20.01.2022 Black with white stripes or while with black stripes? How and why zebras evolved to sport black and white stripes at all are questions that have tested scientists for over a century. From camouflage to warning colours, thermoregulation to fingerprint equivalent, these magnificent yet mysterious stripes have been the subject of many theories, but an experiment using stripy blankets on horses may have just solved the mystery once and for all!

17.01.2022 Top Australian Dog Breed #2: First recorded in Australia in 1929, the Labrador Retriever is good tempered, energetic, adaptable, and devoted companion. Often termed ‘gundogs’, their versatility has made them suitable for work as guide/ assistance dogs for those with vision loss or other disabilities, in customs and the armed forces. Not to mention they also make an excellent family pet. The Labrador is one of the most recognisable dogs, and their short weather resistant coat... comes in three colours, black, yellow (ranging from light cream to red fox) or chocolate. A few good brushings a week should keep it looking its best, more often during moulting season. Known for the waggiest tails in the world, they are extremely loyal, patient, friendly, and will bond with children and other accommodating family pets. Their large stature and bark will appear to ward off strangers, but they will welcome them with love and enthusiasm. They have a strong zest for life and exercise, so regular walks of at least 30 minutes with some time off leash is ideal. To fuel this boundless energy, these dogs have a big appetite, and their diet needs to be regulated to ensure they do not put on weight. Labradors are large, robust dogs, that stand about 57-62 cm tall at the shoulders, with an average lifespan of approximately 1216 years. Like many dog breeds they should get lots of exercise and regular vet check-ups to keep them happy and healthy. At #2, they an are indeed one of Australia's most favourite! #topdopbreed #labrador #gundogbreed #labradorretriever #vetsydney

16.01.2022 Top Australian Cat Breed #2: If you find yourself working from home for the unforeseeable future, this could be the cat for you! The Australian Mist, known formerly as the Spotted Mist is a breed of cat developed right here in Australia. Derived from Burmese, Abyssinian, and the Domestic short hair, it is a delightfully loving, confident, and resilient breed. This mixed ancestry has resulted in a moderate sized, shorthaired breed, with a coat that could be one of a number o...f colours. A truly companionable pet, they are tolerant of handling, disinclined to scratch, bright but relaxed. They crawl into the nearest lap regardless of invitation, and their curious 'people focused' nature makes them an excellent indoor friend and affectionate companion. A gorgeous breed with a caring temperament. Generally a low maintenance and healthy breed, they can be prone to gingivitis, it is therefore important to maintain their dental hygiene. This can include a good quality dry food or dental diet, dental chews or even brushing their teeth if they will let you! The Australian Mist typically weighs between 4 and 7 kg, and with regular health checks, will enjoy a lifespan of usually 12 to 15 years. #australianmist #topcatbreed #cats #kittens #vet #petlovers #catlovers #sydneyvet

12.01.2022 Love or hate the look, Movember is a very worthy fundraising event on the human calendar, but did you know that testicular tumours are one of the most common tumours in older intact male dogs? Fortunately, because of the high rate of de-sexing, the overall incidence in dogs is not very high. Nevertheless, it looks like there are some kindred spirits in the animal world that still want to lend their support to Movember!

A Kelpie Cross Border Collie who recently visited the Vetmed team for his 3rd puppy vaccine, 1st Leptospirosis vaccine as well as Nexguard Spectra for parasite protection against fleas, ticks and more.

01.01.2022 Most people are unaware that as well as the traditional red poppy worn to mark the Armistice Day of 11 November 1918, that there is also the purple poppy, remembering animals that died during conflict. Today we also remember and commemorate all the animal deeds and sacrifices in war. #lestweforget
