As a foster parent of two ageing King Charles Cavaliers, I was delighted to read recently in a magazine of the shared benefits of this special kind of relationship. Looking after a pet in need of a safe home and some TLC is a big responsibility, but I’ve found it certainly comes with many rewards. Our two ‘boys’ (not quite brothers but close in age and having lived pretty much all of their thirteen plus years together) came to us first as a trial run.
When choosing dog food, the first thing to consider is nutritional content. Just as you probably wouldn’t feel well if you ate junk food for a week, so your dog’s not going to be at his best if you cut corners on what he eats.
A DOG FOR YOUR HOME:
If you’re thinking of adding a dog to your family, or you have just welcomed a canine companion into your home, you may be wondering how best to take care of your new friend. Obviously there are many different breeds of dog to choose from and you are not always going to find one size fits all ideas and solutions. There are some suggestions that are similar for all breeds though.
Of course, one of the most important considerations is that you have all of the necessary items to make sure your dog is well cared for. These can include dog beds, pet shampoo, well-fitting dog collars, a control lead and a well manufactured kennel. Dogs are never going to be cheap to care for but don’t worry too much. Before you think you may have to take out a second mortgage to afford the costs, you should know that it’s possible to buy reasonably priced pet products in Australia, and still provide your canine housemate with the best care possible.
Pet, Horse and Farm have opened a temporary pop-up shop at 75 Keilor Road Essendon. We will be open every day between 10am and 4.30pm, with a range of in-store bargains on dog, cat and small animal products.

This month we would like to promote the Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP)
We recently interviewed Nic, who kindly answered the below questions on her experience with the GAP program.
Greyhounds make loving pets and there are many who need new homes once their racing career is over.
