Welcoming a new kitten into the family is exciting. So let's get our teeth into how to prepare.

Welcoming a new kitten into the family is extremely exciting for all involved and we are here to help you in your exciting new journey. Your kitten checklist: A new cat bed Kittens will change where they sleep quite frequently so you may need more than one

When you get a kitten, there's always so much to think about. Making sure they're on KatKin (build your trial box here), providing them with the best toys you can find, picking a name that strikes the balance of funny but also meaningful

Want to know how we formulate our recipes to be 100% best for carnivore cats? Or why you can be sure we're complete and balanced? Let's find out with our in-house vet nutrition team.

Understanding a fussy cat can be a frustrating process on many levels, especially when it comes to feeding time.

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukaemia Virus (FELV) are two of the major viruses affecting cats around the world, and all too often they tend to be surrounded with a haze of fear and misunderstanding. While they are two distinct processes, they are sometimes grouped together because of their many similarities

Previously we looked at two feline viruses which are encountered fairly commonly in veterinary practice, FIV and FELV. Today I want to focus on another virus, which is seen fortunately a little less frequently but also has very serious implications, Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)

Today’s topic is not for the faint hearted! Cat bite abscesses are a squeamish subject, but one which many cat owners have been challenged with. Unfortunately, these rather iffy injuries occur quite commonly in our feline friends – especially in those that roam outdoors and those that are unsterilized, as these factors predispose them to fighting

If you’ve ever stood in the supermarket pet food aisle (bizarrely always next to the detergent aisle) and felt overwhelmed and baffled, you’re not alone. The cat food industry is full of so many competing claims, tricks, and carefully worded labels, it can be difficult to understand what’s really in your cat’s food

Easter beckons with its four day weekend and promise of better weather on its way. But, did you know that this, the most egg-filled holiday, comes with some pitfalls for your cat you might not be aware of? Luckily, we’ve outlined them for you, so you can make sure your Easter is cat friendly, and finally embrace what you’ve given up for Lent (unless it happens to be on the list below)

Did you know that your cat needs taurine to have a balanced and complete diet? If you answered ‘no’, is it because you aren’t sure what taurine is? If you answered ‘yes’ to the second question, then don’t worry - we’re here to help with our Total Tour of Taurine. What is taurine? Simply put, taurine is an essential amino acid which plays a crucial role in vision, myocardial (heart) function, reproduction and to help maintain a healthy immune system

When it comes to training pets, dogs have always pushed their wet noses to the forefront and taken the spotlight. And understandably so - with hundreds of years of selective breeding behind them, retrievers want nothing more than to fetch; scent hounds sniff out anything from illegal drugs to the forgotten toffee wrapper in your pocket; and terriers are pretty much frantic at any chance to chase a rat (or make a friend/go for a walk/dig a hole/get dirty etc forever!)
