For your training, grooming and minding needs! I love Dogs! They bring so much joy to us! I am an experienced and qualified Veterinary Nurse and Dog Trainer.
(1)
I'd love to help you improve trust and respect with your dog. I use calm, kind
and common sense training techniques. I would also like to provide for your dogs grooming needs like basic tidy up clips,
bathing, nails and gland expression using a kind and calm manner.
In loving memory of this beautiful boy!
He had my heart the moment I first met him! My favourite Frenchie! Such a special boy with a gorgeous nature and super cute to boot!
He would come up to you and waggle his bum happily wanting a pat.
Rest in peace little Pabby 🐾😢🐾💕🐾🙏
Please keep my friends in prayer as they grieve the loss of this much loved family member.
https://rescues4pets.com.au/blog/the-sad-reality-of-homeless-dogs-in-australia/ #:~:text=Every%20year%2C%20thousands%20of%20dogs,a%20place%20to%20call%20home.
There is such a problem in Australia of unwanted cats and dogs sitting in pounds and shelters…sadly ALOT will never get a home and will be euthanased.
There is an increasing number of people starting to breed their dogs as an income. Please please reconsider this and find another way to make a living. We really do NOT need more puppies and kittens in this country.
The gruesome reality is at the end of a lethabarb needle…having worked as a vet nurse for many years I’ve witnessed many euthanasias. Nothing would be sadder to be performing or assisting in a euthanasia of a PERFECTLY HEALTHY dog or cat because there is no one to care for them. Please think twice!
Yes it’s not a popular opinion and I have friends who do breed animals. I’m sorry it’s not a personal attack on them but it is something that I want to create awareness about and I’m becoming more passionate about.
Let’s get the awareness out there!
Every year, thousands of dogs from all over the world are put into shelters or left without a home. In Australia alone, there are an estimated 80,000 homeless dogs and puppies that need a loving family to take them in. It is a heartbreaking reality that many of these animals will never find a place....
Great advice coming into New Years Eve!
Make sure your pets are appropriately provided for during parties and fireworks.
🐶🐾 An important message from Alfie coming to New Year’s celebrations:
“As everyone celebrates New Year’s with parties and fireworks, it can be a popular time for our pets to try and escape. My tips to ensure your loved ones come home safely are:
⭐️ Ensure any gaps or weak spots in fencing are repaired, or bring your pets inside if you can
⭐️ Ensure your contact details are up to date with your local council and NSW Pet Registry
⭐️ Keep an ID tag on their collar with your contact details
⭐️Chat to your vet if you’re having trouble with their stress levels during noisy occasions, events or storms. We have a wide range of options to help treat and manage stress!”
As always, we are here through the New Years period for all of your pet care needs (excluding Sundays and public holidays). Bring on 2024! 🎉
Remember to PAMPER your PAWS!
This time of year the road and pathways get extremely hot and can cause burns to your dog’s pads.
Take walks early morning and later evening to avoid the heat of the day.
Walk on grass where you can and feel the temperature of the path you’re walking on to ensure it’s safe for your pups paws.
Always have fresh clean water in abundance available for your pets at this time of year and good shade or access to indoors.
Stay cool and collected as we go into this silly season.

This is a very sad story with an incredibly sweet ending! 💕🐾
Ticks are out and about already!
Be vigilant with prevention and check your pets regularly 🐾
Remember to be vigilant with tick prevention as more and more cases are being seen year round not just in hotter months. We do it best we love our dogs!
We have seen a number of paralysis tick cases this past week and Spring has not even sprung yet!!
Please make sure your pets are fully up to date with their tick prevention.
Check your pets over daily focussing on the head / neck and face area but remember ticks can be located anywhere on the body.
Ticks are no longer a warm weather disease and nor are suburban yards immune from these critters. Your pets do not have to live near the bush to be at risk of tick paralysis.
Signs to alert you that your pet might have a tick include:
1. Change in their bark or meow
2. Finding a tick or a crater (scab left behind once a tick has fallen off)
3. Vomiting, retching or gagging
4. Weakness/wobbliness in the hind legs
5. Inability to jump up or walk upstairs
6. Difficulty breathing, noisy respiration or grunting noise when breathing
Tick paralysis is a potentially fatal disease BUT is preventable. There are many choices of products to use to protect your pet from tick paralysis.
To find out more please contact Cardiff Veterinary Hospital on 4954 7055.
An important reason to desex your dogs!
This is called pyometra (pus filled uterus)
Did you know that speying or desexing your pet prevents more than just unwanted puppies? It can also prevent life threatening infections and even cancer.
14 year old Pomeranian Dali came to us feeling very unwell with a large object present on x-rays of her abdomen. We took her to surgery to remove the mass and discovered a very large and pus filled uterus that was causing her extreme pain and could have been life-threatening had her owners not given her a chance at surgery. We are happy to report that Dali has recovered well from surgery! 💚You can prevent similar issues by desexing your pet early on in life and reducing the risk of older, ill pets undergoing a long anaesthetic or painful surgery.

Mikey joined us for the first time here at The Canine Collective!
He had an intro to grooming session.
He was a bit nervous about the blow drier but settled quickly. He did amazing with the clippers for the first time and LOVED playing with all the other dogs.
Here at The Canine Collective I use calm, gentle handling to help your Dogs relax and know that grooming isn’t scary and can actually be fun! Pats, treats and play are the rewards of the day!
I take the time to build trust with your Dog and it’s truly a rewarding experience.
Melissa,
The Canine Collective

My Parents and Sister have a their own Canine Collective! With 4 dogs between them! 🐾
Here’s 3 of them curled up together.
When our two doggos stay they have 6 in their pack 😁
We’ve had a few weeks away here @ The Canine Collective!
We went camping north and the dogs stayed with my parents and sister. They had a great time with their 4 dogs!
Let me know if your dog is needing a bath or groom this week!
I am working locally at a bookstore 4 days now so will be available Friday or Sunday this week for grooming appts or training appts.
Happy New Week to Canine Collective Co!

Who wants to cuddle this “Teddy”?
Isn’t he sweet?!
He came for a nice tidy up clip that is easy to maintain at home. He hardly sheds in the house when he is clipped regularly.
Contact me if you need something similar for your dog 🐾🐕🦮🐩🐕🦺🐾
But we’re The Canine Collective right?!
Yes but today we’re helping out a feline friend!
This is Bella, she is 7 years old, a smoochy happy girl who needs a loving home. She is microchipped and desexed and looking for someone who can have her indoors and a part of the family.
I’ve met her several times and she’s a sweet girl who likes hanging out with her humans.
Please contact me if you would like to meet her!

Handsome Teddy joined us for a groom and play recently!
He's a super cute pup!
Doing some impromptu training in the front yard whilst hubby fixes my broken car window…it hasn’t been working but has stayed up until today….came down earlier today just in time for the rain!
Jeffrey is doing better off lead out the front.
At Christmas he realised he could take off down the road….🤦♀️ So we’ve been working on more direction on lead throughout the day and then short sessions out the front off lead and he is learning to stay nearby and resist the temptation to wander.
P.s a shout out to my handy husband who got the window up before the storm and rain! 😃👍
This is my human and canine pack 💕🥰
Jeffrey’s well and truly on the mend and we are so happy!
A big thank you to Charmhaven Vet Hospital for the amazing care of our precious pup!
A pup who feels sick and sleepy because he ate something he shouldn’t have!
X-rays this afternoon confirmed there’s something in his intestine that shouldn’t be there!
Always go with your gut and get them checked to be on the safe side!
More X-rays tomorrow and hopefully it has passed through or it’s surgery for him!
🤞🙏
Jeffrey be sleeping…lol
These sweet sisters came for their second groom!
Book now for your dogs grooming session!
A throw back to my days at New Lambton Vet Clinic as a Veterinary Nurse!
