Do the right thing by your cat and the community

Image
 A very important thing that cat owners can do is to have their cats desexed, before they reach puberty and can reproduce (pre-pubertal desexing or PPD). PPD has health and welfare benefits for the individual cat and can help reduce the number of unwanted and homeless cats in Australia.  While it’s uncommon to find an undesexed dog in most Australian communities these days, undesexed cats are far more common and present a huge welfare concern. Fortunately, the science is clear about the benefits of desexing and, especially, the benefits of desexing cats before puberty.  Read More: https://www.rspca.org.au/blog/2021/do-right-thing-your-cat-and-community

Is your dog anxious when you're not at home?

Image
 With many of us alternating between working from home and in the office due to the pandemic, it’s important to remember that these changes to routines can be stressful or disruptive for our animal family.

Here are our top tips on how to recognise and manage your dog’s anxiety when you’re not at home - and as always, if you have any questions, we recommend getting in touch with your vet for advice.

10 Most Profitable Pet Business Ventures to Start Today

Image
 Hi all, It is amazing to see so many dogs and cats with their owners whenever you are out in the evening or morning. I am an animal lover and have two dogs at home. So, I noticed after the pandemic that the number of dogs increased in my neighbourhood and the aged couple who live next door were struggling to go to the vet because of social distancing. I realised the need for a mobile vet clinic in my area and checked with my vet if we would like to start a mobile business with me. We are now covering three to four neighbourhoods and making great returns. You can also start a pet venture by reading the article shared below.  https://www.business2sell.com.au/blogs/evaluation/most-profitable-pet-business-ventures-to-start-today

Importance of dental health

Image
 Just like humans, our companion animals (pets) need regular and consistent dental care – not just to protect from disease but also to make sure their teeth stay healthy and functional for as long as possible. Dental disease is the most common health condition affecting pets, with 70% of cats and 80% of dogs experiencing some level of dental disease by the time they are three years of age. It’s important to take care of your pet’s teeth at home, but they also need regular check-ups with a veterinarian to stay on top of their dental health.

 If you’re a new puppy parent, socialising your puppy is crucial. Socialising is not just about getting your pup used to people and other dogs, but also making sure that they have lots of different and positive experiences that will help them grow into happy and confident adults. The basics There is what’s called a ‘critical socialisation period’ for puppies, which is when they’re between about 4 and 16 weeks old. This is the period where it’s most important to give your canine friend positive and varied experiences (including different sights, sounds, surfaces, smells and skills) that will help them respond well to these experiences when they’re older.
