Hi all, Just curious if anyone has used Heartgard Chewables for Cats to prevent heartworms. I've normally used topical stuff for fleas and heartworms, but I'd really prefer to not use it anymore if possible. This seems like a good alternative as fleas aren't really my concern, but heartworms...

My cat has been scratching quite a bit. Enough to cause scabs on her back and around her neck. I took her to the vet and they gave her a steroid shot. It seemed to help for a few days. They don't think it is food allergies and more likely that it is seasonal. I found NaturVet's Aller-911...

I'm looking for some canned wet food suggestions for my cat, and was hoping someone here could help! My cat was on Weruva Chicken for a while, but had problems with bowel movements (I also tried with probiotics and canned pumpkin). She would only have a bowel movement about once every 5 days...

A couple months ago I found a spot on my cats leg that she was licking. She had licked all the fur away and the were as a cut that she continued to open up. I'm not sure how she got that wound, but it could have been from a nasty fall that she had a year prior and I had never noticed it. I took...

Hi All, I currently feed my cat Wellness Chicken wet canned food. She hasnt been a huge fan of wet food and prefers dry food much more. However, I want to stick with canned food and I've been thinking of switching to Halo as she isn't a huge fan of Wellness. About a year ago I tried Halo and...

Last night I put a bit of flea / tick medication on my cat. My vet prescribed Paradyn, however, I got a bit mixed up and I accidentally used Hartz Feline medication instead. The bottle is 1.8 ml which seemed like a lot (opposed to Paradyn which is 0.7) and it left a pretty big spot on her neck...

Thanks for the advice. I'll try switching it up a bit. Do you think it's okay to stay with Wellness? I like buying the 12.5 oz cans as they are such a great deal. Maybe switching from Chicken to Turkey will help? I'm not sure how much turkey will make a difference. I would try a combination of...

Hi, I originally fed my cat dry food, but she was powering through it very quickly and wanting almost double the amount recommended. She was a stray cat and was a bit underweight. I began to split her food up into baggies, and only gave her the recommended amount. I would split it up into night...

Hi, I have a cat that I frequently take with me to my parents house. They live about 2 hours a way and I visit about once a month. Recently, they took in a stray cat and decided to keep her. When I bring my cat to their house, it is usually just for the weekend. Therefore, it made it pretty...

Yes both cats are spayed and fully vaccinated. I visit only about once a month for a weekend, but in the past my family has watched my cat while I travel for work. That can usually be about 1 week.  I agree that it probably has been rushed a bit, though there seems to be a lot of improvement...

My family brought in a stray cat a few months ago and decided to adopt her. This has been a bit of a problem since I visit my family pretty frequently, and have always brought my cat with me. The first time I brought my cat, against my wishes, they put the cats together and it went pretty...

Hi, I recently moved into a new apartment that is on the first floor. My previous apartments were all on the second (top) floor, so being on the first floor is new to me. In my previous apartments, I would always leave my blinds up and would put my cat's cat tree next to the sliding screen door...

I've been giving my cat fortiflora as a probiotic for a few months, but have had suggestions to give her a human probiotic. Is it safe to give a human probiotic to a cat? Here is the one I purchased I purchased the following one: Nexabiotic Probiotic 23-strain Multi-probiotic Supplement with...
