25.01.2022 If you’re looking for a new way to keep your pooch fit, happy and stimulated, then maybe dog agility is just the activity for them. Whilst some breeds of dogs are better suited to agility, you can always give it a try with your pup to see if they enjoy it first. There are dog agility clubs that offer training and competitions, or try setting up your own agility course!
25.01.2022 Have you noticed your cat displaying slightly more aggressive behaviour towards you, your family or other pets? ‘Status-induced aggression’ might be one reason. This means your cat is trying to establish social dominance within their household. Avoid rewarding your kitty’s aggressive behaviour with play, attention or food. If you notice your cat blocking doors or swatting household members as they pass, just turn a blind eye until they have relaxed.
24.01.2022 Older cats and dogs can make the best pets but that also means they require a little additional care to keep them comfy, mobile and in good health throughout their twilight years.

There, we can discuss any tests, preventative treatments or ongoing management that might be needed to ensure your furry family member can stay happy and healthy. Book your pet in for a senior check-up with one of our friendly vets today.

23.01.2022 Have you ever wondered why pets need anaesthesia for dentistry? There are several reasons. Firstly, we can’t reason with your pet to tell them it will all be over shortly, so keeping them calm, still and awake while using ultrasonic scalers and polishers in their mouth would be terribly difficult. Secondly, general anaesthesia is preferred to sedation. Not only does it allow the airways to be kept clear and avoid aspiration but, most importantly, it keeps your pet stress-free and pain-free.
23.01.2022 Specialist Dermatitis Appointments Available this Thursday. If your dog, cat (or any other type of pet) has ongoing skin issues, it will be worth taking advantage of the specialist dermatologists from the Animal Dermatology Clinic visiting us at the Eaton Vet Clinic on Thursday 3rd September. It's a great chance to have your pet examined by a specialist dermatologist without the need to drive to Perth for an appointment. There are only a couple of spaces left, so please call the Animal Dermatology Clinic direct on (08)97360 387 to make an appointment.
23.01.2022 It can be tempting to feed your furry friend food leftovers but dogs can actually develop pancreatitis if they eat a rich or fatty meal, such as fat gristle, bone marrow or other fatty foods. Pancreatitis involves inflammation of the pancreas, which is a gland in the abdomen involved in the digestion of food. Symptoms of pancreatitis can include vomiting, loss of appetite and a painful abdomen. If your pet is showing any of these signs, have them checked by one of our friendly vets as soon as possible.
22.01.2022 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.
22.01.2022 Be aware that grass seeds are coming out again. Please check your dog's paws and coat after any walks through long grass. Every year we remove dozens of grass seeds from the ears, paws, noses and coats of dogs. This video shows just how quickly they can work their way into the skin.
20.01.2022 Spring means slugs and snails in our gardens. Although it can be tempting to reach for snail bait as a quick remedy to unwelcome garden guests, snail bait contains metaldehyde or methiocarb, which, if ingested by your dog or cat, makes it deadly. As snail baits are formulated to attract snails with ingredients like molasses, many dogs can find the smell attractive too. Avoid using snail bait if you have pets and, if you suspect your pet has ingested snail bait, call us immediately.
19.01.2022 Pets need access to fresh, clean water all the time, but if you notice your pet drinking more water than usual or you’re refilling their water bowl more often, it could be a sign that something is amiss. Increased drinking can be caused by various diseases, such as diabetes, kidney problems and changes in other areas of the body’s metabolism. If you think your pet may be drinking more than normal, call us for advice today.
19.01.2022 Why do we encourage you to book your pet in for annual health checks, even if they seem fine? These check-ups help us ensure your pet is staying up-to-date with their general health care routines. During a health check, we also collect information about your pet’s activities and perform a physical exam. This allows us to detect subtle health issues early on (such as dental disease, lumps and heart murmurs), allowing prompt treatment to ensure the best possible quality of life for your pet!
18.01.2022 If you notice your dog shaking their head, scratching their ears or giving off a bad odour from their ears, they might be suffering from an ear condition. Infections, allergies, parasites and foreign bodies can all cause ear irritation in pets, so it’s important to have your pet examined to determine what treatment may be needed. Give us a call today to keep your pet comfortable and their ears healthy.

17.01.2022 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.
16.01.2022 Did you know that brachycephalic (or ‘flat-faced’) breeds of dog and cat actually have wider eyelid openings and shallower eye sockets? Unfortunately, this means that their eyes can be more prone to injuries and dryness. If your pet ever develops a red, weepy or cloudy eye, book them in for a check-up with us promptly. Eye injuries are best addressed quickly to help prevent any permanent damage. Some pets may even benefit from the use of long-term eye lubricants.
16.01.2022 Some useful advice if your pet gets sick when your vet is closed.
16.01.2022 Just like cats and dogs, rabbits also need to have regular vaccinations to protect them from the potentially-fatal rabbit calicivirus disease. This calicivirus disease causes rabbits internal bleeding but luckily vaccinating is a simple way to keep your bunny protected. Depending on the age of your rabbit, it’s best to chat with one of our team to find out how often rabbit vaccinations are required.
15.01.2022 Please vaccinate your dogs. We've see 3 parvo cases already.
15.01.2022 Have you noticed your pet weeing a wee bit more? A common reason for this is cystitis, which refers to an inflammation or infection of the bladder. Cystitis can be an irritating and painful condition, causing pets to urinate more often with blood even sometimes noticed in their urine. It’s crucial that you bring your pet in for a vet examination, so that diagnostic tests can be performed and treatment can begin to get your pet back to being their happy and comfortable selves.
14.01.2022 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.
14.01.2022 To keep our cats and dogs healthy, their diet ideally requires a balance of wet and dry pet food, to ensure they receive all of the essential vitamins and minerals that our pets need. Just by chewing and crunching their biscuits, our pets are keeping their teeth clean and reducing their plaque build-up. For tips on occasional treats beneficial to healthy teeth, speak with us today.

13.01.2022 Please keep your chocolate out of reach of your dogs. Every Easter we see dogs that have raided the Easter Egg stash. With chocolate being potentially quite tox...ic to dogs, it's important to know if they have eaten a potentially dangerous amount. The attached link is for a chocolate toxicity calculator. By entering your dog's weight, and the amount and type of chocolate eaten, you can see if you need to get urgent vet attention for your dog. https://www.msdvetmanual.com//clinicalcalculator_en_v27888
13.01.2022 Over the last few years, we have noticed an increased number of brachycephalic dogs such as French Bulldogs and Australian Bulldogs attending our clinic. They are such happy, beautiful characters that it’s easy to understand why people buy them. Their big eyes and happy outlook will brighten anyone’s day. However, we are seeing a lot of these dogs with severe breathing issues, which often needs surgery to improve their quality of life. This condition is called Brachycephalic ...Obstructive Airway Disease (BOAS). If you have a brachycephalic dog or are considering getting one, please read this article. https://bunburyvets.com.au/isnt-breathing-like-that-normal/
13.01.2022 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.
09.01.2022 BREAKING NEWS Veterinarians at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center in the USA think they have worked out the reason why grapes are toxic to dogs. After rece...iving reports of vomiting and kidney injury following exposure to cream of tartar, veterinarians put two and two together and worked out that tartaric acid and potassium bitartrate, compounds present in cream of tartar, are also present in grapes. This may finally answer the long standing question as to why dogs develop kidney injury following ingestion of grapes. It also answers the question as to why some dogs are affected and others are not. This conundrum lies in the variability in tartaric acid concentration in grapes with concentrations changing based on grape type, locality and ripeness. Whilst 20g of grapes per kg (approximately 5 grapes per kg) has been reported to cause kidney damage, there is a report of a dog eating 1/2 grape per kg developing kidney injury also. So the best advice out there is still to avoid feeding your dog grapes and sultanas!
09.01.2022 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.
08.01.2022 Why is my dog constantly scratching and licking its paws? Does your dog get itchy skin, sore ears, or lick their paws constantly? They may have allergic skin di...sease. Spring and early summer tend to be the worst time for allergic skin disease in dogs as there are high pollen levels in the air. It’s no coincidence that many people with hay fever find their dog gets itchy at the same time their hay fever flares up. A lot of dogs with allergic skin disease have a pollen allergy. Rather than causing hay fever or asthma, like in people, dogs tend to get skin problems. The pollens cause inflammation in the skin, which can make the dog quite itchy. The inflammation also creates heat and moisture in the ears and between the toes which creates the perfect environment for yeast and bacteria to grow, leading to infections. Fortunately, treatment has come a long way over the last few years. There are now treatments available which are very safe and effective, and avoid many of the side-effects we see with steroid treatment. Early intervention and management of allergic skin disease is especially important. Because secondary infections are so common, we often end up needing to treat an infection as well as the underlying condition. This ultimately causes avoidable pain for the dog and costs more to treat. By treating early we can often prevent these infections from being established, and with a proper maintenance plan, we can minimise the risk of the problem recurring. Early signs of allergic skin disease include licking paws (dogs don’t do this out of habit), shaking their head, scratching excessively, and red skin around the ears, belly and armpits. Signs that a secondary infection is present include a bad smell, mucky ears, lumps in the skin, and pain when scratching their ears. If you’re worried about your pet’s skin, talk to your vet as soon as they start showing any signs of itching or redness. It will save your pet a lot of discomfort and yourself a lot of money.

07.01.2022 As spring begins to near, skin allergies will rear their unpleasant heads too. Allergy treatment in dogs has come a long way, and with such a range of new treatments available, relief is conveniently at hand.

Prevention is always better than cure.
07.01.2022 Love them or leave them, magpies are an iconic Australian bird. When nesting, magpies swoop their perceived threats to protect their young. Smart enough to distinguish friend from foe, magpies may even extend their trust to you by taking some feed. Although it’s not recommended to feed wildlife, if you do, find a natural source like mealworms from a pet store, as mince and other human foods are not balanced enough for our feathered friends.
06.01.2022 Although the arrival of spring hopefully also means the arrival of warmer weather, pets with arthritis will still require management into the warmer months and beyond. Arthritis in pets is a chronic condition requiring ongoing year-round treatment to help keep them comfortable and as active as possible. Book an arthritis check up with one of our vets today to keep your pet playful and pain free.
06.01.2022 It’s often the quieter times at night when you might notice your pup chewing at their paws. This usually means their paws are itchy and inflamed, which is commonly caused by allergies, and generally heightened by springtime. If you notice your pup licking their paws, irritating their ears or developing any areas of redness, inflammation or rashes, contact us today so we can assess and treat your pooch’s itch.
05.01.2022 When was the last time you gave your pet’s mouth a check-up? Even minor dental disease can increase the risk of kidney, heart disease and other whole-body problems. Signs of dental disease include: bad breath, stained teeth, drooling, facial swelling, difficulty eating and pain when touching the lips or face. If your pet hasn’t been in for a mouth check-up lately, call us to make an appointment today.
04.01.2022 Do you know the difference between a sedation and a general anaesthetic? Sedation involves the use of sedative/relaxant medications to make your pet feel very drowsy, so they lie still for non-painful procedures such as x-rays. A general anaesthetic involves using a combination of drugs to ensure that your pet is completely unconscious and pain-free, so that they can undergo surgical or dental procedures.
04.01.2022 If you’re heading away for a holiday and can’t take your pets with you, a pet sitter can be a great option. Not only can your pet remain in their own home where they’ll be most relaxed, but the pet sitter can also look after your house and ensure your pet gets all the attention and exercise they need. Speak with our friendly team for advice on local pet sitter options, and ensure your next holiday away is the most enjoyable time for you and your pet.
04.01.2022 Our smallest patient of the day. Found lost and dehydrated near the Eaton footy oval. It'll be released later today once it's treated and able to look after itself.
03.01.2022 Skin folds around the nose (and sometimes the tail) are a common feature of brachycephalic (or ‘flat-faced’) breeds such as bulldogs and pugs, and they require regular maintenance to keep them clean and healthy. Every day, these skin folds should be wiped with hypoallergenic, unscented baby wipes and then patted dry. If the skin ever smells, looks red or has discharge, it’s best to book your pet in for a check-up with us - they may have a bacterial or fungal infection requiring treatment!
02.01.2022 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.
02.01.2022 What does it take to become a dog trainer? Surprisingly, there are actually no minimum education or experience requirements to become a dog trainer, but that doesn’t mean there aren't standards of excellence in the dog training world. Look out for trainers who practice ‘force-free’ or ‘fear-free’ training, particularly if they have qualifications from a recognised training or behaviour program.
01.01.2022 As the weather warms up, it’s a critical reminder to never leave your dog inside your car dogs die in hot cars. As the temperature inside a car quickly rises, pets left inside can quickly succumb to potentially fatal heat stress. Do not risk your dog’s life in a hot car instead, leave your dog at home with shade, shelter and access to fresh water.
