While the risk of H5 bird flu in pets is extremely low, it's best to take precautions.

If you're out walking your dog or spending time outdoors:

✅Keep dogs on a lead in areas with native wildlife
✅ Don't allow pets to investigate or eat dead animals
✅Stop cats from roaming and hunting wildlife

These simple actions help protect pets, wildlife and curbs the spread of disease.

If you suspect H5 bird flu in birds, mammals, poultry or other captive birds, report it immediately by calling the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888 or to DEECA online.

Seeking an excellent home for Daisy

I have an older client with a 2yo black Labrador (desexed F) named Daisy.

Due to some mobility issues, Daisy's owner is not able to give her the exercise and stimulation she needs and is very sadly looking to find this lovely girl a new home.

Daisy has a couple of quirks, which I'd be happy to discuss with genuinely interested parties.

Best suited to a home where she will receive consistent, assertive leadership.

Please message me to express interest.

Cheers,
Deb

What a cute little sweetheart Pandora is ❤️

Pandora is an 8wo Border Collie puppy, just welcomed into her new home.

She learned some basic obedience, incorporating body language and hand signals, and her human mummy gained valuable information on raising a puppy.

⚠️ WARNING – PAPP Poison in Use ⚠️

PAPP (fox bait poison) has been located around the Barwon Heads Bluff area in the last couple of weeks. Extreme caution should be used when walking dogs in the area. 🐾

⚠️ Baits are highly toxic if ingested
⚠️ Can be moved by wildlife
⚠️ Areas are usually signposted, but pets can still find them

Fred was one of the lucky ones—after going for a walk in the area, he collapsed and was rushed to our emergency team. Thankfully, the antidote was administered in time, and after responding quickly, Fred is back home and recovering well

👉 If you suspect your pet has ingested a bait or is showing unusual symptoms, seek veterinary attention immediately. Early intervention can save lives

It's important to thoroughly research a breed to ensure you find the most suitable dog for your family or living situation.

An animal sanctuary is receiving up to five phone calls a day from dog owners asking, "Can you take my Maremma?" as they find the bundles of fluff become large dogs needing lots of room and discipline.
