Interested in pet food with a smaller carbon footprint? Want to win a $20 supermarket voucher?

Roy from Thorndon

Kia ora!

I am a masters of entrepreneurship student at the University of Otago investigating opportunities for innovation in pet food.

I'm collecting data on pet owner purchasing priorities and attitudes towards the use of insect protein as a sustainable pet food ingredient.

If you are a cat and/or dog owner, it would help me greatly if you complete my anonymous survey! Takes 7- 8min.

Every participant who leaves an email address at the end of the survey will enter the draw to win a $20 supermarket voucher Countdown or New World.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Seeking Summer Pocket Money

Helen from Crofton Downs

Are you planning to go away over the holidays?

After doing really well for the last couple of summers and absolutely loving it, our enthusiastic 13-year-old is once again offering her services for pet and plant care over the coming summer.

Over the last few summers, she has managed to earn enough to buy herself a cake mixer, a Fitbit, roller skates, clothes, an assortment of fun items, endless packets of Mentos, and even funded all her spending money for an overseas trip, with enough left over to last her through the year. 😊 While she isn't sure what next year will bring, she is eager to save up a few dollars to make the most of whatever opportunities come her way.

She's keen to take care of small pets and birds, water pot plants and gardens, walk friendly dogs, and more. She is available immediately and throughout the summer until the end of January. Please consider her if you're planning to be away for a few days or a few weeks.
Rates are negotiable, and references are available from happy customers, several of whom have kept her on for weekend work throughout the year.

As always, she will be fully supervised! 😊 Text me at 0226206258 to arrange an introductory visit. 😊
