On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show, we are joined by two guests.

The first is Vision Australia Orientation & Mobility specialist Cath Caddis who is taking part in the Seeing Eye Dogs Bay of Fires fundraising trek. We're going to be talking about the challenge and the track ad about how you can support her or take part yourself.

We're joined by Dr Ashe Mooney of Seeing Eye Dogs' vet team talking about skin issues in dogs.

You can register to join us for the Seeing Eye Dogs Bay of Fires Adventure on the Seeing Eye Dogs website under “How you can Help” emailing the show for more details or by calling 1300 059 686.

On this life-changing fundraising adventure you’ll experience two specialist guides who will drive, cook and lead you with care across stunning coastlines, rock formations and wetlands. Share heart-warming meals like a big chilli cook up and comfortable homestead accommodation as you adventure the 50kms of Tassie red rock coast line.

Every participant in the Seeing Eye Dogs: Bay of Fires Adventure will be required to or as a criteria of the program raise a minimum of $3,000 per person or $5,000 per pair. These funds will be pooled together to help breed, care for and train pups to become future Seeing Eye Dogs. Our program welcomes around 200 puppies every 12 months; that’s a lot of hungry mouths to feed, find volunteer carers for and train in any given year. Your support is vital to Australians who are blind or have low vision.

If you would like to support Cath and Sophie you can donate on her Seeing Eye Dogs Bay of Fires fundraising page.
