Happy Friday! ☀️ Ever wonder why your dog seems extra energetic and a little distracted on walks right now? It's a "sensory overload" of the best kind!

Here’s your Friday Fact: A dog's sense of smell is already 10,000 to 100,000 times more powerful than ours, and spring sends it into overdrive! 🌸 The damp earth, blooming flowers, and the return of active wildlife create a whole new world of exciting scents that have been dormant all winter.

For your furry friend, a simple spring walk is like reading the daily news, catching up on social media, and watching an action movie all at once. So, if they’re taking a little longer to sniff that patch of grass, be patient – they’re just catching up on all the exciting new stories of the season!

🐾 Fun Fact Friday! 🐾

The weather is starting to heat up! Ever wondered if your dog sweats?
They do, but not like we do!

While humans have sweat glands all over, a dog's primary sweat glands (called merocrine glands) are located in their paw pads. On a hot day, you might even notice damp paw prints on the floor – that's your dog's personal cooling system in action!

However, sweating through their paws isn't very efficient for cooling their whole body. A dog's main way to beat the heat is through panting. This process allows for moisture to evaporate from their tongue and lungs, which helps lower their body temperature.

So, while your pup might leave you a few sweaty "high fives," their panting is what's really keeping them cool.

How to help your dog stay cool:
✅ Always provide fresh, clean water.
✅ Ensure they have a shady spot to rest.
✅ Avoid exercise during the hottest parts of the day.

🐶 5 things you DIDN'T know about shedding in spring

If you have a dog or a cat, you probably notice more hair than usual at home during the spring months, don't you? It's shedding season, so we're going to tell you some interesting facts about this process:

1️⃣ It's natural. The moulting of our animals' hair is a completely natural process in which the fur is renewed, losing the old and dead fur to make way for new, healthy fur.
2️⃣ It's not just due to the heat. The moulting of hair can be influenced by various factors, including the season, the amount of sunlight and the dog's genetics.
3️⃣ Not all dogs shed in the same way. Breeds such as the Siberian husky or the golden retriever shed more intensely, while others such as the poodle hardly shed at all.
4️⃣ Diet influences shedding. A diet rich in fatty acids and quality animal proteins keeps the coat and skin healthier and reduces excessive shedding.
5️⃣ Don't forget to brush them! If you brush your dog or cat several times a week, you will be helping them to moult, especially in breeds with a double coat.

Does your pet shed a lot of hair this time of year?

Let's talk about one of Australia's most beloved breeds: the Cavoodle!

Here are a few fun facts about these adorable fluffballs:

❤️ A Perfect Mix: The Cavoodle is a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle (usually a Miniature or Toy). This mix was intended to create a friendly, intelligent, and low-shedding companion dog.

🧠 Brains & Heart: They inherit the sweet, gentle nature of the Cavalier and the sharp intelligence of the Poodle, making them highly trainable and affectionate family pets.

🐾 Not Always Hypoallergenic: While their Poodle parentage means they are often low-shedding, no dog is truly 100% hypoallergenic. Their coats can range from wavy to curly and require regular grooming to prevent matting.

Want your pet to have a healthy, shiny coat? ✨ A little routine care makes all the difference!

Here are 5 simple tips for amazing skin and coat health:

1️⃣ Brush Regularly: Removes loose fur, prevents knots, and strengthens your bond. It's also the best way to spot any early skin issues!

2️⃣ Bathe Smart: Always use pet-specific shampoo. Human products can irritate their skin and strip natural oils.

3️⃣ Feed for Health: Great skin starts from within! A high-quality diet rich in Omega-3s is key for a healthy glow.

4️⃣ Vet Checks are Vital: Don't skip their annual wellness check! And if you notice itching, hair loss, or dandruff, it's time for a visit.

5️⃣ Year-Round Parasite Control: Fleas, ticks, and mites are major causes of skin problems. Keep their prevention up-to-date all year long.

Is your home's new primary decorating theme 'pet fur'? You're not alone! 😂

As we get closer to spring, the extra daylight is the signal for our pets to ditch their winter woollies and start growing their sleek summer coat. This "great shed" is totally natural, but it can feel like you're living in a fur-nado!

Your best friend right now? A good grooming brush! A few minutes of brushing each day can massively reduce the fluff on your floors and furniture, while also preventing uncomfortable mats for your pet.

The classic 'hide-the-pill-in-the-treat' game... and losing. We've all been there! 😅

Giving your pet their worming tablet doesn't have to be a battle. MILPRO® allwormer tablets are cleverly liver flavored film-coated, making them easier to swallow and masking the bitter taste that our fussy friends often reject.

It means less stress for you, and broad-spectrum protection from all common intestinal worms for them. It’s a win-win!

Ask your vet about the easier way to worm. Ask about MILPRO®.

Tuesday Trivia: Golden Retriever Edition! ✨

They're one of the most popular breeds in the world, but how much do you really know about these golden rays of sunshine?

Here are a few of our favourite fun facts:

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 They're Scottish! Despite a myth about them being Russian circus dogs, they were actually first bred in the Scottish Highlands in the late 1800s by Lord Tweedmouth, who wanted a perfect retrieving dog for the local terrain.

🐾 They Have Webbed Feet! That's right! Goldens have webbed toes, which makes them fantastic and powerful swimmers—perfect for their original job of retrieving waterfowl.

🧠 They're Super Smart! Golden Retrievers are ranked as the fourth most intelligent dog breed, making them highly trainable for everything from obedience to assistance dog work.

🐾 It’s International Assistance Dog Week! 🐾

This week, Assistance Dogs Australia are launching an advocacy campaign, ‘Four Paws. Full Access. Together.’ to celebrate the incredible impact of Assistance Dogs and educate the community on one key message: they have the right to be here.

When you see an Assistance Dogs Australia dog in a public place, you’re seeing more than just a dog. You’re seeing a partner that empowers independence, connection, and inclusion for an Australian with physical disability, PTSD, or autism.

It takes two years and over $60,000 to train and match each life-changing dog, which they provide at no cost. As a charity that receives little recurring government funding, they rely on community support to make it happen.

Help us champion their rights. Learn more about ADA’s work and how you can support their mission at https://www.assistancedogs.org.au/iadw25/.
