24.01.2022 Mine is Lady Charlotte Ann Nuggets of Costco what's yours?

22.01.2022 Please keep an eye out for this little one.

21.01.2022 NSW Health announced that lockdown is to be extended to 28/08/21. The Aussie Pooch Mobile support office have been hard at work to get government clarification as to whether we can or can’t work. It is still quite a grey area as to what is and isn’t explicitly essential. However, we have been advised that if we operate as a strictly contactless service, we can recommence our mobile dog grooming work if we choose too but that we remain strictly within the local government area... that we also reside in and no further than 5km from home. This unfortunately reduces the area we service significantly. However we have made the hard decision to remain closed until at least the 15/08/21, we will then reassess our position. It isn’t a decision we have taken lightly, but we want to keep our family and yours safe. At this stage the number of daily covid cases is just too high for us to feel comfortable being out and about as an average work day has us visit 8-12 different houses a day each. The Premier is pleading with Sydney siders to limit their mobility so we will remain in lockdown for now. We will contact all affected customers. Apologies again for the inconvenience, it is a difficult situation that we are all in together. We look forward to seeing you all when everything settles down, until then, please stay safe.

20.01.2022 Unfortunately with the latest restrictions coming in to place that greater Sydney will continue to be in lockdown until the end of September Aussie pooch Blacktown will be remaining closed until given the go ahead from the government that it is safe for us to return to work. In the mean time any one that has dogs in need of desperate clipping due to any matting please speak with your local vet as they may be able to assist you in this time. We are very sorry this is happening to all of us but we are in this together and can not wait to see you all when we are able to get back on the road. Thank you for continuing to support small business. Aussie Pooch Blacktown Team

18.01.2022 Great news, we are finally operating again. Our team are currently working through our regular client base, catching up on everyone that has waited ever so patiently for our return. Due to very strict covid guidelines we will be operating as contactless as possible and ask that while we are working that you please not come to our trailers, this is to stay in line with social distancing protocols. ... We would also like to let you know that the team of Aussie Pooch Blacktown are fully vaccinated and have all of our current working permits for those of you that would like to know but may not want to ask. For any new clients wishing to book an appointment please bear in mind we have a 9 week back log to reschedule of current clients so there is a wait time for new appointments. Thank you again for supporting small business and we look forward to seeing you all again in the coming weeks. From Aussie Pooch Blacktown Team

18.01.2022 Hi Everyone, Due to the recent changes with Covid restrictions we will be temporarily closing. We do apologise for any inconvenience this has caused and will continue to cause in the short term.... We will return as soon as we are able but in the meantime we would like to thank you for your continued support for our small business. We can't wait to see you all again as I am sure our 4 legged clients will be eagerly awaiting their Aussie pooch treats.

11.01.2022 Unfortunately in the past two weeks we have seen two confirmed cases of canine parvovirus from the Blacktown area. Parvo is a highly contagious virus that affe...cts puppies and dogs that are unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated. The common symptoms of parvo are: Lethargy Anorexia Vomiting Severe, bloody diarrhoea Fever Weight loss Weakness Depression Dehydration Because parvo is a virus, there is no real cure for it. Treatment is focused on managing the symptoms and preventing secondary bacterial infections. Intensive therapy in hospital provides the best chance for recovery. Parvo is preventable through vaccination. Puppies should receive vaccinations from 6-8 weeks, then boosters at 10-12 weeks, 14-16 weeks and then yearly. #westblacktownvet #vetclinic #parvovirus #parvokills #vaccinateyourdogs

08.01.2022 As many households prepare their gardens for spring, we have noticed a significant increase in calls to the Animal Poisons Helpline regarding fertiliser ingesti...on. Fertilisers are available in a diverse range of formulations. Inorganic fertilisers tend to contain varying but generally high quantities of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium; as well as trace elements which are tailored to suit specific purposes. Whilst a small lick or taste is unlikely to cause significant poisoning, large ingestions can potentially result in severe effects. Organic fertilisers contain lower concentrations of these minerals. They are often made of different types of manures, blood, bone and other meals and as such are highly attractive to dogs. If dogs are allowed access to organic fertiliser packaging, it is not unusual for them to ingest very large quantities. Ingestion of organic fertilisers can result in severe gastroenteritis, possibly pancreatitis and gastrointestinal obstruction. As you prepare your garden for the warmer months ahead, take a moment to consider your pets: Never allow pets access to fertiliser containers or packaging. Keep in mind that dogs find organic fertilisers highly appetizing and will readily chew through packaging, so they need to be stored out of reach. Apply fertiliser as per the manufacturer’s recommendations (do not use excessive amounts) Water in fertiliser after application where possible - this is especially true for areas with chickens since they are very effective at picking up granules that have dropped to lower soil areas Avoid using organic fertiliser around spring bulbs (dogs will dig up the organic fertiliser and will often find these bulbs and eat them!) If you think your pet has ingested fertiliser, call us on 1300 869 738 (AU) or 0800 869 738 (NZ) for a tailored risk assessment and recommendation, including first aid measures. Our service is free for all pet owners and has assisted over 5,000 accidentally poisoned pets so far this year. You can save a pet’s life by keeping this critical service free.

06.01.2022 Have you seen this plant? Araujia sericifera, otherwise known as the Moth Vine, Moth Plant, False Choke or Cruel Vine is a common and widely distributed intr...oduced perennial weed found throughout Australia and the north island of New Zealand. The Moth Vine is currently fruiting and will continue to do so until mid-winter. The leaves, stems, fruit and possibly seeds contain toxins which affect the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. It is reported that some variants may also contain toxins that affect the heart. When damaged, an irritating milky sap leaks from the plant. Horses, cattle, and birds have been poisoned by the Moth Vine and there are anecdotal reports of small animals such as dogs being affected after eating the plant. Symptoms of poisoning may include vomiting (in animals that can vomit), diarrhoea, refusal to eat, unsteadiness on the feet and potentially seizures. If you see this plant in an area accessible to your pet, it is best removed. If your pet has ingested any part of the Moth Vine, please phone the Animal Poisons Helpline on 1300 869 738 (AU) or 0800 869 738 (NZ) for advice.

04.01.2022 THE MOST DANGEROUS PET CHEW EVER: RAWHIDE! The skins of brutally slaughtered dogs in Thailand are mixed with other bits of skin to produce rawhide chew ...toys for pet dogs How can one of the most popular chew sticks on the planet be so dangerous for your pets, you ask? I mean, most dogs chew on rawhide for hours on end, and not only does it keep them busy, but they seem to last forever. Well if you understood what it took to make this toxic raw leather stick, you would quickly understand what the problem is. Aside from the horror stories circulating all over social media these days, of pets needing emergency surgery after consuming rawhide, the majority of pet parents today, especially the newbies, believe that this chew is some sort of dried up meat stick. Let me debunk that myth right away! A rawhide stick is not the by-product of the beef industry nor is it made of dehydrated meat. Rather, rawhide is the by-product of the Leather Industry, so theoretically it is a leather chew. Sounds awesome, right? Producing rawhide begins with the splitting of an animal hide, usually from cattle. The top grain is generally tanned and made into leather products, while the inner portion, in its raw state, goes to the dogs. TheBark.com So, how does this leather, which is conveniently rolled up into pretty shapes, actually get made into those rawhide chews? Follow along my friends and I will enlighten you on how this hide travels through a leathery process where it transforms from hide to a not-so beautiful, colorful, chew stick. Here is a paraphrased tutorial that was explained by the whole dog journal several years back: STEP 1: Normally, cattle hides are shipped from slaughterhouses to tanneries for processing. These hides are then treated with a chemical bath to help preserve the product during transport to help prevent spoilage. (No one wants to purchase a black, spoiled rawhide stick!) Once at the tannery: the hides are soaked and treated with either an ash-lye solution or a highly toxic recipe of sodium sulphide liming. This process will help strip the hair and fat that maybe attached to the hides themselves. (No, no one wants to see a hairy hide) Next on this glorious journey, these hides are then treated with chemicals that help puff the hide, making it easier to split into layers. The outer layer of the hide is used for goods like car seats, clothing, shoes, purses, etc. But, it’s the inner layer that is needed to make the rawhide. (Oh and other things like gelatin, cosmetics, and glue as well!) STEP 2: Now that we have the inner layer of the hide, it’s time to go to the post-tannery stage! Hides are washed and whitened using a solution of hydrogen peroxide and/or bleach; this will also help remove the smell of the rotten or putrid leather. Bonus! (Research also shows that other chemicals maybe used here to help the whitening process if the bleach isn’t strong enough.) STEP 3: Now it’s time to make these whitened sheets of this leathery by-product look delicious! So, here is where the artistic painting process comes in. Basted, smoked, and decoratively tinted products might be any color (or odor) underneath the coating of (often artificial) dyes and flavors. They can even be painted with a coating of titanium oxide to make them appear white and pretty on the pet store shelves. - whole-dog-journal.com the Material Safety Data Sheet reveals a toxic confection containing the carcinogen FD&C Red 40, along with preservatives like sodium benzoate. But tracking the effects of chemical exposure is nearly impossible when it’s a matter of slow, low-dose poisoning. thebark.com Ok, now that these hides have been painted, it’s time for the final process. STEP 4: Getting it to last forever! Because the FDA does not consider these chews to be food, really it’s a free for all when it comes to the manufacturers of these leather strips, and the products they may want to add to these chews, to get them to last forever. Any sort of glue can be added here to get these bad boys to never come apart. When tested: Lead, arsenic, mercury, chromium salts, formaldehyde, and other toxic chemicals have been detected in raw hides. So it’s safe to say that any sort of glues can be used as well! Finally, it’s time to package and attach all the glorious marketing labels to the product. Check out the fine print warning that’s attached with some of these rawhides: Choking or blockages. If your dog swallows large pieces of rawhide, the rawhide can get stuck in the esophagus or other parts of the digestive tract. Sometimes, abdominal surgery is needed to remove them from the stomach or intestines. If it isn’t resolved, a blockage can lead to death. (Oh, how lovely) And there it is! It’s now ready to be shipped to store shelves where it can be purchased for our loving animal companions. How do proactive veterinarians feel about these chews? Here is world-renowned veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker's take on the matter: The name ‘rawhide’ is technically incorrect. A more accurate name would be processed-hide, because the skin isn’t raw at all. But the term rawhide has stuck. Rawhide chews start out hard, but as your dog works the chew it becomes softer, and eventually he can unknot the knots on each end and the chew takes on the consistency of a slimy piece of taffy or bubble gum. And by that time your dog cannot stop working it -- it becomes almost addictive. At this point, there’s no longer any dental benefit to the chew because it has turned soft and gooey, and, in fact, it has become a choking and intestinal obstruction hazard. P.S. Ready for the jaw dropper? An investigation by Humane Society International stated in their report, In a particularly grisly twist, the skins of brutally slaughtered dogs in Thailand are mixed with other bits of skin to produce rawhide chew toys for pet dogs. Manufacturers told investigators that these chew toys are regularly exported to and sold in U.S. stores. dogingtonpost.com Story credit: Rodney Habib Pet Health Media "An educated, informed and well-researched community of pet owners can only put more pressure on the pet food industry to be better!
