How a dog should be wearing their collar… in my opinion
I make and sell dog collars, I also walk dogs and see all the different ways people put on dog collars and well – there actually is a right way! I don’t like to say there is a wrong way because in New Zealand, having a collar to show your dog is currently registered with there registration is absolutely enough.
My favourite animal charities

My favourite dog friendly spots in Auckland
As someone who lives in Auckland, I perceive Auckland as… not very dog friendly! Of course, there is the obvious like Bunnings and pet stores but there is so much more to "dog friendly" in Auckland! Each and every shop (including supermarkets) is allowed to state their own rules for dogs, and our trains and buses are pet friendly with little dogs having to be in a carrier and big dogs muzzled, but pet friendly nonetheless! However, there are some places better than others so for the best places (in my opinion) to take your dog in Auckland!

I just had surgery and I own a dog… Some tips for if you need surgery as a dog owner!
Before surgery, I really didn’t think much at all about having a dog and having a surgery on my abdomen, I didn’t care, I just wanted to never be in that pain again and I was living every day and every meal in fear of that pain. Luckily – Petal is quite well trained but there are some things I taught her that served us well in surgery recovery and if you have a surgery coming up I thought I would share some things I recommend and found helpful with my dog.
