Advocate for your pets this Summer as they can't do it for themselves ❤️

SUMMER EMERGENCY PT II

The latter half of the week hasn’t eased up for our pets! Here’s some vet tips from cases this week:

1. HEAT STROKE: it’s hot and the brachy breeds feel it the most (pugs, frenchies, bull dogs, short nosed staffys) - the most effective way to cool down your pet is to hose them to soaking wet and put a fan on close by. Please do NOT cover with a wet towel. Do this BEFORE arrival at the clinic if possible.

2. SAND INGESTION: if discarding cooking oil please do it on grass then hose away or discard in an area where dogs cannot ingest the oily sand. Sand ingestion can lead to mild gastro signs to severe with obstruction and sepsis.

3. KANGAROOS: urbanisation and the dry heat mean that the Roos will be closer to walking trail / residential areas. If your dog has a strong prey drive or is just too curious - please keep them on the lead while kangaroos do their thing. Wounds inflicted by kangaroos defending themselves are often extensive and 90% of the time will require surgical repair.

4. SNAKES: we have had 4 snake envenomation cases in 10 days. These have all been from the KARRIDALE area - but we know there can be snakes in town center back yards.

5. FISH HOOKS: we see plenty of fish hooks in dogs (and some cats!) - generally all require a minimum of sedation to remove - these are generally in the mouth or snagged in a foot. Ingested hooks can require abdominal surgery. Take care with where you store fishing gear.

This is Koda who is feeling much better after his dugite 🐍 encounter.

Thank you so much to everyone who came down yesterday for our first end of year Furry Fit Xmas Pawty!! Photos to come soon ❤️
Tomorrow marks the start of our last week before we take a couple weeks off from off leash adventures. House sitting is also fully booked out during this time. Let's make this last week of off leash adventuring in 2024 a good one!!

A big belated welcome to these two sisters!
🌴Willow🌴 & 💚Zoey💚

These two come from the same mother but different litters. They are a delight to watch on the off leash adventures- their hobbies include jumping into the water on top of each other (on purpose) and absolutely running amuck with their new friends in the field. They are the epitome of joy 🙌

After a busy and crowded weekend in Margaret River, it's time to shake off the Monday blues and jump into the week 🙌🙌🙌

Busselton and surrounds!
Do you have enclosed land we can use for our off leash doggy adventures twice per week? Our current Yelverton property will be listed to sell in the future. We have been using this property for around two years now which has lead to a wonderful relationship with the owners.

We are in no rush to move on as we have been given more than enough notice to find our next doggy paradise, however we're putting word out early and if you have something that's perfect we would love to jump straight on it!
We would love to find another space with a swimming dam for our happy pooches and would also love to upgrade this time with a shed available for us to set up a base!

Are you a land owning dog lover who would be happy to have us each Tuesday and Thursday for half of the day? Please reach out to discuss possibilities. Check out our facebook and instagram videos to see what we do and get in touch if you have something you think would suit :)

Our current landlords can provide excellent references.

The way we speak about your dogs at Furry Fit reminds me so much of when I was working in early childhood education- we do our best to remember their needs, their quirks, their strange and sometimes funny dislikes. We notice changes in their temperament and we get so excited when they reach milestones or conquer challenges.
Mitch will often send me photos or videos of new successes or queries and we love sharing these updates with owners and working together to best care for your furry best mates!

Furry Fit is roughly 3 years old today!!

I love to share this picture I posted 3 years ago- I remember being nervous about taking more than two dogs with me. 🤣

How far Furry Fit has come now!!
From three dogs in my camper van to our little caddy with six dogs- to our wonderful Furry Fit Van with 9 dogs- plus our Mini bus in Busselton transporting over 10 doggies weekly!

What an amazing experience the past 3 years has been. Many lessons learnt.
There is no way Furry Fit would have been able to grow without finding someone like our main walker Mitch who totally fit like a glove for Furry Fit and has been so important in keeping our clientele relationships strong!
Which is why we are so grateful to have so many clients still with Furry Fit 3 years on!!
And also to our new house sitting team who are absolutely hitting it out of the park. I am truly so grateful to have found everyone that has jumped on board to meet our lovely client's care needs.

We have gone from 2 permanent weekly clients to over 80 plus all of our wonderful house sitting and casual clients and holiday visiting pooches. Our only plan is to keep going and keep offering more and more to our wonderful doggo community!

THANKYOU for supporting Furry Fit, 🙏💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Welcome to these two new additions!!

🎾Bowie🎾 & 🩵Oscar🩵

Bowie has joined our Busselton weekly farm day. He is a big beautiful boy who had the best time on his first day. It didn't take him long to Instigate a game of chase with his new friends!

Oscar is joining our weekday Thursday littles. Oscar comes to us as a 15 yr old good boy!! He is quite chipper for his age and enjoyed a slow sniffy stroll on this calmer session.
