Rambo's Story

Meet Rambo - Chaos, Cuteness, and Unlimited Zoomies Rambo is an active, lovable young Kelpie mix who's basically part dog, part bouncing bean, and part snack enthusiast. This goofy guy is on the hunt for a home where he's not just a pet, but a full-fledged family member (preferably one with snacks and adventures). He'd make the ultimate adventure buddy whether it's walks, hikes, or supervising you while you try to do literally anything. Like any classic Kelpie, Rambo is super smart, eager to please, and just needs a bit of help remembering that "sit" doesn't mean "sit only when I feel like it." He already knows sit, shake, and down, and with some consistent training, he'll absolutely thrive and maybe even show off in dog sports one day. He loves soft toys (though fetch is still a mysterious concept he's contemplating) and would do best getting all his meals through enrichment to keep that busy brain occupied which he LOVES and the harder, the better! Rambo will need daily physical exercise and plenty of mental stimulation. He's not the "hang out in the backyard and contemplate life" type. Without enough to do, he may redecorate your home in ways you didn't approve. He's open to joining the right family, with children welcome to come meet him, and he'll need to meet any potential doggy housemates at the time of adoption. If you're ready for a smart, silly, high-energy best mate, Rambo is ready to bring the fun.

What should I feed my dog?

Your dog's diet should be based on a high-quality, balanced premium commercial dog food that is suited to their specific life stage (puppy, adolescent, adult, pregnant, senior) and health condition.

The amount of food your dog needs will depend on factors like their size, breed, age, and activity level. However, it’s important not to overfeed or underfeed. Your vet can weigh your dog, assess their body condition score, and offer feeding recommendations.

To prevent bloat, which can be life-threatening, adult dogs should be fed at least twice a day and should not engage in exercise right before or after meals. This is especially important for deep-chested breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds.

Make sure fresh drinking water is always available. Do not give your dog milk as it can lead to gastrointestinal issues.

Should I feed bones to my dog?

Bones offer dogs nutrients and mental stimulation while helping remove tartar from their teeth. However, bones can also break teeth, cause blockages, and carry harmful bacteria. Consider these factors to make an informed decision for your pet and family’s wellbeing.

Dental chews are a good alternative if you wish to provide your pet with entertainment that assists with teeth cleaning. Visit RSPCA World for Pets for a range of quality dental chews for your dog.
