Muzzle To Muscle

21/03/2025

Update 9/05
After months of discussions and exploring all options, I have decided not to proceed with reopening Muzzle to Muscle.

It might be something I come back to in the future, but for now it is time for a break. Thank you all again for your support.

Hi everyone,

Muzzle to Muscle is closing the Ingham Road Centre and moving, effective immediately.

With our lease recently expiring, we have chosen to move to an exciting new (not far from current) location. We truly apologise for the short notice as we are still working through many details. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time while we confirm final details.

Our team will make contact with you in the coming weeks.We can't wait to welcome you and your dogs to our new home. Stay tuned for more updates. 🙂

If you have any questions or queries in the meantime, please contact us on [email protected]

With gratitude,
Chloe

Reminder that the centre will be closed for Christmas from this Friday!

Tomorrow will be my last admin day as Thursday is fully booked from 8am-5pm. So if you need to get in contact with me or are waiting to hear back from me, tomorrow's the day. :) After that I will be enjoying time with family and trying not to work!

🎄 Christmas Hours 🎄

The centre will be closed from Friday 20th December - Friday 3rd January.

I will have some appointments available for pre-existing clients only during this time but these will be limited and scheduled around my time at the emergency vet hospital.

Clients will be contacted to either reschedule or cancel appointments that fall during the period we are closed. :)

We are very proud to announce that NQ CARE will open its doors to the pets of Townsville on Friday 10th January 2025 from 3pm!

It has taken months of hard work behind the scenes and we wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to the Townsville community for your words of support to date, we appreciate it very much and are very excited for the next 36 busy days before the hospital opens its doors!

We will be having a Public Open Day on Sunday 5th January for the pet owners of Townsville to come and join us for a celebratory BBQ and visit the hospital before it opens - more details will follow on our FB and Instagram pages but make sure that you save the date now!

Just a quick PSA to please be careful when exercising your dogs in this hot weather!

I have seen a lot of posts in community pages about being careful to avoid burnt paws. I have never seen paws burnt from walking on bitumen. That's not to say it doesn't happen but that it is not as common as the real threat that routinely kills dogs, heat stroke.

Please have a look at the pictures (sourced from Vets Now - a UK pet emergency service) and familarise yourself with the signs of heat stroke. Avoid making or letting your dog exert themselves in hot weather. If your dog is overweight, brachycephalic or has certain health conditions (such as laryngeal paralysis), exercise even greater caution.

Heat stroke isn't always just a case of we cool the dog down and they're fine. High body temperatures can result in multiple organ failure and death. It's not even technically summer yet and this has already been occurring. It is absolutely heart breaking for the dogs and for the owners who are often well intentioned loving pet owners just trying to enjoy the outdoors with their dog.

If your dog is showing signs of heat stroke, begin active cooling immediately by wetting them with a hose and then place them in the air conditioned car while you transport them to your nearest emergency vet for triage.
