Top Dog Day Out
On Sunday September 6th 2009 we supported the Top Dog Day Out at Haldon Forest. The day ran from 10.30am to 4.30pm and was absolutely free! There were dog demonstrations including agility, obedience, dog dancing, flyball and a gundog scurry. We had a stand at this event and held a free prize draw. It was a fun, family day out in beautiful surroundings with great weather and will take place at a similar time next year. Keep a look out here or on the Forestry Commission website for further details.
Vaccine Amnesty Success
During June 2009 twenty cats, five dogs and one rabbit restarted their vaccination programmes thanks to our participation in National Vaccination Month with a vaccine amnesty. Eleven of these pets are aged nine or over showing that it's never too late to start protecting your pet. Ideally starting a vaccine program at the recommended nine weeks for cats, and eight weeks for dogs, and continuing with annual boosters throughout their lives is the most effective method of protecting your pet from the many potentially fatal diseases that they can be exposed to. But well done to all those owners who joined in the vaccine amnesty.
