Blue Moon Pet Services was a finalist in the Corporate Social Responsibility and Regional Business categories at the 2019 Deakin University Geelong Business Excellence Awards.
Blue Moon offers doggie day care for up to 85 dogs with 12 fully qualified staff.
It’s the first dog day care centre in Geelong only council approved centre of this size in the Geelong region.
Blue Moon also offers grooming, training, doggie day care bus, products, birthday parties, breed catch ups and photography.
“We are very proud of meet all the requirements in the code of practice and are proud members of the Pet Industry Association of Australia who regulate the industry relevant to dog day care centres,” Blue Moon’s award entry says.
Emma O’Dwyer started Blue Moon because of her passion for dogs and wanting to see them happy and socialising/playing with other dogs.
“I started working in the animal industry at my local pound where I dealt with horrible cases of animal abuse, anxious and scared dogs and found this distressing on so many levels,” Emma said in Blue Moon’s award entry.
“I experienced severe work place bullying and never wanted to experience that again.
“I created Blue Moon so dogs could be happy, loved, safe, wanted and owners had peace of mind that their dogs would be cared for 100% at all times. Many people comment on the environment we have created in the centre and can feel the passion we all have for the dogs.”
