Keep your pets safe this Easter

Easter eggs

Chocolate contains a chemical called ‘theobromine’, which is toxic to dogs.

Even small amounts of the stuff can cause convulsions, heart problems, hyperexcitability and fits.

The darker the chocolate, the more potent the level of theobromine, and the more poisonous it is – and giving any type of chocolate to dogs should be avoided.

Call your vet if you dogs eats any more than 20 mg/kg of theobromine – that’s equivalent to 3.5 g/kg of plain or dark chocolate and 14 g/kg milk chocolate.

White chocolate does not contain enough theobromine to cause toxicity, but it can be fatty and pose a potential risk of pancreatitis.

Hot cross buns

Hot cross buns contain dried fruit, such as currants, sultanas and raisins – and all of these are toxic to dogs.

If your dog eats even a small quantity of these dried fruits (and grapes), they can suffer severe kidney failure which may be fatal.

Scientists don’t fully understand what it is in raisins, grapes and sultanas that makes them toxic to dogs. Some pets have ingested large quantities and felt no effects, but others – including large breeds - have died after eating just a few raisins.

Sharing just a little bit with your dog isn’t worth the risk of losing your best friend – avoid heartache by keeping them away from hot cross buns altogether.

It's been a huge year for us. I've lost count of how many collars and leads we have made, this one has been the most special one without a doubt though.
On Christmas Eve Shaun proposed to Alicia, with Dexter's help of course! Dexter looked gorgeous in his black collar with gold buckle and gold tag with the all important question engraved on it. Most importantly though was the beautiful black diamond ring Dexter was carrying for Shaun attached to his collar.
Alicia said yes, how could she not!!

30/12/2016

Our last order for the year has been sent! A collar with a steel shackle and custom lead with an extra handle close to the clip for when you need a short lead and an extra D ring to clip a poo bag holder to...what more could you need 😀
This set will be making its way to the U.K with Elka. We will miss you Elka and family, enjoy your exciting adventure abroad!

Fireworks may be exciting for humans but they can be terrifying for animals. Here are a few things you can do to help ensure New Year's Eve is safer for our feathered and four-legged friends:

1) Before festivities begin, bring animals inside and ensure that your house is safe and secure.
2) Provide a haven in your home — close windows, draw blinds/curtains, turn on TV or radio for background noise
3) Some pets can become so spooked they will do anything to escape — including bolting over high fences and even through windows, so keep this in mind and make sure your property is escape-proof.
4) Make sure animals are easily identifiable (microchip, collar with your updated contact details) in case they do become lost.
5) Take your pup for a nice long walk/play during the day (provided it isn't too hot of course) so they are more likely to sleep later on
6) Don't tie up dogs as they can choke/injure themselves if they become panicked
7) Know what to do if you come across distressed wildlife around roads: www.AnimalsAus.org/ue

If in doubt, stay at home or arrange for a friend or family member to supervise your animal companions (and distract them with treats and games).
