From Jimmy’s lovely owners❤️
He was the bravest boy yesterday

❤️ JIMMY JIMBAROO SAVED A LIFE TODAY! 🙏🩸

Our darling Jimmy did something truly special today. He donated blood to help save the life of a Boxer who is undergoing lifesaving surgery ❤️

As always, Jimmy was an absolute superstar. No fuss, no drama, just our beautiful boy taking everything in his stride.

I know there are differing opinions about allowing greyhounds to donate blood, but we have complete trust in our vet, Dr Raj Wicks The Dog Clinic Hobart, and his experience with greyhounds. After careful consideration, we made the decision to allow Jimmy to become a donor.

Another important consideration for us was this: if our Jimmy ever needed a lifesaving blood transfusion, I would hope that someone would be willing to do the same for him. ❤️

I’m happy to report that the donation hasn’t fazed him in the slightest. He happily jumped in and out of the car both on the way to and from the vet, completely unfazed by the whole experience.

Greyhounds are particularly valued as blood donors because many have the universal donor blood type, and their size allows them to donate a larger volume. Our 40kg Jimmy donated an incredible 500ml of blood today. 🩸🙏

And what did he do afterwards? Just carried on being Jimmy Jimbaroo — our sweet, gentle, perfectly calm and relaxed boy. ❤️

We are so incredibly proud of you, darling Jimmy. You may never know just how much your gift means, but today you helped give another dog the chance of life.

The goodest boy, with the biggest heart. 🥹❤️🐾

🎆🐾 Fireworks & Furry Friends 🐾🎆
Fireworks can be exciting for us, but they can be stressful and even dangerous for our pets. Loud noises, flashing lights, and crowds can trigger fear and anxiety in dogs, cats, and other animals.
Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and calm during fireworks:
🛏️Keep pets indoors in a quiet, comfortable space.
🪟Close windows, curtains, and doors to reduce noise.
⚽Provide a favorite toy, blanket, or safe space.
🌃Avoid leaving pets outside unattended.
🫂Stay calm yourself, your pets often take cues from you.
Remember: if your pet has severe anxiety, talk to your veterinarian about safe ways to help them cope. 🐶🐱💛

🚨HEAT WAVE WARNING🚨
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe heatwave warning for Tasmania's east coast and south-east, with Hobart on track for a record run of warm October days.

Essential Safety Rules for dogs:

• Pavement test: Press your hand to the ground for 5 to 7 seconds; if it is too hot for you, it will burn your dog's paws.
• Hydration: Set out multiple bowls of fresh water and add ice blocks.
• Shade and airflow: Make sure outdoor areas have deep shade and good breeze, or bring your dog into an air-conditioned room.

Signs of Heatstroke

Watch closely for these warning signs:
• Heavy or extreme panting
• Bright red or brick-red gums
• Excessive drooling or thick saliva
• Weakness, stumbling, or shaking
