21.01.2022 LETS PAWWWWTY! The silly season is here, the champagne is popping, the music is cranking and Brutus is shaking... The holiday season can be extremely overwhelming for our pets, so here's some tips to make it a little less stimulating and stressful for Brutus. Educate your guests - ensure everyone knows that you have a dog and how they should interact with your pet. Isolate Brutus if drinking heavily - intoxicated people may lack the judgment and ability to interact wi...th animals safely. LOUD NOISES - give Brutus somewhere quiet and isolated where he can relax away from all the noise. Socialise safely - if unfamiliar dogs will be at your party, have them both meet outside first to avoid territorial issues. Be wary of children - Ensure kids are familiar with dogs and how to interact with them safely. See more

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS TO LOOK OUT FOR please note dogs that are infected may not show any clinical signs until there has been significant damage done to their internal organs.

05.01.2022 MEOWY CHRISTMAS - lets talk about Festive Felines The holiday time can be especially stressful for our feline friends, with the constant flow of visitors, bright lights and loud noises. So how can you help? Make sure you provide a safe, quiet and comfortable place for your cat to hide. Have your cats bedding, litter, food and water in a spot that is easily accessible and away from high traffic areas. If your family & friends decide to bring Brutus over for a play da...te, keep him away from the cats to avoid any unnecessary stress. Keep an eye on your kitties around Xmas decorations such as tinsel, light cords and hanging ornaments, these can be very dangerous if ingested. Senior cats may be more prone to stress-induced illness when there is too much chaos going on in your home. Look out for signs of stress in your cat such as, inappropriate elimination, inappropriate scratching, diarrhea, isolation, decreased appetite & over grooming. Call our friendly staff to discuss products that may help alleviate stress or just for some advice! #meowychristmas #catchristmas #acaciavet #cat See more

05.01.2022 PRESLEY Meet one of our most recent Puppy Preschool graduates, Miss Presley. Presley has all the correct tools up her sleeve (or Mum's sleeve) to become a well mannered and well socialised dog. We love to hear back about how our graduate puppies are progressing and it was so great to see Presley again for a check in and see just how much potential she has. Just 5 minutes of training a day is enough to keep our pups focused and on track, along with the added benefit of strengthening the bond we have with our new puppies.
