25.01.2022 We know were feeling the COVID weight (thanks Netflix and takeaway!) but many of our pets are too! Although a kilo or two here and there doesnt seem like much for us, it can mean a lot for our furry friends! Weight problems are common in dogs and cats and can be successfully managed by a combination of dietary change and exercise. There are many factors that contribute to pets becoming overweight such as age, breed and medical problems (and maybe a few extra treats here an...d there ;) ). Overweight pets live shorter lives than healthy weight pets, and pets who are just a few kilos overweight as little as 20% have an increased risk of developing serious diseases such as diabetes, osteoarthritis, and cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. All pets have an ideal weight for their size and breed. Your veterinary healthcare team will be able to tell you what this is, and show you how to check that your pet is maintaining a healthy weight.

23.01.2022 Best friend, wildlife warrior and radio host... Dodge was certainly one of the most special patients (although they're all very special) we have had the pleasure of knowing and we just wanted to share some of her antics with you. Her adventures were definitely amazing and the time she spent looking after wildlife with her family has left them with the most extraordinary of bonds. A born fighter, she surprised everyone with how long she held on for. She will be sorely missed here at Ashgrove but we were so fortunate to be part of her wonderful life! We hope you enjoy seeing these photos as much as we did! And yes, that is Bob Irwin! Thank you to Dodge's family for providing the photos to post.

22.01.2022 Meet Wilbur! This little cutie came in with his sister for her check up on Saturday because sometimes he gets scared at the vet. We gave him lots of treats and cuddles and popped him on the scales just to get used to being here. Eventually he warmed up and even gave us a smile and a wave! If your pet struggles with vet anxiety, please feel free to pop in anytime for the nurses to give your furry friend some yummy treats! Thanks for visiting, Wilbur!

13.01.2022 R U OK? Now more than ever is this one of the most important questions we can ask each other. Take the time today, and every day, to ask someone if they are okay.

In an industry that has such a high rate of mental illness, we're very lucky to work with such a great team that has a big focus ...on colleague support and care as well as mental health and we pride ourselves in being able to extend our support to our clients.

10.01.2022 Saturday Puppy Love Zuri star Rodesian Ridgeback patient came in for his puppy vaccinations today and we absolutely fell in love. Check out the size of those feet and those gorgeous puppy eyes. Always remember that our larger breed puppies, like Zuri, require a specialised large breed puppy diet to help their joints and ensure a good weight as they are growing so fast! We also recommend keeping them on the large breed puppy diet for up to a year and a half old.

09.01.2022 Check out this cute face! This little baby brushtail came in to our clinic after mum was hit by a car. She was found in mum's pouch nice and healthy. After a good check over with the vets, she went off to one of our amazing wildlife carers to be looked after until she can be released back to her natural habitat. If you come across injured wildlife, please give RSPCA or your nearest vet a call for advice on what to do. And remember, always check the pouch for a baby.

09.01.2022 Happily ever after... Meet Astro and Stormi, two greyhound rescues from Animals in Need Brisbane. Astro, formerly Danny, used to visit the clinic with his big sister Stormi twice a week to have his bandages changed after falling off the back of a ute. Such a brave boy, Astro never once complained and was a star patient throughout the entire rehabilitative process. Although he had a bit of a rough start, both Astro and Stormi have found a loving home together and, as you can see, are both very happy and very spoilt! Their wonderful new mum sent us this photo this morning and we couldn't not share. This is just one of the many reasons why we love what we do!

07.01.2022 Seperation Anxiety While it was great to spend so much quality time at home with our pets during lockdown, many of our pets may be struggling without having you around all the time now. Dogs are particularly more susceptible to separation anxiety, although cats can experience this too. Signs of separation anxiety may include: ... - Barking and vocalisation, particularly when you are leaving or not home - Inappropriate toileting - Destructive behaviour - Hyperexcitement when returning home So what can we do to help our pets become comfortable when we can't be at home? There are many different things we can do to help from behaviour training, exercising before leaving home and a variety of supplements such as Zylkene and Adaptil Pheromone. If your dog is experiencing any of these symptoms book in for a chat with one of our friendly team who can help point you in the right direction.

06.01.2022 We are happy to announce that grooming is back up and running! Owners and pets no longer have to deal with the stress of home haircuts. If your furry friend needs a post isolation make over give the clinic a call on 07 33 666 666 to book in your pets grooming session.

06.01.2022 Spring is here but so are the ticks! While all year round is tick season here in SEQ, we see a significant spike in cases at this time of year throughout the warmer months. Deadly to both dogs and cats, the best treatment for paralysis ticks is always prevention but it is always best to know what to look out for in your pet so you can seek help. Signs and symptoms of tick paralysis include: ... - Lethargy - Vomiting - Wobbliness (particularly in the hind legs) - Change in bark/meow - Difficulty blinking (if tick has attached around the head) - Difficulty breathing / panting - Paralysis in advanced cases If your pet is showing any of these symptoms or if you find a tick on your pet, call or visit us or your nearest emergency clinic immediately. If you have found a tick and removed it, please bring it with you so we can identify the tick. Check out the video below for a great demonstration on checking your pet for ticks by the team at Animal Emergency Service: https://www.facebook.com/abcinbrisbane/videos/10156680795364669/?t=1 Video source: ABC Brisbane

06.01.2022 Puppy mayhem! With everyone at home more often, many families have opened their hearts to another little set of four paws. Last Saturday, we were swamped with puppy vaccinations.

Wed love to see some photos of your cute fur babies at home!

05.01.2022 We know the information surrounding COVID-19, coronaviruses and your pet can be a bit overwhelming and confusing. There are many strains of coronavirus, some of which affect our pets. COVID-19 however is a new strain affecting humans. There is currently no evidence that supports COVID-19 being transmissable from pets to humans. Check out this cool infographic from Boehringer Ingelheim that demonstrates the differences between the different coronaviruses.

05.01.2022 Clinic renovations update part 3! Some of you may have noticed that we were closed over the weekend. We were finally having our very ancient reception desk removed and this fab new one put in! We love it and hope you do too. A massive thank you to Trent and his team at Invision Kitchens and Cabinets Pty Ltd for all their hard work and the beautiful custom made desk they made for us! Invision are a wonderful local company who are currently still open, so if youve got a project youve been putting off, now is the time to get in contact with them. Were certainly glad we did!

04.01.2022 A little isolation fun... can you guess all the dog breeds? Some of these even stumped some of our staff. Good luck! Thanks to Ayrton Veterinary Hospital for the original post.

03.01.2022 Contactless consultations... We know that leaving the care of your pets in the hands of someone else can be difficult, particularly when you can't be there for them. While we don't enjoy it either, to ensure your safety as well as ours it is a necessary preventative measure we have taken. Rest assured that the consultation certainly isn't "contactless" for your pet - as evidenced by the positively glowing Rocky. They get lots of love from the nurses and vets alike and you ca...n often find us sitting on the floor, cuddling them, playing with them and presenting our new friends to the other staff to meet (particularly the puppies and kittens)! Don't worry, they also get PLENTY of treats. We've also found that it has been a great opportunity for socialisation. So while in many aspects it is different and hard, we strive to make the visit as enjoyable, safe and stress free as possible for both you and your furry friend.

03.01.2022 Clinic renovations are in full swing here at Ashgrove and we are all very excited! Check out the video below for an update on our paint job and see why we were closed over the weekend.

01.01.2022 Peppers weather forecast? Too cold for anything other than napping in her jim jams and curling up on the couch! In the colder months, just like people, your furry friends arthritis tends to flare up more. This can make them stiffer and less likely to join in on family activities. It may also make it harder for them to get up and down, use the stairs and get on and off furniture (we know you spoil them!). If youre worried your pet has arthritis or is slowing down, please book in with one of our friendly veterinarians to work out a tailored treatment plan to get your pet back to their usual selves! Keep an eye out next week for some tips to help manage your pets arthritis at home.

01.01.2022 COVID-19 Update Due to current government advice, and in order to keep all staff and clients safe, we have updated our clinic visit protocols.

To assist us in continuing to provide this, we ask that you read the below handout to familiarise yourself with our new protocols. We wish to sincerely thank you for your continued support and understanding during this time. Our thoughts are with all those who have been effected by COVID-19 in any way.
