21.01.2022 Hello All, Welcome to Fetch Pet Care. I have decided to offer a pet minding service over the busy summer holiday period ... After speaking with the lovely Carly from In Great Hands Pet Minding, I realised that I could definitely help out families in need of a break but unable to take their animals with them. I have seen first hand with my own animals and in clinic, owners going on holidays and how stressful it can be leaving pet's behind, so I hope I can help take the stress out of it for you. A bit about me: Throughout the year I work in the Animal Care section at TAFE as a Teacher. I absolutely love my job and love educating aspiring animal care students and am very passionate about the animal care industry. I've been a Veterinary Nurse for 10 years ( time flies right) so I have plenty of experience with all animals, big and small. While I normally spend my TAFE Christmas holidays ( 8 weeks) traveling away and locuming at awesome Vet Clinics, meeting new people and keeping my skills current, I’ve decided since I have just purchased my first home, I want to stay here and enjoy it this summer! If you or someone you know would be interested in an at-home pet minding service, where I come to your home, play with your animals where they are most comfortable ( twice a day), feed and check on your place for you while you are away, then I would love to hear from you Bookings are already coming in but my current availability is from 14th December - 30th January. Emma

11.01.2022 The twelve pet hazards of Christmas We'd like to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy this silly season so here's a list of twelve potential pet hazards you need to watch out for this Christmas: 1. Christmas dinner and leftovers are too rich for our pets and can cause nasty tummy upsets and even pancreatitis. Stick to 'pet approved' treats. 2. Macadamia nuts are popular at Christmas and can be toxic for dogs leading to muscle weakness, vomiting and tremors. 3. Sultanas... and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. 4. BBQ skewers can be catastrophic for pets so take care to ensure your pet doesn't accidentally ingest a skewer (which falls on the ground for example) and never feed your pet cooked bones - both can lead to the need for emergency intestinal surgery. 5. Chocolate - dogs can't metabolise the theobromine in chocolate and ingestion can lead to an increased heart rate, tremors, seizures and even death. The darker the chocolate the more toxic and the size of the dog and amount ingested also plays a part in the severity of the symptoms. 6. Decorations such as tinsel and fairy lights are very attractive to pets but can lead to a gastric obstruction if eaten. 7. Ribbons from presents are super attractive to cats and if ingested can lead to a nasty gastric obstruction requiring emergency surgery. 8. The Christmas tree might be an attractive indoor 'pee tree' but can also be a falling hazard. 9. Lots of guests can cause your pet to become stressed and even lead to them trying to escape - make sure they have a safe and quiet place to retreat to. 10. Christmas lilies can cause kidney failure in cats. The stamen, leaves and stems are all potentially toxic as is the water they are stored in so it's best not to have them in the first place. 11. Snakes are out and about and will be all summer so take care in long grass, around water or areas where there are rodents (grain sheds and chicken pens are common places.) 12. Heatstroke - never leave your pet in the car during the warmer weather, even on a mild day the temperature inside a car can reach dangerous levels in minutes. Leaving a window down will not help either so don't risk it! If you have any questions about the health and safety of your pet, we are always here to put your mind at ease. Please ask us if you need any advice or information. See more

02.01.2022 Christmas is a risky time for your pet. There is lots of food around, people, parties and changes in routine - so you may not be able to keep an eye on your pet as much as usual. To help keep your pet safe this festive season, here are a few things to keep at the front of your mind: Dinner time can be dangerous! Keep all human and party food away from your pet - leftovers are notorious for causing upset tummies and episodes of pancreatitis. Don’t forget that chocolate, grapes..., raisins and sultanas are all poisonous to dogs. Never feed your pet cooked bones and if you are having a BBQ, watch out for meat skewers that are very attractive to our pets but extremely dangerous if ingested. Keep your paws off! Don't leave edible gifts (such as a box of chocolates) under the tree as you may have a furry friend who chooses to unwrap and consume them! Keep cats away from the sweet-smelling Christmas lilies - as ingestion of any part of these plants can lead to acute kidney failure. Christmas decorations are better left alone Secure your Christmas tree so it doesn't tip or fall, especially if your cat enjoys climbing! Cats are also attracted to tinsel, string and sparkly decorations but if swallowed, these can cause a gastrointestinal obstruction. Festive fireworks and summer storms can be scary As a minimum, if you know fireworks are scheduled or there’s a storm on the way, plan ahead. Keep your dog indoors with a television or radio turned up. Make sure all windows are closed and all exits are secure and if possible have a family member stay with your dog for security. If you are concerned about your dog's anxiety, come and speak to us as we will be able to offer you more advice and information. See more
