I have found a new range of dog bath robes/towels. I currently have 1 XL available in purple as well as 2 L (1 red, 1 purple) available. It is a case of first in first to get. I will be placing an order for more and smaller sizes for those interested. Please let me know if you want me to order and how many. I am unsure on colour availability at the moment. They will be $40 each.
They are smaller in size so will probably fit Aussies/Border Collies.

I have a whole range of new treats in stock as I have found a new supplier. Have a look when you are in next as I am sure there is something there your dogs would love. All treats are preservative free and Australian made.

IS PASTA APPROPRIATE FOR DOGS?

When pet owners prepare their own dog food, they often include rice and/or pasta. Pasta is a staple in many households and is often associated with family meals, as it brings people together. However, its place in a biologically appropriate diet for dogs is questionable. Pet owners may feel that pasta shows a higher level of love and care for their pets, but it is important to prioritize their nutritional needs over personal preferences.

The short answer is No!

Pasta serves as a binder in kibble, but it is excessively high in carbohydrates and lacks nutritional value for canines. Instead, consider incorporating cooked oats, buckwheat, or quinoa in modest amounts to enhance gut health.

As we strive to feed our dogs a fresh food diet, we must aim to mirror the natural diet of their wild ancestors as closely as possible. This means taking into account the nutritional needs of our canine companions and ensuring that their diet is not deficient in essential nutrients. Simply feeding them large batches of chicken, vegetables, and pasta or rice is not a nutrient-rich option and may have negative consequences for their health.

A well-rounded fresh food diet involves offering a diverse array of meals that provide the necessary balance of nutrients. Preparing large batches of food may not guarantee the required variety, making it essential to prioritize rotation and selection in meal planning.

Kennel cough/Canine cough

All dog owners are advised to exercise caution as there has been an increase in the number of dogs contracting kennel cough/canine cough recently.

Please do not bring your dogs to hydrotherapy if they show any symptoms until all dogs in the household are clear of the illness (no cough for a week). It is highly contagious and will likely spread to all dogs.

Although dogs are vaccinated annually, it is similar to our flu jabs and does not cover all strains.

To ensure the safety of your dogs, consider avoiding dog parks, doggy daycare, and boarding kennels, keep your dogs' vaccinations up to date, and watch for symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and lethargy.

Please be vigilant and contact your vet if your dog shows any symptoms.

Unfortunately, we have one broken treadmill at this time, and we are uncertain when it will be repaired. This will require us to rejuggle some sessions to ensure all dogs can can still have a session. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and are working to get the machine fixed as soon as possible.
Please keep an eye out for a text message today.
Thanks
