Pet Question: Is it okay to pat a guide dog?
When a Guide Dog has a harness on, they are working so you cannot pat them. If their harness is off, ask their owner if it's okay.
Pet Question: My dog always howls when there are police, ambulance or fire engine sirens, why does he do this? Is it normal? - Melissa This is a normal behaviour for some dogs - they are simply communicating in a similar way to wolves. My dog does the same thing!
There is a specific new piece of furniture in a set that my cat doesn’t like and keeps peeing on. Why doesn't it like it and how do we get it to stop peeing on it? - Malloree
Your cat is marking his territory - you can break the cycle initially by putting his food bowls near that piece of furniture because cats don't like to toilet where they eat. Sometimes a cat repellent spray can help. Make sure he has multiple clean litter trays and have him checked by your vet to ensure he is healthy.
Pet Question: I have a pet budgie, I feel it seeds and lettuce, should I be feeding it anything else? - Patty Your budgie needs a good quality seed mix made specifically for budgies, as well as small amounts of fruit and veggies, such as spinach, broccoli, parsley, grated carrot, apple, pumpkin and papaya. Make sure he has clean water available at all times.
Pet Question: What makes a rabbit happy and healthy? - Jessica
A large, clean hutch; plenty of supervised exercise outside the hutch; lots of fresh leafy vegetables, rabbit pellets, grass and fresh hay. Don't forget to give them lots of love and attention, and regular checks at the vet to make sure they are healthy.
