However, microchips should always be paired with
an ID tag. The primary reason for this is that
microchips can't be seen with the naked eye. Nobody
knows that your pet is micro chipped until they run a
chip reader over the pet, which means that in order to
find out your pet's name and who it belongs to,
whoever finds your pet has to take them to have their
chip read. This relies on many things from the person
who finds your pet. To name a few, they must know
and understand what a microchip is and how it
works, and not assume that because the pet doesn't
have a visible tag that it does not have an owner.
The fastest and most risk free way to help your pet
find its way home is to have an external ID tag fitted
to the collar to accompany the microchip. This way,
whoever finds your pet can easily see the pets name
and your contact details, and quickly contact you
direct.
PET ID TAGS
Microchips are an effective,
convenient and useful form of
ID for your pet. They are small,
usually can't be removed, inert
and don't cause problems for
your pet. It is a law in every
state for dogs to be micro
chipped, and a law in most
states for cats too.

Collars:
• They are less invasive and if worn from puppy
stage your dog won't fight wearing it
• A collar is less likely to get caught in long hair
• Collars can be left on all day with comfort
However;
• Pulling can increase likelihood of a neck injury
• Excessive pulling on a collar will restrict the
airways
An important thing to note is that just because you
might use a harness to walk your dog, this doesn't
mean that they shouldn't wear a collar. Your pet's
ID tag is attached to their collar, and it is an easy
way to grab onto your pet if for some reason they
break free of their harness. Think of the harness
as the controlling mechanism and the collar as the
accessory!
Gentle Leaders:
A new one to the mix is a gentle leader.
This goes around the dog's snout and
around the back of their head, which
leaves the neck free. It is not a muzzle!
When fitted properly, your dog is free to
open his mouth to eat, drink, pant, fetch,
bark and even bite - except when you
close his mouth by pulling on the leash.
This means that when your dog pulls on
the leash, their nose is pulled towards
you and immediately slows them down.
Speak to your local pet expert to see if a
Gentle Leader is the right fit for your pup!

WHAT ARE TICKS?
Ticks are parasites from the arachnid (eight-legged)
family that once attached to your pet, begin to feed
by burying their mouthparts under your pet's skin and
sucking blood back into their bodies.
Unfed ticks are tiny and can be various shades of
black, brown, red or tan. After attachment and
feeding, they swell to the size of a pea and start
producing a potent toxin that affects the pet's central
nervous system and causes progressive paralysis
and possibly death. Not all ticks cause paralysis (only
the paralysis tick)
All ticks can have many adverse health effects on
dogs and cats including anaemia from blood loss,
allergic reactions and skin irritation.
The ticks of greatest concern in Australia are
paralysis ticks. You can help your pet avoid tick
FLEAS ANDTICKS
YOUR PET'S HEALTH AND PARASITE MANAGEMENT – DID YOU KNOW?
• A female flea can lay up to 50 eggs a day, which can be up to 5,000 in her lifetime.
• Fleas can cause anaemia in your pet. Because fleas live on the animal and eat blood to survive.
• Fleas love humidity, when something warm, like your pet, moves by a flea pupae, they unzip their cocoon and jump on the animal. All this happens in 3 seconds and the flea can jump as high as 1.2 metres.
• Paralysis ticks are external parasites that suck the blood from their host animal. It's the tick's salivary glands that produce the toxin, which affects the host's nervous system.
poisoning and a potentially costly visit to the vet (or
death) with daily inspections and regular treatments
Ticks are usually found around the pet's head and
neck areas. Signs that your pet may be suffering from
tick paralysis include:
Lack of or diminishing movement in the back legs,
sometimes moving to the front legs
Trembling and lack of coordination
Gagging or coughing
Variation in tone of bark or meow
Groaning noise with breathing
Trouble swallowing
Vomiting or gagging
If your pet shows symptoms of tick paralysis it's
important to get them to a vet immediately.

Some parasites can be very harmful
to your pet and prove costly and
inconvenient for you. That's why we're
here to help protect your pet, family
and home from creepy crawlies
inside and out!

DANGERS OF FLEAS
Flea bites not only make your pet uncomfortable and
itchy, they bring other problems:
Pets can be hypersensitive to flea saliva and suffer
an allergic reaction.
As fleas feed on blood, young or sick pets can
become weak and may even die as a result of blood
loss.
Flea larvae can contain tapeworm eggs. If your pet
eats an infected flea, it can become host to this
parasite.
If untreated, fleas can infest your whole household
and start biting humans too!

There are a number of Flea and Tick preventative
treatments on the market, so speak to your Just
For Pets Pet Expert to see what best suits your
pets' needs.
WHAT ARE FLEAS?
SIGNS YOUR CAT OR DOG HAS FLEAS
•

•
•
•

•
•
•
•
•
•
Fleas are dark brown, 1mm to 2mm long and the
most common external parasites for both cats and
dogs.
In the right conditions, fleas can live for a few
months on pets (also known as the “host”) they
require a host to survive.
Females lay around 50 eggs every day (and up to
5,000 in their lifetime), which fall to the ground and
hatch into tiny larvae that burrow into carpets, hide
in upholstery, between floor boards and skirting
and often the pet's bed. The larvae then develop
into pupae and remain dormant for many months.
Flea bites are itchy for all pets and can lead to flea
allergy dermatitis.
The typical flea season runs September to April in
Australia. However, due to high humidity and
temperatures in some areas of Australia fleas can
be all year round. Outbreaks can even occur in
warmed winter homes.
Check your pet regularly for fleas. While infestations
are easily treated, it's best to get on top of fleas early to
reduce the costs and inconvenience of de-fleaing your
home! Signs include:
Intense and persistent scratching or biting of their
coat
Over-grooming resulting in hair loss
Agitation, distress and restlessness
Skin legions or scabs
Tiny black specks (flea dirt/faeces) on your pet's
fur or the area where they typically sleep
Red spots on the fabric where your pet typically
sleeps
Visibility of fleas crawling on your pet's skin or coat.

FISH HOW TO AVOID A FATALITY IN YOUR AQUARIUM

Just For Pets represents independent retailers in the pet industry providing a
range of business services together with collective buying power. All stores are
independently owned and operated, so you can be guaranteed you'll receive
great service and most importantly great advice. However as part of the Just For
Pets buying group each store has the means to bring you more savings through
everyday low prices and fantastic specials!
Our store owners believe that pets make life better! They are experienced
operators who are genuinely part of their local communities. Many of our
retailers are second or third generation family businesses that are passionate
about customer service and of course animals of all shapes and sizes!
Through our collective buying power you will find your local Just For Pets
retailer is able to provide fantastic prices across the store, whilst our regular
Petalogues (catalogues) provide customers with some fantastic “over and
above specials”.
At Just For Pets we pride ourselves on understanding the needs of animals and
their owners and we love sharing that understanding with you. We are not just
another supermarket experience. As our name suggests, we're Just For Pets,
and we look forward to seeing you soon.
