25.01.2022 So you can not walk your dog for 6 days, we have had a few messages and phone calls from people in distress about not being able to walk their dogs, I am going ...to try and share some enrichment ideas, share yours too! Jennifer xx Ps thanks Sam C for sending me resources too You may have heard of nosework, but may not know exactly what it is. Scent games (often called nosework) are a great enrichment for dogs. Dogs are experts at sniffing out objects, and practicing these skills gives them an outlet for these natural abilities - and it can be lots of fun for the humans too. As they are engaging all their senses it is also a great way to give them mental exercise while we can’t get them out and about for physical exercise. https://moderndogmagazine.com//8-fun-scent-games-you/80052 You’ll be amazed how good they are at tracking your scent, even indoors. With the right food or toy rewards, playing hide and seek with your dog is also an opportunity to reinforce their recall. This is a great video about why your dog’s sense of smell is critical in how they make sense (no pun intended) of the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7fXa2Occ_U&t=144s

21.01.2022 WARNING!!! DO NOT GIVE THESE SO-CALLED "TREATS" TO YOUR DOGS!!! THEY CAN POTENTIALLY KILL THEM!! Just a little warning regarding the Xmas treats many stor...es are now starting to stock for dogs at Xmas. Many of these so called treats end up with the dog "enjoying" some time in a veterinary surgery over Christmas. The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China. The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulphide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell. Now comes the pretty festive colours and the glue to form cute shapes. On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde. If that wasn't bad enough, they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking. The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog. Leave them in the shop where they belong or if some well meaning person buys them for your dog put them safely away for later, then dispatch in the bin! Please be safe with your dogs!

20.01.2022 At this time of year, we are frequently contacted about echidna sightings. Please note that it is normal to see echidna out and about searching for food, which ...can include crossing roads. Please be alert when you drive and keep an eye out for wildlife, especially at dusk and dawn. You can read more about what to do if you come across an echidna here: https://www.wires.org.au/wildli/wildlife-education/echidna

15.01.2022 Please do not release your balloons into the air they end up in the ocean# save the sea turtles! And I'm sick of picking up your balloons

13.01.2022 Peak duckling season . Until the chicks can fly their parents will walk them where they need to go. Wherever possible try to leave them be so that parents and ducklings are not separated. Have a look through our quick tips!

11.01.2022 From midnight tonight, South Australians will pause and create a 6 day circuit breaker that will enable us to get ahead of the Parafield Cluster. This means al...l non-essential workers must stay home and only leave for groceries and medical supplies. Our decision to go hard and go early is based on the advice of our world class health team. I know the restrictions we have put in place will be challenging for many South Australians, but the alternative is the virus escapes into the wider community forcing an even longer lockdown. I urge people to be kind and respectful to one another during this time. Click through the images to see what's open and what's closed. Thank you for working together with us - we WILL get through this.

06.01.2022 Sharing the road with horses. Be respectful and courteous!

04.01.2022 At this time in South Australia it is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended to wear a mask when out in public and you can’t physically distance (1.5m fr...om others). Please note: children under 12 years of age do not need to wear a mask, as they may not be able to handle it safely. The term ‘face mask or mask’ includes reusable cloth masks, and single-use face masks (commonly called surgical masks). At this time, ‘fitted’ face coverings, such as bandanas, scarves, or neck gaiters can be used if you are unable to find a cloth mask, or single-use surgical face mask. Face masks that have unfiltered one-way valves should not be used. Important things to remember about wearing masks: 1 Once your mask is on, it is important that you don’t touch or adjust the front of it while wearing it it’s the part that’s protecting you from COVID-19. If you do touch it by accident, wash or sanitise your hands right away. 2 Before putting your mask on and after taking it off, remember to thoroughly wash and dry (or sanitise) your hands.

03.01.2022 We will still open but routine procedures will be done when lockdown finishes. Take care.
