    Sudden Aggressive Behaviour in 4 Year Old Basset

    Was talking to a collegue yesterday who was rather upset about her dog. About a month ago he really went for another dog in a pet shop, which he had NEVER done before. She removed him from the situation and thought it was a one-off. Since then, he has aggressively gone for her mum and two...

    For those disgusted by the death of the trotter

    It just churns my stomach to watch them. Although the horses in the vids DO look a MILLION times better than the ones around here. Only some of the ones near me are proper pacers - the others just trot really fast. They regularly race them down the duel carriageway and whip cars as they pass...

    How soon after gelding is he safe to go out with mares?

    New horse moved onto our yard at the weekend. He was gelded in January and there are a lot of differing opinions amongst the liveries as to when he'll be safe to turn out with the girlies. Some say 6 weeks, some say 6 months! He's 3 and a half years old and it's not known whether or not...

    Introducing a new cat & an already-existing dog to each other - tips??

    My grandparents are picking up their new cat from a shelter tomorrow. He's a 3 year old boy and is bigger than the dog! The dog is also 3 and they've had him since a pup. The dog is fine with cats, but the cat has never lived with dogs. It's a big house and they wont be left alone with each...

    tack pack

    Ebay's the cheapest i've seen them, but still hold their prices quite well. Normally pick-up only, so only a slim chance of one being near-by. Just keep an eye in local classifieds.

    joint supplements

    We've been using Grand Meadows Grand Flex for 6 months and LOVE it! Used a few other supplements before this, including Corta Flex, but Grand Flex has by far shown the biggest improvement. Even our vet noticed how much better she's striding out. UK retailer...

    What do you reckon....very odd email!

    At first i DID believe it was a grandmother, but the more i've read it, i'm reckoning it's a child pretending to be older. Awww. I've just emailed her back, saying we've found someone now, but good luck finding one for herself.
