Unfortunately for the foreseeable future I won't be taking on any new individual pet consultations. I am happy to take on new pet food, pet treat and pet supplement companies however for development and any other work. Thank you.

While out of action Emma from Training Tails has been helping out with exercising Lexi. At the same time she has also been teaching her some much needed manners and now we are in town, how to walk nicely on a lead. I can't recommend her enough if you are in the Tauranga area for dog walking and training.

A question that came via one of my pet food clients recently is can you compare the nutrient values on the label of pet foods with AAFCO requirements? The answer is no. AAFCO requirements are on a dry matter basis and as I have previously discussed values on labels are on an as fed basis. Even if you convert these to a dry matter value you can still not necessarily compare them due to the complexities of the AAFCO standards, which are based on a pet food with certain energy content.

It's been a busy few months moving house and getting all 6 animals adjusted to their new city life! They are all pretty relaxed now & the cats are finally all braving the outside world!

This is one of my new clients Hearty who is 7 today (happy birthday Hearty!). She has been with her owners for around 3 years. Hearty is a retired Greyhound and her race name was Bigtime Hearty. Although Hearty was nervous when her owners got her, she now loves pats, people, food, sleep, walks and runs. Such a gorgeous girl!

They will be discussing various topics related to our furry friends, making it a fantastic evening for anyone interested in learning more about canines.

The dog’s sense of taste is less refined than humans, which can be seen by the fact dogs only have approximately 1700 taste buds on the tongue whereas humans have approximately 9000.
