🌀 Help With Large Animal Management After TC Alfred 🌀

In the aftermath of Tropical Cyclone Alfred, we know many livestock and horse owners will be facing difficult challenges with escaped, trapped or injured animals.

If required, we can provide assistance with:

✅ Horse and livestock containment and capture
✅ Emergency large animal euthanasia (fully insured, licensed, experienced)
✅ Other large animal emergencies

❗Where an animal is injured please contact your vet first to seek their advice before contacting us.

If you're struggling with your animals and need some professional support - or just some advice - please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help during this challenging time.

If you need us to provide direct assistance:

💬 SMS (only) 0478 790 480 including your location and details of your emergency and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

If you just need some free advice:

✉️ Email (only) [email protected] and we'll respond as soon as we're able to.

Remember, you can also contact the SES on 132 500 for help or Triple Zero 000 if anyone's life is in danger.

Save these contact details now in case you need them, and in the meantime check out our blog post on keeping your dogs and horses safe and happy during extreme weather events at https://www.padfoot.com.au/the-padfoot-way/cyclone-preparation-keeping-your-animals-safe-and-happy-during-extreme-weather
