Praise for Healthy Pets Insurance
Just wanted to say how brilliant I've found Healthy Pets to be. I've had my two cats insured with them since they adopted me in 2009 but I've never claimed before and they do say that you never know how good your insurance is until you have a claim. My beautiful boycat fell ill in August and the vet struggled for a…

Tear Stain remover
Can anyone help me find a safe remedy for removing tear staining on a gold coloured long haired dog please? My pet is almost 14 years old and has started to develop cataracts. One of her eyes 'weeps' constantly and as a result over the past few months one side of her face is now a dark brown colour - totally different from…

What wet cat food?
Which cat food does your cat prefer? Faced with a cat that is bored easily by the same food I am making expensive rejected mistakes in the wet food in a pouch category - some common reactions observed- Will eat Lidl but throws it up Loves Sheba for 4 pouches then hates it Will not even consider Tescos premium. Liked…

What did the vet mean?
Took dog to vets for her injections last night. The little minx went for him. He saw her spinning round and round in circles and said it could be her brain. Shes already had part of her tail amputated from doing this. rescued this dog 4 years ago of a chav who threatened to kill her and its something she has always done.…

Guinea pigs outside?
Is it too cold at the moment to keep guinea pigs outside? We wanted to get gp's in about a month, once our conservatory is finished, but we saw 2 beautiful ones for sale today, so our best option would be keep them outside for a month. We haven't got a cage/hutch yet, hoping for a second hand one from ebay or gum tree.…

Is online cat food cheaper?
Hello! I normally buy dry cat food at the supermarket, but recently wondered whether it would be cheaper to buy online? Does anyone buy online and find it cheaper? I have an amazon prime account so might investigate there first. ..

Cruciate repair - Cat.....not long after my dogs went!
Poor cat was lame over the weekend, kept trying to put weight on it unsuccessfully. Thought she might have strained something and would improve as was eating OK. Went to vets last night, who wanted an x-ray as could be hip related, possibly related to previous injury where she shattered her leg after being hit by a car and…

Finding a suitable base for a fish tank?
So I've got a 60l fish tank and a tattyish black stand, and it just doesn't fit in with the rest of the furniture. I haven't bought the new furniture yet so have a bit of scope, but I'm struggling to find a decent stand, or even a normal unit that can handle it. I was advised Ikea had a lot of units that'd be OK, but the…

Zooplus Cat Food
Hi all, I'm trying to work out an approximate budget for how much it would cost a month to feed a cat using one of the better brands such as those found on Zooplus. For those using Zooplus, roughly how much wet and dry food do you get through a month per cat? And roughly how much do you therefore spend a month on wet and…

Cat eats elsewhere
We have a cat - that is overweight - he eats his breakfast at about 5am (after waking us up) - he goes out and, recently - doesn't return for about 6 or 7 hours !! We think that he is eating elsewhere (a neighbour puts food out for stray cats !!) What can we do to stop him from overeating - he is on a "diet" but eats what…

Getting a dog from local dogs home
Does anyone have any experience of getting a dog from a dogs home? Would like advice on what the process is please. Is it difficult to do or a quite simple thing to do. We have previously had 2 dogs but got them both from family or friends who had puppies. Our situation is that we have a nice home, no children or other…

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in crisis!
Cavaliers need your help, they suffer from two big major health issues. Studies have shown that both Syringomyelia ( SM ) and Mitral Valve Disease ( MVD ) are less likely to occur if cavaliers are health screened before breeding. We are asking for the Kennel Club to make health testing mandatory for this breed. Please sign…

Cat litter tray liners
Another post. I like to use cat tray liners as they keep the tray much cleaner but I found my cats were doing their business outside of the tray so I did away with the liners and they stopped doing it but the tray was a devil to clean out so I'm trying them again but they are going outside of the tray again. What can I do…

Cat's tummy trouble
My cat has a runny problem, but she's not going all the time, just once every 24-36 hours as normal. She seems okay in herself, a bit jumpier than usual maybe, but she's still eating and playing. The usual advice is to give them chicken for a troubled tummy, but she refuses chicken completely. I have tried her with some…

Burns dog food
Hi all, We have had the privilege of welcoming a little sausage dog into our home. She's been eating Pedigree (not the best I know) and I'm thinking about putting her onto Burns dog food. Is it worth it - 2kg for £8 is alot. How many other dog owners on here feed their puppies that? I'm thinking of weaning my cats onto the…

Pet Owners Opinions Wanted re Dog
We have a lovely 13 yr old lab. He's had a good life but this last couple of years his back legs have been starting to go. He now no longer stands up tall, more of a back leg squat, sitting seems to be uncomfortable for him as he either stands or lies down. The last year and a half he has been pooing in the house which is…
