25.01.2022 NEW COVID 19 UPDATE Unfortunately we are going to have to re-introduce some COVID-19 guidelines due to the current outbreak in Victoria. The purpose of this post is to reassure you that we are still open for business and have multiple contingency plans to deal with the rapidly evolving situation. As a family owned business, it is paramount that we are able to stay open both to help with your pets and to keep our staff employed. ... Thus, we will be taking further measures to try and control the spread of COVID-19 within both of our clinics. Starting Wednesday (July 8th) we will once again implement the following: 1. Our clinics will once again split into two completely separate teams in the hope that we can maintain services in the face of a staff member becoming infected with COVID 19. Drs Bryan & Chloe will be working from Moriac Veterinary Clinic, whilst Drs Nev, Julia, Lissa and Robyn will be at North Geelong. 2. We will be returning to curb-side consulting. This means no clients will be allowed in the clinic. All communication will be done over the phone or outside. 3. The front door at both clinics will remained locked at all times. When you arrive for your appointment please call the front desk and let us know you are here. A staff member will come and speak to you and collect your pet. 4. Please do not come to the clinic if you have been overseas, have been in contact with a known COVID-19 case or have been feeling ill. If it is an emergency we will of course see your pet, but please let us know you are unwell as the appropriate PPE must be worn. 5. If you are in need of medication refills please call the clinic and we will be able to arrange to have these medications ready for you. We will ask that you pay for the medications over the phone. We will be limiting our transactions to card, with no cash being accepted. Please understand that these changes are meant to protect both clients coming into the clinic and our staff. We have lots of clients that are in a high-risk age group and we are very concerned about protecting them. Please follow the above guidelines and we will do our best to take care of your pets!

25.01.2022 A very common question we hear is Can my dog eat bones? We feel that while there are some benefits from bones in helping keep the teeth clean, the risk of tooth fracture outweighs these benefits. This is Boss, a two year old Border Collie. A quick look and the tooth does not look that bad, but upon closer inspection it was noted it had fractured at the gum line! Dental X-Rays showed all three roots still present. Leaving these roots in can lead to a tooth root abscess. All three roots were removed and the gums stitched closed. Dental chews can provide greater health benefits to teeth with none of the risk of tooth fracture

05.01.2022 Why does my dogs breath smell? A healthy dog’s mouth will have all white teeth with a pink, shiny gum line. Often owners notice this when they get a puppy, as their teeth will be glistening white. However over time, many dog’s teeth begin to stain yellow or brown with tartar accumulation and the gums can become swollen and red as gingivitis develops. This is not a natural process of ageing, but the result of bacteria and food building up on the teeth over time. If this plaque... is not removed, dental disease will progress. Left untreated, bacteria will spread down to the roots of the teeth, causing loosening of the ligaments attaching the teeth leading to painful, wobbly teeth. The bacteria can then enter the blood stream, increasing the risk of heart disease such as endocarditis. This cascade of disease can be prevented with good oral hygiene. See more
