Dirty Dog Tail Run Grape Tails - April 29


Organisers are sorry to announce they had to postpone the Dirty Dog Tail Run's Grape Tails event until 2018.
The Dirty Dog Tail Run is getting a little bit fancy by taking their next event to the Great Lakes Winery in Wootton (NSW) on Saturday 29th April, 2017.

The event, which took place for the first time last year in Coopernook State Forest, allows dogs and their owners to go for a run or walk off the beaten track and in beautiful locations like through the winery’s vineyards.


Run, walk, sniff and bark your way around the picturesque Great Lakes Paddocks with your best friend and support animal advocacy and welfare organisations at the same time!

Organised by Forster events company Fully Rad Adventures, the event also raises funds for Sweet Pea Animal Rescue with a percentage of ticket sales going to the local charity. " The run is not timed and is more about the experience of enjoying a walk or run outdoors with your dog" explained Danielle Donnelly of Fully Rad Adventures.

The 5km course gives hounds and their humans of all shapes, sizes and abilities the opportunity to join the fun.“It’s a relaxing and fun event that is designed around the dog’s enjoyment,” Danielle said.  

After a great time tackling the course, you will get the chance to enjoy wine, local produce and some chill vibes! While your pooch enjoys the dog playground including an obstacle course, treats, pooch smooth booth and lots more.
Dogs are awarded with a medal and bandana upon completing the track. 

The event will also incorporate a fun day aspect after the run, with obstacle courses for dogs, Beerdog’s Brewhouse ‘beer’ for dogs and a pooch smooch kissing booth.

For the humans, wine and food will be available as well as live music entertainment. The organisers will be giving away some fantastic prizes for best dressed pooches, plus prizes in fun games throughout the day.

What's included in the entry price?

Not only do you and your pooch get a fun day out together, you'll both get a super cool bag of goodies including a glow dog tag, Bark Buff, dog tag race bib, finishers medal for your pooch, doggy treats, refreshments on the course, plus your entry fee includes a 10% donation to a partner animal rescue and advocacy group.

Please note that dog(s) must be fully vaccinated to take part in the Dirty Dog Tail Run Grape Tails. They must be registered and wear a collar with an identification tag.


When: Saturday 29th April, 2017, from 9:00am till 2:00pm

Where: Great Lakes Paddocks is located a couple of kms off the Pacific Highway, between Coolongolook and Bulahdelah, NSW.

Sporn Marrow Chew Bone

The Sporn Marrow Chew Bone (originally called the Yuppie Puppy ) is a jerky-flavour filled chewable nylon bone, which promises to control tartar and plaque, assisting with your dog's dental health. After putting it to the test for a number of years with our three Belgian Shepherds, we can attest that it is great for the toughest of chewers and may even save some of your furniture or shoes. Especially recommended during the puppy phase, when your dog is constantly teething and needs something to chew. Chewing this bone is similar to brushing their teeth. As the nylon shreds, it becomes like bristles, removing tartar and plaque build-up from the teeth. These interactive dental chew toys are unique to most other flavoured nylon bones as the marrow is added after the bone has been moulded and cooled. After trialling other brands on the market, we found that the marrow makes the difference and keeps our dogs coming back for more. Our dogs can surely smell it long before they can t...

Like medications that can help people avoid getting sick in the car, there are medications to help dogs with this situation.

Dog Eye Injuries can be a Vet Emergency

Eye injuries in dogs and cats are common and are usually caused by trauma (such as a fight with another animal), a foreign body in the eye, infection, an inability to form lubricating tears, or an abnormality in the eye.  WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF AN EYE INJURY? 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...
