25.01.2022 Installing a cat scratching post inside your home can be a great way to encourage cats to scratch without ruining your favourite furniture. Scratching posts come in all manner of shapes and sizes - you can even build your own. Scratching behaviour is normal in cats, so providing them with one or more scratching posts will help save your furniture and keep kitty happy.

24.01.2022 When plaque and calculus (tartar) build-up, your pet’s gums can easily become infected. The bacteria from this infection can travel through the bloodstream and lead to the heart, which can cause heart disease. Common signs include: weight loss or laboured breathing for cats, and coughing or bodily weakness for dogs. If you’re unsure about your pet’s dental health, book them in today. To ensure your pet’s teeth are in tip-top shape, we are giving away a free dental health goodie bag with every dental consultation. Ends 30 November 2020. Book now at tablelandvet.com.au to ensure you do not miss out.

24.01.2022 If you need to transport your cat to the vet or for boarding, it’s important to always use a pet carrier, so that the cat remains safe and contained. To create a more relaxing experience for your cat, you can familiarise them with the pet carrier prior to travel and use a calming cat pheromone spray inside the carrier. Speak with our friendly team for more advice on how to make transporting your cat a positive experience for all.

23.01.2022 It’s important to always ensure your pets have access to fresh drinking water. During warmer weather, pets can quickly become dehydrated, which can lead to heat stress and can be fatal. It is a good idea to provide multiple water bowls in case one gets knocked over, and place them in a shady or protected spot so the water stays cool on a hot day.

20.01.2022 If you’re heading away on holidays and leaving your pets in the care of a pet sitter, it can be a good idea to notify us about: when you’ll be away, your best contact details and if you have any instructions in case your pet requires any emergency or healthcare treatment. Speak with our friendly team before you head away and we’ll place a note on your pet’s file so we can be best placed to help your pet should anything happen whilst you’re away.

20.01.2022 Not only does daily brushing prevent build-ups of plaque and calculus (tartar), but it also prevents gum infections that can lead to diseases in the heart, liver and kidneys. To ensure your pet’s teeth are in tip-top shape, we are giving away a free dental health goodie bag with every dental consultation. Ends 30 November 2020. Book now at tablelandvet.com.au to ensure you do not miss out.

12.01.2022 Dental disease is one of the most painful and common conditions in pets and affects roughly 8 out of 10 pets. The disease can be irreversible and the bacteria created can travel to the kidneys, liver and heart. Lift your pet’s lip to inspect for dental disease. Look out for yellow teeth, redness of gums and stinky breath. To ensure your pet’s teeth are in tip-top shape, we are giving away a free dental health goodie bag with every dental consultation. Ends 30 November 2020. Book now at tablelandvet.com.au to ensure you do not miss out.

11.01.2022 Today on the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, we will be holding a minute silence to recognise and thank those soldiers and animals who died fighting to protect our country.

07.01.2022 Exercising pets during the heat of the day can result in heat stress and other injuries, such as burnt paw pads. During warmer weather, it can be a good idea to exercise your dog during the cool of the early morning or later in the evening. You can also exercise your pet on grassed areas to ensure they’re protected from the heat of pavements or roads. Always ensure your pet also has access to fresh drinking water after exercise to prevent dehydration.

06.01.2022 If you’ve got your holidays booked and you’re planning to put your pets into boarding whilst you’re away, you need to ensure that your pet is up-to-date with their vaccinations prior to boarding. Canine cough is a common respiratory disease seen in dogs, and can be especially prevalent in situations when dogs are stressed or anxious. Make sure to book your pet in with us for their vaccinations well before you plan to head away.

03.01.2022 Imagine your pet in the wild. What would they eat? Tough and chewy foods that require ripping, tearing and chomping. These are exactly the kinds of foods your pet should still eat in their regular diet to help keep their teeth clean naturally. To ensure your pet’s teeth are in tip-top shape, we are giving away a free dental health goodie bag with every dental consultation. Ends 30 November 2020. Book now at tablelandvet.com.au to ensure you do not miss out.

01.01.2022 Regular dental care is a vital part of good horse husbandry, and just like people, all horses should have a complete dental examination performed at least once a year. As a prey animal, horses are very good at hiding any sort of dental pain, so you won’t necessarily know that anything is wrong until the severe. Our vets have a wealth of equine dentistry knowledge and can come to you for consultations. We have safe facilities to undertake dental examinations for horses both in-clinic and mobile. Plus until 30 November 2020, we are giving away a free faecal egg count as part of every dental consultation. So if it has been a while since we last looked inside your horse’s mouth, make a booking today at tablelandvet.com.au.
