🐾 Meet Jellybean – Our Sweetest Little Fighter 🐱✨⁠

Jellybean’s story is as big as her personality. At just 3 months old, she was found pregnant and alone at the Awakeri Hot Springs. Thankfully, she was rescued, spayed, and came into our care soon after.⁠

Let’s just say… Miss Fiesty didn’t make it easy at first! There was hissing, spitting, and even a bold escape attempt that needed Daniel called in for backup. But with time (and a lot of patience), Jellybean has blossomed into a gentle, affectionate little cat.⁠

She earned her name thanks to Alyssa- who was the first to sneak in a pat without getting swiped. These days, Jellybean loves soft pats, sneaky smooches, and curling up for naps in the cattery.⁠

Like many former strays, she just needs a little space and time to build trust. But once you’re “her person,” you’ll have a loyal little mate for life.⁠

✅ Great with other cats⁠
✅ Eats both wet and dry food⁠
✅ Likely to become your night-time snuggler and daytime rodent patrol⁠

Jellybean comes with:⁠
✨ 10 free nights at Canine & Co (for future cattery stays)⁠
✨ A starter bag of biscuits⁠

If you think you could be her forever home, get in touch! 💛⁠

🎉 This month we’re celebrating two absolute legends from both sides of the Social Club paddocks:⁠

🌟 Izzie – Large Dog Social Club⁠
After taking a break for surgery recovery, Izzie is back and better than ever! She’s slotted straight back into the pack like she never left – full of confidence, charm, and of course, keeping her old flame Jock on his toes 💛⁠

🌟 Max – Small Dog Social Club⁠
Chosen by Alyssa, Max is 14 years young and still full of life! He happily attends Social Club each week alongside his younger brother Hank and best buddy Izzie.⁠

Traveling all the way from Pukehina, Max confidently trots in, makes himself at home, and patiently waits on the couch when it’s time to head out. Despite his age, he’s still actively playing all day long and never strays far from Hank’s side.⁠

We absolutely love having both Izzie and Max as part of our Social Club crew – they’re total legends!⁠

🐾 Why We Love the Small Dog Social Club 🐶💛⁠

Not every dog loves big, boisterous playgroups – and that’s exactly why we created our Small Dog Social Club.⁠

This space is all about small dogs, big fun, and plenty of chill time too.⁠

What makes it special?⁠
✔️ A fully fenced, farm-style paddock just for the smalls⁠
✔️ A sandpit for digging and zoomies⁠
✔️ Shady areas and a covered space for rainy days⁠
✔️ Couches galore for lounging between play sessions⁠
✔️ Small group sizes for safety and individual attention⁠
✔️ Staff who understand small dog body language and confidence building⁠

Whether your dog’s a social butterfly or still finding their feet, we focus on confidence, manners, and positive play – all at their own pace.⁠

📅 Small Dog Social Club runs on Tuesdays⁠
📩 Applications for Term 3 are open now!⁠

Spaces are limited and fill quickly – head to canineandco.co.nz/social-club to apply and secure your dog’s spot.

🐾 Winter Wellness Tips for Your Dog ❄️
Cold mornings, muddy paws, and shorter days can take a toll on our pups too. Here are a few simple ways to keep your dog happy and healthy this winter:

🧼 Keep them clean & dry
Wet fur can lead to skin issues. Dry them off after walks and consider booking regular grooms to keep their coat fresh and mat-free.

🔥 Create a cosy space
Make sure your dog has a warm, dry spot to rest — especially older dogs who may feel the cold in their joints.

🍲 Nourish from within
Cold weather can affect digestion and immunity. Bone broth, omega oils, and whole food supplements can help support gut and joint health.

🐕 Keep moving
Even on rainy days, mental and physical exercise is key! Puzzle toys, scent games, or a day at Social Club can help burn energy without needing long outdoor walks.

💛 Check their paws
Wet ground, cold concrete, and gravel can cause cracked or sore paw pads. Keep an eye out and use a balm if needed.

Got questions or need help choosing winter-friendly products? Pop into the office or send us a message — we’re here to help!
