Hi y’all! I thought I would pop up a little check-in! What would the interest be like in either late night puppy classes (8pm onwards) or weekend puppy classes? Included a photo of our dog and her biggest fan for your mid week pick me up ❤️

Fledglings are about. Please don’t kidnap them. They look helpless but are looked after by their parents. Keep your cat indoors.

Please make sure that you dispose of these tests somewhere that none of your pets can get into. We all know how dogs and puppies like to get into everything! Stay safe everyone ❤️

SPCA is urging pet owners to take extra precautions when using or disposing of used Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs), as some may contain a substance that can be toxic to animals.

Warning to all pupper owners. Karaka trees are more common in coastal areas

WARNING on Karaka berries and their seeds – HIGHLY TOXIC TO DOGS.

Karaka trees (Corynocarpus laevigatus) are native to New Zealand and are prevalent in many parks and forest areas. The berry kernels, however, contain a virulent alkaloid poison, named Karakin and various other toxic nitropropanoyl glucopyranoses (NPGs) that are yet to be fully described in terms of their individual effects on dogs and humans.

Most warnings online will show only photos of the berries, brightly coloured and hard to miss. In reality, it is hardly ever these bright yellow/orange/green berries (labelled 1 and 2) that you will see on the ground, but the rotting or decaying outer husks (labelled 3 and 4). These can sometimes be partially covered in some remaining orange flesh, but more often than not they look very dry and seemingly dead.

The powerful neurotoxins are in fact contained in the inner kernel/seed, shown here (label 5) inside the soft outer husk, and at label 6, removed from the husk. Even when the outer husks seem dry and old, the toxin will still remain strong. The outer husk is very thin and can easily be chewed through by a small dog.

If your dog ingests ANY part of a Karaka berry, fleshy fruit, husk or seed, take them to a Veterinarian immediately and without delay. If taken soon enough, the dog can be made to vomit and hopefully the effects reduced.

Hopefully these images will help dog owners to identify the husks on the ground, as well as the fleshy fruit that most people associate with toxicity.

I’m always so happy to see the ongoing success of owners and their floofy companions after puppy class and how they put what they have learnt into action. This week I received an awesome video from Ilaria showing how Dixie is ready to greet the fam over Christmas with her perfect paw bump! Great work guys! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🐶❤️❤️❤️❤️
