If you're thinking about whipping up some homemade dog treats 🐶, here are a few pointers to keep in mind:- First off, steer clear of excess salt and seasonings; too much can upset their stomach and lead to more serious health issues down the line. - Next, be mindful of contamination risks—dogs can get food poisoning, too! Make sure to wash your hands and utensils well, and toss out any spoiled or expired treats promptly. - Don’t go overboard. 🐕 Treats should complement your pup's balanced meals, not replace them. - Always check in with your vet before making big changes to your dog's diet. If you plan to include homemade treats regularly, it’s a good idea to discuss any allergies or health concerns with them.#dogfood #dogtreats #homemadedogfood ... See MoreSee Less

What’s the Perth Royal Show?

A big, vibrant annual event at the Claremont Showground in Perth that brings together fun, agriculture, and community in a week-long celebration.

This event is all about showcasing Western Australia’s farming, agricultural, and rural communities. The first Royal Show in 1905 attracted 30,000 visitors – today, you can expect more than 350,000! That, and over 400 entertainers, 300 performances and over 101 free things to do once you’re inside.
