Media coverage of fires, floods and other disasters always speaks of “livestock losses”. The lives of tens of thousands of animals reduced to financial assets.

But they were more than “stock”. They were individuals.

Individuals who were trapped and terrified. Individuals who suffered.

We’re so sorry.
We see you.

Ruby:
Okay everyone, today is a rainbows and unicorns kind of day.

Peggy:
It’s also mud, life’s curveballs, and the occasional meltdown.

Ruby:
I’m not ignoring all that I’m just choosing to look the other way.

Molly:
Rainbows don’t show up without storms Rubes

Peggy:
Positive vibes are great, but the yucky bits are part of the sparkle.

Ruby:
So… the storm is part of the sparkle?

Molly:
Exactly. Unicorns may fart, but friends stop you floating off into fantasy land.

Give us a ❤️ for these three colourful friends

Good to see laws finally matching what is needed for animal welfare

There's absolutely no excuse for animal cruelty in NSW - so we're tightening our laws to better protect all creatures great and small.

As part of the most comprehensive reforms to the our animal welfare laws in years, anyone who leaves pets in hot cars will soon face new and tougher penalties for their actions.

Cars can reach up to 73 degrees inside on a hot summer’s day, and cracking the window or parking in the shade is not sufficient to protect pets from overheating.

On top of this, we're also outlawing painful and cruel prong collars and increasing penalties for people who engage in animal cruelty.

Since coming to Government we've been working hard to protect pets from harm in NSW, and these latest reforms are the next step in that important mission.

Please adopt a pet when you are considering getting a new family member.

Contact us for any behavioural support or to help you transition your new family member into your family.

Australia is facing its most severe pet adoption downturn on record, placing unprecedented strain on rescue centres and forcing many healthy animals to be euthanised.

Keep dogs inside, well secured and calm by closing blinds/curtains and windows during heavy rain or thunder.

If your dog has storm anxiety, keep stimulation (lights, sounds, touch) low. Try to be near, but not interact much, because when we reassure our dog, sometimes we create more anxiety. Act cool and calm, to set the tone, keep stimulus low and ensure they remain out of harms way.

⛈️Thunderstorm Forecast, Tues 23 Dec

🟠Severe storms possible about the NE of today.
Hazard: large hail, damaging wind gusts, local heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding.

With the Festive Season approaching fast, this is a gentle reminder to keep chocolate gifts out of range of dogs, and to be careful with new scents, make sure you always give your dog a place they can retreat to when burning scented candles and diffusing oils, and that they have access to fresh water 24/7.

Don’t forget to get them a special treat for being the best Pooch Pals ever!

Great to see dogs working in innovative ways. I hope their needs are well considered in hot days (heatstroke and paw pad burning issues are very real challenges for dogs in the middle of the day between 10am and 5pm)

We lost a beloved client today, one favourite Pooch Pal to ticks.

Please ensure you check your dog after each walk, use a Tick Preventative and clear low hanging branches and bushy areas, tall grass etc, as much as possible in your garden and yard area.

Please note the information in the link below, but also, buy a wart gun or tick freezing gun and please, always freeze the tick before removal. Ticks inject most of their poison upon removal, this goes for human treatment also.

If you suspect your dog, cat or pet is suffering from tick poisoning, you need to get help now. After hours? We're the tick paralysis experts.
