24.01.2022 While you might not be surprised to find fleas on your dog, you may be surprised to learn that adult fleas (the ones you see) make up only about 5% of the total population. The remaining 95% (eggs, larvae and pupae) are found in carpets and bedding - in fact anywhere in your house! Each female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day so it doesn’t take long for an infestation to take hold. NexGard and NexGard SPECTRA kill adult fleas fast, before they can start to lay eggs, helping protect your dog and its environment. Simply purchase a 6 month or 3 month pack of Nextgard Spectra and receive the 1 month free!! While stocks last!

17.01.2022 Benefits of bathing We all know to bath our pets when they are smelly or dirty, but what are the other benefits of bathing your pet? Many animals suffer from allergies, just like humans do. This can occur when we come in contact with a particular plant or substance, but also in the form or airborne allergens. Allergens in the environment such as pollen, mould, grass, seeds and even insects are hard to eliminate but there are steps we can take to reduce exposure to our pets.... Bathing with a soap free product like Aloveen Shampoo or Natural Shampoo will help to remove allergens from your pet’s coat, without striping away natural oils which are essential for skin barrier function. Pets that suffer from dry, itchy skin will also benefit from Aloveen Shampoo and Conditioner, which contains soothing Aloe Vera and Oatmeal. Aloveen Conditioner can be applied to a damp coat after bathing for added moisture and soothing effect. Designed as a leave on conditioner it is perfect to use as a grooming aid between baths. Aloveen Shampoo and Natural Shampoo are pH neutral and soap-free with a pleasant fragrance.

17.01.2022 Simply purchase a 6 month pack of Nextgard Spectra and receive the 7th month free!! While stocks last! Make parasite protection easy and protect against fleas, ticks, mites, heartworm and intestinal worms - with just one tasty, monthly NexGard SPECTRA chew! https://nexgard.com.au/

16.01.2022 Many of us will know that having your pet micro-chipped gives you the best chance of being reunited with your beloved pet should they ever get lost. But it is just as important to keep your details up to date! If you move house, change phone number or have sadly lost your pet, it is vital that you contact the microchip registry to update your details. For any enquiries please call our reception team on 5561 6911.

15.01.2022 Have you brought your pet in for a free dental check? We are happy to report that gorgeous Gus has excellent teeth and is going home with a pack of Oravet chews to maintain his oral hygiene.

14.01.2022 Here is the super smart Pikachu, learning how to play UNO. Birds have a natural instinct to search for food, making discoveries, making choices and staying active. Enrichment is so important for birds to maintain their health and well being. We would love to see some bird pics, please share in the comments below

13.01.2022 Deb and Chloe were super excited when these beautiful golden retriever pups came in for their first vaccination and microchip. Happy Friday! https://www.thevetgroup.com.au/proactive-/dog-vaccinations/

13.01.2022 GAMES YOU CAN PLAY WITH YOUR OLDER DOG FOR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL STIMULATION Food Puzzle toys: Food puzzle toys are made to hide a portion of your dog’s food. Your dog has to work to get the food out, which motivates your dog to solve a problem. Food toys can help keep your dog moving around plus they keep your dog’s brain engaged too!... Adapted Agility: Low impact and low-level obstacles can help keep your older dog mentally stimulated. They also help him maintain balance, strength and gently using his full range of joint motion. A visit to your local hardware will give you all you need to set up a basic obstacle course! 30mm diameter plastic pipes are great for stepping over. You can make the trot poles a little more difficult by raising the ends of every second pole. Weave poles are another good exercise that help to gently encourage them to bend through their joints and body. Tunnels are loads of fun and can usually be found at kids’ play stores. Just make sure to secure each end with a tent peg. Once your dog is familiar with the exercises, you can then put them all together! Don’t forget, lots of praise and cuddles when he gives them a go!

06.01.2022 Complexity of Skin Disease, Diagnosis and Treatment. As vets and vet nurses, we wish we had one simple solution for your pet’s skin problems, but multiple diagnostic tests and elimination trials may be needed to reach the diagnosis. ‘What causes skin disease in dogs?’... There are a number of causes for skin disease in dogs including: Parasites such as fleas or mites Allergies to environmental factors such as pollen, plants, mould, insects and grass. Allergies due to food, preservatives or ingredients in human or animal products Bacteria or yeast overgrowth, either as a primary problem, or secondary to an allergy Underlying medical or genetic conditions that can contribute to poor skin health. With a list of factors that complex, you can start to see why it often takes more than one test or elimination trial before we find the cause. To make an appointment phone 5561 6911.

06.01.2022 *EDIT We have a winner! Congratulations to Tayla England, such a fantastic photo! Thank you to everyone else who took the time to enter.
