Introducing the new Beeztees South Africa Inflatable Dog Collar!

A soft, comfortable collar that can be used when recovering from surgery, a wound or other injury. A great alternative to the plastic cone that still prevents your pup from licking their wound. It also does not scrape walls, furniture or legs when your pet passes by.

Easy to inflate and available in sizes XS to XL.

26/10/2022

When it's rainy outside, we stay entertained with the Beeztees South Africa Snuffle Mat. 🧠🧩

This snuffle mat can be used to hide your puppy’s favourite food or treats in.

The colourful strings feel extra soft on your puppy’s nose and are all different lengths, which encourages your pup to use their paws and snout to find their hidden rewards.

A playful way to stimulate your dog’s mental alertness and give their brain some exercise.

🐾 MODEL CALL & NEW WORK ✨

Message from emmaobrien.com:
Hi DMs I'm very excited to announce that my work will, once again, be exhibited at FotoZA Gallery in April next year.
Inspired by my now very elderly muse, Jane, I've decided to shoot a new body of work featuring senior dogs. Jane turned 13 in September which is pretty impressive for a big dog, so of course I've kicked the project off with portraits of her.
I'm in need of more models.
If you have a senior dog (aged 8 years and over) that you'd like me to include in the project, please pop me an email - [email protected] - for details.
Please note that there will be a shoot fee to participate and the majority of the shoots will take place at my Centurion studio or FotoZA in Joburg. I will be doing a Cape Town leg for the shoots in early 2023 - dates TBC.
I can't wait to get started!

Like anything in life you certainly pay for what you get.

Hello to healthy poos, a happier gut, no blockages from excessive amounts of bone and no more diarrhoea from excessive amounts of organ meat or grain or grain-fed meat variants). Pellets a.k.a. kibble (all the more so if grain based) = corn, soy, wheat = hard to digest cheap filler = no good! Orders for Cape Town & surrounding towns (or WhatsApp me for other cities weblink):

DOG OWNERS BEWARE ! Today we had to put our beautiful chocolate Labrador, Chad, to sleep, after he ate something toxic on the beach the day before the 2nd flood. He has been fighting for his life but lost the fight today. 😭 The vet confirmed there have been other cases of dogs dying of liver toxicity since the floods. The waste on our beaches is toxic! We don’t want any other family to go through this heartbreak. 💔😭
- Angela Allan

A separate note from the post above Ethekwini beaches have been and remain closed for swimming and fishing due to high ecoli levels since the last floods in April. People should avoid the shoreline as well and really watch that their pets do not eat anything on the beach while out on walks. This particular tragic incident occurred in Umdloti but there has been toxic waste streaming into the ocean all along the coastline.. If you have had no problems good on you but this is for anyone else who may not be so lucky.
Our thoughts are with Angela and her family during this very sad time and we thank her for wanting to help other families avoid having to go through the same tragic situation.

Hallo Dog Moms

I am a Pet Photographer based in Benoni. I do travel often.

I am passionate about dogs and have loads of patience 🤗.

All sessions are on location. I have a few set locations in the Gauteng area. Even for those that don't do well in public spaces.

Your dog doesn't need to have any special training however you do benefit a bit more if some basics are in place 😉

I have worked with a lot of breeds and all are welcome. Big or small.

Feel free to visit my fb page Whimsy Dreams Photography

For enquiries or bookings you can reach out to:
