The main difference between caring for a pet in Australia as opposed to the rest of the world is the prevalence of venomous creatures, such as snakes and spiders. Dogs and cats need to play outside and be left unsupervised for at least some of the time. Therefore, there is no sure fire way to completely guard against the possibility of your pet being bitten. Having said this, there are a few things that can be done to minimise the possibility of this happening, as well as a list of procedures that should be followed in a scenario where a bite does occur.
For starters, do not let your pet ruffle around in run-down areas or run into structures that look abandoned. If you hear your pet barking outdoors, always make sure you go out and check to see what it is bothered by. There is a good chance that it may have stumbled upon a snake and in this case, a timely intervention may enable you to prevent a bite from occurring. Lastly, in a scenario where you suspect a bite has occurred, move your pet into a safe area and immediately call the Department of Environment and Conservation snake removal service on 9334 0292 or 9334 0333 for further instructions.
