...Grain Free Diets
Grain free dog food has increased in popularity over the last few years. It was previously reserved for dogs with certain health issues, but has recently been used more readily with the perception that certain grains are bad for dogs. So, is grain free a better diet for dogs?
Animal Welfare Matters
Check you’re doing it right
On 1 October this year new animal welfare regulations came into effect. Whether you’re a commercial farmer or live on a lifestyle block, own a pet or run a petting zoo, transport livestock or ride horses; if you’re responsible for an animal – these regulations could apply to you. Check out the information here – www.mpi.govt.nz/animalregs These changes build on what was already required and also set some new rules. Regulations make it easier for MPI and the SPCA to take action against animal mistreatment. New penalties such as fines will be issued for certain actions. We will continue to prosecute the worst offenders under the Animal Welfare Act. We’re making life better for animals, and you can help others get it right too. • Check! Are you doing it right? Encourage others to check too - www.mpi.govt.nz/animalregs • Ask! Email us your questions - animalwelfare@mpi.govt.nz • Tell! Call us about an animal welfare issue - 0800 00 83 33

If a disaster happened today...
Pets are an important member of the household for many families. In a disaster they will also be affected. How well your pets cope with a disaster event such as a flood, volcanic eruption or destructive earthquake depends on the actions you take now to plan for them.
Whether you decide to stay put in an emergency or evacuate to a safer location, you will need to make plans in advance for your pets.
If you must evacuate, take your pets with you if possible. However, if you are going to a public shelter, it is important to understand that animals may not be allowed inside. Plan in advance for shelter alternatives that will work for both you and your pets.
Make a back-up emergency plan in case you can't care for your animals yourself. Develop a buddy system with neighbours, friends and relatives to make sure that someone is available to care for or evacuate your pets if you are unable to do so. Be prepared to improvise and use what you have on hand to make it on your own for at least three days, maybe longer.
