Pets at the Gabba Markets - March 25

The Pets at the Gabba Markets are the first markets in Brisbane devoted to pets, celebrating Brisbane’s vibrant community of doggos, kitties and everything in between.

Event managers Lia Onorati and Renee Cutting say the market showcases the best pet products and services available locally and nationally, catering to all types of pets, while also raising much-needed funds for pet charities.

Each month, a different charity will be selected to receive part of the stall cost as a donation. In addition to this, there’ll be raffles every week (with prizes donated by stall holders and other companies in the pet industry), with the designated charity of the month to receive all proceeds. The first charity of the month will be RSPCA Queensland who will be there along with World for Pets, School for Dogs and PetCloud.

There will be a mix of stalls each week and here are some of the pet products and services you can expect on March 25:

There will also be live music thanks to JMC Academy, for those pets who love a good tune. 

Whilst the focus of the market is firmly on pets, there will be food stalls for pet parents too with Fresh Gozleme, Joeys Mini Pancakes, Mr Barista Coffee, Mr America, Turkish Gozleme etc ... so you won’t have to resort to eating dog food while you escort your fur babies around the event. 

When: Saturday 25th March 2017, from 3:00pm until 9:00pm and every Saturday after that.

Where: 73 Ipswich Road (across from the Norman Hotel), Woolloongabba, QLD.

The premises have a licensed cafe, The Canvas Art Café & Drive-Thru, and an American Smoke House.

Cost: Free

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...
