20.01.2022 I’m excited, I've signed up to PAWGUST to raise funds for the Guide Dogs. The idea is that this August you and your dog walk for 30 minutes a day for 30 days as a fund raiser. As a dog walker without my own dog, I've enlisted the help of all my furry friends that I walk or take to the park each day. We are aiming to walk 250kms in August and Balmoral Pet Services will donate $1 per km. I'm passionate about supporting Guide Dogs as they give the gift of independence to peo...ple with low vision or blindness. If you would like to make a donation to this very worthy cause, we would be very grateful https://www.pawgust.com.au/fundraisers/BalmoralPetServices Or you might like to sign up to the challenge with your dog: https://www.pawgust.com.au/

19.01.2022 This handsome pair are always so pleased to see each other. They enjoy walking to the park together as there are always interesting things to smell and look at (like a cat!). At the park they have a great time chasing each other, chasing the ball and exploring.

15.01.2022 It's the end of the first week of Pawgust and between all my 4 legged furry helpers we have walked 61kms, with the goal of 250kms looking achievable at this stage. Daisy contributed 5kms while walking to the park, racing around in the park and walking home again. Go Daisy!

08.01.2022 Have you ever wondered why your dog eats grass? I’m a dog walker and some of the dogs I walk eat grass on every walk, while others never do, so I decided to find out why. Years ago I was told that if they eat something that makes them feel sick, or if they feel unwell, they will eat grass to induce vomiting which makes them feel better. But this is only true of a few dogs as 80% of the dogs I walk eat grass and only about one-quarter vomit afterwards. So I tried to find... the facts behind why dogs eat grass. What I discovered is there are a number of theories: They are omnivores they eat meat and plant-based food so instinctively include plants in their diet They like the taste or texture they just enjoy the taste of grass To cause vomiting despite a lack of evidence that eating grass is a treatment for a sick dog, it seems that dogs do eat grass to relieve themselves of an upset tummy. The grass is usually eaten quickly, without being chewed much and tickles their throat and stomach lining which results in vomiting They need more fibre grass contains fibre which may be missing from their diet They are bored if they eat grass when locked up in the yard on their own it could be a distraction Eating grass isn’t necessarily a problem unless it’s happening all the time. Be aware that herbicides and pesticides sprayed on the grass may be toxic to the dog.

01.01.2022 He tries his best to keep up with his long-legged friends, but sometimes he just needs a lift.
