When this happened to me, I also put the food dish inside a larger dish of water and it kept the ants out of the food. I also tried to spray around the door or other points of entry with Orange Guard. It is a natural insecticide made from orange peel extract, food grade ingredients, and it is...

Went to the vet this morning, it was an abscessed anal gland. The vet said that it had ruptured on its own, which was why she was licking it so much- to clean it. She gave me a solution to clean the area and antibiotics. We're going back in a week to make sure it is healing correctly. I...

Hi All, I noticed tonight that my cat has an area on her butt where she has licked off her fur, and the skin is swollen and bruised looking. She has had skin problems before due to allergies, but they were just little black spots like zits on her chin, nothing like this. It looks almost like...

Royal Canin is the third company that received the contaminated RPC. From http://www.petconnection.com/blog/20...states-recall/ This just released by Royal Canin US: It is with sincere regret that I inform you of a new and unfortunate development with some of our pet food products. Although...

Oops... sorry, didn't see that That's definitely a relief.

Both Nutro and Hill's have said that they use RPC, but not from that supplier. That doesn't convince me that it's safe, what we need to know whether or not the RPC is imported, especially from China. The wheat gluten and the RPC were from different suppliers, but both were from China (as was...

I use a product called Orange Guard. It is made from orange peel extract, the scent repels ants. It's natural and safe to use around pets. I spray it directly on the ants and in any places they might hide, it keeps them away for a few weeks at least. I wipe up any excess so my cat doesn't...

I sent them the pics, and got this reply: Hi Tiffany, Those white specks are part of the vitamin, mineral, and digestive enzyme complex that we add after cooking to ensure that they are not destroyed during the cooking process. We do not add any extra salt to any of the Felidae and Canidae...

Thanks so much for the pics and all your replies! That was very helpful. The specks must be normal... but it is a little strange that their customer service didn't know what I was talking about, you'd think they would know what their product looks like. I'll email them the pictures and let...

I would use something that you know is safe, like baking soda or vinegar (even though I hate the smell of vinegar). There is also a product called Clorox Anywhere, supposedly it is chemically balanced in such a way that it is very gentle and safe to use around pets, children and food. I use it...

Diet changes can cause diarrhea, in which case it would probably go away after he gets used to the new food. But, it can also indicate more serious health problems, so if it continues or if he starts acting differently, it might be a good idea to have him looked at by a vet. That way they can...

Thanks, it makes me feel a bit better that it is not just in the food I got (I thought maybe that particular bag had spoiled or something). But, I emailed the company to ask about it just in case, and they assured me that their products are safe, but said they aren't exactly sure what I'm...

If she is vomiting a lot she needs to see a vet. At her age, the vet might want do a CBC to check all of her organs, if she hasn't had one recently. I think some vets will work out a payment plan with you if you can't afford to pay up-front, just call before you go and make sure it's ok. If...

According to their website, the treats have not been recalled. It says: ALPO Prime Cuts in Gravy canned products and Mighty Dog pouch products manufactured by Menu Foods continue to be the only Purina products affected by this recall. This is from...

Sorry if this has already been posted... Del Monte issued a new recall of some of their products, including Pounce Meaty Morsels. The press release is here: http://home.businesswire.com/portal/...ews_view_popup

I was feeding my cat Science Diet dry, but given Hill's involvement with Menu and its recall of m/d, I decided to try Felidae and see if my cat likes it. I noticed that the food (the regular dry formula for cats and kittens) has little white specks in the food that look like salt. I assume it...

I live in an apartment and have recently started seeing sugar ants and occasional silverfish. I think they must be coming from a neighbor's apartment, since I have been here two years and never had a problem before. I have been using Orange Guard for a while since it's safe for my cat, but it...

I used to give one of my cats a vitamin paste called Felovite that I bought at the vet's office.

Bloody diarrhea can be serious, I would take him to a vet to get him checked out, especially if it continues. My cat also used to have chronic diarrhea with no apparent cause (although not bloody). She recently switched to Hill's prescription W/D diet and hasn't had any since! It is actually...

I have used a soft-sided Samsonite carrier on airplanes. It is the recommended size, but sometimes I have trouble getting it to fit completely under the seat. I just put it as far under as I can get it without scrunching it up. Also, most airlines only require that the carrier is under the...
