I had a quote yesterday at just over £1000 as long as I sort the paperwork which does seem reasonable. My plan will now be to leave her with my parents till mid May, by then I should be settled and know if I can have her with me (and maybe whether I think its going to be long term). I am...

They are pretty high maintenance dogs, completely worth it in my eyes, but certainly not the easiest of dogs to own, too intelligent for their own good!

I really don't want to regret not taking her. I have requested quotes from about 5 different international pet transporters so I shall wait and see what the total cost is going to be. I think I am also going to put the word out locally to see if anyone would be interested in rehoming a...

This is exactly my dilema, because I don't know if we will stay there for 1 year, 3 years, 10 years or forever! My parents can keep her for about 3 and a half months which will help. There is no quarentine in the UK from NZ and vice versa, so this is good, but it still doesnt take away from the...

Hi, I'm not really much of a poster, but I need some second opinions and some advise. I'm moving to NZ at the end of Jan with my boyfriend, he will be farming over there, I will be living with him and finding some work once we are out there. For me the move is more of an experience, I...

Travelodge allow pets for a supplement of £10 per pet.

hello, Really sorry to hear about your horse, I have been in your situation so can understand how you feel, about 4 years ago my mare got laminitis and ended up with 4 rotated pedal bones, 2 of which sunk (front). Its horrible to see your horse in pain but with the right treatment it can be...

get a working cocker, how could you resist! (any excuse to post a cute photo!) hehe

lovely jubbly! more pictures please....

Thanks for all your opinions, I will look into the hoof protection, as she could still do a fair bit of ridden work if it wasnt for her dropped soles. I'm not sure if there is anything in the way of charities that take on retired horses, I thought they were just for rescue cases, could be wrong...

I can understand what your saying and I would never just pass her on to wash my hands of her so to speak, she's been with me for 6 years so this is a massive decision for me. She's not actually difficult to keep, she lives on fresh air so just needs a basic paddock for turn out and no hard...

Hi guys, I'm quite new to this so bear with me! I'm currently looking for a companion home for my 17 yr old cob mare. Can anyone advise me where is best to look? She is laminitic, altough now recovered and can live out, has to be kept on a quite bare field, she can be ridden lightly but can...

thank you! She is my little angel, I would advise anyone (with an active lifestyle) to get one. I dont understand all the cocker haters out there! (ok so i'm slightly biased!)

Couldnt resist but add a few photo's of my working cocker Poppy, she is still a pup, around 5 or 6 months in the pics. I have really enjoyed reading through the replies, negative and positive, some of them did make me laugh as Poppy can be very clingy, and sometimes still mouths my hand when...
