25.01.2022 Due to the Grand final Public holiday tomorrow the clinic will be closed. We will be open as normal Saturday morning at 8.30am. For any emergencies please call Frankston Emergency Centre on 9784 7777.

23.01.2022 The kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste products from your pet’s blood via their urine. If this process isn’t working correctly, pets can become sick due to the buildup of toxic waste products in the blood. If you notice any kidney disease signs, such as increased thirst, increased urination, reduced appetite, weight loss, bad breath, vomiting or diarrhoea, give us a call today.

23.01.2022 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.

21.01.2022 Cats that roam across the neighbourhood can get into fights with other cats, be at risk of getting injured by vehicles and will often hunt birds and wildlife. By keeping your cat indoors, you can help reduce their risk of getting injured while also saving our native wildlife.

19.01.2022 Happy Global Handwashing Day! This is an important reminder that washing your hands well with soap helps to prevent the spread of disease. Some infections in people and animals can be treated by antibiotics, but to help reduce the risk of antimicrobial resistance, always follow our instructions and give your pet their full course of antibiotics. Together, we can all make a difference in reducing the risk of disease in pets and people.

18.01.2022 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.

10.01.2022 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.

09.01.2022 If dogs develop an infestation of intestinal or gut worms, this can cause gut ulceration, making them lose condition and potentially become quite sick. Both puppies and adult dogs require regular worming to prevent gut worms. Speak with us about what gut worming products are available and how often they should be used for your pet.

08.01.2022 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.

07.01.2022 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.

07.01.2022 Dogs can be scavengers and will often eat anything if given the chance! From dog poo to mulch, leftover foods and household items, such as socks and TV remotes, puppies and adult dogs have been known to eat it. Depending on what exactly your pet may have eaten, they can be at risk of gastroenteritis or even a gut obstruction. If you notice your dog vomiting, producing diarrhoea, appearing lethargic or leaving their food, it’s important to get them checked by us as soon as possible.

05.01.2022 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.

03.01.2022 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.
