🐕 National Pet Obesity Awareness Day - Oct 14! A gentle reminder today: keeping your dog at a healthy weight makes a big difference to their energy, joints and long-term health. If you're ever unsure what a healthy weight looks like for your dog, your vet is the best person to ask. In the meantime, training (with us!) is a great way to keep them active and engaged! 🐾

FYI

🐍 Snake season is a critical time for our furry friends. Do you know the warning signs of a snake bite?

🚨You've probably noticed it already - Corkscrew W**d is widespread on the grounds and around Queanbeyan right now. As it dries off, it throws sharp, twisting seeds that can burrow into dogs' paws, ears and coats, sometimes needing vet attention to remove.

A few things to know:
🌱 The seeds spread easily via animals and machinery, seeding the ground again for next year
🪮Gently brush off or pull out any seeds you find straight away (don’t leave it in and let it dig deeper)
♥️What we're doing: We're getting a quote for spraying the QDDTC grounds to help manage it.

What you can do: Check your dog's paws, ears and coat thoroughly after walks and training, and see your vet if you notice swelling, limping or excessive licking.

Stay safe out there! 🐾

🖤 QDDTC is celebrating National Black Dog Day! A day to bring a bit of extra awareness to our gorgeous black-coated dogs. Black dogs can get overlooked in shelters - old superstitions, the "intimidating" stereotype, and honestly, they're just harder to photograph well. None of that has anything to do with who they actually are.

But the truth is, we love and advocate for our black dogs every single day, not just today. Here's a few of QDDTC's absolute stunners doing what they do best. 📸🖤

Got a black dog yourself? Show them off in the comments - let's see those beautiful dark coats! 🐾

🐾 Tongue Out Tuesday! 😋👅 That nose lick isn't just a quirky habit …just like us humans, it's all about context!
😊 Before a treat -> anticipation
😰 New or tense situation -> a calming signal
🌡️ Hot day or post-exercise -> cooling off, helps scent
😌 Mid-training -> processing, thinking

Next time you catch the lick, take a look around -> what's your dog telling you? 🐕💭 tongue out photos welcome in the comments below!

That "I'd follow you anywhere" look 🥹 Tell us …where's the one place your dog would follow you to the ends of the earth for? The park? The kitchen? The car (even if you're just going to the shops)? 😅
