FAR BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY!

Posted by Dido Panagiotopoulos on Monday, January 7, 2013, In : Missing Pets 
It's a fact: the single greatest threat to a pet's life, is getting LOST!

In South Africa, 1 in 3 pets goes missing in its lifetime - that is a SHOCKING statistic!!! And without proper identification, 90% of them will never return home. And still owners do not have collars with tags on and do not microchip their pets! Even if your pet never leaves your home and garden, all it takes is for someone to leave an access gate or garage door open for a second... It could be the one of your friends or...

Alleviate your Dog's Separation Anxiety & Boredom

Posted by IMAGES AND INFORMATION taken from the Kong Website on Sunday, December 30, 2012, In : Holidays (with or without your Pet)

Separation anxiety almost always occurs within the first 20 minutes after you leave a dog alone. Give a stuffed dog KONG to your dog about five minutes before you leave. Having a stuffed KONG to explore is an effective way of redirecting your dog’s attention away from your leaving and will absorb your pet during this crucial time. Remember, the most anxious time for a dog is the 20-minute period after you leave — and keeping his attention focused on a KONG can really ease his anxiety.

SOS What about your Pets, In Case of Emergency?!

Posted by Dido Panagiotopoulos on Sunday, September 23, 2012, In : Holidays (with or without your Pet) 
If you have PAwsome furbabies and critters, you need to have safety strategies and plans in place to take care of your pets when you are unable to!!! You should have an IN CASE OF EMERGENCY (I.C.E.) card in your wallet/purse and glove compartment of your car at all times! Then, if you are in an accident, get ill, sustain an injury or are incapacitated, and are unable to speak for yourself, someone can at least contact your relevant pet guardians and pet carers, to alert them that your pets ar...

D.I.N.O.S. Dogs in Need of Space

Posted by Dido Panagiotopoulos on Friday, September 21, 2012, In : Dog Walking 
Some dogs need space  
 
If you see a dog with a yellow ribbon on the leash this is a dog who needs some space. Please do not approach this dog or its people with your dog. They are indicating that their dog cannot be near other dogs. How close is too close? Only the dog or his people know, so maintain distance or give them time to move out of your way.

There are many reasons why a dog may need space: 

Maybe he has health issues or is in training.
She may be a rescue dog being rehabilitated. The w...

Pet-friendly accommoadtion...

Posted by Dido Panagiotopoulos on Sunday, September 16, 2012,
"Dogs are welcome in this hotel. We've never had a dog that smoked in bed and set fire to the blankets. We've never had a dog that stole the towels, played the TV too loud or had a fight with his traveling companion. We've never had a dog that got drunk and broke up the furniture. So, if your dog can vouch for you, you're welcome, too!" 

Here are just some of the holidays our furbabies have been on
