Wear Your Shades Day 2024 Media Launch
18 October 2024 ๐
To mark the launch of South African Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind annual Wear Your Shades Shades Day campaign, they held an exclusive blindfolded screening of the film "Call of the Wild" at Sandton City in partnership with Ster-Kinekor and the film's director, Brett de Groot.
Call of the Wild captures the journey of a young blind girl, and her experience of the African bush through a โsound safariโ, which gave the guests a genuine sense of what itโs like to navigate the world without sight.

Should I adopt two puppies at the same time? โNo!
Most, if not all trainers and behaviourists would advise strongly against adopting two puppies from a breeder or a rescue. Why? Because we often see the fallout of this decision.
1๏ธโฃ Firstly it's hard work raising one puppy, let alone two. That's two pups to keep out of trouble and manage in the household.
2๏ธโฃ Two puppies often bond greatly with each other and less with the humans in the household. This will make training the dogs more difficult.
3๏ธโฃ It can also lead to over-reliance on each other and they find it very difficult to be apart, even for short periods.
4๏ธโฃ There is often competition over resources amongst litter mates and serious fights can breakout. Increase in hormones at the same time as they begin their adolescence means there are two dogs making impulsive decisions. Maintaining a happy household is difficult.
Most people buy two pups because they are busy and feel two will keep each other company. If you don't have the time for a pup, rather adopted an adult or senior dog.
โ Rescues often encourage people to adopt two pups rather than one. They are bursting at the seams and rehoming two puppies means less in the shelter. However, this is just a temporary solution. In 12 months' time, the owners will have to make a difficult decision whether to give up one dog if there are problems between the dogs.
โ If the breeder you are buying from allows you or even encourages you to take two.....run! Do not buy a pup from them.
โ
Ideally, wait until your first pup has reached adulthood before getting another pup.
๐ฅฐ If you have two pups of a similar age, next week we'll give you some tips to help combat potential problems.

Canine ... & Feline Genetic Testing. Why all the "Fuzz"?
The breeding of domesticated dogs has been in practice for thousands of years, however, the genetics behind the breeding has not been a factor until recently. Terms such as DNA, PCR and genetic health has been used more and more frequently over the last 5 years, but why it is needed has not always been widely understood. With genomic technologies becoming more relevant in the canine and feline world, it is important to shed some light on this complex but extremely interesting topic.
In this article, Inqaba Biotec ZooOmics talk about, "What is DNA?" "How are Health Issues Inherited?" "The Benefits of Applying the Knowledge."
READ IT HERE: โก https://welovepetssa.co.za/blogpost/canine-genetic-testing-why-all-the-fuzz
As a responsible pet owner, you should insist on seeing the health tests done by the breeder. The genetic health status of your canine or feline companion should be a priority and give you peace of mind.
DOGโS ARENโT PLOTTING TO DOMINATE US!
Full credit Dogs Disclosed
We hear it so often - โmy dog is dominantโ or โtrying to be the alphaโ or โI have to be the pack leader to show my dog whoโs in chargeโ.
Itโs so easy to attribute unwanted behaviour to these popular labels. Itโs easy to use what is often believed to be an โeducatedโ phrase that enables a belief of knowledge about dog behaviour.
The definition of dominance - dominant in the chain of command / occupying or being in a commanding or elevated position / having a controlling, prevailing, or powerful position in a social hierarchy.
Do we really believe this of our dogs in the context of our relationship with them?
Are dogs really trying to take over our homes and rule the world?
We control everything in their lives - what and when they eat, when they go out, their choices, where they sleep, who they interact with, their environment etc. and yet itโs still believed they are trying to dominate us.
Yes, dominance between dogs does exist, but not in the way that we have been led to believe.
It exists in certain situations or contexts, is fluid and may constantly change. Itโs not usually about using force but about one individual deferring to another.
Dogs know that we are not dogs and they donโt expect us to behave like other dogs.
Dogs need us to be their advocate, a source of security, of safety and a secure base from which they can navigate our world โ not a source of pain, fear, intimidation, force, competition and dominance.
The Husky breed commonly have a mutation on the RPGR gene which leads to an X-linked progressive retinal atrophy. As this is an X-linked recessive condition, male dogs are at higher risk of developing the disease. Affected dogs will exhibit degeneration of the rods followed by cone degeneration and complete retinal atrophy. Carrier females may display random patches of rod degeneration. This can be a fairly late-onset disease and therefore screening for the mutation can help a pet owner or breeder prepare for its onset.

Happy Monday ๐
Humans began the development of domesticated dog breeds, tens of thousands of years ago. These dog breeds were developed with certain favourable physical and behavioural characteristics in mind. Breeding for these favourable traits has resulted in โpure-bredโ animals with identifiable breed characteristics.
In this article Inqaba Biotec ZooOmics discusses the practice of linebreeding and inbreeding as a controversial topic, the difference between the two and the risks that these practices hold.

You want the best nutrition for your pet, so let's start by looking at how Raw and Kibble Diets stack up.
We'll start with Nutritional Value
โก Kibble contains highly processed ingredients, which can reduce the nutritional value. It commonly includes fillers such as corn, wheat, and soy, as well as artificial preservatives and additives.
โก Raw diets consist of fresh meats, bones, organs and vegetables, providing essential nutrients in their most natural and bio-available form. Naturally pure and free from artificial fillers, preservatives and additives.
If you are ready to make the switch to a raw diet, reach out to the qualified nutritionists at Pawsome Raw and they will be with you every step of the way.
