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

Presentations for these include squinting, pawing the eye or face, watery eyes, a discharge from the eye, the eyes can look red or inflammed, the pupil size may be abnormal, or the pet simply appears uncomfortable or in pain. But when is this an emergency and when should pet owners seek veterinary help? Most injuries that appear superficial occur to the cornea. This is the outer layer of your pet’s eye. There are many very thin layers to the cornea and the seriousness of the injury depends on how many of the layers have been damaged. Injuries to the outermost layer can heal quickly with medication in little time. However, the deeper the injury, the greater the chance of scarring or blindness which often requires surgery to prev...
