21.08.08 - WIN A TRIP FOR TWO!
The fourth annual National Desexing Month (NDM) is now more than halfway through but it’s not too late to take advantage of the great specials on offer for August and to get your cat or dog desexed before the breeding season begins.

This year we have around 100 participating vets and councils nationwide actively supporting the month by offering special deals for cat and dog owners having their pets desexed throughout the month.

It’s as simple as clicking on the National Desexing Month Poster to the left of this article to find the NDM participating vets list and contacting them directly. You do not need a certificate from us for National Desexing Month

Our heartfelt thanks to all the community focused NDM participating vets whose commitment to helping bring an end to the tragic euthanasia of more than 550 healthy cats and dogs a day is truly commendable. If you have friends or family looking for vets for their companion animals please consider recommending the wonderful clinics supporting the National Desexing Network and NDM.

Our sincere gratitude to the very generous support of Ten Travel, Cenvet, Dirty Dog Eyewear and the Animal Welfare League Qld for their sponsorship of the fantastic National Desexing Month prizes up for grabs this year! All the details of what you can win and how you can win can also be found by clicking on the National Desexing Month poster to your left.

Please let your friends, family, neighbours and colleagues know about the importance of desexing and the vital role it plays in helping to bring an end to the cat and dog overpopulation problem.

Best of luck in the prize draws and on behalf of all the cats and dogs of Australia thank you for your support!



07.11.07 - Summit a Huge Success!
The 2nd National Summit to End Companion Animal Overpopulation was recently held on the Gold Coast. With 100 delegates from Australia, New Zealand and the USA it once again proved to be a huge success. Held over two days, the summit provided council members, animal welfare organisations, pet industry representatives and veterinarians to name a few, a chance to come together and work towards an end to the tragic problem of pet overpopulation. This years' keynote speaker was Michael Mountain, President and Founding Member of Best Friends Animal Society, the largest animal sanctuary in the USA. His inspirational and informative presentations gave a great insight into the issues facing animal welfare around the world. You can now download the Proceedings booklet by clicking on the links which are below and to the left for a full overview of the presentations from the Summit. It has been decided that the event will now be held bi-annually with the next summit to take place in 2009.
And……
The 3rd National Desexing Month took place in August and once again, we would like to thank all the councils and veterinarians who participated making the month a huge success. This August saw a whopping 592 desexing certificates issued by NDN, a result that we are very proud of. Also a big thank you to all the responsible pet owners who took the opportunity to have their pets desexed.
The $500 Coles/Myer gift voucher went to Dr JC Mullins Surgery in Kingaroy Qld for a second year. Congratulations to Dr Mullins and all his staff!!. There were many vets who went to great efforts and Hampton Park Vet Clinic in Victoria also had a large number of entries. We will be distributing the lucky winners of the Dirty Dog sunglasses very soon so keep your eyes on the post. Thank you again to all who participated and we hope to make it even bigger and better in 2008!
