23.01.2022 ATTN ALL DOG OWNERS!! Have you recently brought home a puppy? Have you just rescued a dog? Has your already established family dog who is usually okay wit...h being alone but has become accustom to you being around all the time? OR Do you know someone who fits one of the above descriptions? NOW is the time to start investing in your dogs ‘happiness’ towards being left alone. Separation anxiety can be debilitating and can be the cause of behavioural issues such as; excessive barking, chewing and destroying furniture, uncontrollable bowel movements, going to dangerous lengths to escape the house/backyard. In the next couple of weeks/months life is going to slowly start resuming to normal. This means your beloved pet is going to have to handle longer periods of time at home by them selves. HELP THEM FEEL OKAY ABOUT THIS! This article may be geared towards puppy owners but the training advice is relevant to everyone with dogs. It’s worth 3 minutes of your time to read over to help your dog feel better long term. https://static1.squarespace.com//Preventing+Separation+Dis Article by the amazing Libby Young at https://www.facebook.com/The-Sound-Hound-Dog-Behaviour-Training-251519548226135/?eid=ARBpsf1jKhf8D5Jgz5eMd5K9PGI82N86fZqvDw8--Q8snGMlrv2W-jCoPhqLpgFNYm-Fup0ZYNDz_qC6&timeline_context_item_type=intro_card_work&timeline_context_item_source=607539354&fref=tag

19.01.2022 DON'T FEED YOUR DOG XMAS HAM The Animal Referral & Emergency Centre has a timely reminder to all pet owners - DO NOT give your pet dog or cat any of your Chri...stmas ham. "Christmas ham and ham bones are a huge no no. The fat and salt content of this delicious Christmas treat will wreak havoc on the gastrointestinal system of our beloved fury family members," they said. "Christmas ham isn’t the only culprit that can cause our pets illness over the festive season. "Often our pets will have increased access to chocolate, grapes, nuts and fruit cake, which are all capable of causing serious and sometimes life threatening illness." This poor dog picture is Gordie - last year he ate an ENTIRE 2.2KG Christmas ham. His owners brought him into the vet for help. Animal Referral & Emergency Centre.

16.01.2022 Really helpful to know that anything above 26degrees is potentially too hot for play! Keep in mind doggos don’t sweat like us

16.01.2022 HOW MUCH FOR A PUPPY? Let me say a few words to you, yes you, the person who writes an email to simply ask the price. The person who calls and after hearing a price surprisedly states: I can buy a cheaper pup elsewhere. I also address you; the person who doesn’t care about papers because I want just a pet. No dog is just a pet....Continue reading

08.01.2022 Why collars and tags should not be left on dogs when you are not around.

07.01.2022 This is something everyone should see. When you get your 8/10 week old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod a...round so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet. When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in. But when you're letting puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint. You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one. Once grown you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once. A bit of back-story: This is a baby puppy who had a knock to his elbow and wasn't using it properly, so he was taken to the vet. There is nothing wrong in these x-rays, thankfully it is a soft tissue injury and he is expected to be fine.

04.01.2022 & Edible bones are bones that are intended to be eaten entirely unlike big marrow bones, Edible bones are intended to... be part of the dogs diet not additional to it. Big marrow bones are weight bearing bones of large animals that are generally advised to be avoided as they can wear down teeth, chip teeth etc. If you are feeding your dog a fresh food diet then bones are essential for the calcium component of their diet, if you are unable to offer bones you must offer calcium in another form, this may be via supplementation under the guidance of your vet, egg shell powder in adult dogs or crushed bone in what is called "pet mince". When you choose the type of bones you give your dog you will need to take into account their personality when it comes to eating i.e. if they're a gulper, eat too fast etc. then you wouldn't give them bones that would be considered small for their size. Supervision is an important aspect of feeding bones. To slow dogs down eating bones the dog needs to feel safe, that means you and anyone in your house hasn't fussed with them when they have eaten before to the point that they eat fast to try and eat before you take something away from them - if you have fussed with your dog then feed them away from you with a closed door so they don't have to worry about you. Children should have NO access to dogs when eating if they're not able to understand their own safety and the respect a dog requires. They should be fed away from other dogs to the point the other dog cannot access them. Bones can be seen as high value to dogs and therefore they may get defensive with other dogs in their area. Frozen bones for dogs with good digestive systems can be a good way to slow down dogs and something nice and cool on a warm day. Edible bones are given as an entire meal or part of a meal therefore a dog shouldn't bury the bone, if they do, they're not hungry enough for it and you may need to re-evaluate how much they get fed. If your dog mainly gets kibble then their ability to break down bones well may be affected as their pH is not quite at the level needed, however, you can help your dog by including Apple Cider Vinegar in small amounts plus a pro-biotics (such as our own Gut Dust available at our website) in their meals to help their digestive system try and function at a higher level. Different types of edible bones that you can consider depending on the size and personality of your dog may include but not limited to: Chicken Frames Chicken Necks Chicken Feet Chicken Wings Turkey Wings Turkey Necks Duck Necks Duck Frames Duck Feet Beef & Lamb Brisket Whole Fish Rabbit Frames Pig Tails Bones such as lamb necks and roo tails can be very dense and may require a high functioning digestive system to manage i.e. a raw fed dog. These dense bones may also carry a risk of wearing down teeth and chipping teeth. Ribs may be too brittle and splinter and shouldn't be fed as singular ribs, always choose a rack that has at least 3. Never feed cooked bones. If you're feeding dehydrated bones, just stick to the likes of commercially dried chicken feet and necks, anything bigger could be problematic in terms of splintering. Avoid machine cut bones i.e. soup bones, these have very sharp edges. Drumsticks can splinter when broken because they are so dense.
