Pawprint Magazine - August - October 2019

In this issue

At the SPCA, we believe that each and every animal deserve equal attention and protection. This is exactly what our Veterinary Department has been doing on a daily basis - we provide care to both owned and homeless animals. In this issue’s cover story, we share with readers how our veterinary team put the mission ‘What You Spend on Yours Helps those Outdoors” into action. Other highlights include: a column where Dr Jane our Chief Veterinary Surgeon shares tips on caring for three-legged dogs; the danger of using “Bubble Backpacks”, and a feature article on “Duty of Care”, a concept which has been brought up in the proposed amendment of the ordinance related to the prevention of cruelty to animal. Aside from the wonderful adoption story of Clifford who is now living happily in in the Netherlands, we also have an interview story of a CCCP carer, and last but not least, a set of DIY instructions on how to create a spinning bottle feeder puzzle for your dog companions.
