Mad Paws Easter Hunt for Dogs

Mad Paws Easter Hunt for Dogs - April 9

Sydney pooches and their two-legged plus ones are invited to Australia’s largest ever Easter hunt designed especially for dogs.

On Sunday 9th April at Blenheim Park (Sydney), Australia’s leading pet-sitting network Mad Paws, will be hosting an Easter Hunt party with hours of fun-filled games and treats to make your dog’s dreams come true.

Reward your loyal best friend by bringing them along to this event, where they can be unleashed to run free in a specially closed off area. Kick off by letting your lovable furry friend go on an exciting doggie egg hunt before some much needed ‘me time’ with a relaxing doggie pedicure in the ‘Pooch Pedi Parlour’.

Once relaxed and looking their best, your pup can go to the pooch ‘pawtrait’ corner - to pout a pose for a picture to take home.

If your dog is more of an adrenaline junkie, they can let loose with other like minded dogs, in the specially designed agility course.

This adorable event is hosted by Mad Paws, Australia’s largest pet sharing network, connecting pet sitters and dog walkers with busy, local pet ‘parents’.

Mad Paws has also teamed up with the Sydney Dogs and Cats Home and vet-supported retailer PETstock to ensure that this day is something that canines and their humans won’t forget in a pooch-long lifetime. All donations raised at the day will go towards the efforts Sydney Dogs and Cats Home puts into saving precious pups.

The day will finish off with a human-friendly BBQ, a massive dog Easter cake and cupcakes.

When: Sunday 9th April 2017, from 11:00am to 3:00pm

Where: Blenheim Park, North Ryde, NSW, 2113

Cost: Free

Made Easy Family Car Travel with Dog Car Travel

If you get your dog as a puppy and anticipate it going in the car with you at all, start taking the dog with you in the car early in its life so he recognizes this as routine. The earlier a dog begins riding in the car, the faster they will learn how to behave on a trip. Some dogs get car sickness. If your dog is one who experiences this talk to your vet. Like medications that can help people avoid getting sick in the car, there are medications to help dogs with this situation. If your dog is very upset, very sick or very nervous while riding in the car you will want to travel with your dog as little as possible. The safest method to transport your dog is in a pet crate. Also available are harnesses and seat belts to secure your dog while traveling, but most dog owners train the dog to sit on a seat and ride. Your dog may move from seat to seat, but do not e

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.
