Frontline Spray Good Enough Even for White Lions

There is something about your kids taking an interest in what you do for a living that makes you want to burst with pride.
This morning the kids were watching a doco on White Lions on the Animal Planet Channel. Excitedly they race in and grab me, "Look dad, the vets are spraying the white lions with Frontline Spray to keep fleas away", my son says. "You should put it on the VetShop blog, dad" says my daughter. "How's "Frontline Spray Good Enough Even for White Lions" as a headline?" she asks.
And so, being the proud dad I am, that's today's headline.
Sure enough, the zoo vets were spraying their white lions with the distinctive Frontline Plus white and blue spray bottles, and frankly, that's not surprising. Frontline is a very good way of controlling fleas on cats, and big cats are no different. The size of lions and other big cats makes Frontline Plus spot on treatment not really an option, so, just like lots of very large dog owners, the zoo vets use the spray form of Frontline to control fleas, carefully ensuring that they use the appropriate dosage for animals the size of lions.
It just goes to show, you really do learn so much from your kids :)

Survey Results - How Much Are You Spending on Your Pets This Christmas?
- December 09, 2010

It appears from our Christmas survey that Aussie pets are lapping up the benefits of increased consumer confidence this Christmas as owners spend more on their pets.
Nearly 400 Australian pet owners responded to our survey which shows that 29% of respondents planned to spend between $26 and $50 on the family pet this Christmas, compared to 26% in 2009.
Around 10% plan to spend up to $10; 22% will fork out between $11 and $20 on thier dogs and cats and 21% will pay between $21 and $25.
There are also some generous pet lovers planning to spend between $51 and $100 on their pet this festive season who account for 15% of the group (up 2% on last year) while 1% of respondents say they will splurge more than $100 on their pets!
Fewer furry friends are missing out all together this Christmas as well, with only 1% of owners surveyed saying they will buy their pet nothing compared to 2% in 2009.
Dr Mark Perissinotto, head vet at VetShopAustralia.com.au says that its interesting to see that despite the all that we are hearing about economic “doom and gloom”, owners were not crossing their animals off the Christmas gift list.
If anything, Australians are spending more on the family pet than ever. Interestingly, the biggest increases have occurred in the $26 to $100 range and virtually every owner surveyed will purchase some kind of treat for their animal.
For many people their cat or dog is very much a part of the family so we think it’s only natural that they should want to share the joys of Christmas gift giving with them.
Dr Mark suggests that its a good idea to buy presents that will improve the quality of life of both the animal and the owner, such as a new collar and leash to encourage more exercise, a tooth cleaning kit or if you want to also do something positive for the community as a whole, consider a donation in your pet's name to your local animal shelter.

Each year the VetShop Team selects a certain number of charities to support during the year. This year we have again chosen World Vision as our Christmas Charity.
Through the World Vision Smiles program, we've donated an entire stable with two donkeys, two cows, two goats, four ducks, and six chickens with chicken feed to a community in Zambia. To reflect our appreciation of the most important people to our business, we made the donation in the name of our staff and our customers.
Like in previous years, we've chosen a gift of farm animals as they help to fight poverty on so many levels. Our gift goes towards agriculture and environment work to help communities grow food for families and restore and improve their environments and combines our love of animals with our desire to help the most needy. We know that World Vision place a huge emphasis on animal husbandry so we know the animals we've donated, as well as helping the community, will also be properly cared for.

The end of November has finally arrived which can only mean one thing - it’s time for all the moustaches to be shaved! The guys in the office are nearly ready to once again return to their former clean-shaven, handsome faces. So we would like to invite you all to take one last look at the final product from our Movember challenge:
Dr Mark |
Joe |
Steven |
They have certainly done their part for the Movember charity by raising over $1,000 that will go straight towards helping to gain awareness for men’s health, particularly for prostate cancer and depression.
The guys would like to say a big thank you to all those who donated and supported them along the way. Also, a little bet involving a carton of beer has been running in the office as to which of the three was able to grow the best moustache.
Leave a comment below and let us know who your favourite candidate is to ensure they win the carton of beer!
