MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DOGS;
Q. Why does my dog smell?
Ans; We are what we eat. If we feed a diet of brisket or similar which is very fatty our dog will smell. The fat comes out of the pores in the skin and smells. A wash will make the dog smell better for a couple of days and the smell will return. Feeding a proper complete and balanced diet such as a super premium food will cure this problem in a matter of weeks.
Q. How can I stop my dog pulling on the lead?
Ans; Purchase a halti or gentle leaderand follow the instructions. The device turns and pulls the dogs head towards the ground and the dog cannot see where it is going with the head pointing towards the ground. The dog will stop pulling immediately.
MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CATS;
Q. I have flea treated my cat and it is still scratching.
Ans; Have you done the enviroment with a flea bomb? Many fleas hide in bedding and the enviroment. A flea must jump on the cat and come in contact with the flea product before it will die. Therefore you are likely to find live fleas on your cat.
Q. My neighbour says that dry food causes my cat to become constipated. A good quality super premium food will not cause your cat to become constipated. Do you provide fresh clean water daily? If your answer is yes get your cat vet checked - there will be another reason.

MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SMALL ANIMALS;
Q. Can I keep 2 male rabbits together?
Ans. You can until they are about three months old and become sexually mature. Then they will have to be separated as they will start to fight and inflict some nasty wounds upon each other.
Q. My friend gave me a lot of lettuce and carrots for my rabbit. Now it it passing lots of orange urine.
Ans. Do not feed too many carrots and no lettuce to your rabbit. Lettuce contains 96% water and that will cause your rabbit to urinate regularly. Lettuce is of no dietry value to rabbits. Carrot will colour the urine. Just a small piece each day is sufficient. Use a good quality rabbit mix, hay and lucerne pellets or blocks for a balanced diet.
