Did you know?

A golden retriever named Buck that darted from his owners last summer after being spooked by a train whistle and went missing for six months is back home in Washington.
The 7-year-old dog survived despite apparently spending most of the winter exposed to heavy snow and temperatures well below zero before he was found taking refuge under a collapsed building.

Voodoo is a Gold Coast cat that enjoys living on the edge. His owner, Sheree Washington, reported that he survived a fall from the 34th floor of her apartment building.
Voodoo fell 34 floors and landed on a bush, his only injuries were a couple of scratches.

Bushfire assistance
It has been a difficult start to the year for the thousands of Victorians that have been affected by the recent bushfires. Lives, communities, homes and much-loved family pets have all been lost in devastating circumstances.
4Legs is committed to helping out the pets, livestock and wildlife that have been affected by this tragedy. 4Legs will be making a $1000 donation to Dog Victoria's Bushfire Appeal to assist their efforts to help dog owners and their friends affected by the bushfires.
Send us an email (by Sunday 22 February) and show your support for this great cause and we'll include your name as part of our contribution.

Valentine's Day
February the 14th is Valentines Day, a time to spend with the people you love.
It's a day of roses, chocolates and romance, and more recently, a time to share with your furry friends.
So we've come up with the top three ways to share Valentine's Day with your pet this year.
1. This year, why not resolve to take your pooch for a daily walk? Just 30 minutes each day will keep you both healthy and happy - is there any better way to share the love?
2. Makeover magic. Whether you do it yourself or hand the reigns over to a professional, your pooch will feel great after some pampering. A wash and a new haircut will leave them feeling like a new dog!
3. The quickest way to your dog's heart is through his stomach, so make sure you feed him something tasty like one of our 4Legs Home Cooked varieties.
