DON'T LEAVE YOUR PET IN THE CAR🌡️☀️

On a warm day, the inside of your car heats up very quickly. Did you know that on a 30°C day, the temperature inside your car can reach 39°C in less than 5 minutes?

This occurs even in the shade and if your windows are open. This heat can kill an animal in a matter of minutes.

If you see a pet suffering in a warm car, take immediate action – find the owner or call the New Zealand Police or SPCA New Zealand.

We've had lots of phone calls regarding fledgling birdies on the ground.
Check out this poster, it's normal for mum & dad to feed their babies at ground level. Lock your cats & dogs inside & let the birdie parents do their thing 🐦🐦‍⬛ 🐦

For more info, ask Uncle Google "What to do with a fledgling bird".

Getting a puppy for Christmas...okay or not?

The answer is that (like with many things), it depends.

NOT OKAY
+ Surprising someone with a puppy they weren't expecting and didn't have a hand in choosing
+ Handing over a puppy that someone is totally unprepared for in their home
+ Giving kids a puppy for Christmas with the expectation that they will be able to meet all of its training and care needs
+ Making a spur-of-the-moment decision to get a pup
+ Getting a puppy when you know you could well be moving in future and unable to take the dog with you

GREAT!
+ Carefully researching and planning whether or not you're able to give a dog a home for life, then deciding to bring a puppy into your family at Christmas given it is such an exciting time of the year
+ Introducing a pup at Christmas because know you'll be home for the holidays so can help them settle in
+ Surprising your kids with a puppy on Christmas day, having prepared for the pup's arrival and made a commitment to looking after it for life
+ Giving a puppy "to your kids" for Christmas, in the knowledge that you will need to be a big part of its training and care, and will need to manage that pup with your kids carefully to ensure its needs are being met and it is not being overwhelmed or accidentally mishandled (if you have young kids)

Remember, getting a puppy requires A LOT of careful consideration about whether or not you're able to provide a dog a home for up to 15+ years, and it's so important to choose a pup that will fit with your lifestyle, not just the one that looks the cutest on the day.

But if you have thought about it carefully and decided this is the time, then I am thrilled for you! (and want pictures ASAP).

And remember if you are getting a puppy for Christmas, we can help you with everything you need to know about how to raise and train a pup through our Virtual Puppy School. Start early and you’ll have a much easier ride of it! https://dogzen.com/product/puppy-zen-virtual-puppy-school-subscription-ongoing/

Karaka berry warning! From January to April these native trees bear fruit that ripens and turns orange.
Karaka berries are highly toxic to dogs and can cause vomiting, weakness, tremors, seizures and even death.

Pets feel the heat just as much as us, so it is important to over summer to help them keep cool and prevent heatstroke from happening!☀️

🚶‍♀️Exercise your dogs early in the morning or evening when the temperature is cooler.
**Remember the Five Second Rule before taking your pet outside. Simply place the back of your hand on the ground for five seconds. If it is too hot for your hand, then it is definitely too hot for your pet’s paws. **

🌳If you have left your pet alone outside, make sure it has a shady area to get to.
Or keep your pet inside, with air conditioning or fans to increase air circulation.

💧Make sure your pet has two bowls of water in case one gets knocked over, add ice cubes to keep it cooler longer.

🛑 DONT leave your pet in your vehicle, even if it is in the shade.
🛑 DONT travel with your pet in a poorly ventilated vehicle.
🛑 DONT take your dog for a run in the middle of the day.

Heatstroke is a life-threatening condition and breeds with short noses such as pugs are bulldogs are at higher risk. If you do suspect heatstroke start cooling them immediately with wet towels or spray them with cool (but not cold) water on your way to the vet.
