Jip—those puppy-dog eyes are hard to resist! However overfeeding your dog as a way of showing affection can lead to obesity and serious health issues.

True love is feeding them right! With Pawsome Raw, you can give your dog meals packed with real, nutrient-rich ingredients that satisfy their needs without the empty calories. 🥩

🍖 Show love through proper nutrition, not extra portions.

Let’s help our pets live their healthiest, happiest lives!

For Danielle and her team of volunteers at Vaalpets, it’s not only about rehoming abandoned or surrendered dogs, but also about reaching out to the community! They believe that they must help the community to better understand their pets and know how to care for them.

With the recent rains in the area, ticks and fleas have been flourishing, and there seems to be an influx of tick-bite fever. This was part of the reason why Vaalpets had an outreach day in Bophelong, a township close to Vanderbijlpark, on Thursday 16 January. All dogs that were brought in were given free tick and flea treatment and dewormed, choke chains and spike collars were removed and replaced with humane collars and leashes. Thanks to contributors and donors, they were also able to hand out some dog food, fresh pet mince, dog blankets, and pillows. This outreach was only the first of several outreach days that Vaalpets will be doing throughout the year.

Thank you to every one of the supporters for making outreaches like these possible.

Would you like to contribute to their cause and help make these dogs’ lives a little bit better? Do this by either a monetary contribution and donations, or by becoming a Vaalpets volunteer.

For monetary contributions (to be used for tick and flea treatments, inoculations, etc.), please use the following banking details:

Account holder: Vaalpets
Bank: Standard Bank
Type of account: Cheque
Account number: 026554933
Reference: Helping

Please send proof of payment to [email protected]

If you live in the Vaal and would like to find out how you can become a volunteer, please send a message to [email protected] and they’ll get back to you asap.

Please help Vaalpets to help them!

Do you see aggression between your cats when one returns from a trip to the vet? This is a common issue for cat owners.

👉 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻:

𝙎𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩: Your cat has been in a different environment, so to the cats left behind, they smell completely different. Animals use scent much more than sight compared to humans, so to them, a completely different cat has joined the household!

𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙍𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚:The normal daily routine has been completely disrupted when a cat leaves the home on a trip to the vet. The cats left behind can experience stress from the change and the missing house mate. The stress may culminate in them lashing out when the cat returns and they may direct their aggression towards them on return.

𝘾𝙖𝙩 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙧: Sometimes the sight of the cat carrier can be very stressful for cats. Especially if they only usually see it when it precedes a stressful experience, such a vet trip.

Next week we will look at ways to lessen this type of behaviour.
