Hi. I have a 5 year old cocker spaniel called Toffee and she really is the cutest but I'm struggling with her behaviour. Everyday for the past 3/4 years we have come downstairs to find poo and wee all over the kitchen floor. I'm not exaggerating when I say there have been maybe a few weeks...

Hi guys, I’m new here. Just signed up to see if anyone can offer any advice. We have had our Beagle now for 2.5 years, she was an adorable, cuddly, snuggly girl but she seemed lonely at home (she’s nearly 3) She goes to day care a few time throughout the month and she has friends she loves to...

Hi, I am looking for some tips/advise. We got a Shar Pei puppy 4 weeks ago. He lives with me in a block of flats (no private garden) but goes to my mum and dads of a day (who does have a garden). When he first came home with me he would wee and poo on the grass outside the flats (and seemed...

Hello, I hope you are all well! I wanted to start this threat in order to reach out and connect with other cat owners about an interesting issue. I, myslef, am a cat owner (and a dog owner), and I absolutely adore them both. As some of you might or might not know, domestic cats can have an...

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone else has experienced with their frenchie what I have. I have a male 10 months old puppy. He has been an absolute dream. Always been on guard and can’t protective of the house (so any knocks at the door or sounds outside the house he will react and be at a stance...

Hey all! This is a bit of an strange one, and one that I'm not sure is actually a behavioural issue or just that my cat is an odd ball! So for a bit of background I have a 10 month old ginger girl who is fully vaccinated, spayed, up to date with worming and fleas, and is an outdoors cat...
