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.
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:

Three weeks ago, we released a special issue of the Petitude newsletter dedicated to a local dog named Elly. She is a small Shih Tzu rescued from the pound by Dog Rescue Newcastle and she needed immediate surgery to repair the kneecaps on both of her back legs. The goal was to help Dog Rescue Newcastle raise $1000 for Elly’s operation.
Three days after launching the newsletter, we received an email from Dog Rescue Newcastle saying that they had already received a total of $1,257 from 45 kind-hearted individuals from all over Australia and as far away as Belgium and Brazil who had sent donations ranging from $2 to $100 each to help for Elly’s veterinary care. And on the 16th of this month, the 4ELLY coupon code we created also generated total sales of $332.19 (courtesy of eight generous Petitude customers) and 15% of which was also sent for Elly’s operation. Dog Rescue Newcastle will use the additional funds to pay for Elly’s desexing, vaccination, and post-operative vet visits.
If you are planning to raise a rabbit, you will certainly need a rabbit hutch to serve as a home and play area for your bunny. You can either purchase one or build your own to save some money.
The first thing that you must do before building a rabbit hutch is to research or create a design that does not only look good, but also utilises both the quality and quantity of space for your rabbit to play, move around, and rest.
One of the many responsibilities of a dog owner is to keep his precious pet comfortable and happy. One way to ensure this effortlessly is to get a dog playpen. In fact, buying one can make life more enjoyable for you and your pet dog. If you are a busy pet owner and you want to do your chores around the house without being disturbed by your beloved pet, an indoor dog playpen can really help.
