Dogs For Sale Brisbane

If there is one city in Australia that lives up to the name of a dog-friendly capital, it is Brisbane. Located in the southeast corner of Queensland, this animal-loving place understands responsible pet ownership.

It does this by ensuring a dog owner follows five simple rules: registering their dog, microchipping it, cleaning after it, making sure their backyard is securely fenced, and having their dog walk before them in public areas.

Because this city adores its canines, the Brisbane City Council itself encourages dog owners to prevent their pets from becoming nuisances to neighbours, endangering others, and destroying wildlife.

It is no surprise, therefore, that one can find a dog enjoying a day out by the riverside, at the beach, outside a café, at the park, or any other pet-friendly place in the city.

If you’re a Brisbanite who is longing to bring a new dog into your home, below is a chart that may help you decide what breed to choose. The capital city of Queensland has a relaxed vibe with many attractions to check out, so you will want a canine that can make your days indoors and outdoors extra special.

Public Spaces

Brisbane is a veritable playground for dogs, with a vast array of parks, beaches, and trails at their disposal. Starting with the inner-city, New Farm Park is a local favourite. Offering off-leash areas and a dedicated dog-friendly section, it’s an ideal spot for a day out.

Further afield, the Kedron Brook Dog Off-Leash Area provides a substantial space for dogs to roam freely, complete with water access for those who fancy a splash.

For the beach-loving canines, the Nudgee Beach Dog Off-Leash Area is Brisbane’s only off-leash dog beach, providing an expansive sandy area and calm waters perfect for your pup to frolic freely.

Those who enjoy an invigorating walk or hike aren’t left out either. Rocks Riverside Promenade is a fantastic dog-friendly trail. And while dogs must be kept on-leash here, the surrounding sights and smells make for an exciting adventure.

Transportation

Getting around Brisbane with your four-legged friend is relatively simple. On Brisbane City Council buses, ferries, and CityCats, small dogs are allowed if they are in an approved carrier.

Larger dogs can also travel on CityCats and ferries, provided they are on a leash and wear a muzzle, making for a scenic and enjoyable journey down the Brisbane River.

For a more personal mode of transport, several taxi companies in Brisbane, including Black & White Cabs, welcome pets. And with apps like Uber Pet, finding a dog-friendly ride has never been easier.

Accommodations

When it comes to dog-friendly accommodation in Brisbane, there’s a wide array of options available, ensuring every pooch feels pampered.

Many hotels, such as the W Brisbane and The Johnson Brisbane, offer pet-friendly rooms where your dog can relax in style. Amenities usually include a comfy pet bed, food, and water bowls, as well as pet-friendly room service menus.

On the other hand, a number of Airbnb rentals across Brisbane open their doors to dogs, with features such as secure yards and close proximity to dog-friendly parks. Just be sure to check the specific rules or additional costs associated with your booking.

Common Questions to Ask your Dog Breeder

Now that you have made your research on your breed of choice, it is time to find yourself a reputable breeder.

A legitimate seller will be able to give you a dog that is happy and healthy. They should even offer you support after you have brought your dog home. If you have questions to ask, they should be happy to help.

It is important that you meet both parents of your desired dog. Should your breeder not own the sire, ask for some photos of it or at least meet the dam. This way, you can check for the mother’s temperament and overall health.

She should have the qualities you are looking for in your breed of choice. See if she is clean, well-behaved, and protective of her litter (if any). If she appears aggressive or fearful, take it as a sign that you should look for another breeder.

You will know if your breeder is ethical if your puppy of choice lives with the mother, has access to food and water, and is kept in a clean place.

Dogs need to be socialised up until they are at least eight weeks old. This way, they grow up to be well-rounded adults. Preferably, they should be raised in an environment where they can meet other people and pets.

They should be slowly introduced to new situations and environments before they are given away. Additionally, their breeder should also expose them to different sounds and smells at an early age.

Even the healthiest-looking sire or dam can have a disease in its genetic lineage that it can pass on to its offspring. To minimise the risk of your desired puppy suffering from breed-specific issues later on in life, ask your breeder for the health certificate of the parents.

Request for x-rays or other tests that may rule out genetic diseases such as hip dysplasia, lymphoma, and cataract.

Once you bring your dog home, it is important that you continue feeding it the same food it has been fed by its breeder for at least the first few days. This is because a sudden change in diet can lead to issues like stomach pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and vomiting.

Some breeders will give you dog food that’s good for the next couple of days. They may even give you a diet sheet to help you out with your dog’s nutritional needs.

After a few days, you can finally switch your dog’s diet. It is recommended to do it gradually. Choose foods that are high quality and well balanced.

All puppies get infected with worms at birth which is why regular deworming is advised. Worming should be done when the puppy is about two weeks old. It should be repeated every two weeks.

In terms of vaccinations, puppies should receive their first round of shots when they are six to nine weeks old. Their second round of shots should be administered when they are 10 to 12 weeks of age.

Before bringing your chosen puppy home, it is recommended to ask your breeder how many shots it has already had.

Find out when the next vaccination schedule is and request for a medical history of the dog. Finally, ask your seller if they have a refund policy in case any serious health problems arise in the first few weeks. If there is none, take it as a sign to find another breeder.

A good breeder often provides a health guarantee as an assurance that their dog has been treated with care. Typically, its contents include proof of vaccinations and documentation that the puppy has no genetic conditions.

Other certifications your breeder may provide are registration papers, veterinary documentation, proof of lineage (if applicable), and a contract of sale.

Unfortunately, health guarantees and contracts can be faked. To avoid getting scammed, always buy from a verified breeder. Do a background check on your seller and see if they have positive reviews on their website.

If possible, ask your breeder for references. Make it your responsibility to call previous buyers to learn about their experience and find out if your breeder is trustworthy.
