🎆🎆🎆FIREWORKS WARNING 🎆🎆🎆
Attention all dog owners. Please be aware that there will be a fireworks display on Saturday 23/11/24 as part of the Open Streets Festival in Macksville. The fireworks will take place between 6.30pm-8pm and will last for about 10 minutes.
https://www.nambuccavalleyopenstreets.com/

So how do you calm down a dog that is scared of fireworks? Here are some tips:

💥Know when local fireworks are happening so you can be prepared.
💥Exercise beforehand, as a tired and well-fed pet can be less anxious.
💥Be at home with them to help prevent your pet from escaping or injuring themselves. If you can't be with them, consider making arrangements with someone who can.
💥If possible, keep them inside. This reduces the sound of the fireworks for them & also helps to ensure they don't run away.
💥Create a safe, quiet place inside with a comfortable hiding place. Close blinds/curtains to reduce visual stimuli.
💥Use music or the TV to mask the noise.
💥Remain calm yourself, & perform normal activities. Try to avoid fussing over your pet too much as this can encourage anxious behaviour.
💥Distract them with games, favourite toys and treats.
💥Don’t punish your pet for being afraid as this is a normal reaction. It is best to offer comfort and use distraction techniques.
💥Ensure your fences and gates are secure.
💥Of course, always ensure your pet is microchipped and details are up to date, in case they do escape.
💥Speak with your vet about treating noise phobias through behavioural programs and medical options.

We are now taking names for our SENIOR puppy pre school course.

This course is designed for puppies aged between 16 weeks and 6 months. This course is structured very similar to our current 5 week baby puppy pre school course so would recommend this course to puppies that HAVE NOT ATTENDED a puppy pre school before or didn’t quite get the full 5 week experience in their baby puppy pre school course.

For more information or to book a spot contact us via our socials or on 0431029756 🐾

We all know I’m a HUGE ADVOCATE for socialising early on in a SAFE ENVIRONMENT!
Now is time to be EXTRA SAFE and ensure those pups that haven’t had their first 3 vaccines are ONLY SOCIALISED IN SAFE ENVIRONMENTS- interacting with FULLY vaccined dogs or puppies around the same age, only allowing them to interact with HEALTHY DOGS showing no signs of illness, walking on hard surfaces like tar and concrete, avoiding high dog trafficked areas, beaches and rivers as well areas where there has been known parvo cases.

If it’s been over 12 months since your adult dogs have had a vaccine and health check now is the TIME TO GET THEM UP TO DATE WITH THEIR VACCINES to help prevent any risk of them contracting parvo.

IF YOUR DOG IS SHOWING ANY OF THE ABOVE SIGNS PLEASE GET THEM TO A VET ASAP WHILE OBEYING YOUR CLINICS INFECTIOUS DISEASE POLICY.

This doesn’t mean it’s time to lock up your dogs and not keep going on with life, this just means in times like this it’s important to be extra cautious 🐶

😔😔!! Active cases of PARVOVIRUS !! 😔😔

We have seen a number of these cases in the past 2 weeks.

If your dog has diarrhoea &/or vomiting. PLEASE DO NOT enter our clinic without first speaking to reception staff. Please help us keep all animals safe.

Call us from the carpark when you arrive and we will triage your four legged furry friend from the carpark.
