Archie's Journey
ARCHIE’S STORY- as told by his Mum
Unfortunately for dear little Archie, the first two years of his life were not ideal, to say the least. He was neglected and mistreated. At 2 and a half, he was surrendered to a dog shelter and the very next day he escaped and was lost in the bush for 3 weeks….scared and alone, in very wet and wintery conditions.

Yogi's Story
Mid 2018 our beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog Yogi Bear did the smallest of movements hopping out of our back door for his favourite kong and suddenly had a startled look which he then went on to deteriorate over the next 24 hours. He progressively lost all movement in his limbs and could only move his head.

The days are longer and people are getting more active. They are bringing their dogs out of sedentary semi-retirement, and some of them are at the point where a 3 month "off season" over winter is like you taking 18 months away from your favourite activity. Then add in a few more weeks where it is too hot to walk much.

When is it safe to play ball?
When puppies are young they love to chase and chew things. The quickest, easiest thing to provide is a ball. They quickly learn that if they bring it to us we will interact with them and throw it again for them to chase, and again and again.
On many levels for many dogs this whole process causes problems. But for many others, this interaction provides mental stimulation, improved exercise, and focus on their owner
When it comes to our pets health the standard line is NO BALL.
