    Chilblains

    I suffer with chilblains on my toes too OP. Sudocrem is probably the best that I have found for helping to settle them down. I put it on before bed and then slightly loose cotton socks over the top. I really like heat holders socks because they actually do seem to keep my feet warm, although...

    Cat issue 😬

    I would try a few Feliways in the house (I have one in the bedroom where the cats like to sleep and one in the lounge where they tend to play). I know you don't want another litter tray but depending on the size of your dogs, a covered one might stop a dog from using it (although not all cats...

    Wintec with Hart

    I hated the older Wintecs but I have a new one with Hart and it is really good. It's comfortable for both of us and it's very stable on my round mare.

    Looking for a very gentle metal bit for a horse with a short smile, small face, and quite a wide tongue

    I would try a bit fitter because they often work out as more cost effective on the long run, you can try out multiple bits in a couple of hours. I ended up with a low/mid-range priced for my mare because she absolutely loved it (and still does). However, the bit fitter had everything from £12...

    Kittens

    Yes, one of my cats was feral until she was rescued with her mother at 6 weeks. Her mum wasn't tame at all (she was spayed and released after weaning her litter) but her kittens are all very tame and good natured cats. Mine is so content to just sleep on the bed all day, her only slightly feral...

    Ideas for managing a greedy pony

    Is he rugged/clipped? I am just thinking that if you can't stop him eating, then possibly keeping him using up calories staying warm might help keep the weight off. Treat balls with grass pellets in or those dried hay bricks in a tiny net (if you buy the unflavoured ones, they are cheaper) may...

    New hi vis recommendations please?

    V-Bandz are really good, most of my hi Vis is from them and it really lasts. They have waistcoats with pockets, including an endurance (I think) one which has loads of deep pockets which are really useful.

    Livery - owner not living on site

    At my current yard, the owner lives onsite but I have been at one where the owner hasn't. However, they had security cameras and also neighbours next door who were really good at keeping an eye on the place. If there were fireworks or adverse weather, the owner would stay late. I arrived at the...

    Worst thing the cat's done.

    In the last 48 hours my cats have: - Let the house rabbits out of their room in a of very polite jailbreak. - Left a large, half eaten dead spider in the bathroom sink. - Put cat toys in the bed.

    Cat insurance- do you?

    I have all my pets with Agria. They have always been good about paying out and easy to get hold of.

    New Kitten Gone Missing

    Lots of kitten finding vibes, it's such a worry when they go missing. I agree with other posters about looking absolutely everywhere. Both my kittens managed to get in the space behind the toe kick under the kitchen cupboards when they were smaller. They got through the tiniest gap. If your...

    Fussy Cat - Food Suggestions

    You're very welcome, I hope you find something that works. My local cat rescue did very well out of my kitten's discarded food, it really does become expensive.

    Fussy Cat - Food Suggestions

    I have a very fussy kitten but she absolutely loves Marro. It's from the same people who make Butternut Box for dogs. She also likes KatKin. They are not cheap but I am not wasting any wet food now.
