Why microchip?........ But my cat is an INDOOR cat ONLY! Each year thousands of lost and abandoned animals are taken in by humane societies, rescues and shelters across the country. Some of these animals never make it home because they can’t be identified. Microchipping offers pet owners the only truly permanent method of identifying your pet and linking the animal back to you, the owner. If you want to dramatically improve your pet’s chances of getting home fast and safe, implanting your pet with a microchip is your best option. Just because you are conscious of knowing that your cat is an indoor cat only, that does not mean that everyone that comes through your doors knows the same thing. eg. Burglars and kids
Help Tracey's walk for Breast Cancer make a difference
As you may know, our dear full time groomer, Tracey, has been off work recently following a double mastectomy for breast cancer. We are praying for a speedy and full recovery. We will keep you informed of her progress as the weeks go by. In the meantime, please consider donating to the Breast Cancer Mothers Day Classic Fundraiser, which, despite Tracey only having had her surgery 2 weeks ago, she is going to take part in ( albeit very slow.....no jogging of course). She has asked us to share this post for those who may wish to support her in her "walk". Many of you know Tracey very well having had her groom your little fluffies for over five years. WE LOVE YOU TRACEY XOXOXO

Vaccinate your puppies – a new strain of parvo has been found in Australia
If you did not see the news tonight, then you may not be aware of this new strain of the deadly Parvovirus that has recently emerged in Australia. We do not have much information yet, but this statement from the AVA is the most up to date information we have so far-> "A new form of the common and highly contagious canine parvovirus (CPV) has been discovered in Australia by researchers at the University of Adelaide. While the new strain, known as CPV-2c, is spreading around the world, until now there has been no confirmed evidence of its presence in Australia. However, according to the research, over the past two years confirmed cases of CPV-2c have occurred in South Australia and Victoria, with suspected cases also occurring in Queensland and Northern Territory. While more work needs to be done to understand the new strain, veterinarians need to be aware that CPV-2c is now in Australia and the research found that in most cases, in-clinic diagnostic tests have shown negative results in infected animals. Also, most of the cases reported have occurred in dogs already vaccinated against parvovirus, although the clinical signs are typically milder than in unvaccinated dogs. Until more is known, it’s important that dog owners continue to vaccinate for CPV, and take their dogs to the vet if they are unwell. Signs of CPV infection include some or all of the following: decreased appetite, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhoea. CPV has a high mortality rate. "

We’re not the only ones, either: As the Washington Post recently reported, dogs are also calmer and happier after they’ve heard a few songs. In a study recently published in the journal Physiology and Behavior, a team of researchers from the University of Glasgow in Scotland created five different playlists for the dogs. They found that dogs who listened to Reggae and Soft Rock had lower heart rates, lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and less behavioural issues like barking.

Maggie and Daisy are here tonight for their final puppy preschool. These 2 girls came from the same breeder in NSW. And what are the chances of both of them living in the same neighbourhood, let alone being here. Congratulations on your graduation ladies.
