RSPCA Pets at the Pub 2017 - Feb 26


The RSPCA Pets at the Pub is a family-friendly event which aims to promote dog-friendly venues where canines can join the fun.

It is being held monthly at different venues around Adelaide, with the next one at the National Wine Centre on Sunday 26th February.

National Wine Centre’s Chelsea Hopper says it’s a great way to raise funds and awareness for RSPCA which provides animal care and protection services across the country.

“The National Wine Centre supports various charities throughout the year and we have a few animal lovers in the building, so when the RSPCA approached us, we jumped straight on board as it’s an organisation close to our hearts,” Ms Hopper says.

“Not only is it a great cause, but it’s also about bringing people who have the same love for dogs together in a fun, social environment.”
There will be plenty of tasty treats to keep the canines well-behaved and humans will be able to indulge in food such as paella and fish and chips, while enjoying live music and entertainment on the terrace.

The event is expected to attract up to 300 people and their furbabies. All friendly and well-socialised dogs are welcome, and funds raised on the day will help RSPCA South Australia protect and care for all creatures great and small.

More information about this fun day to be announced shortly!

When: Sunday 26th February 2017, from 12:00pm until 5:00pm.

Where: National Wine Centre, Cnr. Botanic & Hackney Rds, Adelaide, SA, 5000

Excessive Dog Barking: Tips & Advice

Barking is a common, frustrating problem for many dog owners. It can cause anything from mild annoyance to neighbourly disputes to formal disciplinary council action. In addition to being hugely stressful to owners, nuisance barking is potentially very dangerous for the dog. Barking can sadly lead to harsh unnecessary punishment, erosion of the human-animal bond and a higher risk of surrender and premature euthanasia. In some extreme cases, barking can lead to dogs being maliciously poisoned.  For all these reasons, barking is an issue warranting solid understanding and appropriate intervention. Barking has previously received little exploration among the scientific community, despite being one of the most conspicuous features of dog behaviour. WHAT DOES BARKING MEAN?
