25.01.2022 When travelling with dogs in the car, it’s important they are adequately restrained for both their safety and yours. Many car restraints for dogs aren’t thoroughly tested for safety, with reviews by Choice and the NRMA previously failing many of the available products as unsafe for people, pets or both. Make sure you research car restraints before buying and purchase a good quality restraint that has been thoroughly safety tested to protect both you and your pooch.

24.01.2022 If you have changed your phone number or address since your pet was microchipped, then it’s time to update their chip details. Check the paperwork that came with your pet’s microchip, as often you can call or update details online. If you no longer have that paperwork, check your pet’s microchip on www.petaddress.com.au to find out which registry they are on. If you don’t know your pet’s microchip number, just bring them into the clinic and we can scan their chip for the number.

23.01.2022 Meet Mac the intrepid little dog who recently bounced back from his second losing bout with a nasty brown snake. Vets Dr Lewis and Dr Jess saw Mac one Saturday afternoon when he had started to froth at the mouth and show some serious neurological symptoms. After confirming with his owners of a snake bite the vets rushed to give Mac some snake anti-venom and sedation to calm him down as well as intra-venous fluids to flush the toxins out of his system. Luckily for Mac this treatment proved effective and after a short hospital stay on fluids Mac was able to go back home to his loving family.

20.01.2022 Have you got your furry friends on tick prevention? Paralysis ticks are out in force and without protection on your pet, they can suffer from the toxin of this nasty parasite. When a cat or dog is affected by a Paralysis tick, they lose mobility in their back legs and can also struggle to breathe due to laryngeal paraylsis. In some cases, tick paralysis can result in death if left untreated ... We have a wide range of tick and flea prevention at all three of our clinics, pop in today to grab some and ensure your pet is safe this summer! See more

18.01.2022 Heat stress is a risk to all pets, but particularly dogs and those kept in cages, such as rabbits and birds. All pets must have access to shade in a well-ventilated area, as well as constant access to cool, fresh water. Dogs should only be exercised in the early morning or evening. If your pets show signs of heat stress, such as open-mouth panting, collapse, or excessive salivating (dogs), contact us immediately. Let’s stay safe this summer.

18.01.2022 How often you should wash your dog depends on their breed, lifestyle and skin health. If your dog is a short-coated breed that lives outside, they probably only need to be washed with gentle dog shampoo twice a year. If you have a long-coated breed, or a dog that lives inside, or one that goes swimming regularly, you might want to wash more often. Dog’s don’t need to be bathed weekly, unless they have a skin condition that requires medicated shampoo.

17.01.2022 Are you fe-line like you need a holiday? If you're planning a getaway this summer, it’s important to check your cat has everything they need before boarding. Make sure your cat’s parasite control and vaccinations are up-to-date. All catteries require proof of current F3 vaccination before accepting your cat. If you’re unsure whether your cat is fully vaccinated, or you know they’re overdue, give us a call today.

12.01.2022 Although COVID gave us all a free pass on 2020’s resolutions, there are some simple new year resolutions you can make for 2021 that are good for you and your pet. Consider walking your pet in new areas, such as exploring a different part of your neighbourhood or visiting the beach. Try brushing your pet’s teeth daily, as teeth brushing is an effective way of reducing bad breath. If you don’t already, make a habit of playing or walking your pet daily.

09.01.2022 After the year that’s been, we all need a holiday. And while Bali might be out of the question, there are plenty of things to see and do in Australia. If you’re planning on boarding your dog this summer, make sure their parasite control and vaccinations are up to date. All kennels require proof of current C5 vaccination before accepting your dog. If you’re unsure whether your dog is fully vaccinated, or you know they’re overdue, give us a call today.

09.01.2022 Meet Rollo Recently, Rollo has been getting into a bit of mischief. When his mum found him vomiting, she brought him into our hospital. After a consultation with Dr Jess, we decided to take some x-rays as his symptoms lined up with what we call a "foreign body". This is when a dog or cat has eaten something that is not quite.. digestible. ... Pictured below is Rollo the puppy and one of his x-rays. Can anyone guess what he might have swollowed? ... To be continued!

08.01.2022 Although often thought of as pets for children, rabbits and guinea pigs are personable and affectionate animals that make great pets for adults too. A high quality, hay-based diet is important to ensure the health of these animals, as is appropriate housing and company. Guinea pigs don’t cope well on their own and need to live with other guinea pigs. If you’re thinking of bringing a rabbit or guinea pig into your family, contact our friendly team for advice.

07.01.2022 ... For those guessing our foreign body at home! Did anyone guess correctly? This is what we pulled out of Rollo's intestines.. A garden pebble! It is definitely not unusual for puppies to chew things/swollow things while they learn to explore this big world. We see all sorts of things from kids undies to toys and even corn cobs! We are very happy to say that Rollo is back at home with his family and feeling much better after his surgery. If you look closely at the second picture, you can see the buldge in his intestine where the rock was lodged!

07.01.2022 Between unwrapping gifts, swimming, eating pavlova and playing board games, it can be hard to give your pet the attention they deserve during Christmas. Make a plan beforehand to ensure they are entertained all day long. Make some frozen, stuffed Kong treats with peanut butter or salt-reduced stock as a treat. Consider organising a puppy playdate or, if they’re not a fan of noise, keep them in a cool, quiet room with food, water, toys and bedding until the guests head home.

06.01.2022 Nothing can bring an otherwise tough dog to their knees like a torn nail. Torn nails can bleed dramatically, but the real issue is the exposed bundle of nerves and blood vessels in the ‘quick’, which can lead to significant pain and infection, if left untreated. It’s best to bring your dog into the clinic if they’ve torn a nail. If there is a lot of bleeding, you can gently wrap their foot in a towel and bring them straight down.

02.01.2022 With grooming salons open around the country post-lockdown, it’s time to tame that winter coat. Some dog breeds like Cavoodles, Samoyeds, Pomeranians, Poodles and Shih Tzu’s need grooming year-round. Other breeds may just need a ‘winter blowout’ to help shed their winter coat. Grooming is an important part of pet care and helps keep your pet’s coat healthy. If you notice your pet’s skin looking red, inflamed, greasy or dry, contact us today for advice.

01.01.2022 A fear of fireworks is a relatively common problem in pets. They will often show a fear or panic response when the noise starts and can often be difficult to settle until the noise has stopped. If your pet’s fear is severe, we strongly recommend you see one of our vets for a behaviour consultation beforehand. If your pet is only mildly stressed by the noise, keep them inside, turn on the TV, provide them with a safe space (like a crate) and offer them plenty of pats and comfort.
