‘It’s not often obvious straight away that something has happened.’

We meet many clients from all walks of life including those who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

The stories of the hate they have experienced in their own neighbourhoods has been heartbreaking to hear.

We just want you to know that you are safe with us and will always have our support and respect 💜❤️🧡💛💚💙

DOG OF THE WEEK! 🐶

We also have a dog of the week this week!!

When we first started clipping Bobs nails he had to be medicated.
He would throw himself around, scream and try to nip without his drugs on board.

18 months later Bob only needs to have treats to have his nails clipped and it’s so quick he barely notices it’s been done 😍

We are so proud of how far Bob has come and he can have his nails done stress free at home 🐾

🌟 CAT OF THE WEEK!! 🌟

It was hard to choose this week with so many great contenders, but the award goes to Trixie!! 😻

We have been grooming Trixie for about a year now and she can be a bit of a grump which is totally expected given her senior years and tortie nature 😜

Today she was the bestest girl! She had a lot of knots underneath and normally this would mean we get a good swiping or two but she was as good as gold and focused on her treats while we carefully removed the matting 💜

We love grooming old gal Trixie with or without the tortitude 😘

🌟 STAR OF THE MONTH!! 🌟

One of our favourite kitties to clip is Santi!

Santi has some Gabapentin to make it more comfortable for him as he has some arthritis that can make grooming a bit uncomfortable at times without the drug on board.

He also polished off 6 Dine creamy treats!
Whatever helps Santi have a good grooming experience 😻

No animal should be labeled a 'Starter Pet'

Today is , a reminder that knowing how to save a life—especially our furry friends—can make all the difference. While having to administer CPR to your pet can be terrifying, being prepared can help you act calmly and confidently in an emergency.

Stay Calm:
1️⃣ Breathe: Take a few deep breaths to steady yourself. Focus on the feeling of the air filling your lungs.
2️⃣ Delegate: If there are bystanders, assign them tasks like finding the nearest emergency vet.
3️⃣ Focus: Keep your mind clear. Concentrate on the steps ahead and stay in the moment.

When to Start CPR:
🐾 Your pet isn’t responding
🐾 Your pet isn’t breathing
🐾 You can’t feel a heartbeat or pulse

How to Perform CPR:
Compressions:
❤️ Position your pet on their side.
❤️ Deliver 120 compressions per minute (2 per second).
❤️ For every 30 compressions, give 2 breaths.

Breaths:
❤️ Close your pet’s mouth and seal it with your fingers.
❤️ Cover their nose and give 2 breaths—enough to make their chest rise.
❤️ Check for a heartbeat after 2 minutes. If there’s no pulse, continue.

When to Stop CPR:
🐾 Your pet starts breathing and responding
🐾 You reach the vet clinic and they take over
🐾 You can’t continue physically
🐾 Your pet starts breathing but is still unconscious

Recovery Position:
Place your pet’s head to the side, slightly tilting down (unless there’s head trauma).

Compression Techniques:
🐶 Medium to Large Dogs: Compress one third of the chest depth.
🐱 Small Dogs/Cats: Use your thumb and fingers for compression, or compress directly over the heart.

Stay prepared and know that you can make a difference in your pet's life! ❤️

When cats reach their senior years, it's recommended that you increase wellness visits from once a year to twice a year. It may seem expensive at first but keep in mind that it could make a difference in early detection of a problem.

❌ PLEASE WATCH THIS TO THE END!! ❌

Getting a robotic cat litter is fine but getting a quality one that won’t kill your cat is obviously so important!!

The machines I highlight in this video all have the same potentially lethal design. Recent firmware makes the sensors work correctly now, but the design is s...

Did you know we help keep owned pets in their homes by providing problem solving advice, subsidised pet desexing Spay It Forward by WA Pet Project and participating in community events like the one below next weekend? 🫂

We are sharing some of our donated pet food and collars with people who are having a hard time. 🍛

One of our volunteers (qualified implanter) will also be there to microchip dogs to help them be compliant with the Dog Act. 💉
