✨ Have regular monitoring of your dog’s condition
✨ Explore possible treatments and interventions to keep them comfortable and active

🎉 A huge congratulations to Chloe, who officially graduated last week and is now a Registered Veterinary Nurse! 🐾💚

We are so proud of all her hard work and dedication — such a fantastic achievement. 🌟

🐾 September is Responsible Dog Ownership Month! 🐾

That’s right — a whole month dedicated to celebrating pawsitive parenting and giving our four-legged family members the lives they deserve!

Owning a dog is more than belly rubs and tail wags — it’s a long-term commitment filled with love, learning (for you and your pup!), and a little drool. 🐶💛

This September, we’re hitting "paws" to reflect on what it really means to be a great dog parent.

✨ Here’s your ultimate checklist to providing your pup with the best life:

✅ Know the Commitment:
Dogs aren’t just for the weekend — they’re for life. Be ready for 10–15+ years of unconditional love (and some early morning walkies).

✅ Feed the Good Stuff:
Not all kibble is created equal! Choose nutritious food that suits your dog’s age, breed, and energy level. (Psst... Thrums own puppy and dog food’s got you covered.)

✅ Exercise & Engage:
A tired dog is a happy dog. Play fetch, go on adventures, or try brain-boosting puzzle toys. Your dog will love you for it.

✅ Vet Visits Aren’t Optional:
Keep up with check-ups, vaccines, and flea/tick treatments. Prevention = more playtime, less paw-blems.
(At Thrums, we have health plans for pets which allow you to spread the cost throughout the year of recommended treatments AND can include huge discounts and free of charge consultations!!)

✅ Train & Socialise:
Good dogs aren’t born, they’re trained! Teach cues, encourage play with other pups, and help your dog become a social superstar.

✅ Groom & Glow:
Baths, brushing, nail trims — it’s all part of keeping your pup healthy and handsome.

✅ Mind Your Manners in Public:
Lead up, clean up, and be considerate of other pet parents. We’re all in this dog park together.

✅ ID Tags & Microchips:
If your pup ever manages to escape, make sure they can be safely returned home.

✅ Pet Insurance:
Having a fully comprehensive, for life policy for your pup helps to give you peace of mind about the expenses, should your pup need extensive and/or ongoing veterinary care.
(Check out Pet Proactive - the pet insurers that Thrums are in partnership with for the great deals!!)

🐾 Let’s celebrate our pups this September by being the best dog parents we can be! 🐾
