📢 URGENT call for foster carers! 📢

We recently issued a desperate plea for towels and blankets, because of a large influx of dogs that came into our care over Christmas, and we’re so happy to share that the WA community answered our call for help with overwhelming compassion. We can’t thank you enough! We received so many donations in just a few days that we have been able to fully stock our shelves with the towels and blankets we need for the dogs in our care.

But now we need your help again.

We need over 100 foster carers for so-called designer breed dogs, such as golden retrievers and spaniels, who came into our care over Christmas. 😔

These dogs need loving homes in which to de-stress, learn how to socialise, and recover. 🐶

Most of these dogs have limited exposure to people and being handled, so are not suitable for first time dog owners. They will need some additional care and long-term training. Many don't know how to walk on a lead yet and they may have never been in a “normal home”. This means they might be scared of everyday things that we take for granted, like the sound of the washing machine, and they are definitely not ready for the dog park or any busy places yet. They will need to take it slowly as they learn how to integrate into a family home environment.

These will likely be long-term foster commitments. We will pay for everything you need while they are on foster including food, vet checks and other supplies. All we ask is that you are able to bring them to us regularly in Malaga for scheduled treatment and vet checks. 🥰

The dogs do have some infectious diseases and while they’re receiving medical treatment to ensure they are a low risk of infecting others, if you already have a dog at home, your dog will need to be fully vaccinated before you can foster one of these dogs. This is something that will be explained in more detail during the application process.

Please, are you able to help by applying to foster or by sharing this post?

The compassion of the WA community never ceases to amaze us, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support and care for WA’s most vulnerable animals.

Any Meals for Mutts consumers? My recent bag was in the recall. Sad to see this in a brand I’ve trusted, hopefully they get things back on track to being the brand so many trusted. If you have an affected bag, return for replacement.

Dear Valued Pet Parents,

We are writing to extend our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience or concern caused by a recent issue affecting our food. We want to assure you that we take this matter very seriously and are committed to resolving it.

We have become aware of a concern regarding the presence of mould in some of our dry dog products and we want to ensure the well-being of your beloved pets. While this issue has only affected a small number of bags and products from some of our recent production, we believe in taking precautions for the health and safety of your furry friends.

To address this matter, we recommend that you carefully inspect the products with a best before date listed below. It’s important to note that if these products have been stored in a cool, dry environment, the likelihood of any issue is minimal. Nevertheless, we encourage pet parents to remain vigilant.

If you come across any signs of mould in your product or if you prefer not to continue feeding your current bag of affected food from the specific best before dates listed, we kindly ask you to discontinue use and take the product back to the place of purchase or reach out to us at [email protected].

Our dedicated team is here to assist you with replacing your product. When contacting us, please provide details about the product variant, bag size, and best before date for a smoother resolution.

As a further safety precaution, we are actively collaborating with our retail partners to ensure that any affected bags are removed from sale. This collaborative effort underscores our commitment to providing the highest quality dry dog food in Australia.

We continue to be a small Australian family owned brand and your understanding and trust are greatly appreciated as we work to resolve this situation and continue to serve the needs of you and your pets. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Team MFM

“ITS OK HE’S FRIENDLY”

When an owner shouts “it’s ok he’s friendly” as their dog is advancing at break neck speed towards your, under control on lead dog, what he’s actually saying is “my dog is totally out of my control and has absolutely no recall because I’m too lazy to train him”.

The “it’s ok he’s friendly” dog owner believes it’s his right to have his friendly dog off lead harassing others no matter where he is and we can safely assume therefore he has no manners himself either!

The “it’s ok he’s friendly” dog owner has no idea about dogs and is too lazy to learn. He doesn’t therefore understand that your dog may be recovering from an operation, may be nervous or anxious, or that you may actually be training your dog! He doesn’t really even care!

The “it’s ok he’s friendly” dog owner is generally looking for your dog or another person’s dog to entertain or wear his dog out so that he doesn’t have to do it himself!

The “it’s ok he’s friendly” dog owner often thinks that you, the owner who is being responsible and keeping their dog on a lead and under control, is actually the problem and that you shouldn’t be walking where his “friendly dog” with no training or recall has the right to run free!

The reality is that the “it’s ok he’s friendly” dog owner is a selfish and ignorant dog owner!

Don’t be an “it’s ok he’s friendly” dog owner.

Take responsibility & Train your dog and be aware of etiquette and other’s needs and rights too.

🐾Kora Bear 🐻 I have to share her antics this week because she makes me feels so special 😍 I feel like the favourite Aunty when I go to Bec’s (Beccy Durty Dawgs dog wash) house, well at least Kora and Skip’s fave, Rusty not so much!
Kora just can’t get enough cuddles , or close enough, and I love her like she’s my own. Such a special dog, given a second chance in life, and I’m kinda jealous she isn’t mine haha 😂 Love you long time Kora Bear 🐾
