If your pet is home alone and you can't get to them, what will you do?

The Balanced Dog Ltd

COVID-19 is not the only emergency you may face as a pet parent. We are using the virus publicity as an opportunity to remind our clients about the need for emergency planning for your pet. (Many people in Christchurch now didn't experience the earthquakes, for example)

For those of you who may live alone with your animals, we have sourced a limited stock of these key chains. Make sure you plan for someone to help your pets if you are unable to do so. $9.50 each plus $1.30 in postage (delivery free to our massage clients and those attending Learn to Massage Your Dog on 22nd March). Msg us here with questions. Email your order and postal address to orders@balanceddog.co.nz

Price: $9.50

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.

The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.

According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
