General News

Grooming is not just about maintaining your dog’s level of cleanliness, and it is not just about keeping your dog good-looking. Grooming is about maintaining both your dog’s physical health as well as their appearance.

How much grooming a dog needs depends upon its age, breed and health. 

Congratulations to our November puppy graduate class.

Chewy – Groodle               Amber -Cavalier King Charles

Billy – Cavoodle                  Henry - Spoodle

Nutmeg – Border Collie       Apricot Jam – Jack Russell X

The “oodles” breed was a takeover in this class, but everyone socialised nicely.

Congratulations to Dr. Annie Tao & Nurse Bree on all the positive feedback they receive from their puppy classes.

These classes are available Tuesday evenings at Greensborough by appointment.

They all look quite dapper in their Graduation hats!

FACTS

• In Australia there are 9.2 million households.
• 5.7 million of these homes have a pet.
• 29% of these Australian homes have a cat.
• That means 2.7 million homes have a cat
• That averages 1.4 cats per cat home.
• For every 100 people there are 16 cats

You might think it is unlikely that the switch to daylight savings time could throw your cat or dog’s busy schedule - eat, sleep, eat, sleep – off kilter. 

But as it turns out, some animals are so in tune with their owners’ schedules, that the one-hour, clock forward, can cause some confusion.

Just like humans, animals have an internal clock that tells them when to eat, sleep and wake up.  Humans/Owners set their pets’ routines, e.g. your dog is accustomed to walking or being fed at a particular time of day, according to the clock. By changing this, the animal becomes confused.
