Happy Easter everyone!! We hope that you have a fabulous break with your furry and human loved ones.

This is your friendly annual reminder that dogs have no respect for boxes or foil wrapping, so keep your Easter Eggs well out of reach. Also no Hot Cross Buns for dogs (sultana/raisin toxicity) and please avoid feeding them the delicious fatty bits from the roast - lovely at the time, but potential for pancreatitis later!

Did you know that Tasmania has been free of hydatid disease in dogs since 1996?
Although infected dogs rarely show symptoms of being unwell, if passed to humans, the disease can be fatal!

To help us keep hydatid disease out, any dogs entering Tasmania must be treated with a dog worming product containing the active ingredient praziquantel, at a dose of rate of 5mg/kg body weight, within 14 days before entering Tasmania.
