Behaviour and Training
If you want your pet to be well behaved you will need to train him or her correctly. Our products can help to train your pet to behave in the way you would wish.
Cat Litter and Trays
Get good results with house training and help to eliminate house soiling problems by placing your cat's litter tray in a quiet area away from busy areas of the house if possible. Cats like to go to the toilet privately and many will appreciate the hooded cat litter trays. Do not place the litter tray near to the cat's food or water- they do not like to eat and go to the toilet in the same place! Change the litter frequently to keep it clean and pleasant for the cat to use; many cats will not use a dirty litter tray but are perfectly happy once it has been cleaned.

D.A.P and Feliway
DAP and Feliway products are synthetic versions of natural pheromones which dogs and cats produce at certain times and which help to reduce fear, anxiety and stress in these animals. When pets are stressed or anxious they often behave in ways which we find unacceptable. This may involve house soiling, destructive behaviour and excessive vocalisation. In these situations pheromone products may help a great deal to alleviate the stress for the pet and reduce or prevent the unwanted behaviour.
Feliway
Feliway is a synthetic form of the feline facial pheromone which cats naturally use when they rub their cheeks against objects or people. It makes their environment feel safe and familiar to them. If cats are feeling stressed or anxious they may start to show behaviour such as urine marking and scratching which are obviously undesirable. By using Feliway you can help to reassure your cat and make their environment more relaxing for them to be in. This in turn will help to prevent or stop undesirable behaviours which are related to stress. If your cat is urine marking (spraying )in your house, scratching furniture or showing other signs of stress then Feliway could help.
D.A.P.
All mother animals release substances called "appeasing" pheromones while they are lactating (producing milk). The purpose of these is to reassure and calm the offspring. These reassuring properties remain effective for adult animals too. D.A.P. products contain a synthetic form of the natural canine appeasing pheromone and can help to stop or prevent fear related behaviour in puppies and adult dogs such as destruction, vocalisation, house soiling or excessive licking. D.A.P.products help to comfort puppies and adult dogs in situations they may find worrying or which make them apprehensive (visitors, strangers, vet visits, firework seasons, new or unpredictable situations). This is a particularly good product to consider if you are getting a new puppy as it can help your new puppy settle quickly into its new home.
Felifriend
Felifriend is a product which helps you to gain a cat's trust and confidence when they are meeting you for the first time. It is a fraction of the feline facial pheromone which cats use when they brush their cheeks against objects and people. It helps them to feel more relaxed and at ease. This product is good if you are involved in cat rescue or similar activities since it can help you "make friends" with cats much more easily. It is also worth considering using this product when you meet your new kitten or adult cat for the first time.
Dental Care and Oral Hygiene
It is really important to pay attention to your pet's teeth and gums. Animals cannot brush their teeth so they tend to suffer from poor oral health. We can help them by using products which help to reduce the formation of plaque, tartar and stains on their teeth. Brushing your pet's teeth is ideal, if you can do it....... if not choose something such as Logic Oral Hygeine Gel or Logic Orozyme Chews which will help to control bacteria in the mouth and reduce dental plaque.
Dietary Supplements
"Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food" said Hippocrates the "Father of Medicine". This is something we at Vetgb firmly believe in. We can help our animals a great deal by giving them the correct diet to keep them in good health and supplementing that diet wisely when they have a problem. In this section there are a range of dietary supplements to help keep your pet healthy and happy.

Herbal Medicines and Supplements
Many people use herbal remedies and they can be just as effective for our pets too. These herbal supplements and medicines tend to be most effective where there is chronic disease; conditions such as eczema, arthritis, urinary problems and constipation often respond very well. These products can be used together with conventional veterinary medicines with little likelihood of adverse reactions. Do consult your vet if your pet is unwell since these medicines should not be used as a substitute for veterinary care. We have sourced high quality herbal medicines and dietary supplements for your animals so take a look through this section to see if there is anything here for you.
Homeopathic Remedies
Homeopathic remedies are generally considered to be gentle and safe. They may be used in conjunction with other treatments such as herbal remedies or acupuncture. Correct administration of homeopathic remedies: Homeopathic remedies are easily given to animals, and ideally at least 15 minutes away from the consumption of food or drink. Hold the vial upside down and twist the lid to allow one tablet to drop into the clear cap. Open the animal's mouth and drop the tablet directly into the mouth where it will dissolve quickly. Do not touch the tablet with your fingers since the natural oils on your skin may damage these delicate remedies, although there will be no harm to either you or your pet if this occurs by mistake. It is simply that the remedy may not be so effective. Animals are always given the same amount of homeopathic remedy regardless of their size or weight. However in more acute conditions you would need to give the remedy more frequently than in chronic cases.
Laxatives and Hairball Control
Cats often suffer from hairballs, especially if they have long hair or during moulting. Signs include retching and vomiting up hair balls. Remember that cats may vomit for other reasons too. If you have any concerns about your cat's health you should seek veterinary attention.

Giving a pet medicines can be stressful for all concerned! A few simple tools and techniques commonly used in veterinary practices can make the job a lot easier for everyone.

It is a real convenience to have a cat flap so that your cat does not need to disturb you when he or she needs to go out. It is a good idea to get a flap which will only open for your own cat; this means that your cat will feel safe and secure once inside!
Pet Food
Nutrition is an extremely important factor to consider when you think about how to keep your pet happy and healthy. If you feed your pet a good quality, balanced and wholesome diet you can help your pet to stay healthy and active at any stage of life.
Rabbit Diets and Foods
Rabbits need to eat a well balanced diet to prevent problems occuring, particularly with their teeth. Feed a well balanced diet with plenty of green stuff and hay. Rabbits should also have time out in the garden so that they can benefit from being outside in the sunshine and foraging for fresh food. If your rabbit is picky with food and just eats the bits he or she likes and leaves the rest it is possible that he or she is missing valuable ingredients. If this is relevant to your rabbit it may be best to feed a pelleted food so that your rabbit will not miss out on vital nutrients.
Dog Diets and Foods
Dogs usually have a hearty appetite but some may be quite choosy about what they will eat. It is best to choose a good quality diet right from the start. If your pet does not eat at one meal time don't be tempted to change the food- many dogs will happily take a rest from eating at one meal and then make up for it later! Try not to change the food frequently since this may lead to tummy upsets. If you do need to introduce a new food do it slowly- adding a small amount to the usual diet initially, and gradually increasing the amounts over several days until the new food is being well accepted.
Cat Diets and Foods
Cats can be very discerning when it comes to food. Some cats are happy to eat almost anything, while others are much more picky and may go hungry rather than eat something which is unfamiliar or a food they do not like. It is a good idea to get your cat on to a good diet right from the start. Try not to change the food frequently since this may lead to tummy upsets. If you do need to introduce a new food do it slowly- adding a small amount to the usual diet initially, and gradually increasing the amounts over several days until the new food is being well accepted.
