25.01.2022 Giving your dog a lightweight summer haircut can help prevent overheating, but never shave to the skin, your dog needs at least one inch of hair to to avoid getting sunburnt. Some breeds have double coats that provide insolation from the heat so make sure you get advice from a groomer before giving your dog a clip! Double coats consist of a top layer and bottom layer referred to as the "undercoat". The undercoat consists of a denser set of hairs that are designed to provide insulation for both winter and summer months.

15.01.2022 Meet Milo! When Gerard and his family welcomed baby puppy Milo into their home it was a whole new experience. They had never owned a dog before! So to make sure they covered all bases they contacted our Fur Life Vet clinic in Finley for advice on looking after young Milo. Gerard enrolled Milo in puppy school where he graduated with flying colours and joined him up in our Best Mates program. The unlimited free consults included in the Best Mates program provided the family wit...h the security of knowing they could always get guidance and advice as they navigated life with Milo. To date Milo has received free desexing including pre-anaesthetic blood tests, regular free nail clips along with discounts on his grooming, medications, parasite control, food and merchandise. All up the family has saved nearly $600 over 6 months with another 6 months of membership still to go! And they would have saved even more if they had joined Milo up as a Best Mate before he had his vaccinations. But the best reward is a happy and healthy Milo and a family that knows they can take him to see his Fur Life Vet whenever they need to. Thats peace of mind. Do you have a cute pup like Milo?

12.01.2022 Does my pet need senior food? Seniors and geriatrics generally need lower-calorie diets to help prevent obesity and higher-fiber diets to improve gastrointestinal health. Dogs and Cats energy requirements get lower as they age and they have a slower metabolic rate. If they remain eating the same amount and type of food as their younger self they are more likely to become overweight or obese which in turn can lead to other health issues. The decision on what to feed and whether to change to a senior diet should be based on many factors your Fur Life Vet can help make recommendations based on your pet's health status, disease risk, and lifestyle.
