Cat developed allergy near ears!
So a few days ago my cat started scratching herself in front of her ears, made herself bleed. As soon as wounds started to heal she would scratch the scab away again. We took her to the vet, and apparently she's having an allergic reaction to something - vet thinks it could be food, as just a couple of days earlier we gave…

Cat Making A Distress Cry
Lately my cat has been making a loud cry like she is distressed when I leave a room she is in. And the other day she was sat outside on the fence just calm and nothing wrong then she just did it out of nowhere. She stopped when I picked her up though. Is it attention seeking? it seems so.

Best vacuum cleaner for cat hair
I have two lovely cats who shed a lot of hair. I currently have a Panasonic upright vacuum cleaner with the bags, it's good at picking up hair but the hose for curtains and getting behind the telly isn't long enough, nor is the wire which I have to unplug and plug in again between rooms. I fancy a cordless vac but have…

Wet food dispensers/puzzle feeders for dogs
Our dog clears her food in seconds so we're looking for dispensers to slow her down and to get her thinking. We're struggling to find stuff that works for her wet food (minced meat). We're finding plenty of options for dry food but not wet. We have a kong and these but are there other products out there we could try? Thanks

Is Bravecto bad for dogs?
As a dog lover I read a lot of posts on facebook etc about dogs, and stumbled by accident on a large group called 'does Bravecto kill dogs', I was shocked at what I was reading, and it seemed way too large to be 2 or 3 disgruntled customers. We got worming tablets from our vet at Christmas and I checked and they are…

Dog Microchip Updating Details
Hi, I have two dogs, both microchipped. When we moved house I went to update their details and discovered that while this is free for Petlog, it costs money for Identichip.
