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.

How do you feed your cat?
There's an ongoing debate in our household as to how we should feed OH's cat. We live with OH's parents and siblings and part of making him more responsible for himself we have taken over feeding his cat. As part of this we also end up feeding his little sister's cat too. Both are male and healthy weights. I guess OH's cat…

Aquarium queries
I'm considering getting a small aquarium, probably for tropical fish. I'm a bit concerned about the noise the pump might make. It's a long time since I've kept fish but I do remember the air pumps then made quite a loud hum. I used to keep soft materials under it to try and reduce it but it didn't help much. Are they still…
