Ex breeding dogs
I've been thinking about adopting an ex breeding dog for quite a while, we won't be in a position to do it until the summer as our pup will be a year old then. I just wondered if anyone has done it could share how they found it and if we'd be a suitable home as I work 12 hours a week and would us having a year old dog be…

Fussy cats!!!!

They've been having bozita or butchers classic, i've tried almo nature, several carny ones, sainsburys and tesco varieties. I've also tried bought and home prepared raw cat foods. They'll eat tiny bits but then no more. They…

Unwanted treats!
What gives a person the right to offer your dog a "treat" without prior permission? I'm becoming sick and tired of people thinking they are doing me a favour by offering my pooch a sugar loaded, processed treat without my permission! A) my pooch is raw fed, he doesn't eat processed crap, only dehydrated raw meats. B) it's…

Initially we thought along with the vet it was an allergy to something he was coming into contact with outside, and this could still be the cause. On two occasions he was treated with Steroids and Antibiotics and…

Chronic sickness and diarrhoea in cat
Hello, I'm posting here in desperation, hoping that someone has had a similar experience and can suggest something I haven't already tried. My female, neutered cat (Sally) is 12 years old and I have had her since she was four. I got her and her sister (Mavis) from a shelter but they were not 'rescue' cats in the sense that…
