Barkly Barks Dog Festival 2017 - May 28

Barkly Barks Dog Festival returns to Brunswick’s Barkly Square on Sunday 28th May 2017.

Following its huge inaugural year, this favourite four-legged festival will celebrate all things canine. With a Pug race, dog parade, pop-up stalls and live music entertainment, competitions and workshops, this year’s event promises to be an even bigger hit than the last.

With an eclectic mix of activities including doggie match-making with Dog Share helping your pooch find the perfect park partner, Awkward Portraits for dogs, dog walking by Tom and Captain as well as puppy training tips and advice, this free event offers something for every man and their dog.

The much-love dog parade is back again – adding new category “Fastest Pug” to its ten categories including Most Obedient, Best Costume and Dog and Owner Look-Alike and more.

The Canine Wellness Kitchen food truck will be on site to feed the furry masses, whilst there will be live music plus food and beverage for humans as well.

Think your pup has what it takes to be the next Lassie? TV presenter Lara Shannon will be hosting the event alongside star of stage David Pidd and filming for her new Ten Digital show ‘Pooches at Play’ at the festival.

Don't have a dog? Turn up and make friends with someone who does, or catch the Pug race which guarantees cuteness levels will be through the roof.

Registration for all events and activities including the Dog Parade can be made on the day on a first in, first served basis.

When: Sunday 28th May 2017, from 10am till 3pm

Where: Barkly Square Shopping Centre, 90-106 Sydney Road, Brunswick, VIC

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...

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...
