If the sleeping arrangements work well right now then I would probably stay with what works. If you decide to switch, and it doesn’t work out well you can always go Back to a crate at night, but it will probably take several night of retraining. I am a Tim believer in staying with what works! Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Yes, you can use an unscented sanitary pad in a doggie diaper. You may ask your veterinarian if changing medications may help to urine leakage. There are a couple products (incurin and Proin) that tend to work well but with the heart enlargement and arrhythmia, your vet will need to decide if these medications are worthwhile. You may also look for a water proof cover to keep over the bed to at least decrease the mess. Make sure to have Vivi's urine checked regularly for bladder infections because she is more prone to them. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

My concern is more that he growled at you when you tried to get him off the bed. Some dogs begin to feel they are our equals when they are on our level, such as on the couch or in the bed. If he is becoming “bossy” or obstinate, then I would recommend keeping him off the bed. Also, if you need to get him off the bed then entice with a treat, or have a leash on. Do not grab or pull his collar as the growl may escalate to a bite. If the crate worked well then I recommend going back to it. Good luck, and thanks for using Pet Coach.

Hi, in terms of cat furniture don’t worry cats don’t need anything particularly fancy. They enjoy sitting on a shelf as in the picture and look outside the window. You would add some cardboard boxes that can also work as cratching posts and a couple of pillow on the bookshelf. I think the feeding area would better be moved, because being right in front of the windows is exposed, they can see/be seen and could spot something that might upset them. It is also advisable to keep feeding areas away from their litter tray and perhaps moving it would help increasing this distance. Are there only two cats in the room ? If so also consider the number of litter trays. I mo not sure how many you have at present, and if things work out well I probably would suggest not to change them. You can find lots of ideas in building/creating cat furniture from ikea furniture if you fancy a change in the future. Also cats will need to be active and interact with you so make sure you consider this in your rou
