Puppy School

Many people get all they need via TikTok... or so they think!

Consistently, little things are missed with their pups, that cause unwanted behaviours as their pup get older.

Please understand I'm not knocking TkTok dog trainers, Moms, Dads and or the Children don't recieve the help they need from a video clip, not with the little things, when they can be, inside or outside of a class.

Our passion is helping you and your dog, every person and pup, gets my personal touch, in and out of every lesson.

Do it Right the First Time. NO REGRETS!

Tooth resorption is a progressive, painful condition where a tooth begins to break down from the inside out. The body starts absorbing the tooth’s structure — including the root — leading to discomfort, inflammation, and eventually tooth loss.

It’s most common in cats but can occur in dogs too.

PERIODONTAL DISEASE IN PETS
The Silent Threat Behind Your Pet’s Smile

What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue and destroys the bone that supports your pet’s teeth. It starts with plaque buildup and progresses silently — often without any obvious signs until it’s advanced.

Saul’s story is one of courage, resilience, and the power of rehabilitation. After undergoing a hip resection to remove the damaged ball of his hip joint, he worked hard through his initial recovery. Just as he was regaining strength, he faced another challenge: a femoral neck fracture on his opposite hind limb.

Despite these setbacks, Saul is making remarkable progress. While his rehabilitation is ongoing, he is confidently using both hind limbs, demonstrating the effectiveness of therapeutic exercise and the incredible dedication of his mom. Her consistency, patience, and support have been pivotal in every step of his recovery.

Saul’s journey highlights the resilience of dogs and the critical role of structured rehabilitation. He is living proof that, with determination, proper care, and a devoted owner, pets can overcome even the most daunting challenges.

👉 If your pet is facing similar obstacles, contact Natasha at Randpark Ridge Veterinary Hospital on 011 678 7526 to learn how rehabilitation can help them regain strength, mobility, and confidence.

Let's Talk:

Thunderstorms / Fireworks:

A few great tips to help you, help your dog!

1. In many cases speaking to your vet for a medication can help, this also depends on your dog after all everyone does have their own association, experience and most importantly - personality.

2. Creating a safe space, this often would be a place or area your dog runs too, it would be an area that almost guards against the vibrations and sound of whats happening outside.

I personally have a dog that lays on the bed and I place a blanket over her entirely, this for her is safe. In a case like this it can be a memory of moms womb.

For many having a crate available, placing a blanket over it to create a darker barrier helps too - many pups like under tables, beds etc.

3. Help your dog, you are absolutely allowed to comfort your dog, you don't want to over do it though as your energy in helping can make things worse.

4. There are a few other options such as thunder jackets, blankets and beds that can help.

5. Classical music, White noise machines or even a fan can help calm your dog.

Most importantly, we love our dogs, try to stay their pilar, try not to place your concern on them, your anxiety will make things worse.
