So most dogs (and some cats!) will eat anything... however there are some things that just aren't good for them at all- especially around Christmas.
Chocolate- the theobromine in Chocolate is extremely damaging to a dog’s kidney. Dark chocolate contains the highest concentration. Cats are also very sensitive to Chocolate!
Avocado- Some dogs will react badly to avocado!
Onion & Garlic- They are both toxic to dogs. Cooking them does not eliminate toxicity
Chewing gum- The artificial sweetener in gum (and many other sweets) can cause clotting and liver issues
Macadamia nuts- They affect muscles in dogs- Turkey stuffing often contains macadamia nuts
Grapes- Again another one to watch- some pets are ok with grapes (and sultanas) however we have definitely seen pets end up at the vet after consuming them- turkey stuffing and biscuits often contain these too.
Cooked bones- once a bone is cooked it becomes brittle and can splinter and break causing damage to your dog.
Also be careful with Avocado seeds, Mango seeds and the discarded corn cobs- they aren't toxic however many a doggo has ended up in emergency after choking on these

If you are spending your Christmas Holidays away this year and your pet will be in care- have you made plans for their vet treatment or service should the unthinkable happen?
Having a plan in place can really give you peace of mind and can allow you to ensure your wishes are met even if you are not there. At Pet Rest, we are able to keep your details and wishes on file- even just as an ‘in-case’, should anything happen while you are away.
We always contact families before proceeding with a service so that you know where your pet is and that they are safe and being cared for.
If you would like to talk about your options or create an ‘in-case’ plan for the holidays, please don’t hesitate to call us on 5439 6111 or email [email protected]

With the Summer season here, many older pets struggle with the heat. We have put together some frequently asked questions to help you should something happen.

My Pet has died at home- what do I do? My Pet has died at home

At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. The allied armies had driven the German invaders back, having inflicted heavy defeats upon them over the preceding four months. In November the Germans called for an armistice (suspension of fighting) in order to secure a peace settlement. They accepted allied terms that amounted to unconditional surrender.
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month attained a special significance in the post-war years. The moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front became universally associated with the remembrance of those who had died in the war. This first modern world conflict had brought about the mobilisation of over 70 million people and left between 9 and 13 million dead, perhaps as many as one-third of them with no known grave. The allied nations chose this day and time for the commemoration of their war dead.

We will remember them.
