Siamese cats with their distinct colour point patterns is one of the most popular breeds of domesticated cats in the world. Not only are they very loving, active companions, these cats along with their unique feature and appearance also have a very unique personality. They are intelligent and are very people oriented and enjoy their human companion all the time.

One of the best traits of Siamese cats is that they have a surprising tendency to “talk” to people whom they are affectionate with. One of the most obvious traits is their voice. They can at times be extremely loud, sounding like a crying baby. Many have very harsh squeaky voices while others may have a soft meow. Some may be constant non-stop talkers, while others talk only if they have something important to say.

Reuben is a little guy with a lot of love to give and a big puppy smile on his dial 24 hours a day. Never a dull moment with Reuben around!

He’s one of the sweetest little dogs. He has a very good, temperament, although he’s clearly been treated badly in the past.

Shy at first, he actually loves attention and loves running games, and really loves to see you when you get home from work or wherever you’ve been. For a three year old he is very puppy like and would be a great addition to an active couple or a family with older children. He does get very excited sometimes and might not understand how to be calm around infants or toddlers.

Dear Petitude Customers and Friends,

August is Pet Dental Health Month and as part of Petitude’s advocacy on pet health and responsible pet ownership, we would like to encourage everyone to schedule a dental checkup for your pet to ensure the best dental health possible.

Dental disease is probably one of the most common health problems diagnosed amongst our domestic pets today. This can result in tooth decay, infected and bleeding gums and in more serious cases, can cause problems involving the heart and kidneys.

In general, dental disease can be prevented with regular dental checkups and proper diet. These should be part of your pet’s dental health plan. Appropriate feeding and early detection can prevent or delay the development of any dental disease.

Good news is, we received an invitation from RSPCA Victoria, a non-government community based animal welfare charity, inviting Petitude customers, subscribers and web visitors to take advantage of their FREE pet dental checks throughout this month of August. RSPCA Veterinary Clinics at Burwood East and Peninsula are giving free nurse dental checks. This is a great opportunity to make sure that your pet’s dental health is A-OK!

For more information or to schedule your pet’s dental checkup, please call:
RSPCA Burwood East Vet Clinic:  (03) 9224 2222
RSPCA Peninsula Vet Clinic:  (03) 5978 6722

Please spread the good news and share the link!

Cheers,
The Petitude Team
