  1. So glad he is back home safe. I have "Tractive" GPS tracker on my cat, its given me peace of mind knowing where he is. You download the Tractive app to your phone and can follow his movements, you can also get it to light up and bleep if you're out searching for him and need the precise spot where they are.
  2. This young unneutured cat has been hanging around the houses and gardens of Friern and Upland roads for a while. He's not microchipped. He regularly is going into people's homes and is either very bold or desperate as household cats and dogs don't phase him! If he's yours or you know the owners please message me Thanks
  3. The interesting (and worrying) thing they mentioned on the radio 4 phone in, was that these big chains have protocols, so when an animal comes in with a problem, treatment A is applied, regardless of the individual pet. And treatment A is always the most expensive course of treatment. Whereas an independent vet would give options and prices and owner and vet would decide together. These chains have shareholders to keep happy. And profits are king. The speakers on the programme strongly advised to support independent vets to give them support to keep them in business.
  4. Although putting barbed wire in her garden is not illegal per se, should your cat be injured by it then she could fall foul of the animal welfare act ( causing unnecessary suffering to an animal). If she is "lovely " ( not a term I'd give her!), then I'd speak to her and advise her against this. I'm amazed at your tolerance towards her, I certainly wouldn't be if she was my neighbour doing this! Good luck
  5. And there in lies the problem! These vet practices are being run for the fat cats to cream off vast salaries at the expense of us pet owners. Apart from Ms Robson in Highshore Rd, does anyone know if there's any independent vets left in the area?
  6. £30!!!??? Crazy price. Vets 4 pets at Sydenham ( in Pets at Home), charging £13, Ms Robson £10, so how can Neighbourhood Vets justify their prices.
  7. I now use Foster & sons in Forest Hill Rd, opposite Peckham Rye Park, always friendly and helpful, unlike some other pharmacies in the area.
  8. Froglander: I now go to Paxton Vets in Gipsy Hill. I've been very impressed by two different vets I've seen there. One suggested cleaning my cats wound with salt water rather than sell me an expensive cleaner. Jules&Boo: Glad you're happy with NV, wish I could say the same but sadly the practice is now managed by finance people who are only interested in making maximum income, I feel sorry for the poor vets who have to work under that regime . But agree Herne Hill practice leaves a lot to be desired as in past used them but left due poor practice. That's why I was thrilled with Amber and Suzanne when they opened their NV practice on Barry Parade, but sadly that's no more
  9. I was with Neighbourhood Vets but have now changed vets as I felt getting as much money out of me was their number one priority. Sad that this has happened to what use to be a good vets. I think the only way to convey disgust is to vote with your feet and go elsewhere! I now go to a lovely practice that are upfront with their prices and are cheaper than this vets.
  10. Thanks for this. That's so sad. Ellie used to have people travel miles to see her as it was an excellent practice under her. Which vets do people recommend? It seems most have been swallowed up by big companies which put profits as a priority
  11. Hi. Would appreciate any reviews on the Norwood Rd veterinary practice since Ellie's departure. Looking at their website there doesn't seem to be any of the old staff working there anymore. I have been going to Ellie for years and trusted her and her team completely, so it would be helpful to know if new team are as good?
  12. Friern Rd have some fabulous advent windows....
  13. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, unbelievable, whatever was Dulwich College thinking!? So pleased this stall has withdrawn, it was not appropriate and not fair on the other traders at the event.
  14. Really hope you find her soon. You may already have done this, but if not post on "Dogs Lost". They have volunteers locally who might be able to help.
  15. I would contact "Dogs lost" and get her registered as lost asap. They send out alerts to helpers in local area to start a search. Also contact Battersea in case she gets picked up and taken there. Good luck, such a worry
  16. What about wild birds imasnookercue? Should they all be banished from our city? It's not just domestic pets that suffer with fireworks. Oh and what about service animals? I hope you're never in a situation where you need the assistance of a dog to save you!!!
  17. Phew! what a relief, her poor owners must have been in despair. Don't feel bad civilservant, at least you tried to help
  18. I noticed a sign on railings this evening apologising for the rubbish and that the Gala management team are still working on the clean up! Hopefully the screws, nails, bolts etc will all be picked up as dangerous for humans and animals
  19. Any update on this? Poor dog, I hope she's now somewhere safe.
  20. I was over there this evening and yes Fishboy, what you filmed is exactly what I saw, cable ties a plenty, cigarette butts, ring pulls etc. The grass will grow back but the ridges and holes from the trucks/equipment will remain. They weren't repaired from last year and now made even worse!
  21. Friern Rd is doing advent calendar windows
  22. Brilliant news, let's hope he's more cautious in his adventures!!
  23. Sorry to hear she's missing. What section of Friern Rd? I'll keep an eye out on my walks.
  24. My sister has a lovely 400yr old self catering holiday cottage in Somerset with views of Quantock Hills from the bedroom, Kilve beach only 5km away. For photos or more information call her on 07751 572127
