I’m a tad coy about my tattoos (I have a few - more than my mother would like!), but this cutie patootie sleeping panda 🐼 has brought me joy today so I thought I’d share the love. His name is Pedro.
Pedro represents my love of animals 🥰

Here is a very pretty pink tea-cup….
This tea-cup is the only vessel one of my very fave regular clients Madame Moonie will drink out of 💕
She has such style and grace - maybe why we get along so well!

Great advice and reminders to ensure our precious pooches are taken care of at Christmas, courtesy of Marie Matthews….

🎄🎅🎄Are you dog-ready for the silly season?🎄🎅🎄
🐾 Many of us are out and about socialising, so if your little mate is at home be sure there’s plenty of shade and water for them and that they’re secure and safe.
🐾 If you are entertaining at home be sure your little mate has a cool place to relax and avoid visitors if they want some peace and quiet. It can get overstimulating for them with lots of new people and noise.
🐾 I always ask guests not to give my dogs any food at all, just so I can be sure they’re not getting anything they shouldn’t have.
🐾 If you’re travelling be sure your dog is microchipped and your details on the database are up to date. It’s also a good idea to put the details in your phone contacts or take a pic of the microchip certificate so you’ve got it with you if you need it. Also have a list of any medications/medical conditions.
🐾 Have your doggy first aid kit handy. I’ll put a Heimlich manoeuvre instruction guide in the comments.
🐾 If you are going to be away from home find out the name of the local vet and their emergency after hours phone number.
🐾 If you’re going swimming with your dog be aware of hyponatremia (water toxicity) and be sure they don’t overdo it and get swimmers’ tail - ouch!
🐾 Don’t let them get too hot ~ heat stress/stroke happens quickly and can be fatal.
🐾 If your dog is afraid of fireworks then make sure they’re kept safe. And encourage your local councils/community groups to use low-noise fireworks which are far kinder to all animals.
🐾 It can be a real temptation to overfeed our furry friends at this time of year, or give them sneaky treats that they don’t usually have. Try not to overdo it and keep in mind that any new items may cause tummy upsets.
🐾 Be really careful of batteries, decorations and pine needles (from live trees) ~ these can be choking hazards.
🐾 Buy toys and chews that are size-appropriate for your dog.
🐾 Avoid nasties like rawhide and other chemical-filled “treats” for dogs (see our Files Section for more info).
🐾 Be mindful of toxic flowers/plants ~ poinsettia and lillies shouldn’t be left at dog-level.
Especially important to remember that many human foods are toxic and dangerous for dogs ~
🐾 Onion ~ also found in stuffing mix, gravy mixes, store bought stock)
🐾 Xylitol ~ found in some candy canes, ice creams, sugar free lollies and gum, commercially baked products, some toothpastes and more
🐾 Alcohol
🐾 Caffeine
🐾 Ham (too salty) and the off cut fat can cause an episode of pancreatitis
🐾 Grapes, raisins, sultanas (mince pies, pudding and fruit cake)
🐾 Cooked bones/shells from seafood/large fish bones
🐾 Macadamias
🐾 Chocolate
🐾 Stones from peaches, plums, cherries, etc
🐾 Blue cheese
🐾 Food on sticks like skewers, ice creams, etc
Keep your mates safe so that everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ❤️🐾

The Marvellous Miss Moonie - another much loved regular - sitting on command for her treat 🥰 (sound on helps) Cat whisperer maybe, but more likely Moonie is smart enough to indulge me to get what she wants 💕💙

Pretty funny and often accurate - definitely quite a few statements every dog owners can relate to, I sure could (my ScottiePoo!) 💕💙

They say that ‘the eyes are the window to the soul’ - well this could not be more true for the very lovely Lily who I have the joy of spoiling 💕💙

Let’s face it, our cats love it when us humans go on holidays! They have the house to themselves. Their very own retreat from the usual hustle and bustle.

While they may act all independent, they will still thoroughly enjoy spoiling visits from TREAT PLAY LOVE for food, fun, fresh water and litter tray clean.

Book five sessions, get one free.
Limited spaces so book ASAP.
Servicing Ocean Grove and surrounding Bellarine.

This is my only fur baby yet to feature on the TREAT PLAY LOVE page. She is the most senior of the crew in years and most definitely in status! Introducing you to my Esme, who in this pic is overseeing the Spoiling Kit sorting, which I take to all sessions 💕💙

When you’re at work do you worry about your dog being lonely and bored at home, even anxious?

So no need for you to add all that extra travel to your day with time consuming drop offs and pickups. Just come straight home to your happy fur baby who has had some treats, some play and some love that day.

Plus, if your dog really enjoys the company of other four-legged friends, like a traditional doggie daycare setting, I have two willing K9 companions who I can bring along for some extra fun!

Special discounts available for a limited time, with limited spaces. Servicing Ocean Grove and surrounding Bellarine where possible.

PS. Dharra is the indigenous name for his species - a Macleay River Turtle.

How lovely is this, though I would be lying if I said the 80,000 figure sounded a little inflated. Still gorgeous though that the Queen’s former corgis ’released a joint statement’ 🥰
