Brisbane's Biggest Doggy Afternoon Tea 2017 - June 24



Brisbane’s Biggest Doggy Afternoon Tea will be held on Saturday 24th June 2017 to raise money for Cancer Council Queensland.

This event is hosted by Pets at the Gabba, Brisbane’s first ever not-for-profit weekly markets for people and their pets, which are being held every Saturday (from 3pm-8pm) in Woolloongabba.

The Pets at the Gabba Markets aim to bring the pet community together, promote responsible pet ownership, raise awareness for and support local charities, provide a place to meet and socialise. 
It also allows local Queensland businesses to showcase their products and services.

The markets are continually supporting other human and pet related charities. 

Did you know that one in two Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime? The organisers are urging people and their pets to help reduce this statistic by supporting the Cancer Council Queensland on their mission to defeat cancer.

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?

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...
