It's amazing what can be achieved in 10 years!!

The first image was our very first treat range when we ran our market stall at Kingsbury Drive Community Market.

The second image is our current range in-store at our own shop in Main St, Greensborough.

We are always adding to our treat range. There is always something new to see when you visit us. As usual, your continued support helps support our small business and the five staff members who work hard to keep your pets happy, healthy, and looking fabulous.

If you're after 100% natural, Australian dog treats, we have something for every dog. ❤️🐾

Do you need a van?

We're selling one of our work vans as we no longer need the additional vehicle since we retired our walking service last year.

Here are the details:

Renault Kangoo WHITE 2018 (demo, purchased in 2019)
Transmission: 5 speed Auto
Odometer: 105,000km
Fuel: 95 or 98 unleaded
Extras:
- Professionally installed caging with locks by Puppy Bars, removable (value approx $4k)
- Reversing sensors
- Bluetooth
- USB input
- TWO keys included

Asking Price: $18,000 (GST inclusive) ONO

Van will come with RWC. This will be completed once there is interest in a vehicle as RWC expires after 30 days.

All our vans are regularly serviced; logs provided.

There are some very minor dings/scratches here and there but nothing major. Will provide more imagery for interested people. First image is a stock image to show the Renault Kangoo vehicle design. Second photo is of our 2015 vehicle with the same caging. Rear door is a lift design rather than the pictured barn doors. We will update with specific images of the 2019 van once we give it a clean.

If you or someone you know may be interested in our van, please feel free to reach out via email or phone to arrange a time to check out the vehicle.

Peekaboo, I see you.
Take a free treat? Don't mind if I do.

Sagan is one of our behaviour grooming clients. She had her first groom with us last week (pic at the end from her first groom) and has come back in again this week for a social visit to maintain a positive association to our shop; to build on her confidence with being groomed.

I think we are fast becoming her new best friends! 🐾❤️

Are you looking for a new best friend?!
🐾 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 🐾

We did some training with Ziya and her foster mum, Helen, to help with general obedience, loose lead walking, etc. to help with her success if finding her forever home.

Ziya is such a beautiful girl with a wonderful temperament, and is so willing to please everyone. At just 6.5month old, she is so well-mannered and suggly.

If you think Ziya would fit into your family, please apply for her through her Pet Rescue profile. ❤️🐾

Another puppy farm bites the dust 🥳

When purchasing a puppy, regardless of it being a pure breed or mixed breed, it is sooo important to do your due diligence, to ensure all dogs and puppies of the breeder are well cared for; That the breeder has the best interests of their dogs and bettering the breed line, rather than $$.

Mixed breed dogs, as a general rule, aren't breeding to better a specific breed. In these instances, please be mindful of this.

Now, to find homes for the 250 dogs that have been seized from this puppy farm...

More than 250 labradoodles have been surrendered to the RSPCA following the closure of one of Tasmania's largest dog breeders.

Some work days as a dog trainer are a little different than others.

Last month, our job was to assess some canine volunteers (and their handlers) to determine their suitability for the Yarra Plenty Regional Library's Reading Dogs Program.

What is the program about? 📖 🐕

Yarra Plenty Regional Library’s Reading Dogs Program is aimed at creating a safe environment for children to build confidence in reading and communication skills while in the company of our volunteer dog.

If you know a child who may benefit from the program, you can contact the library to book a time to read to a volunteer dog during their visits.

Did you have an Easter Egg Hunt this weekend? How does your dog react to Easter egg hunts? Do they join in the search, or do they prefer to watch from the sidelines?

01/04/2024

Batten down the hatches, folks! When thunder rolls and lightning strikes, it's not just your backyard feeling the fury – your furry friend might be trembling like a leaf too! But fear not; Here's how to help them weather the storm like a pro:

1. **Create a Safe Space**
Set up a cozy "den" where your dog can seek refuge during storms. This could be under a table, in a wardrobe, or their trusty crate if you have one.

2. **Mask the Noise**
Play soothing music or white noise to drown out the scary sounds of thunder. This will decrease the jump-scare they may get from those rogue thunder claps.

3. **Calm Yourself**
Your dog takes cues from you, so stay cool as a cucumber during storms. Your stress response changes your intrenal chemicals and your dog can pick up on these changes.

4. **Distraction Tactics**
Engage your pup in activities they enjoy to take their mind off the storm. This could be a snuffle mat and chew treats to playing tug or doing some engaging obedience games.

5. **Consider Calming Aids**
From thunder shirts to pheromone diffusers, there are plenty of products designed to help anxious dogs feel more at ease. You can speak with us about your different options.

With these tips, you'll be their beacon of calm in even the fiercest of storms! But if your dog is really struggling, come in-store and have a chat with us to discuss your options. From training techniques to calming aids, we've got your covered. 🌩️🐾

On this Easter Monday, today would have been Luke's official 15th birthday. We didn't get to have the day we planned, but we'll celebrate at home, thinking about all the birthdays we DID get to celebrate in the years prior.

Happy birthday, Buddy. We miss you. ❤️🐾🌈
