25.01.2022 When travelling with dogs in the car, it’s important they are adequately restrained for both their safety and yours. Many car restraints for dogs aren’t thoroughly tested for safety, with reviews by Choice and the NRMA previously failing many of the available products as unsafe for people, pets or both. Make sure you research car restraints before buying and purchase a good quality restraint that has been thoroughly safety tested to protect both you and your pooch.

24.01.2022 How gorgeous is baby Hank?! Can anyone guess what breed he is?

23.01.2022 Rach and lovely old lady Trudy! We loved looking after this smoochy girl for the day

23.01.2022 Do you own a snub-nosed or flat-faced dog? Also known as brachycephalic dogs, flat-faced breeds such as pugs, French bulldogs and British bulldogs are at an increased risk of developing breathing problems, and this risk only increases as they get older. Close monitoring can catch the problem before it gets too severe. We are happy to do a brachycephalic airway assessment on any flat-faced breed, just give us a call.

21.01.2022 Dachshunds, corgis and basset hounds all belong to a group of breeds that share one thing in common: short legs but long bodies! Whilst these chondrodysplastic breeds are growing in popularity, their short legs can predispose them to painful conditions if not caught early. Arthritis, abnormal growth (such as legs that aren’t straight) and even spinal conditions can be caused by short legs. Chat to one of our vets about how we can help your short-legged dog.

20.01.2022 After the year that’s been, we all need a holiday. And while Bali might be out of the question, there are plenty of things to see and do in Australia. If you’re planning on boarding your dog this summer, make sure their parasite control and vaccinations are up to date. All kennels require proof of current C5 vaccination before accepting your dog. If you’re unsure whether your dog is fully vaccinated, or you know they’re overdue, give us a call today.

13.01.2022 Are you fe-line like you need a holiday? If you're planning a getaway this summer, it’s important to check your cat has everything they need before boarding. Make sure your cat’s parasite control and vaccinations are up-to-date. All catteries require proof of current F3 vaccination before accepting your cat. If you’re unsure whether your cat is fully vaccinated, or you know they’re overdue, give us a call today.

12.01.2022 We remember them all

12.01.2022 Cats can come into season multiple times a year and breed easily, so it’s important to have your cat desexed to prevent unwanted kittens and other potential issues. Cat shelters often have large numbers of kittens needing to be re-homed, so the best advice is whether your cat is male or female, do the right thing by your cat and get them desexed now! Contact our team for more information about desexing your pet.

11.01.2022 Heat stress is a risk to all pets, but particularly dogs and those kept in cages, such as rabbits and birds. All pets must have access to shade in a well-ventilated area, as well as constant access to cool, fresh water. Dogs should only be exercised in the early morning or evening. If your pets show signs of heat stress, such as open-mouth panting, collapse, or excessive salivating (dogs), contact us immediately. Let’s stay safe this summer.

08.01.2022 Miss Holly visited us today! What a pretty lady

07.01.2022 Happy boarders

04.01.2022 Nothing can bring an otherwise tough dog to their knees like a torn nail. Torn nails can bleed dramatically, but the real issue is the exposed bundle of nerves and blood vessels in the ‘quick’, which can lead to significant pain and infection, if left untreated. It’s best to bring your dog into the clinic if they’ve torn a nail. If there is a lot of bleeding, you can gently wrap their foot in a towel and bring them straight down.

04.01.2022 Did you know that flat-faced dog breeds such as pugs and bulldogs are at increased risk of overheating because they can’t cool down as quickly as other breeds? This is due to their short muzzles and compact features. You can reduce their risk of overheating by avoiding exercise during warm weather, keeping your pet lean, providing them with a cool, well-ventilated area, and getting an airway assessment and physical exam done regularly by our vets. If you are worried your dog may be overheating, call us immediately.

03.01.2022 If you have changed your phone number or address since your pet was microchipped, then it’s time to update their chip details. Check the paperwork that came with your pet’s microchip, as often you can call or update details online. If you no longer have that paperwork, check your pet’s microchip on www.petaddress.com.au to find out which registry they are on. If you don’t know your pet’s microchip number, just bring them into the clinic and we can scan their chip for the number.
