Puppy Gate sought
We are looking for a puppy gate for an 80cm doorway They appear to be limited to 79cm width !! The only, wider, ones that I can find have gaps between the bars that are too wide (for babies rather than puppies) The alternative is a freestanding one - that appears to have fixed feet that will mean that the gate, stands out…

Barking Collars
My dog is barking mad, I thought about a barking collar but didn't want one because I thought they shocked the dog. I saw that they do ones that emit a sound now instead. Are these any good and is it cruel in anyway to the dog?

Kitten wee'ing on bed
Hope I can get some good advice here :) We have got an 11 week old kitten. She's good as gold and very good at using her litter tray. However, twice now she has had a wee on my daughter's bed! Both times it has been first thing in the morning, she is kept in the kitchen overnight and I think she gets over-excited when we…

A horrible situation and my lost boy
My husband and I went on holiday and left our two year old boy with his day care sitters. They have had him for a year on the three days I work. Day two of our holiday and I see 10 missed calls on my mobile from her. It seems he was off lead near a major road and was hit by a motorbike. They then didnt take him to the…

So excited!!
Last September I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins lymphoma, and since then I've been through chemo etc etc (far too boring to give you the details!) Anyway as I live on my own, with the help of my friend, I had to put my dogs in foster care. The fosterers have been wonderful and kept me in the loop with pictures and videos…

Making chews
Is there a way to make hard chews for a dog. Mine chew them for hours, as they are little dogs, and keeps them busy when I need to get something done. But, I don't think they are very good for goods and they certainly are cheap. Is there a cheap way to make something like them that is also better for the dog?

Help identify this dog
Hi there a friend of mine has asked me if I know what type of dog this is that's featured in this French music video. I just said it was a husky as that's all I know.

Taming of a feral cat
I rescued a 5 yr old former feral cat in March of last year, she had been with a foster home for about 2 months and been "tamed" & had all vet treatments done. The night I got her she freaked out so on advice from the rescue I crated her for a while until she got used to me. I was able to pet her in the crate and she…

Insurance prior to neutering?
I'm in the process of adopting a cat and he'll be with me tomorrow. He has had his kitten jabs but needs boosters soon, worming next week and hasn't yet been neutered. I'm looking into insurance but they are asking if he's been neutered/wormed etc. He hasn't and that pushes the insurance price up. But he'll be neutered…

Dog Fouling Fine
My elderly mum was out walking her dog and stopped to chat to a friend in a park. Unbeknownst to her, the dog did a poo without her noticing. She was then approached by two dog wardens and issued a fixed penalty of £80. I think this is outrageous. Firstly it's WAY too steep. Secondly, as she didn't notice, she offered to…

Paddling pool? For dogs?
Need a paddling pool for dogs this summer. Any recommendations, it's for two German shepherds, I don't know whether to go for folding ones or rigid or sandpit like. Happy to have two, there is enough room in garden for two but they often share things like toys so maybe a really large one. Storage not a big problem either…

Cyprus Pride House
Has anybody had any dealings with these people? What they do seems too good to be true - rescuing animals in Cyprus and re-homing them in the UK for just £100. The usual advice is don't part with money until you have seen the pet but this may be the exception that proves the rule? They have a web and facebook presence…

Cat Alarm
We rehomed a cat last year from a friend of a friend. He is a lovely lovely boy, so affectionate and with such a great personality. He came to us from a house that used to let him in all the bedrooms, on all the beds, eating off the kitchen side etc etc, and personally we haven't wanted that. With my previous cats I…
