23.01.2022 PREPARE AHEAD FOR THE THUNDERSTORM & FIREWORKS SEASON - The loud and unexpected noises of thunderstorms and fireworks can cause our pet’s extreme distress. It’s therefore important to create a safe, calm environment for them. This will prevent them from hurting themselves or becoming lost in panic. Prepare Know when the storm or fireworks is starting and ensure your pet is in a safe and secure place well before noises commence. ... Create a safe place Pets can have a ‘flight’ response to unexpected noises, sometimes ending up kilometres from home in their panic. Because of this, pets should be kept indoors whenever possible, including rabbits & guinea pigs. Creating a calm, secure area for your pet inside your house will also help them feel protected. Close the curtains and put familiar bedding in a small, confined hiding place. A laundry or bathroom is ideal. Otherwise, allow your pet to be with you while you play music or turn the television on to cover the sounds. (NOT the fireworks) Speak to your veterinarian early If you are concerned about how your pet will cope speak to your veterinarian early! Short term medications may help your pet but supervision is still recommended. Monitor for signs of stress Staying home with your pet will help hem feel comforted. If this isn’t possible, try to arrange overnight boarding at a kennel or veterinary hospital. When the noises begin, keep an eye out for subtle stress signs. Dogs may lick their lips, yawn or begin panting. Other signs may include vocalisation, heavy panting, shaking and shivering. If your pet does show signs that they are frightened, never raise your voice or punish him. Speak softly, stroke them, try to distract them, and reward calm behaviour with positive playtime and treats. A treat filled kong toy or filled Kong or favourite toy is a great distraction. Microchip & Collars If your pet does manage to escape, keeping microchip and registration details up to date is vital. A collar with identification is also a good idea Locating a lost pet Losing your beloved fur baby can be devastating. If you have lost your pet, contact your local veterinarians, Penrith City Council Animal Rangers, Hawkesbury Companion Animal Shelter and the various lost & found Facebook groups in the area.

We all know dogs have an incredible sense of smell; but it gets even more amazing. Our WebVets have shared with us that dogs can smell disease. The diseased or cancerous cells secrete different waste products to healthy cells, and the dogs’ nose can detect these tiny differences in smell. Amazing!

19.01.2022 Each year, thousands of unwanted cats and dogs end up in shelters and pounds, simply because people are not getting their pets desexed, amongst other reasons.

A number of our Queensland Greencross clinics are participating in Operation Wanted - an annual desexing initiative run in conjunction with RSPCA QLD where pet parents rece...ive a 20% discount off their usual desexing fee. To be eligible, please head operationwanted.com.au to find your nearest participating Greencross Vet and register online.

12.01.2022 HALLOWEEN can be the scariest night of the year, but keeping your pets safe doesn’t have to be trick. Follow these simple precautions to keep your pet happy and safe. STASH THE TREATS : The candy bowl is for trick-or-treaters, not Deefa & Ceefa. Remember that popular Halloween treats can be toxic to pets. Chocolate can be very dangerous for dogs & cats, and sugar-free lollies containing the sugar substitute xylitol can cause serious problems in pets. KEEP DECORATIONS OUT O...F REACH : While our decorations can make our party look festive, they can also be a real problem if curious kittens or destructive dogs decide to play (and often eat ) them CARE WITH COSTUMES : For some pets, wearing a costume may cause undue stress. Often a Halloween bandanna is a better option. STRANGER DANGER : Halloween brings lots of strangers knocking at the door. This can also be very stressful for your pets. Keep your pets safely tucked away in their favourite place with their favourite toy. For more information phone Greencross Vets Coreen Ave on 0247313055 See more

08.01.2022 Notice to our caring community - We understand that there may be many lost pets today. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide the community service of taking in stray pets at this time. Our hospital is currently at capacity and we have been advised by Penrith City Council Animal Services that they are unable to collect stray pets from our clinic at this time. This means we will not be able to arrange transfer of animals that are not microchipped or pets whose microchip de...tails have not been updated. We are always happy to scan a stray pet in an attempt to reunite family members. We will continue to provide care to injured strays presented to the clinic to alleviate pain and discomfort. ALL STRAY PETS, where owners cannot be contacted, are unable to be left at the clinic and will need to be taken directly to HAWKESBURY COMPANION ANIMAL SHELTER by the caring members of the public. Thank you for your understanding.
