Australian Dog Lover

Our Malinois Aramis & Porthos and our cat Arya are heat-seeking missiles at this time of year and will claim 'first dibs' on our couch or the bed! On those frosty winter mornings and early nights, we never seem to have enough mats, blankets or heating!

But when you’re looking for a safe and cost effective way to keep your pets warm this year, check out Pet Mat™. It’s an easy way to provide on-demand warmth for your dog/s all winter!

Pet Mat™ uses a unique touch-activated technology that warms only when the pet is on the mat. It heats within 5 minutes of contact, and cools when the pet moves on. Your pooch can come and go and always has warm place to come back to.

With very low energy consumption, Pet Mat™ is an eco-friendly and economical pet heating solution too. You can run Pet Mat™ 24/7 with similar energy use as a computer on screensaver. With rising electricity costs, it’s a smart choice this winter.

No need to worry about overheating either. Pet Mat™ will warm between 20-30 degrees above room temperature with a maximum range of 40 degrees. It’s easy to clean, easy to store and when properly cared for, can be used year in and year out.

Whether you care for one puppy or an entire litter, a senior dog suffering from osteoarthritis or a chronic illness, or your pet is recovering from an injury, it is essential to keep them warm and comfortable throughout the colder months.

To celebrate its official release on April 18, we teamed up with Penguin Books Australia for your chance to Win 1 of 3 copies of The Wonderful Thing About Phoenix Rose by Australian author Josephine Moon, her most heart-warming tale yet!

Phoenix Rose, a 35-year-old neurodivergent teacher, is at a crossroads in her career and in her relationship with her boyfriend, Zack. But when she receives an urgent plea from a friend in Tasmania who needs to rehome her beloved animals, Phoenix, who has always led with her heart, spontaneously decides to help.

Author Josephine Moon | Credit: Anastasia Kariofyllidis

When she suddenly finds herself the custodian of an eccentric dog, two cats, a clutch of chickens and a geriatric pony, she makes another snap decision – to provide a new home for them all herself. The trouble is, she will have to drive the menagerie all the way back to Brisbane in time to return to Zack and her job – and she cannot do it alone.

She enlists the help of Lily – a colourful younger woman who is also neurodivergent – as well as resourceful members of their online community. Together the new friends must navigate unexpected twists, setbacks and moments of heartbreak and triumph as they both move towards a new identity and understanding of themselves.

The Wonderful Thing about Phoenix Rose is a joyful and moving tale of a woman’s commitment to fulfilling a friend’s dying wish, while finding her own inner strength and power and sharing it with others along the way.

Canine Fitness & Rehabilitation Australia the official distributor for FitPAWS® and Blue-9 Pet Products, aims to provide the best quality products and equipment for the fitness, exercise and rehabilitation of our canine friends.

Instability training is a fun way to bond with your dog, teach them a new behaviour and strengthen their core - which is the powerhouse of your dog's body.

And if your dog competes in any dog sports - Agility, Dock Dogs, Canine Disc, Flyball, Obedience, Freestyle, Treibball etc - you’ll want to make sure he/she is in prime physical condition!

The FitPAWS® TRAX™ Donut Ball is a uniquely-shaped inflatable fitness ball designed specifically for dogs. Its flattened base offers more stability than other inflatables. With your assistance, your dog can learn to stand, sit, lay, side step and perform other beneficial exercises.

Subtle movement of the Donut under your dog’s weight causes a shift in your dog’s centre of gravity. Your dog will naturally try and maintain balance, causing the muscles to engage and strengthen. It’s that simple.

Fun fitness training with a FitPAWS® TRAX™ Donut Ball is also a great way to build your dog's confidence, improve their fitness and focus their attention!

FitPAWS® TRAX™ Donut Main Features:

✔️ Special TRAX™ Design Provides Superior Grip and Stability

✔️ New TRAX™ Surface Prevents Slipping and Provides Neurosensory Stimulation

✔️ New Burst-Resistant to 300 lbs. – Provides Safe Balance Platform for Conditioning and Rehabilitation Exercises. Designed to deflate slowly if punctured.

✔️ Inflation Pump Included

✔️ The new Trax Donut was engineered to be a bit smaller than the previous donut to increase the challenge and improve results while maintaining the same functionality. *product can slightly vary in size and colour

Expand your dog’s playground with their own FitPAWS® indoor equipment!

A strong core is the powerhouse between front and rear body movement. If you are a dog, it helps you when you sit up, stand up, run, turn, twist, jump and play. Too hot, too cold or wet to walk your dog outside?

Exercise your dog indoors with a FitPAWS® playground!

Win a PetSafe® Streamside Pet Fountain or an Eatwell Automatic Pet Feeder or 1 of 2 Chilly Penguin Freezer Toys!

We may be about to wrap up Pet Hydration Month however from experience we record much higher temps in February, so with everyone heading back to school or work, this is the perfect time to get your paws on a PetSafe® Streamside Ceramic Pet Fountain and other fantastic prizes to make life easier.

Your pet needs to drink 70ml of water per 1kg of body weight every day.

Both our dogs and cats are attracted to flowing water.

Pet fountains continuously provide your pets with fresh, filtered water encouraging them to drink more water and more often!

The quiet design of this fountain causes the water to softly bubble over (as opposed to a free-falling stream), which allows shy or timid pets to feel comfortable approaching the fountain.

The 360-degree design allows your pet to drink from the fountain from any angle!

The fountain uses a pump, carbon filter and foam filter that work together to remove pet hair, saliva and bad tastes from the water, so they always have clean water to drink.

#1. Prize: PetSafe® Streamside Ceramic Fountain (RRP: $128.99)

✔️ 1-8 litre water capacity makes it perfect for small dogs
✔️ Whisper-quiet bubbling water flow is great for picky or shy pets
✔️ High-quality, scratch-resistant ceramic is hygienic and guaranteed free of heavy metals
✔️ 360-degree design lets your cat drink water from all sides
✔️ Stylish, modern design blends in with your home décor
✔️ Compact size is perfect for small spaces
✔️ Dual filtration removes pet hair, debris, bad tastes and odours
✔️ Top-rack dishwasher safe for easy clean-up; hand wash the pump separately
✔️ Uses Charcoal Filter (PAC19-14088), Foam Filter (PAC19-14089) and Replacement Pump (PAC00-13184)

#2. Prize: PetSafe® Eatwell 5 Meal Pet Feeder (RRP: $117.19)

The 5 Meal Pet Feeder serves up to 5 meals, snacks or treats per day at the right time!

One meal is ready-to-eat as soon as you fill the tray with your pet’s food, then simply schedule the other 4 meals to be served at a later time. Setting up mealtimes is quick and easy. Use the digital timer to schedule each meal down to the minute. Once you set the schedule, the feeder will feed your pet at the same time every day, so you don’t have to set a new schedule daily. When it’s time for your pet’s next meal, the tray will automatically rotate to the next section.

Each tray section holds 1 cup (236 ml) of dry or semi-moist food and treats too! The size of each compartment allows you to fill the tray with any size kibble, jerky pieces or freeze-dried treats.

If you have a pet, who tends to eat dinner like it’s a race, use this automatic dog and cat feeder to divide their meals into smaller portions over a short amount of time.

#3. Prize: Freezable Treat Holding Chilly Penguin (RRP: Small 10.59 or Medium/Large $17.19)

The PetSafe® Freezable Treat Holding Chilly Penguin is, hands down, the coolest way to eat a treat.

If your dog needs a slow-feed option for eating wet food, this freezer toy slows down dinnertime while adding fun.

And if you need to keep your dog occupied while you’re away, you can also use this freezer dog treat toy to freeze chicken broth, yoghurt etc to help your dog savour his snacks for a lot longer.

The Chilly Penguin is a yummy cool-down for those hot days!

Key Features:

✔️ Hollow snowflake shape holds frozen treats

✔️ Stands up to tough chewers
✔️ Round base wobbles to give pets a fun challenge
✔️ Durable, vanilla-scented rubber
✔️ Dishwasher safe, top rack only

Detective Sergeant Zoe Mayer and her service dog, Harry, are on a new case. And this time, all bets are off...

An utterly compelling police procedural set on the Murray River, by a rising star of Australian crime fiction

Detective Sergeant Zoe Mayer is on the case, alongside her trusty service dog, Harry. Although Zoe is determined to track down the murderer, she finds herself stonewalled at every turn—by Freddie’s family, his associates and even the local police. But then a second body is discovered, and soon all bets are off…

Wild Card is a gripping mystery about gang warfare and small-town corruption, featuring a crime-fighting duo like no other.

From the internationally bestselling author of A Dog's Purpose and A Dog's Way Home comes Love, Clancy: Diary of a Good Dog, a deeply moving story with a brand new cast of characters, including one very good dog.

You’ve probably never met someone like Clancy. He’s keeping a diary, he’s falling in love, there are rivals for his affections, he lives with his best friend and his worst enemy – even taken together, these factors are maybe not that unusual, except that Clancy is a dog. His point of view is therefore perhaps . . . different.

Told in W. Bruce Cameron’s signature style, a tremendous cast of wonderful characters find themselves jointly and separately navigating the challenges of life, of love, and . . . other pets, including Clancy's “worst enemy” - one very disdainful cat.

It’s a lot to keep track of, especially when things start to spin hilariously out of control, but fortunately, we’ve got the observations of Clancy, a very good dog, who shares a valuable perspective on what is really important.

About the Author:

Win 1 of 5 copies of Lionel and Me by Corinne Fenton & Tracie Grimwood

It wouldn't be Christmas without a big pile of books under the Christmas tree, one of the best gifts for young dog lovers (in our humble opinion).

We know illustrated children's books are expensive so we teamed up with Author Corinne Fenton and New Frontier Publishing for a chance to win 5 copies just in time for Christmas!

Lionel and Me is a delightful tale about a new dog, Lionel, joining a family that already has a dog Maverick. Told from the older dog's point of view, we see how initial jealousy can blossom into genuine friendship and love.

All children have jealous feelings at some point and, in this book, it shows that they can be overcome and turned into something positive. Other key themes are family life and pets.

When Lionel arrives, Maverick is unimpressed.
Is there enough love to go round for the two of them?

Told from the older dog’s point of view, we see how initial jealousy can blossom into genuine friendship and love. A delightful book that celebrates inclusion and friendship.

Hardcover, 32 pages
Publisher: New Frontier Publishing, Imprint: Catch a Star, 1st June 2022
For Ages: 3-6 years old

RRP: $26.99 from all good bookstores and online retailers.

Award-winning Corinne Fenton is a writer with a passion for picture books that warm the heart. To date, all her picture books have featured an animal hero (The Dog on the Tuckerbox, Little Dog and the Christmas Wish, Little Dog and the Summer Holiday etc.). Corinne has rescued so many strays over the years that she now never leaves the house without a pet lead.

Illustrator Tracie Grimwood has created a terrific book trailer. Enjoy, it is sooo cute!

Win 1 of 4 copies of Amazing Aussie Dogs - True Blue tales of clever and courageous canines

Some say Australia was built on the sheep’s back, but it’s just as true to say our nation was built in the dog kennel – after all, it was the dogs that were rounding up the sheep!

Australians love their dogs – we’re home to more than 6 million pet pooches – and they love us right back. These are the stories of some of our most remarkable canine companions, embodying the spirit of hard work, mateship and larrikinism.

Dogs like DJ the Border Collie, who survived for days after falling into floodwater near Lismore.

Kimmy the Kelpie, who sold for a record-breaking amount at a working-dog auction.

Basil the Rottweiler, who defied the misconceptions about his breed and saved a drowning child.

'Mumma Zura' the American Staffordshire Terrier who became a doting mum to over 200 foster puppies.

And Lexi the Jack Russell terrier, who learned to ‘drive’ a ute through the paddocks on her farm.

Our faithful four-legged friends save us from peril, inspire works of art and offer unwavering loyalty. In Amazing Aussie Dogs, Laura Greaves brings to life these inspirational true stories of our homegrown heroes.

Written by Laura Greaves a multi-award-winning journalist, author and proud 'crazy dog lady'. Now a freelance writer, Laura has spent more than twenty years writing for newspapers in magazines in Australia and around the world. She's also the author of the collections: Incredible Dog Journeys, Dogs with Jobs, The Rescuers, Miracle Mutts, Extraordinary Old Dogs, A Dog's Best Friend as well as 3 romantic comedies which feature an extensive supporting cast of cheeky canines! She was twice won the Dog Writers Association of America's Rio Award, which recognises the best book about a dog that has impacted a human's life in a profoundly positive way.

Win 1 of 2 PetSafe® Prizes to Spoil your Dogs!

Santa Paws is coming to town early, thanks to our friends at PetSafe® Australia!

They have so many gift ideas to spoil your dogs and cats: from Play & Challenge solutions (toys and enrichment) to Health & Wellness essentials with a wide range of pet fountains and automatic pet feeders for all pet sizes and budgets!

#1. A PetSafe® Automatic Ball Launcher (RRP: $268.79), perfect for ball-obsessed pups!

Your dog(s) will have the best fun playing fetch with the PetSafe® Automatic Ball Launcher.

This launcher is great for both outdoor and also indoor interactive play on those rainy days (just make sure you put away your breakables ... and your cat!)

This Ball Launcher shoots standard-sized tennis balls between 2.5 to 9 metres and up to a 45 degree angle. With 9 distance settings and 6 angle settings, you can find the best combination to suit your dog's height!

Multiple built-in safety sensors keep pets and people safe while playing fetch and the automatic rest mode makes sure your dog does not get overworked. It is that much fun it's hard to stop them sometimes!

#2. A Butterfly Pet Fountain (RRP: $70.99)

A fountain just as unique and charming as its name, the PetSafe® Butterfly Pet Fountain makes sure your small dog or cat always has access to fresh, flowing water.

The cute, butterfly topper isn’t just for looks! It creates 4 free-falling water streams for your pet to drink from, or remove the butterfly topper for a quiet, bubbling water flow.

Both help your pet stay hydrated by encouraging them to drink more since they are naturally attracted to moving water (which is awesome) because your pet needs 70 ml of water (per 1 kg they weigh) every day.

This fountain has a shorter base, which gives puppies / kittens easier access to the fountain. The fountain also has a raised tray, so even if the power goes out, your pet will still have access to water.

A charcoal filter, foam filter and fountain pump work together to keep water filtered and clean. The constant water circulation also helps to prevent the growth of bacteria.

Key Features of the Drinkwell® Butterfly Pet Fountain:

✔️ 1.5 litre water capacity makes it perfect for cats and
small dogs

✔️ Free-falling water encourages cats to drink more and help prevent urinary and kidney diseases through increased hydration

✔️ Butterfly topper creates 4 free-falling streams

✔️ Remove the topper to create a quiet, bubbling water flow

✔️ Raised tray gives your cat access to water even if the power goes out

✔️ Shorter fountain base makes this fountain great for kittens too

✔️ Wide tray keeps your cat’s sensitive whiskers from touching the sides

✔️ Dual filtration removes pet hair, debris, bad tastes and odours

✔️ Top-rack dishwasher safe for easy clean-up; handwash the pump separately

✔️ Uses Charcoal Filter (PAC19-14088) and Foam Filter (PAC19-14089)

✔️ BPA-free plastic

*** Win 1 of 2 PetSafe® Gifts for your Pet ***

Total Prize Pool: $340.00

July 28 is World Nature Conservation Day so to celebrate we teamed up with AniPal, whose mission is to inspire the veterinary and animal lovers communities to adopt proactive and sustainable practices.

Earlier this year, AniPal introduced their range of nutritious, calming and organic Australian seaweed and insect-based functional treats for dogs.

All ingredients are natural and sourced locally where possible, with formulas to help relieve the most common health conditions specific for puppy and adult dogs, including allergies, anxiety, obesity, joint pain and arthritis.

With August dedicated to Pet Dental Health, we can't stress enough how essential oral health is to your dog's overall health and wellbeing.

With only 2% of dog owners reportedly brushing their dogs' teeth, supplemental dental chews have an important role to play to help fight plaque and tartar build-up and should form part of your dog's daily health routine.

Each 1 of 5 AniPal Treats Prize Packs will include 2 x treat packs, with your choice of the following varieties:

1. Sea Chews Calm & Restore Adult Dental Sticks

An Adult Dental Stick to clean teeth, containing Chondroitin, Turmeric & Chamomile for nurturing minds, muscles and joints. OR

2. Sea Chews Puppy Brain & Bone Boosting Dental Sticks

A Puppy Dental Stick formulated to be soft on gums and teeth whilst providing Calcium and Omega 3 & 6 for bone and brain development.

PLUS

3. Sea Dreams Calm & Restore Seaweed Bites

Nutritious and hypoallergenic Organic Australian Seaweed protein with calming Valerian Root & Chamomile to alleviate aches and boost joint repair. OR

4. Earth Bites Brain Boosting Bites

The Omega 3 & 6, Ginseng & antioxidants boost brain health and memory. The Native Kakadu Plum, Manuka Honey & Chai Seeds provide anti-inflammatory benefits with probiotics for great gut health.

To help your pets feel and look fabulous throughout the winter season, we teamed up with Australian natural pet care company BuddyPet to offer you the chance to trial some of their nutrient rich daily supplements and natural grooming products.

The entire range was designed by veterinarians and is made with nature’s finest gifts: Australian grown, organic and ethically sourced.

Winter has set in and with the increased humidity this year, you will have seen your senior dogs' mobility deteriorating if they suffer from joint and muscle pain, which is a sure sign of canine arthritis.

Each of the 4 Hemp Health Prize Packs includes:

✔️ BUDDYPET Milly - Turmeric & 100% Raw Hemp Seed Oil for Health Support in Senior Dogs.

BUDDYPET Milly naturally supports and cares for senior dogs in their golden years. It’s a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant supplement that could help improve mobility, recovery and general wellbeing.

As dogs age, they tend to become less mobile due to arthritis, digestive issues, weight gain, deteriorating immune system, heart and lung function. Ageing pets are fragile and need extra support to help them find their zest for life. The good news is BUDDYPET Milly could help!

A best-in-show supplement for senior dogs!

✔️ BUDDYPET Poppy - Hemp Seed Oil Shampoo for Dry, Itchy Skin & Dandruff

BUDDYPET Poppy naturally cares for dry, itchy skin. Scientifically formulated by their in-house vet for pets with inflammatory skin conditions. This gentle, 100% natural and hypoallergenic hemp shampoo for dogs provides a soothing relief to dry, itchy skin, hydrating the skin and reducing skin inflammation.

Free of sulphates, parabens, alcohol and toxins. 100% natural and pooch safe.
Great for all breeds and all sizes, from puppies to senior dogs.

BUDDYPET Poppy is only using all organic ingredients (Hemp Seed Oil, Rosehip Oil, Aloe Vera juice, Colloidal Oatmeal, Vitamin E) for a natural way to clean and heal.

Our dogs Porthos & Aramis just like our cat Arya are heat-seeking missiles and at this time of year, they'll claim 'first dibs' well before anyone else is ready! On those bleak winter days where temperatures struggle to hit double digits, you never have enough mats, blankets or heating!

If you care for a puppy / kitten, an elderly dog suffering from canine arthritis , a chronic illness or recovering from an injury, it is essential to keep them warm and comfortable throughout the colder months.

A fantastic option is to provide them with their own Heated Pad like the Original Pet-mat™, which uses the latest in Positive Temperature Coefficient Technology.

The Original Pet-mat™ is designed to reach a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Celsius whether it is covered or not. In reality, a more practical heat rise of 20-30 degrees Celsius is usually maintained above ambient conditions.

Since the Pet-mat™ works on dynamic heat transfer, it should maintain a temperature slightly warm to the touch until body contact is made.

It is simply impossible for it to ever overheat ensuring a consistently comfortable use for your pet, even if left on 24/7.

Maintenance is easy! To clean your Pet-mat™ you can wash it under running water or just wipe it off with a damp washer.

** Win 1 of 2 Pet-Mat™ Heated Pads **

To kick off National Raw Feeding Week 2022 (April 1-7), we teamed with Melbourne-based pet food & pet care company PETZYO, offering 100% Australian-made raw (and kibble that counts) foods delivered directly to its customers paws - like young Bonnie here!

PETZYO Raw Royalty is tested and reviewed by a veterinary nutritionist plus each of their recipes exceeds the guidelines established by the AAFCO and PFIAA. Furthermore, a raw diet of PETZYO’s fresh-frozen foods contains more micronutrients than a cooked diet and helps provide your dog with:

✔️ healthier skin
✔️ shinier coat
✔️ more energy
✔️ healthier teeth and improved breath
✔️ healthier gut
✔️ reduced stool volume and improved odour.

If you're completely new to the benefits of a Raw Dog Food Diet, you can learn more here.

Our two Malinois recently trialled the PETZYO Raw BARF Dog Food and absolutely loved the flavours of both the Got Beef and Chick Magnet varieties they sampled!

As a busy pet parent, you can't go past the convenience offered by these pre-portioned (225g) meat patties delivered to your door in a convenient 12-pack insulated box.

Three lucky winners will get the chance to receive 2 x 2.7kg boxes (5.4kg in total, RRP: $84.00) of their favourite raw patties, choosing from the entire range - either 2 of the same variety or why not mix & match to discover your dog's favourite?

✔️ Got Beef

✔️ Roo's Clues

Each PETZYO raw recipe offers a natural and balanced diet consisting of raw meat combined with bones and fresh organs, whole foods (eggs, flaxseed, herbs and oils), fruit & vegetables, superfoods and spices with no preservatives.

Sunshine Coast Dog Trainer, Behaviourist, Dog Trick Instructor and Wedding Dog Handler Charlotte Bryan from Paws, Claws & Tails has trained many dogs and this was the inspiration behind the OneLeash™, her own design for a 9-in-1 robust multi-function reflective dog lead.

Charlotte Bryan’s OneLeash™ is tough, durable, made from premium quality materials and construction.

It comes complete with anti-shock mechanisms, decreasing the impact to your arm, shoulder and your dog if your dog suddenly pulls on the leash, or you stop suddenly in the car.

The OneLeash is also reflective which increases your dog’s visibility at night. When it comes to the ultimate reflective dog leash, this is it!

With at least 9 different uses, the OneLeash™ will be there for you no matter what the situation!

✔️ #1 Normal Dog Leash

The primary function of the multi-purpose dog lead is to act as an everyday dog leash. The Clip that attaches to the collar is strong and durable, and the handle is padded for your comfort.

The body of the OneLeash™ has an anti-shock bungee mechanism to reduce any shock to your wrist and shoulder, and also to your dog’s neck if they pulled suddenly.

✔️ #2 Extra Long Dog Leash

You can also attach the OneLeash Extender™ to the end of the Main Lead, giving your dog an extra 50cm or 1m to roam (depending on what you choose).
NB: This configuration may be too heavy for smaller dogs.

✔️ #3 Dog Car Seatbelt

Once you have finished your walk and returned to your car, simply click the car buckle (located near the handle of the OneLeash™) into the seatbelt port in your vehicle.

The anti-shock bungee mechanism in the dog leash itself will keep your pooch restrained whilst also protecting them from any sudden jerks.

✔️#4 Hands-free Shoulder Strap

Go hands-free with the OneLeash™ which can be configured into a shoulder strap and leash.

✔️ #5 Two-handed Dog Leash

Need a better grip on your dog or need to keep them closer than usual? You can comfortably hold the leash via two comfortable handles.

✔️ #6 Temporary Tether

Need to quickly tie your dog up while you’re out? Use the OneLeash™ to easily do so.

✔️ #7 Makeshift Dog Collar & Lead

Did you forget your dog’s collar? The OneLeash™ can be configured to act as a temporary dog collar and leash all in one!

✔️ #8 Double Dog Leash

Need to walk two dogs? The OneLeash™ can easily walk two dogs at one with a 360 degree swivel on the OneLeash Extender™ so the dogs don’t get tangled.

✔️ #9 Triple Dog Leash

Yes, it can! The OneLeash™ can be configured to walk up to three dogs at once (just make sure you are able to handle any situation!).

The OneLeash™ has a 1 year warranty on workmanship. Currently, it only comes in the colour Black.

Learn how to set it up and use it by watching this video:

Instability training is a fun way to bond with your dog, teach them a new behaviour and strengthen their core - which is the powerhouse of your dog's body.

Fun fitness training with the K9FITbone™ is also a great way to reduce stress, burn excess calories, and it’s a healthy “job” for your dog, rather than re-landscaping your garden!

Great for dogs of all ages, full body conditioning offers a range of benefits:

✔️ Core and Limb Strength
✔️ Improves Co-ordination
✔️ Better Joint Health
✔️ Create a Stronger Bond
✔️ Reduce Behaviour Challenges
✔️ Senior Strengthening
✔️ Puppy Confidence Building

With wet and colder days ahead, a K9FITbone™ is a great starting block to create your own canine gym at home for your dog's general fitness or to keep training for your favourite dog sports and competitions!

The FitPAWS K9FITbone™ is a very versatile piece of balance equipment.

The lateral movement the K9FITbone™ offers encourages your dog to engage the abdominal muscles, the muscles along the spine (core and trunk muscles), and the supporting muscles around the hips and shoulders that are used for stability and support good posture.

K9FITbone™ is available in 6 fun colours: Razzleberry, Purple, Blue, Green, Aqua & Orange.

Did you know that February 14 is also Pet Theft Awareness Day?

The increased demand for a furry companion over the past 2 years has also resulted in an increase in pet theft worldwide. Prices for puppies in particular but also older dogs have skyrocketed, attracting greedy backyard breeders - and the interest of criminals.

The advice of the police is to leave your pet at home when running errands but there are occasions when it's not always possible, so can you do to keep your pooch safe and secure?

Designed in Melbourne, Australia, safelysecured™ is the world's first company to offer 'anti-theft' dog harness and lead and now dog collar and lead sets.

#1. safelysecured™ Dog Harness

✔️ This is a step-in 'anti-theft' dog harness which is the easiest harness to fit on dogs that don't like things being put over their head.

✔️ Extremely lightweight, comfortable and best of all, secure! Made with soft, breathable air mesh fabric so no matter the temperature outside, your pooch is going to look cool and be even cooler.

✔️ Available in 10 sizes (from a Chihuahua up to around a Border Collie size).

✔️ Stainless steel wire reinforced 'Patent Pending' design, to stop all those opportunistic thieves cutting them off! Plus, there's a Dual D-Ring for added strength.

✔️ Push button lock on the buckle clip for increased security.

#2. safelysecured™ Dog Lead

✔️ 1.20 Metres Long and 2.4cm Wide.

✔️ Stainless steel wire reinforced design, to stop opportunistic thieves cutting through the lead.

✔️ Includes 2 safelysecured™ combination locks, (in a range of colours) one either end of the lead.

#3. safelysecured™ Dog Collar

New in 2022! For all dog owners that prefer using collars on their dogs, there is now a range of anti-theft collars!

The Collar features stainless steel wire reinforced design, to help stop opportunistic thieves cutting them off plus Dual C-Ring Buckles for added strength.

With 4 different sizes available, almost all breeds are catered for.

* Win 1 of 3 Safely Secured Anti-Theft Harness (or Collar) & Lead Set *

Total Min. Prize Pool (depending on winner's choice / size is $350.00)

Each winner will be able to choose either the Harness and Lead or Collar and Lead in the size of their choice.

Please Note:
The harness size does NOT directly correspond to your dog’s breed or weight. Please measure your dog and refer to the sizing chart for the best fit. You may not mind wearing ill-fitted clothing, but your dog deserves the very best!

Win a PetSafe® Seaside Stainless Steel Pet Fountain for Pet Hydration Month!

January is Pet Hydration Month and with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 30°C, it is essential to encourage our pets to drink more water and more often!

We’re delighted to collaborate with PetSafe® Australia again to help spread awareness about the importance of Pet Hydration and to give away a beautiful Seaside Stainless Steel Pet Fountain!

This is the latest addition to PetSafe®'s extensive range of hydration solutions to help your pet stay happy, healthy and hydrated!

Pet fountains continuously provide your pet with fresh, filtered water.

Cats and dogs are attracted to flowing water, which encourages them to drink more water and supports their overall health. This pet fountain holds 1.8 litres of water, the perfect size for your small dog or your cat.

The quiet design of the fountain causes the water to softly bubble over the stainless steel tower (as opposed to a free-falling stream), which allows shy or timid pets to feel comfortable approaching the fountain.

The 360-degree design allows your pet to drink from the fountain from any angle!

Like Oreo, your pet can choose to drink water from the tower or the bowl!

The fountain uses a pump, carbon filter and foam filter that work together to remove pet hair, saliva and bad tastes from the water, so they always have clean water to drink.

Key Features of the PetSafe® Seaside Stainless Steel Pet Fountain:

✔️ 1.8 litre water capacity makes it perfect for cats and small dogs
✔️ Your pet needs to drink 70 ml of water per 1 kg of body weight every day
✔️ Ultra-quiet, bubbling water flow is soothing and great for picky or timid pets
✔️ High-quality, hygienic stainless steel is scratch and rust resistant
✔️ 360-degree design lets your cat drink water from all sides
✔️ Modern, compact style blends with home décor and fits in small spaces
✔️ Dual-filtration removes pet hair, debris, bad tastes and odours
✔️ Top-rack dishwasher safe for easy clean-up; hand wash the pump separately
✔️ Uses Charcoal Filter (PAC19-14088), Foam Filter (PAC19-14089) and Replacement Pump (PAC00-13184)

Win 1 of 5 copies of The Bone Ranger by Louisa Bennet

The Story: Meet Monty, the food-obsessed, naughty, and totally loving Golden Retriever who will do anything for his owner, Detective Constable Rose Sidebottom.

Of course, as these things go, Monty is no ordinary dog and Rose is no ordinary hooman. He has a super-smart nose and a network of unique informers via wee-mail; while Rose has an uncanny ability to know when people are lying.

Together they make a formidable team. But Rose is battling anxiety and her boss has put her on sick leave, so there's nothing much going on - until a stranger begs for their help to find a missing person. The case soon becomes a murder investigation, and Rose's boss warns her not to interfere.

But when dogs also start disappearing, Monty and Rose have no choice and set out to solve it. Louisa Bennet also writes crime thrillers, like Prey, as L.A. Larkin.

Win 1 of 4 copies of Dog Days - A Year with Olive & Mabel

When Andrew Cotter turned his brilliant sports commentary skills from Wimbledon and the Olympics to lockdown contests (Games of Bones) and life (The Walk of Shame) online involving his two Labradors, Olive and Mabel, the result was an internet sensation.

Their series of videos has been viewed well over fifty million times on social media, giving comfort to locked-down dog owners and spectacle-deprived sports fans all over the world.

In Dog Days: A Year with Olive & Mabel, join Andrew Cotter as he takes you behind the scenes and into the pages of his diary to reveal just how extraordinary the year has been, and what really happened after his lockdown superstar Labradors chewed up the internet and found it was quite tasty.

For Olive, Mabel and Andrew, the last year has been like no other. With normal work cancelled or scaled back for so long, it has been a time to take stock and share experiences – both the everyday and the decidedly odd. Here Andrew takes a sharply observed and often hilarious walk through the strangest of days for all of us, reflecting on how precious our time really is, especially the time we have with our dogs.

Beautiful, comical, endlessly optimistic and eternally hungry Olive, Mabel (and Andrew) have padded around from the Cheltenham Literary Festival to 60 Minutes Australia, from their living room studio with ABC News Breakfast to an appearance on Good Morning America, and from obscurity to excited whispers of “Is that really Olive & Mabel?” wherever they go. Not to mention the lucrative merchandise and advertising deals that were turned down by the dozen, and the odd phone call from Hollywood.

Through it all, Olive and Mabel have always done exactly what they do best, being themselves and being there for Andrew – and for all of us who have loved watching their brilliant videos and following their progress online. If you’re a fan of Olive, Mabel and Andrew, this funny, touching and extraordinary account of a year like no other is an unmissable treat.

Canine Arthritis is a silent disease that steals mobility, independence and freedom, but it doesn’t have to be this way!

A daily dose of Glyde™ will keep the pep in your dog’s step!

Glyde Mobility Chews is an APVMA registered Nutraceutical that contains proven levels of three key components that work to relieve the painful signs of arthritis:

✔️ Green Lipped Mussel (760 mg): A powerful anti-inflammatory
✔️ Glucosamine (570 mg): Inhibits cartilage degradation
✔️ Chondroitin (285 mg): Helps rebuild cartilage

Glyde™ Chews use natural, environmentally sustainable ingredients to promote healthy joints to let pets do everything they love to do! Glyde is available as an Oral Powder (Read our Review here) and also in heart-shaped chews with dosing that is convenient for all breeds and sizes.

This sharply written crime thriller featuring Harry the loyal service dog is set around Melbourne and will keep you hooked till the end!

‘The plot for The Long Game was sketched out on a café napkin over a 10 minute burst of scribbling. The next day I was writing the book. That’s what really appeals to me—that you can build something meaningful from an idea and a keyboard.’ said Simon Rowell.

A summer of relentless heat. A local surfer named Ray Carlson is found dead in a house not far from Portsea back beach. There’s a kitchen knife deep in his chest, and blood everywhere.

Detective Sergeant Zoe Mayer is scarcely back from extended leave, and still wrestling with her demons, but she is assigned the case—alongside her new service dog, Harry, whose instincts help her in unexpected ways.

There’s an obvious suspect for the murder, and Zoe makes an arrest. But it’s all too neat, and none of Zoe’s colleagues believes her theory that the whole thing is a stitch-up.
Except now someone is trying to hunt Zoe down.

Superbly plotted, and vividly set in the beachside suburbs and hilly retreats around Melbourne, The Long Game is a mystery about a tough and clever investigator who won’t give up.

Genre: Fiction, Crime & Thriller, Australian

Is your dog a heat-seeking missile trying to steal your doona or blanket, your spot on the couch and always edging closer to any heat source available? Then, they'll appreciate the comfort provided by the Pet-Mat Heated Animal Pad this winter!

For those with a frail or hairless dog, a puppy, a senior dog suffering from canine arthritis or recovering from surgery, it is even more essential to keep those dogs warm and cosy during the colder months.

For all these chilly nights and icy mornings, a great option is to offer them their own heated pad like the Original Pet-Mat™.

The Pet-Mat™ uses the latest advances in Positive Temperature Coefficient Technology and is designed to reach a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Celsius whether it is covered or not. In reality, a more practical heat rise of 20-30 degrees Celsius is usually maintained above ambient conditions.

Since the Pet-Mat™ works on dynamic heat transfer, it should maintain a temperature slightly warm to the touch until body contact is made. It is simply impossible for it to ever overheat ensuring a consistently comfortable use for your pet, even if left on 24/7.

For vets, utilising a Pet-Mat during and after surgery can also be a huge benefit to your patient.

To clean your Pet-Mat™ you can wash it under running water or just wipe it off with a damp washer.

Generous sidewalls, filled with orthopaedic memory foam particles, provide a comfy surface for your pet to rest against.

Win 1 of 4 copies of " How Stella Learned to Talk" Book

The ground-breaking story of the world’s first talking dog

If dogs can understand words we say to them, shouldn't they be able to say words to us?

During the day, Christina Hunger (Speech Therapist) worked with toddlers with significant delays in language development and used Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to help them communicate successfully. At night, she would go home to her new puppy Stella and wondered:

"Can dogs use AAC to communicate with humans?"

Covered by the US media, such as CNN, People and The Wall Street Journal, Stella’s story has amazed and influenced many worldwide - Christina’s videos of Stella have accumulated over 3 million views. There have been companies and devices that translate your dog’s barks and facial expressions to suggest what the dog may want, but nothing before this that would allow a dog to communicate directly to you.

Part-memoir and part guidebook, How Stella Learned to Talk will have enormous appeal to dog owners who have long dreamed of being able to know what their pet is trying to tell them.

About the author - Christina Hunger is a speech-language pathologist (the majority of her work has been with children) who believes everyone deserves a voice.

You can find her at www.hungerforwords.com and on Instagram @hunger4words

About her dog - Stella is a 3-year-old Blue Heeler & Catahoula mix. She can currently communicate 48 words on her device and is creating phrases around 5 words long – these numbers are regularly increasing! Her favourite words are “outside” and “play”. Stella started using the buttons at just 6 weeks old.

Something that you can't put a price on is a work of art featuring your favourite furkid and that you will enjoy fur-ever!

Designer Pet Portraits can also create two-pet or three-pet portraits as well as unique pet phone cases. For portraits, you can choose your background from:

Charcoal
Off-White
Charcoal with gold trim
Off-White with gold trim

The chill is in the air and it's time to gear up for autumn with all the fun activities you can enjoy with your dogs like longer walks.

With the change in season, you may notice your older dogs' mobility starting to decrease as they suffer from joint and muscle pain, a sure sign of canine arthritis.

To help your dogs feel and look their best, we teamed up with Houndztooth, an Australian company (founded in 2018) for those people who have discovered the secret to true happiness comes from being around a dog!

Each prize pack includes a bottle of their best selling Hemp Seed Oil (for optimal health, skin & coat).

Their 100% cold pressed human grade pure hemp seed oil is all natural and sustainably sourced from Australian hemp seed. High in antioxidants, this Hemp Seed Oil is nature’s perfect balance of Omega 3, 6 & 9. A balance of these fats work harmoniously in your dog’s body and are vital for your dog’s wellbeing.

Depending on their dog's needs, each winner can also choose one of the following Hemp & Health Supplements as their second product:

✔️ Hemp Anxiety Aid (for anxiety, stress & tension) or

✔️ Hemp Mobility Aid (for joint, inflammation & arthritis) or

✔️ Coat, Skin & Nails (for shine, growth & strength) or

February 14 is Pet Theft Awareness Day!

The pandemic pet demand has resulted in an increase in pet theft, worldwide. Prices for puppies in particular but also older dogs have skyrocketed, attracting greedy backyard breeders - and the interest of criminals.

The advice of the police is to leave your pet at home when running errands but we understand that there would be occasions when it's not possible, so can you do to keep your dog safe?

Designed in Melbourne, Australia, safelysecured™ is the world's first 'anti-theft' dog harness and lead set.

#1. safelysecured™ Dog Harness

✔️ This is a step-in 'anti-theft' dog harness which is the easiest harness to fit on dogs that don't like things being put over their head.

✔️ Available in 10 sizes (from a Chihuahua up to around a Border Collie size).

✔️ Stainless steel wire reinforced 'Patent Pending' design, to stop all those opportunistic thieves cutting them off! Plus, there's a Dual D-Ring for added strength.

✔️ Push button lock on the buckle clip for increased security.

#2. safelysecured™ Dog Lead

✔️ 1.20 Metres Long and 2.4cm Wide.

✔️ Stainless steel wire reinforced design, to stop opportunistic thieves cutting through the lead.

✔️ Includes 2 safelysecured™ red combination locks, (new colours coming soon...) one either end of the lead.

*** Win 1 of 3 Safely Secured Anti-Theft Lead & Harness Set ***

Total Prize Pool (depending on winners' dog sizes is min. $335.00)

Each winner will be able to choose their size (from 10 available).

Please Note:
The harness size does NOT directly correspond to your dog’s breed or weight. Please measure your dog and refer to the sizing chart for the best fit. You may not mind wearing ill-fitted clothing, but your dog deserves the very best!

8 Simple Tips to Keep Your Dogs Cool & Hydrated!

Win a Duoetto MKII Digital Dual Voltage (12v/240v) Electric 10L Storage Water Heater

With a huge domestic travel boom here in Australia and around the world, more than ever people are choosing to take their beloved pets with them on holiday in their RVs, caravans, campers and boats.

But after a great day spent splashing and rolling about, no one likes bringing in a wet dog or one covered in sand or grass clippings, especially when they share your bed!

When out camping, how great would it be not to have to plug into mains power to clean up afterwards with a hot shower, or rely on caravan parks facilities (usually right at the other end of your designated site!).

Introducing the clever Duoetto MK2 10-litre water heater (RRP: $425.00) from Aus J Hot Water Solutions.

It can be fitted into an RV, caravan, yacht or powered boat or even a work vehicle or a 4wd if you like heading out to remote places, yet maintain optimum cleanliness and comfort during your travels.

✔️ Tough, compact and durable 10L electric water heater

✔️ Selectable temperatures between 30-75ºC (86-167ºF) on 240v and up to 70°C (158ºF) on 12v
✔️ Automatic sensors allow switching to 12V when mains power is not available.

Enjoy ample hot water in remote areas such as campsites or on boats where mains power is unavailable! Read the story of beach nomad Graeme Gherashe and his inseparable Boxer, Ms Bobbie (lead shot) and how their day trips have been made so much easier!

It's also a great option for people travelling with horses in custom floats.

Win 1 of 3 copies of 'Extraordinary Old Dogs' - Uplifting True Tales of Remarkable Seniors

Written by Laura Greaves a multi-award-winning journalist, author and proud 'crazy dog lady'. Now a freelance writer, Laura has written for countless dog and pet-specific print and web publications. She's also the author of the collections: Incredible Dog Journeys, Dogs with Jobs, The Rescuers, Miracle Mutts and more!

Puppies are wonderful, but there is something truly special about an old dog. It’s the grey muzzle and salt-and-pepper eyebrows; the face that says ‘been there, sniffed that’. More than anything, it’s the lifetime of love, laughter and licks.

Most dog lovers wish their four-legged friends could live forever, and yet senior canines are surrendered to shelters and rescue groups in heartbreakingly high numbers.

But every day, all over the world, elderly dogs are doing incredible things.

Dogs like Maya, a rescue dog who pioneered the technique used to save koalas after the Black Summer bushfires.

Or Haole, who continued working as a surf therapy dog while battling cancer, and eighteen-year-old Holly, who survived for days lost in the outback.

There’s Chilli, who found television fame as a senior, and Chaser, the ‘talking’ dog who even in old age could identify over 1000 different objects.

From saving lives and breaking records to leading online movements and surviving against the odds, stately seniors are wringing every ounce of joy and adventure from their lives.

In Extraordinary Old Dogs, meet the geriatric tail-waggers proving there’s plenty of life in the old dog yet!

Trade Paperback, 288 pages
Publisher: Penguin Australia, Imprint: Michael Joseph, 1st December 2020
