🦎🌍 Happy World Reptile Day! 🌍🦎
Today we’re celebrating all things scaly, slithery, shelled, and spectacular.

Whether you share your home with a curious gecko, a chilled‑out beardie, a blue tongue lizard, or a turtle today is all about appreciating the amazing reptiles who make our world so fascinating.

💚 Show us your reptile family!
Post a photo of your scaly sidekick in the comments — cute poses, dramatic basking, we want to see them all.

A few reptile‑care reminders while we celebrate:
• Keep habitats warm, clean, and species‑appropriate
• Offer safe hides and climbing spots
• Provide correct UVB lighting
• Feed a balanced diet suited to your reptile’s needs
• Book regular health checks — reptiles hide illness well

Let’s give our reptile companions the spotlight they deserve today. Drop your photos below and help us fill the comments with scales, shells, and smiles. 🐍🦎🐢💚

🐱🌅 Keeping Your Cat Safe Outdoors 🌅🐱
If your cat enjoys a bit of outdoor exploring, a few simple precautions can help keep them safe and out of trouble.

🌄 Be mindful of dusk & dawn
These are peak roaming times, and we see a noticeable increase in cat fights, bite wounds, and abscesses from neighbourhood scuffles. Keeping cats in during these hours can help avoid injuries.

🐦 Wildlife awareness
A bell on the collar or supervised outdoor time can help protect local birds and lizards.

💛 Microchip & ID tags
Essential for any cat who might slip outside — especially if they get spooked.

🌱 Check for garden hazards
Lilies, slug bait, fertilisers, and some sprays can be dangerous for curious cats.

🦟 Parasite protection
Outdoor time means more exposure to fleas and worms — regular prevention is key.

🏡 Indoor enrichment helps too
Window perches, toys, climbing spaces, and cosy hideaways keep indoor cats happy and stimulated.

Every cat is different — the goal is simply to keep them safe, healthy, and enjoying life in a way that suits them. If you’d like personalised advice for your feline friend, our team is always happy to help. 💚🐾

🐾 Do you know what to do if you have a pet emergency? ❤️‍🩹
Your chance to WIN a pet first kit!

Today our team got together for a CPR training and drills, as when an emergency happens, having the confidence to know what to do can make all the difference.
A big thank you to our nurse Tania who ran the session after completing her RECOVER CPR certification training.

Knowing some basic pet first aid and CPR can help you respond quickly while getting your pet to a vet. From choking and wounds, to heatstroke, poisoning or collapse, those first few minutes can be incredibly important.

To help our pet-loving community be a little more prepared, we’re giving you the chance to WIN a Pet First Aid Kit! 🎁🐶🐱

Miso gives her seal of approval.
