Cheapest place for dog toys
Sorry I realise there is a post about pet supplies, but the links seem to be predominantly for meds/food. So where does everyone get their dog toys from online? Used to use ebay for more interesting ones than the local pet shop stocks, but the postage is STEEP!

I'm looking for a 'bouncy' rubber pet mat.
Hello - I hope this is the correct place - I've seen them somewhere before but can't find them now. It's a black rubber pet mat - it was easily cleanable and was cushioned to ease the pressure on precious paws! great for putting in your car boot. thanks!

My poor old dog
My 15 year old collie cross has been in a very bad way these last few days.She has been on medication for incontinence for a few years and for arthritis for the last year.

I work full time..... is a doggie possible???
I've been 'dogless' now for two years and I really hate it. My son and I co own a house, but we both work full time now and it would be so cruel and selfish to get a dog to then leave it. I've heard of dog sitters - is this viable? Kind? Expensive? Stupid?

It has no floor[the…

My cat was put to sleep tonight :(
Our oldest tortoiseshell girl; a rescue cat we'd had for 6 years. I found her lying in the hall this evening, and the vet said she had multiple tumours (although these had been ruled out with bloodtests a few months ago). He said he thought one of them had hit something important inside which had caused her to collapse.…

Bouncing Beagle
My Beagle pup is 4 months old, and is one bundle of energy, its like he is on a bit of elastic! He just jumps up all the time, we can't sit down to have a cup of tea, because he will break his neck trying to get at the drink, or any food within his reach. How do I stop him jumping? also he eats anything!, I feed him twice…

Pet Carriers: a false economy?
I have to move my cat to a new house. I do have a carrier, a cardboard one. It's not great but I have taken her to the vets in it before. I've been having a look at Argos and they have a proper cat carrier she could see out of, for about £10. Not sure whether to buy it. I'm trying to cut back at the moment, but obviously I…
