21.01.2022 Please be on the lookout for this beautiful cat, we want him home safe, much loved family pet. Has thankfully come home early this morning. Great news.

15.01.2022 Do you need your cat clipped but concerned they need to be sedated!? This beautiful boy "Jaffa" visited us this week and sat happily while being groomed. Previous years he apparently needed to be placed under sedation to have this done. He sat comfortably and allowed us to clip him all over to remove matted fur and shorten his coat for summer.

15.01.2022 Bendigo Cup Day Public Holiday tomorrow. WE ARE OPEN 10am-4pm if you need us. Give us a call 44163500.

03.01.2022 Heat stress, heat exhaustion or heat stroke What is this..... technical term is "hyperthermia", which means a core body temperature above normal range. This results in injury to body tissues and organs. It occurs when heat generation by the body exceeds the body's ability to lose it. Cats and dogs cannot respond to heat in the same way that we do. We have sweat glands all over our bodies, but dogs and cats only have a few in their feet and around their noses. Many animals rel...y on panting and external cooling to lose heat. Their long thick hair coats can also predispose them to heat stroke. Signs of heat stress in your pet: Panting which increases as heatstroke progresses Drooling, salivating Agitation, restlessness Very red or pale gums and a bright red tongue Increased heart rate Breathing distress Vomiting Diarrhoea (possibly with blood) Altered mentation, acting weird Dizziness, staggering Lethargy, weakness, collapse or lying down Muscle tremors Seizures Little to no urine production Coma How to prevent this from happening: Have a cool, well-ventilated space for your pet. Outdoor pets should always have access to shade. All pets should have access to plenty of fresh clean drinking water at all times. Never leave your pet in a car even on mild days as temperatures rise extremely quickly and can kill pets rapidly. Avoid exercising animals in hot weather. Avoid hot sand, concrete, asphalt areas or any other areas where heat is reflected and there is no access to shade. If you have a pet with a long, thick coat consider getting your pet groomed before hot weather occurs. Pre-existing conditions eg old age, heart disease, obesity, collapsing trachea or any respiratory disease makes our pets more suspectible Breeds such as the brachycephalic breeds are more prone (bulldogs, pugs etc) If you suspect that your pet is showing signs of this condition it is best to seek veterinary advice sooner rather than later. If you need your dog groomed give us a call at the clinic during hours to book an appointment with our groomer.
