Pet obesity a 'significant concern' as vet warns owners not to feed dogs human food

Danielle Clent Reporter from Western Leader

Hi neighbours, SPCA says obesity in pets has become a serious health problem. It is recommended that leftovers are not given to dogs without speaking to a vet first.
Do you know your dog's healthy weight? Do you feed it leftovers?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
