25.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW??? That over 80% of dogs have significant Dental Disease by the age of 3 Why should you be worried about Dental Disease?... An animals mouth is the perfect incubator for bacteria Over time this bacteria will form plaque on the surface of the teeth which leads to inflammation of the gums. Eventually resulting in periodontal disease - in this condition the inflammation causes infection and destruction of the tissue (including the bone) around the tooth. Bacteria in the mouth can also spread through the blood stream to all organs in the body. The heart, kidneys and liver can be seriously affected by this bacterial spread. Poor dental hygiene can be a source of long term pain and discomfort for many pets. Most owners are unaware of this discomfort because most animals will not cry out in the presence of such pain - they do very well to tolerate it.
24.01.2022 WARNING WARMER WEATHER With the weather warming up it’s important to recognise when the ground/back of a ute is too hot for your dogs paws. If you cannot hold the back of your hand face down on the surface for 30 seconds it’s too hot. Please ensure your dog has access to shady areas, and that ute’s have adequate flooring for example carpet. *rubber mats can also get extremely warm*

23.01.2022 June Product of the month Have you got a dog that is slowing down? Getting a bit older? Or showing signs of arthritis? Then we have the perfect product for you. What is 4cyte?... 4cyte is a daily joint supplement that helps in promoting healthy joints and joint fluid for your pet. Commonly used to help reduce arthritic symptoms, this can be used as a standalone treatment for dogs with severe joint inflammation from injury or arthritis. Do you need a prescription? No, you do not need a prescription for the 4cyte as it is an over the counter medication we have on a regular basis. We do recommend speaking with one of our lovely staff members for more information regarding the product and to help tailor it to your pets needs. How is it administered? The 4cyte is administered orally and is available in two options, granule and a liquid form. Both forms are administered directly onto your pets food for consumption. How easy! Is it flavoured? Yes. 4cyte comes in a tasty cream flavour. Clinical study trials have shown that 4cyte has a 100% palatability rate which means every dog loves it! Visit us in clinic to try out 4cyte for your dog, or grab one of our 4cyte brochures for more information. Help your dog get moving on those colder mornings, support older joints and help them feel young again.

12.01.2022 Desexing Awareness Month Desexing your pet is a very important part of your responsibility as a pet owner. By doing this you can prevent your pet from developing serious health issues such as mammary tumours, testicular cancers and pyometra (infected uterus).

Advantages of desexing your pet/s include: ... - No unwanted litters or breeding. - Registration fee is discounted if desexed. - Possible changes in behaviour such as: spraying, aggression and roaming. We recommend desexing your pet/s at six months of age. For any more information or questions regarding desexing, please contact the clinic on 6766 3088.

11.01.2022 Let's talk about secondary poisoning. It is definitely a thing! Since January this year we have run over 500 clotting tests in clinic, to test for rat bait poisoning ... We have seen poisoning from both first and secondary ingestion. Secondary poisoning occurs from pets eating baited live/dead mice and rats, the ingestion of even the smallest amount of bait still has a detrimental effect on your pet. To prevent this, it is best to discard any dead mice/rats on your property or around your house. Also ensure that your pets have no access to any baited areas. If your pet has ingested bait through first or secondary ingestion, it is best to contact your Veterinary clinic ASAP for immediate medical attention. Ingestion of any kind requires medical attention and will not pass with time or ANY home remedies! If you require more information please feel free to contact the clinic on 02 6766 3088!

A Note from Skye: Today marks a very sad day for me as it is my last day working at Piper Street Vet Clinic. My journey at Piper Street Vet Clinic has been such a rewarding experience. Some may know I moved to Melbourne at the age of 19 to attend the AIS Golf institute of Australia. My dream was to become a professional golfer. Unfortunately this didn’t play out. Soon after I returned back to Tamworth not knowing what i was going to do. I then joined the team at Piper Street Veterinary Clinic as a Volunteer Veterinary Nurse with the help of Chris Collins and David Easterman. I’d found my passion. I have met many amazing people along the way and made lifelong friends. I’d like to thank Chris Collins and Rhys Duncan for giving me this opportunity you have been an inspiration. Thank you to all our wonderful Vets, Vet nurses volunteers past and present. I will miss Piper St Vets, my second Family. All the Best for the future.

The Equivac HeV vaccine is fully registered with the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority. All vaccinations of horses against Hendra virus must be recorded in the central database to ensure accurate information on vaccination status is available to veterinarians and other people in contact with sick horses. Some horses may experience localised swelling but there is NO documented detrimental effects from the vaccine.
