    My otherwise great vet is completely against the raw diet!

    Thats a huge concern for me as well but I’m also thinking she’s received great care from this place before. If they continue to blame the food I’m going to just end up going somewhere else

    My otherwise great vet is completely against the raw diet!

    That’s the thing I also had to deal with. They maybe don’t realize they’re talking down to us like children instead of adults. I’m in my early twenties and maybe that’s why, but On the phone the vet was talking about impossibly complicated balancing their diets could be and that there’s ‘no...

    My otherwise great vet is completely against the raw diet!

    That’s what I did the entire conversation and I’ll continue to do that if I have to but I wish I could find a raw friendly vet. It would be easier to get better feedback and not have them blame everything on the raw diet. She was throwing up? Must be salmonella! When in reality she has a bad...

    My otherwise great vet is completely against the raw diet!

    I actually went in because my cat had been throwing up and they completely ignored her hair tie eating history and used the opportunity to lecture me about the raw food dangers. I also forgot to mention above that they even said I could be causing her so much harm that she could end up dying...

    My otherwise great vet is completely against the raw diet!

    yes you’re absolutely right it was honestly just the initial shock that they spoke against something that was so clearly beneficial and then the second that they would recommend the dry food! And yes I’m feeding my cat a recipe I got from felinenutrition and she’s been loving It for years now

    My otherwise great vet is completely against the raw diet!

    Hello everyone I just wanted to know what to do in this situation because I’ve been feeding my cat raw since I got her as a small 3 month old kitten. She’s been thriving on it and she never had a problem with it. I feed her food in chunks so she gets the whole bone munching teeth cleaning, so...

    Best litter for long haired cats?

    I've had two dsh cats for about a year and we buy their litter at Costco, the Scoop Away (42lbs for $9) and it's worked like a charm, we keep it clean and we never had a litter dragging problem. Paws are clean, cats are happy. I recently adopted a dlh kitten and whenever she goes into the...

    Feral Cat Not Eating

    Any time a cat isn't eating it's because something is wrong.. she would need medical attention because you never know what might be making her sick so it would be hard to say what medication over the counter to give her. I would say the best thing you could do is take her to the vet

    How to soothe jealousy??

    Thank you for replying!!! We give them treats and equal amounts of love, and he's getting better but he's still really rough with the other two cats... and they're strictly indoor cats, and they have a no collar policy.. It's a bit better but it's not completely 100%.

    Pet Insurance? Please help!!

    Well, apparently in New York the rates are different? Lol. Well, all my cats have insurance-but that won't stop me from putting a little savings account for my babies. Insurance may be a life saver but that doesn't mean they'll cover everything!

    How to soothe jealousy??

    Hello all, A few months ago we introduced a new tiny member to our family, she came in severely under weight and slowly she's been growing strong. She came into our house which was already under the rule of Oscar and Matilda. Originally it was just Matilda, and she was the queen, she had...

    Pet Insurance? Please help!!

    Thank you all for your responses they were all wonderful advice! I ended up going with HealthyPaws It was the one that I found to have the most positive reviews and for the amount of coverage, it's a good price. Lola is 4 months old and they're charging me $23 a month. I don't mind paying that...

    Pet Insurance? Please help!!

    The thing is I find ones and think they're good But then I read reviews and they're terrible. I only see high costing insurance plans with crappy reviews and 1/5 ratings. The one that caught my eye is trupanion but besides that nothing else

    Pet Insurance? Please help!!

    Hello all, I recently got a higher paying job and I think it's about time to do the responsible thing and get my cat health insurance. Don't get me wrong, she's gone to the vet before and has all her shots up to date, I'm just so confused I don't know where to start. I've found a few online but...

    Lola Retired?? Please help!!

    Yeah we took her to the cet both times and I even had many phone calls with her vet. No fractures or breaks (we did multiple X-rays to make sure). She did say that her knee caps were a bit loose due to some tendon damage but that it should resolve itself. My question is how long should it take...

    Lola Retired?? Please help!!

    A few weeks ago my little Lola had an incident involving another cat leaving her injured on her left hind leg. A week later the same thing happened with her left front leg/wrist and to add insult to injury she got stepped on by my brother. He was barefoot so it wasn't too bad but still bag...
