🦘 What should you do if you come across a sick, injured or orphaned native animal? 🐨

1️⃣ Ensure your safety and the animals, if they are distressed remain a safe distance away. Avoid feeding the animal food or water as this may worsen their condition. Do not attempt to treat the injuries yourself.

2️⃣ Call Wildlife Victoria’s Emergency Response Service on 03 8400 7300. Provide details on the animal’s location and their condition.

3️⃣ Follow the instructions of the experienced emergency response operator, they will provide you with steps to keep the animal safe.

4️⃣ Stay calm. If a volunteer is dispatched, they will arrive on scene as soon as possible.

✨🐾 Happy new year everyone! Thanks for your support throughout 2023.

As the new year approaches, remember to prepare your pets for loud and unfamiliar sounds, like fireworks.

Pets will often try and escape the noise of firework by running away. Before the fireworks start, ensure your pets are:

1. confined to a safe and secure place.
2. wearing identification (council tags).
3. microchipped and owner details are up to date with the relevant registry.

If you are planning to leave your pet indoors during the fireworks, the following tips may put them at ease:

• Turn the radio or television on to dim the noise outside.
• Close the blinds or curtains.
• Leave the lights on so the flashing lights outside are less obvious.

For further information on how to help your pets during fireworks visit: https://go.vic.gov.au/2SIvj9

Stay safe and have fun! 🐾✨

Before going to the dog park or a designated off-lead area, it’s important to socialise your dog with other dogs.

Incidents of dog aggression can occur when a dog isn’t properly socialised or trained. Puppies learn these skills more readily than adult dogs, so start as soon as possible.

Before visiting a dog park your dog should be able to interact peacefully with a variety of dogs and reliably come back to you when called.
