If you haven't already start prepping for your pets to comfortable inside tomorrow 😻. Cooling mats, fans on, lots of water (also for wildlife outside), ice cubes, frozen treats. If your pet must stay outdoors, provide lots of shade, water bowls and still offer some frozen treats. Our chickens will get vegie cubes. Take care.

ANOTHER very hot day in Bendigo today.

Please make sure you are caring for your dog correctly with shade (better still inside in air conditioned comfort), water, (also placed in shade and in a bucket that can't be knocked over), and a shell pool if your dog likes to get into water.

Your dog does not need to exercise on days like this, especially as the ground (if not grass / dirt) is likely to be very hot.

You also need to be careful if you have fake turf as the backing on this product also gets very hot.

Your dog wears a 'fur coat' permanently, imagine what it must feel like when it gets very hot. See below for signs of heat stroke and act quickly.

Spending time with Scooby ❤️. We are enjoying the Xmas decorations on the houses as we wander. I was also spoilt by Thulz, Jarlath and Scooby with a xmas present and some yummy ginger breads 😋.

So many ways to feed your dog and cat...you do not need to buy puzzle toys. Get creative, find items in the recycling bin and let your imagination go.

The benefits of using food puzzle toys, how to choose them, and how to introduce them to your dog.

It has been fun hanging out with Cleo, Eddie, Dottie, Slippery and Slimy. I have learnt a lot about snail care and sometimes worried that they may not survive....but they did 🥳.

Prepping some scent enrichment for my client's ❤️ and my own 🐈 🐈🐈🐈s. Happy decided he would be helpful, it took a bit to get access to the different scents.

It has been a warm day, so this evening not much play from the girls but lots of carpet lounging. Eddie has decided she would rather watch 🐦 🐦‍⬛. Slimy and Slippery are teaching me lots about their care.

Also super important with cats 🐈 😻 🐈‍⬛️ ❤️

Predictability can really help a sensitive dog. Knowing what is going to happen and when gives them something definite to expect and work with and can help them to understand the environment around them much more clearly.

Slippery or Slimy, I am not able to tell them apart yet. Chilling in their enclosure.

Lots of playing, a roll around with Dottie and hide n seek with Eddie. Slippery and Slimy still doing their thing 🐌.

A lovely visit with Dottie, Eddie, Cleo, Slippery and Slimy. Lots of play, spreading of catnip and finding where Eddie's dice was hidden 🎲❤️.

What a puppy! This is a little 9 week old visitor to our place to see if Lacey would like a friend. He is a gorgeous pup from a rescue. Kelpie X possibly staffy, but to be honest we collect pure-bred mutts. We haven't given him a name yet, as we see how things go, but we have tried out Obie, Jax and my fav Sparklefart.

Not every dog loves to be social and not every dog loves the dog park.

Just like other mammals you have some that love to be social butterflies and others are very selective when it comes to friends.

It is normal to be friend selective. It’s unusual to enjoy and be friendly with every single dog.
