Frannie's Story

Frannie is a larger-than-life girl with a fun-loving personality and a heart full of affection. Friendly, outgoing, and always ready for an adventure, she is sure to bring plenty of joy and companionship to her new family. Frannie loves spending time with people and enjoys being involved in everyday activities, whether it's going for a walk, playing with her favourite squeaky toy, or simply relaxing close to her humans.

Despite her size, Frannie is still very much a puppy at heart. She can be excitable and enthusiastic, which sometimes shows through as jumping or being a little mouthy when she's having fun. For this reason, she would benefit from ongoing training, consistent guidance, and plenty of positive reinforcement to help her continue developing into a well-mannered companion. She is best suited to a home with children aged 8 years and older, pending a successful meet and greet.

Frannie is very social with other dogs and particularly enjoys playful canine companions. She would thrive in a home with another friendly, active dog who can match her energy and enthusiasm for play.

This affectionate girl would love to be welcomed indoors as part of the family, as she enjoys human company and prefers a home where someone is around more often than not. Frannie is looking for a secure property with 6-foot fencing to keep her safe while she enjoys her new life. In return, she will reward her family with endless loyalty, affection, and plenty of entertaining puppy-like antics. Frannie is ready to find a loving home where she can truly belong.

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.
