Dog Wash Feature on Brisbane Extra

Nose 2 Tail Pet Care was featured again on Brisbane Extra. This time we were giving tips to owners wanting to wash their dogs at home.

PET WASHING - Friday 20 March 2009

A lot of owners chose to wash their own pets, however we have a large clientele who for a number of reasons use either our mobile service or bring their dogs into our salon in Oxley so we can do the job for them!
Using a hydrobath service for your dog will allow your pet to have a much more thorough clean than what you can do at home with a hose or in the sink. The high pressure hose used gets right through their coat and down to the skin - they also enjoy the massage this provides!
Another benefit of a hydrobath is the water savings as the water is recycled while washing your dog, compared to it running down the drain when you wash them at home. Nose 2 Tail Pet Care uses fresh warm water for every dog that we bath, do there is never any concern about other dogs dirt getting onto your dog.
Why not try our service and compare the time it saves you, how dry you stay, how clean your dog is and the great feeling you get when you pamper your pet!!

Dog Tree

A new networking site has been set up to connect Australian dog owners with each other. Australian Dogtree is a free service that aims to help dog owners find playmates and walking friends for their canine companions. For more information check out

Evidence shows vaccinations for pets can cause damage

'Science of Vaccine Damage’ based on research from Purdue Veterinary School, provides a compelling report on the risks associated with vaccinating our pets.

I have had a conversation with my vet previously in regards to vaccinating my pets. He said that it wasn't really necessary to do them annually as most animals have a build up of the vaccines in their body. It is more so that owners have a reason to bring their animals in every year for a check up.

I personally don't think this is a good enough reason for vets to frequently be putting these chemicals straight into our animals. If new owners are told they need to bring their pets in for annual check ups I believe that most owners would be responsible enough to do this.

Please take the time to read the article!
