Does your pet have a 'sensitive stomach'? That is, do they intermittently show signs of vomiting and/or diarrhoea?

There are many potential causes of a sensitive stomach, ranging from food intolerances or allergies to inflammatory bowel disease.

The prospect of introducing your new human baby to your original furry family member is exciting, but can also be a little daunting.

Here are some tips for easing the transition for your pet, and keeping bub safe!

On the whole, adult cats are pretty self-sufficient little family-members.

There are, however, some basic home health care procedures that we should be helping them out with.

Short-legged dog breeds, such as dachshunds, corgis and basset hounds make for popular pets due to their distinct appearance.

There are whole internet photo collections dedicated to hilariously chunky corgi rumps - just Google “corgi butts” if your interest is piqued! These dogs are also enjoyed for their loyal, loving and often sassy personalities.

Urine spraying is a unique activity where a cat stands with their tail in the air and delivers a squirt of urine against a vertical surface.

Most of the time, you won’t even notice your cat spraying but this behaviour can become a ‘behavioural issue’ when a cat starts to do it inside (on the curtains!).

We know giving oral medications to your pet can be tricky, especially if your pet isn’t the cooperative type.

Regularly worming your cat or dog probably does not rate first on your list of fun pet care topics but it’s important to stay on top of!

It's important for the health of your pet, yourself and your family!
