Pure Souls Pet Aquacremation

Pure Souls Pet Aquacremation:  the innovative eco-friendly farewell for your beloved friend

Long gone are the days when our pets were outsiders and buried in the backyard. Our pets have become an integral part of our family, our therapy friends and our life companions. 

This is why losing our pets is so devastating and only the thought of it makes us feel unwell. Unfortunately going through loss is an inevitable part of owning a pet and knowing your options can mean the difference for when it is time to say goodbye. 

Traditional flame cremation was the preferred option for pet parents to provide a respectful and dignified send off for their pets, however, like in all industries, disruptive new and green technologies are emerging to change the old ways and to provide benefits aligned with today’s challenges.

Pet Aquacremation, aka Alkaline hydrolysis is the latest development in sustainable funeral practices which has been gaining momentum as consumers look for alternative options. Being superior to traditional cremation in every way and using cutting edge technology, this new method promises to be safe and gentle with pets while having a minimal impact on our planet.

How does it work?

Pure Souls uses the latest technology and state of the art equipment to deliver the innovative water cremation process. It mimics the natural process of decomposition at an accelerated rate. 

Combining 95% water, 5% alkali, water flow and below 95°C temperature to reduce organic matter at a molecular level.

 “The results are similar to traditional cremation but without the carbon footprint.” 

After the process, the inorganic part of the bones remains to then be dried and powdered to pure white thin ashes. The liquid resultant from the process is a nutrient rich fertiliser that can be used or discharged to sewer.

Pet cremation with a purpose

Forward thinking and corporate responsibility is what has driven this Brisbane based company Pure Souls, to become Australia’s first and only Carbon neutral pet crematorium. 

It is about bringing compassion back into the pet cremation services with a conscious approach to environmental impact.

Their headquarters in Virginia, Brisbane, run 100% on clean renewable solar energy and their method claims to produce no greenhouse gases or toxic pollutants and be energy and water efficient. 

“We are leading the change in our industry, and we are leading responsibly. Our technology is the future of pet cremation as we move away from fossil fuel dependant equipment and embrace renewables for a greener future” said Giacomo Pareja, founder and director of Pure Souls Pet Aquacremation. 

Businesses and consumers switching to renewables is to be expected in this time in which climate change and awareness of the environment is such a big part of everyday discourse and government policy.

A service that cares for pets, people and the planet

A comprehensive service that understands and celebrates the connection with all living creatures and mother nature, is what guides the Pure Souls team to professionally care for all pets with compassion, love and gentle hands. 

As they help pets in their last journey crossing the rainbow bridge, pet parents are also cared for with a stress free door to door service that is fast, efficient and reliable, sending updates every step of the way and offering counselling support to those in need. 

This company not only has raised the bar when it comes to a personalised professional service, they also honour pet’s life on earth and positively contribute to a better future by partnering with renowned reforestation project managers to plant a living memorial tree for every pet left to their care. Imagine the impact if we were to plant a tree for every pet we have had …

The power is in our hands.

Unique memorials and cost of the service

Following a sustainable business model, Pure Souls offers unique handcrafted urns and memorials made of biodegradable and renewable materials like clay and bamboo, purposely designed to safely keep your precious pet remains and to look beautiful and match any décor.

Surprisingly, being an environmentally friendly service with so many added benefits, the price of aquacremation is very reasonable, matching the prices of the counterpart flame cremation. 

Pure Souls offers three packages starting at $250, the service fee depends on the pet weight which allows pet parents to pay the rate that is right for them and give them a range of options to choose from.

Aquacremation is definitely the choice for the eco-conscious pet parents out there.

Prepping Pets for New Year's Eve celebrations

While loud parties and fireworks are fun for pet parents on New Year’s Eve, they can be quite frightening for our furry friends.

On average, approximately 23 per cent of pets are fearful of noises [1], particularly those that are loud, sudden and high pitched.

Affected pets can react very differently, with responses ranging from excessive panting, hiding, attempting to escape, to destructiveness and self injury. PETstock VET Dr Sasha Nefedova has compiled a list of tips to keep your pet safe and calm this New Year’s Eve.

#1. Exercise

Ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise, whether it be a long walk, run or trip to the dog park, before the New Year’s Eve celebrations begin. 

Just like humans, dogs receive endorphins after exercise, allowing them to feel a natural high and be happy. 

Even better, allowing your dog to run freely, socialise and interact with other dogs at the park can further decrease feelings of anxiety. 

On New Year’s Eve, a well exercised, calm dog is less likely to engage in anxious behaviours such as barking or chewing at the furniture.

#2. Housekeeping

Before the New Year's festivities begin, there’s a number of precautions we can take to protect pets within the home. 

It’s a great idea to keep all windows and curtains closed, to minimise the impact that fireworks can have on pets.

Animals, such as rabbits, who are usually kept outdoors should be brought into the home or some other quiet, enclosed space such as the garden shed on New Year’s Eve. 

When it becomes dark, ensure cats are kept indoors and have access to as many hiding places as possible. This means you should open doors to rooms that your cat wouldn’t normally have access to.

#3. Microchip

Dogs are more likely to escape on nights like New Year’s Eve in response to loud noises, large crowds of people, unfamiliar surroundings and a change to their normal routine. Under these unusual circumstances, your pet may get frightened and attempt to run away or hide as a result. 

In the case that your furry friend does make a break for it, make sure they are microchipped or update any new details on the microchip registry, and ensure they’re wearing an ID tag so that they can be easily returned.

#4. Music therapy

Not only can music reduce the anxiety levels of pets, but it can also help them to better cope with other psychological triggers such as loud noises or fireworks. Alike to humans, music sends soundwaves that are processed by your pet’s brain which can cause them to react in a variety of different ways. 

For instance, loud and sudden noises can incite an increase in adrenalin, while repetitive and gentler sounds will often relax their nervous system.

To sooth your dog’s nerves, try leaving on a calming playlist or DOGTV’s relaxation program which features music that is scientifically designed to support the anxiety that our pets can experience.

Monthly and annual subscriptions to DOGTV are available exclusively at PETstock stores or online here.  

#5. A Calming accessory

A Thundershirt is an anti-anxiety weighted coat for dogs, that can help to calm their nerves if they are feeling anxious, overexcited or fearful, in response to the loud noises and bright lights of New Year’s Eve. 

The gentle, constant pressure of a Thundershirt has a calming affect on a dog’s nervous system and is a safe and drug free solution to help combat your dog’s anxiety.

PETstock’s top calming accessory: Thundershirt - Anti Anxiety Shirt for Dogs RRP: $69.99

#6. Toys

If you’re heading out on New Year’s Eve, consider leaving your pet with a new enrichment toy or food puzzle. 

Giving your dog, cat or rabbit a ‘job’ to do will keep them mentally stimulated, offer a sense of comfort and help manage their anxiety or boredom.

However, it’s important that you identify the cause of their anxiety so you’re not at risk of reinforcing the issue.

Guide Dogs Victoria 2021 Graduation Day

Guide Dogs celebrates Graduation Day by recognising the ‘supPAWt’ provided by the class of 2021

Guide Dogs Victoria is celebrating its annual Graduation Day by honouring the fantastic support provided by all dogs that graduated this year, not just those selected for the namesake occupation.

In total 64 dogs graduated as part of Guide Dogs Victoria’s class of 2021, all going on to make a positive impact in the lives of Australians. While many have become life changing Guide Dogs, providing freedom and independence to people with low vision or blindness, others have taken on just as important roles as Therapy Dogs, Assistance Dogs, Ambassador Dogs or Breeding Dogs that will help produce the next generation.

Therapy Dogs have returned to Manly courthouse one day per week as part of the Canine Court Companion Program (CCCP)!

 

In particular, all dogs that graduated through Guide Dogs Victoria’s training program have played a crucial role in providing individuals with comfort, emotional support and companionship through what has been a challenging year for so many.

Guide Dogs Client Rob Fletcher, who has Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy was recently paired with his Guide Dog Hamish and agrees that the support and companionship he has provided throughout the last year is unparalleled.

“Life has been so much easier since receiving Hamish even during lockdown when we just travelled within the local area, I could name a location and Hamish would get me there safely. The locals all love Hamish too, he’s brought a smile to a lot of people’s faces during the pandemic, in fact neighbours often say hi to him and not me now! I feel very safe and independent with Hamish by my side.”

“As we approach the end of another difficult year, we are so proud of all our graduating dogs who continue to make an extraordinary contribution to those living with low vision and blindness, especially during the tougher months in lockdown,” said Karen Hayes, CEO of Guide Dogs Victoria.

“This year we are also recognising the fantastic organisations we have partnered with to maximise the support we can offer to the community – organisations like Integra Service Dogs Australia, Ms Hayes said.

Thirteen dogs trained by Guide Dogs Victoria have gone on to become Assistance Dogs provided through Integra, and carefully matched with a Veteran or First Responders suffering from PTSD.

“Through Integra’s collaborative partnership with Guide Dogs, these recruited dogs provide unconditional support through the trauma and stresses of everyday life," said Ben Johnson, Co-Founder and CEO of Integra Service Dogs Australia.

“Especially during the past few years which have been uncertain, unfamiliar and posed a whole new set of challenges to our Clients. We have seen an increase in graduating dogs join us from Guide Dogs this year because of the unparalleled assistance they provide throughout these times.”

Integra Client and former Army Officer Vanessa agrees that the support provided by her reclassified dog Baz has had a life-changing impact since they have been matched.

“In 2021 I was fortunate to be paired with Baz and he has completely changed my world. I will retire from the Army this month after 24 rewarding yet demanding years in service, and phasing into retirement with Baz just feels so much easier as he completely understands my mental limitations," she said.

“Leaving the Army is more than just taking off the uniform–it’s a complete loss of identity, Baz has given me back structure, routine, and sense of purpose again and most importantly unconditional love and companionship. Going into the next stage of life especially during already uncertain times, seem much more achievable with Baz by my side.”

It takes $50,000 to breed, raise and train just one Guide Dog. For more information on how you can support Guide Dogs Victoria’s vital work, visit www.guidedogs.com.au

Keeping Furry Friends Safe during the Festive Season

The emergency department at Sydney’s Small Animal Specialist Hospital is prepping for a busy festive season, with an increase in holiday-related incidents expected over the Christmas break.

The team at SASH are urging all pet owners to take extra care over Christmas in a bid to avoid unnecessary vet visits, particularly when it comes to taking your furry friends on holidays or giving them special holiday treats.

Dr Tim Hopkins, Emergency and Critical Care Vet at SASH, says that holiday incidents are easily avoidable and there are plenty of things pet owners can do to make the holidays just as enjoyable for their pets.

“Lots of people are travelling with their pets during this time, so it’s important to consider what it’s going to be like for your pet there,” he said.

“If you’re heading up to Noosa for example, you might not have given your pet tick prevention treatment which they’ll need heading into tick territory especially.”

The team at SASH recently helped a 9-year-old Beagle, Charlie - who swallowed over 600 grams of chocolate, plus the wrappers.

“Most people know how dangerous chocolate can be for dogs, but it’s just as important to look out for the wrappers and other packaging that pets can ingest, so your Christmas morning of opening presents isn’t derailed by a trip to the emergency vet,” said Dr Hopkins.

And if you notice some rum balls missing or your pet has taken a sizeable chomp from the fruitcake, the Animal Poisons Helpline is available 7-days a week for free advice.

Dr Adi Frisch, Poisons Information Specialist from the Animal Poisons Helpline says the service often gets calls relating to alcohol, chocolate, BBQ meats and even poinsettias, but it is also important for things like rat, ant and cockroach poisons to be kept well clear of pets.

“If something does happen, the best thing to do is to call the helpline to check if you should be worried and get a full risk assessment in order to make the decision if you should be taking your animal to the vet,” she said.

The festive season also means fireworks, which can place dogs under a lot of stress, however Dr Hopkins says that pet owners can make their dogs feel more comfortable in the lead up to New Year’s Eve by slowly desensitising them with firework sounds over the course of a few weeks.

“It takes a bit of time but playing fireworks sounds at a very low-level during mealtime and slowly increasing the volume over time, can be much more effective than medication and can solve some noise phobias for good.”

Dr Tim also warns that some of the sedative drugs given to help dogs with firework anxiety can do more harm than good, with some actually making pets more sensitive to noise and cause them even greater distress.

“If you give your dog medication to calm them when the fireworks are already on, it’s too late. Start slowly desensitising your dog, with a veterinary behaviourist ideally, so that by the time New Year’s has rolled around, it’s just a normal day,” he said.

In an Australian summer, it is also important to make sure your pet is comfortable during the hot weather and is well hydrated. It’s recommended to avoid walking dogs in the heat of the day and make sure there’s plenty of water available.

This year, SASH opened a brand-new Emergency and Critical care unit which is open 24 hours, 7 days a week for walk ins so while pet owners can do their best to prepare for the holiday season, they can rest easy knowing there are services available over this time.

On extreme hot days, it is vital that your dogs have constant access to both fresh water and shade as heat stress can develop extremely quickly. Whenever possible, allow your pets to stay inside the house and share the air conditioning or electric fans.

Of course, NEVER leave your dog in a hot car - even with the windows down - as heat stress and death can occur within 6 minutes.

There are many ways to help your dog survive these hot days and make the most of our summer days. Here is our pick of dog summer accessories that will take your dog through the summer months in comfort and style.

Shedding only gets you so far. When the real heat rolls around, your dog is housebound, while you get to go out and have all the fun. Until now. 

The Core Cooling Vest from Kurgo is the answer to wearing a fur coat you can never really take off. Simply wet the vest with cool water, wring it out, and strap it on.

RRP: $94.98 at www.petcircle.com.au

The Pagoda Pet Fountain from PetSafe has two free-falling water streams that encourage your cat or dog to drink more water. Free-falling streams add more oxygen to the water and keep it fresh for your pet. 

An activated charcoal filter removes bad tastes and odours from your pet’s water and the foam filter helps catch pet hair and other debris to keep the water clean. 

This fountain holds 2 litres of water and the elevated, upper bowl is great for senior pets, so they won’t need to bend as low to drink. 

When it’s time to clean your fountain, simply place the fountain in the top rack of your dishwasher and hand-wash the pump.
