It was ONE ball, just ONE.....

I get 3 of the same ones in Asda,,, the VetUK site was not clear at all how many balls is there - see description under the link in the post above...

Grrrrrr

I see what you mean. The picture leads you to suppose you are buying a whole box full. It does say buy quantity 1 on the button you click to buy, but that could well mean also 1 box. I find that misleading if at best unclear. I sugget you contact them to point it out. You may even get a voucher for letting them know.

Exactly - and throuout the descriptions they say "balls" (plural) so tbh I expected more then one.

Sure, emailed them already....very misleading

Balls come in 3 different designs which are unfortunately random and cannot be guaranteed.
Balls are 6cm in diameter.

Tomatoes and tomato plants: Tomatoes of all kinds are toxic to cats, as are parts of the tomato plant. Ingesting as little as a cherry tomato can cause severe gastrointestinal upset.

I find some of the things on that article quite strange.
My vet mentioned garlic and said it was a good natural deterrant for fleas, it is also good for the heart and joints.
If you look on a lot of websites selling dog related things, there are treats with garlic, eg - http://www.holmfirthbailey.co.uk/barker-and-barker.php
I questioned this as I know onions are supposed to be bad for dogs but she said they are in large quantities. Garlic tablets or even adding fresh garlic to his food would be fine. I give him 2 Holland and Barret garlic oil tablets a day.

It also says that chicken bones are bad, I don't give my dog those as I am afraid of them splintering but I know a lot of you that raw feed do feed them.

Turkey skin? - what is supposed to be wrong with turkey skin? Never heard that one before.

I also give my dog a drink of tea now and again, I've not heard of that being bad before either and know lots of dogs that have that as a treat each day. I know that doesn't make it alright to give them, but not heard it was bad before.

Well, Zara after her first walk with the new dog walker

The wooly mammoth looks very contented,clearly a good dog walker,so money well spent (and saved)

gettingready

Paul, the new dog walker turned up nearly 20 min early today and they went off for good 1.5 hour.

Said Zara is a pleasure to walk with, she listens to him, responds well and generally he wishes he lived closer and could take her twice per day.

I guess a pocket full of hot dogs helps but generally Zara really likes men and is very happy to be walked by one.....

I am happy for sure as it is always a worry to change a dog walker...

Yay! to Paul the new dog walker - fantastic that Zara's happy to go out with him.

How are you feeling?

Oh one day on top of the world and another day flat as a pancake - still early days.... thanks

Well....I have finally decided to have a go at down-grading the wet cat food (that she doesn't really eat anyhow just licks the gravy off)

I nrmally get 4 boxes of gourmet perle (48 pouches) for I think £24 unless on offer.

Have just bout 2 boxes sheba for £8 and PAH own make £5 (24 sachets)....so total of £13.

So here goes.......watch the little darling refuse to eat any of it and I end up giving it to Mr.starz upstairs or the cat rescue.....again.

Hope u feel better soon GR.

And sounds like new blokey is fitting in really well,I used to get paranoid about people I knew taking mine out....if they could get him out without me,but he (last dog and a norwich terrier) was a little terrorist wrapped in a cute coat.....but I loved him,and those he would allow into his world:)
