🐾⏰ Appointment Times ⏱️🐾

Are what I strive to work towards 🤷🏻‍♀️ however, it’s not always possible 🤦🏻‍♀️
I Do Not have a clock 🕰️ in the grooming trailer, I Do Not wear a watch 😳 and I’m sorry (Not sorry 😢) but YOUR dog is always my number one priority ❤️🐾❤️ you’re just the Pawrents 🤣🤣

🐾 some dogs are anxious in the beginning, especially if they’ve had a previous bad experience
✂️ my equipment might give me trouble
🛁 and some dogs just need extra care and time due to serious matting of their coat …. Just like this handsome dog in the photos. It should normally take me approx 1.45hrs to groom this fella 🐕 but with the matting it took me 2.5hrs 😤

But rest assured 🚐 I’ve never not shown up for an appointment yet🤞

The Maltese is a small but sturdy dog with a rich history and an affectionate temperament, making it a wonderful companion. Originating in the Mediterranean, its name is derived from the island of Malta, where it was beloved by royalty and nobility. The breed has long been associated with elite circles, and its presence can be seen in ancient artwork and records.

The Maltese is known for its striking white, silky coat, which requires regular grooming to maintain its luster. These dogs are highly affectionate, playful, and energetic, often forming strong bonds with their families. They are well-suited to apartment living due to their small size, but they still need plenty of mental stimulation and exercise to remain happy. Though friendly and loyal, they can be a bit reserved with strangers, making early socialization important.

Overall, Maltese dogs are excellent for those who can dedicate time to grooming and interacting with them. They're particularly suited to families and individuals seeking a devoted, energetic companion that thrives in a cozy environment. However, they may not do well if left alone for long periods, as they can be prone to separation anxiety.

✨🎉🎈 It’s almost time to celebrate the arrival of a new year, but let’s take a moment to think about how your furry family members will be spending New Year’s Eve 🐶

The bursts of bright light and loud noise in the sky made by fireworks can spook even the bravest of dogs, so even if your pooch doesn’t scare easily, it is best to take precautions to ensure your dog remains happy and safe during the celebrations.

Here are a few things you can do:

🐕 Keep your dog indoors 🦴 Give them access to a safe haven such as a crate with familiar smells. 🐾 Remove any potentially dangerous objects. ✂️ Make sure all doors and gates are closed and secure.

If you can’t be home with your dog leave music or the TV on as a distraction from the noise outside. 🦊 ensure they are microchipped and your details are up to date

🌟🐾🥂 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🥳🍾💥

IT ONLY TAKES 6 MINUTES FOR A DOG TO DIE IN A HOT CAR 🌞💀

Every year, especially when temperatures start to rise, RSPCA NSW receives constant calls about animals that have been left inside locked cars 🚗

It doesn't matter whether it's 20 degrees or 40 degrees, whether you have left the windows up or down or have even left a bowl of water inside the car. It takes only minutes for pets to start to suffer the effects of dehydration and heat stroke, both of which can lead to irreversible damage and death.

So this Summer, PLEASE take it seriously and never leave your pets behind 🙏

If you see a dog in a hot car, contact RSPCA NSW (1300 278 3589) or NSW police as soon as possible.

Boxing Day is a great time to relax and enjoy spending extra time with your furry friends! As you recover from the excitement of Christmas, don't forget that your dog still needs attention and care. At DOGS NSW, we encourage dog owners to make sure their pets stay safe, comfortable, and entertained, even during the holiday season.

This Boxing Day, ensure your dog has a cool and quiet place to rest away from any noise or commotion, especially if you have guests. Remember to keep them hydrated and consider taking them for a walk when things are quieter, allowing them to enjoy some fresh air and exercise.

With many exciting events coming up at DOGS NSW, it’s also a perfect time to start planning your participation in upcoming dog shows and activities. Whether it’s agility trials or family fun, there's always something happening where your dog can shine.

From all of us at DOGS NSW, we wish you and your dog a wonderful Boxing Day filled with love and joy. For more information on upcoming events, check out the latest updates on our website! 🎉🐾
