How does your dog travel in the car?  Many of us are familiar with the common sight of seeing dogs sitting on drivers laps with their heads hanging out of the window.  Many are responsible for doing this themselves.  Did you know that last year in one month alone 170 people were fined more than $400 a piece for this breach of the law. Legislation for dogs in cars stipulates that motorists must not drive a vehicle with an animal on their lap or preventing them from having proper control of the ...

Many of you may have seen the posters, the tweets and Facebook updates about Rusty, the Welsh Springer Spaniel who has been missing since NYE.

Over the course of two weeks, Rusty has been sighted several times in the Seafroth and Balgowlah areas and we are still urging and asking people to keep a look out for him and not to give up.

Rusty's sad story has had our staff thinking. What if we could GPS track our dogs? Well, we researched and apparently we can!!!

Tick season appears to be heading towards us, and this year its early!

Already in the last 3 days our groomers have found 5 paralysis ticks upon dogs who have come into our grooming salon.

This is a timely reminder that you should check your dogs all year around for these nasty little critters.  Our dogs usually have longer coats throughout the winter months so it is even more important that you remain vigilent, especially if your dog has been to areas that are well known for ticks.

Dont want your dogs coat to go too short in winter??

During the winter months many Grooming clients ask us not to clip their dogs too short.  We love to do longer clips on our furry friends, however with that comes much more responsibility for our pets owners.

Scooby Dooz Melbourne Cup Races

This years Races were a huge success.  Staff and owners enjoyed an afternoon of Melbourne cup racing in a different style.

Dogs were entered and put into groups according to size and speed.  Each heat did a quick dash across the daycare to their owners or other staff members.  The winners of each heat were then placed into the finals.

And the winners were.....
