I hope they get it fixed soon so we can find more stores with it. So far the only downside with this food is that it stinks. A freshly opened can has a very strong general cat food smell and after refrigeration it's definitely more of a whole mouse, guts and all smell. Maybe this is why the...

I tried using their store locator on every device and browser I have. I'm hoping I can find it slightly cheaper somewhere else. The guaranteed analysis is the same on all 4 cans: Crude protein min 9% Crude fat min 7% Crude fiber max 1% Moisture max 78% Ash max 2.5% Assuming carbs 2.5% So for...

It's all pate so any crunchy bits have been turned to mush. I haven't done the math to figure out the carbs yet (I'm too busy being excited) but I'm pretty confident carbs will be low. The can also had a lot of juice (not weird gummy stuff!) around the pate so it seemed very hydrating.

I went to a local feed store today and found a wet food called Mouser. The second ingredient in the food is mouse! The first is either chicken, duck, turkey, or rabbit depending on the recipe. I was so so so excited. It's pretty expensive at $2.50 for a 5.5 oz can but it's a fun treat! Cookie...

Not having a top entry isn't an option with my dog. Its not possible to have a dog proof room for an open litterbox and my cat doesn't wait to use the box until I'm home so I can keep the dog from eating her poop.

Litter struggles have brought me back to the forum. My cat has ckd and hyperT so she pees a lot. She also always pees in the same spot throughout the day. I used to use pine pellets but sifting it every day with my wrist problems became too much. When I switched to Pretty Litter I loved it at...

I know the vet I work for would certainly recommend taking the top off the litterbox to prevent climbing on top and jumping off. Preventing as much movement as possible is really the best thing for healing. We've had a shattered kitten leg heal perfectly without a splint and keep full use and...

Some states require regular rabies vaccination by law unless the pet is given exemption by the veterinarian for medical reasons. You may want to check your local regulations before writing off vaccines entirely.

Clavamox isn't just an anti-inflammatory, it's an antibiotic. Just like with human antibiotics it won't work if it's not given as directed. If you aren't able to medicate your cat the vet may be willing to board him for the duration of his treatment.

So your vet hasn't even done any bloodworm, urinalysis, or fecal? That's ridiculous. What do you mean by her not liking the new vet? Is she just stressed in general or does she behave aggressively and try to hurt herself and/or others? With all the covid craziness I wouldn't worry about just...

Working at a vet hospital myself, it is a bit more difficult when clients aren't allowed in the building. Usually animals are easier to handle away from the owners because they know their usual tricks won't work, but there's the handful of animals that are the opposite. A scared cat, as long as...

Are you intending to give her the pill before going to the vet for a sedated exam? If so, I would check with the vet for any negative drug interactions. The vet may also be willing to prescribe anti-anxiety medication that is safe to use with sedatives just in case the medication alone isn't...

Top entry litter boxes work well at preventing litter getting kicked out. I'm a fan of pine pellet litter because there's nearly no tracking, though cats don't tend to bury their poop with it.

One thing I'm a bit worried about (and endlessly researching) is the Prilosec. It's not good to be on it long term but the tumors can cause stomach ulcers without it.

My vet didn't have much to say about supplements. She doesn't really believe in them but doesn't think they could hurt since he's not getting treatment. There are no oncologists (or any kind of specialists at all) around here unfortunately. I would have to travel hundreds of miles to get to one...
