These treats are home made in the owner's kitchen, not manufactured overseas or in a warehouse somewhere. They are 100% natural, made from human grade meat bought from the local market with no additives. They have a pleasant smell but don't leave you with messy hands or pockets. I use these treats for obedience training and little rewards at home. In the past, my dogs have jumped onto the bench and stolen the bag so keep them out of reach. I haven't met a dog that hasn't gone crazy for them. Communication is prompt and faultless. Postage is super quick.

We booked a council hard rubbish collection and obviously put too much rubbish out so we were left with quite a lot of junk on the nature strip we needed to remove asap. We gave Matt a call and he was able to pick it up that day. He loaded the truck himself and cleaned up all the little bits of rubbish hanging around. Really friendly guy, fast service.

China Bar Signature is the most amazing place I have ever eaten. It is an all you can eat Asian buffet with fresh seafood (oysters, prawns, crabs), dumplings, peking duck, sushi bar, freshly cooked Asian dishes, upstairs grill and desserts. The seafood and duck is only available for dinner, lunch is obviously cheaper than dinner. The staff come around often to take plates away and give you clean mess bowls, refill drinks etc. It can get quite noisy but if you are sitting at one of the booth seats, it is a really pleasant atmosphere. The decor is quite lovely for a buffet and the quality of the food is as good as any of the better restaurants in China Town. I love China Bar Signature so much, I often feel when I walk out of there that if I died right then, I would have lived my life to the fullest and be content. CBS is my favourite place on earth. I can't wait to go back again.

Ruthless Leather is an online business specializing in attractive, strong leather collars and leashes mainly for strong dogs but they can also make them for smaller dogs too. Everything is handmade at home and tested. While the collars might seem quite expensive, a lot of work goes into making one and testing to make sure it is safe and secure. The quality workmanship also means you won't need to be replacing the collar every year. Ruthless has many beautiful designs, no studded collars or diamonties. Just great quality collars. Ruthless can also do collars and cuffs for people and also had a pet photography business as well.

New Beginnings Animal Rescue is a not for profit domestic animal rescue and rehabilitation organization. They save cats and dogs on death row from pounds all over Victoria, get them vet care and put them in a foster home until an appropriate forever home is available. What makes New Beginnings different from a lot of other rescues is that they often take the animals that other rescues don't want. Old, sick, injured, emotionally scarred. They get the best veterinary care possible and are looked after in their foster carer's homes until the animal is well enough and social enough to find their proper home. I have one dog from this rescue and she turned out to be such a sweet, lovely little dog. I will definitely get another dog from these guys in the future. They rely entirely on donations and you can get the donation details from their website. They are also always in need of foster carers. Their adoption fees are the cheapest I have come across, no matter how much an animal has cost them in vet fees, their adoption fee stays the same. They are always available to talk to if you have any questions about your new adopted pet and do their very best to make sure the right animal goes to the right home, for good. These guys truly love the animals.

I've been going to this clinic for over 2 years now since I moved into the area. They have a large waiting room with a tv, usually have a kids movie on. Free water on the counter. They are a bulk billing surgery and you can make appointments by phone or online. There is an onsite pathology collection and also a dental clinic. It is very clean, the waiting room is spacious and you don't feel like you're picking up everyone else's germs. They have a few female doctors too if that's who you prefer to see. The reception staff are nice and I highly recommend Dr Omar Seedat. He is a great doctor and seems to really care. Also the toilets are always very clean. My only issue with this place is occasionally, the doctor is running quite late and a wait of up to 40 minutes sometimes occurs but the girls on reception will tell you if this is the case and let you know how long you have if you want to go do some shopping.

ziilch is a website where people can post things they no longer need and others can request that item for free. It is free to join, free to post and free to take. The idea is to keep reusable things out of landfill and prevent people from dumping unwanted goods on nature strips. There is a feedback system like ebay for communication, reliability, honesty. There is so many categories and you can search for things in your area or specify how far away you are willing to look. When you post something, anyone can request it. They have the option of telling you why they want the item so if you have multiple requests, you can select who you would like to offer the item to. The general idea is that the person requesting it will pick it up from you but occasionally postage or drop off is arranged. This is done privately between yourself and the other person. Ziilch also provides a label you can print off if you want to leave a package somewhere for someone with the ziilch details. Every now and again they do give aways.

Been here a few times. While the kebabs are very nice (I get chicken) I don't like kebabs made with bread, I prefer pita so I have been getting the pides lately. The samsun (lamb mince) is really nice but a little dry. The chicken and mushroom pide is the absolute best I have ever had. All pides are $5. They have the usual range of dips and salads and also serve hot chips. There's a couple of tables and chairs out the front but that is it.

I have eaten here on a few occasions, having both the sushi and the hot meal menu. I wouldn't say the hot meals are anything great but they are substantial for the price and better than food courts. The sushi is very nice though, really fresh fish and rice, no bones in the salmon is a plus. There is free water and green tea. The menu is quite extensive but I don't think you can go past a good Teriyaki chicken and rice. The salmon sashimi is really good, nice texture and flavour and served at a nice temperature. They have a frequent diner type program where you can buy a card for eg $100 with $125 credit. They unfortunately are not open on Sundays and shut early on Saturday, around 3pm.

Staff are really friendly, food is quite fancy for pub fare, patrons are usually a more mature crowd (not many 18 year old louts here). Really nice decor, lots of different areas to hang out and have a drink or dinner. They have daily food specials (Monday is Roo and wine night for $10!) The bands and musos booked for gigs are usually really good too and it's free entry.
