24.01.2022 The appearance of your pet’s skin and coat is often a sign of their overall health. Healthy dogs and cats on a good quality diet will have a smooth and glossy coat (excluding rough coat breeds). If your pet’s coat is looking dull, dry, oily or ‘scurfy’ (full of dead skin), it indicates there is something going on with either their diet or their health. Make an appointment with us today to discuss how we can boost your pet’s health and get their coat shine back.

24.01.2022 Summer has well and truly arrived. There are a few steps we can take to make our pets more comfortable on warm, summer nights. Remember to never put coats or jackets on your pet on hot nights and to switch their bedding to something comfortable but cooler (e.g. raised bedding that allows airflow). If your pet gets hot, you may even notice them seeking out cool tiles - you can also set up a small fan near their bedding to help them cool down.

24.01.2022 Between unwrapping gifts, swimming, eating pavlova and playing board games, it can be hard to give your pet the attention they deserve during Christmas. Make a plan beforehand to ensure they are entertained all day long. Make some frozen, stuffed Kong treats with peanut butter or salt-reduced stock as a treat. Consider organising a puppy playdate or, if they’re not a fan of noise, keep them in a cool, quiet room with food, water, toys and bedding until the guests head home.

23.01.2022 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.

21.01.2022 As the weather starts heating up, you might be wondering if you still need to use jackets and coats to keep your dog warm at night. If your dog has a short coat or low body fat, they will be more sensitive to the cold and will benefit from a winter jacket for longer. A good rule of thumb: if you see your dog shivering, or if the temperature is under 10 degrees, they will still benefit from a coat at night.

21.01.2022 Do you have a dog with hairy ear canals? You might have heard that plucking your dog’s ears can help prevent ear infections, however routinely plucking your dog’s ears results in small tears to the ear canal, likely resulting in mild pain to your dog. We recommend not routinely plucking dog’s ear hair, unless your vet specifically recommends it as part of a treatment plan.

20.01.2022 How often you should wash your dog depends on their breed, lifestyle and skin health. If your dog is a short-coated breed that lives outside, they probably only need to be washed with gentle dog shampoo twice a year. If you have a long-coated breed, or a dog that lives inside, or one that goes swimming regularly, you might want to wash more often. Dog’s don’t need to be bathed weekly, unless they have a skin condition that requires medicated shampoo.

19.01.2022 If your pet’s coat is looking a little worse for wear since winter’s end, don’t fret, skin and coat health can be maintained with just a few simple steps. Firstly, ensure your pet is on regular flea control and fed a good quality diet. Wash your pet in a gentle, pH-balanced shampoo and only as often as needed. There are numerous skin conditions that can affect pets, so visit the clinic or call us today if you notice any new or unusual changes to your pet’s skin conditions.

18.01.2022 House plants are a great way to bring life and colour to your home but not all plants are compatible with pets. If you’ve recently gotten new plants (or a new pet), check this list to make sure they aren’t toxic: - Lilies (including peace lily and lily flowers) - Oleander - Ivy - Sago palms... - Rubber tree plants - Philodendrons - Lantana See more

18.01.2022 Hi everyone, our phone lines will be limited from 12-2pm today. There will still be a line going so if you need to contact us for an emergency, please ring the clinic at 9755 4455. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding!

18.01.2022 Is your pet on flea control? Although parasites like fleas are less active in the colder months, as soon as the weather begins to warm, they return with vengeance. Good quality preventatives will stop flea infestations on your pet and in your home, but if your pet already has fleas, it’s best to decontaminate your carpet, furniture and your pet’s bedding. Call us today if you need help picking the right flea control for your pet.

11.01.2022 Did you know that feline asthma affects 1-5% of cats? Symptoms include coughing, wheezing and difficulty breathing. Over time, feline asthma can damage parts of the airways and lead to life-threatening breathing difficulties. The good news is that feline asthma can be well-managed with medications similar to asthma puffers in humans. If you notice your cat coughing, make an appointment with us today to find the cause and start their treatment.

11.01.2022 Did you know that around a third of all pet cats and dogs are overweight? The easiest way to help your pet lose weight is to switch their food to a specially formulated low energy or weight loss diet. These diets are still complete and balanced, though they contain less energy to help pets gradually lose weight. While trying to lose weight, it’s important that pets don’t get any extra food or treats. If you’re worried about your pet’s weight, make an appointment with us today.

09.01.2022 Working from home and more one-on-one time has likely meant your pet has been spoiled with attention these past few months. Young pets growing up in the COVID-era have likely never experienced large gatherings of people and may be apprehensive during Christmas festivities. Ensure you give your pet a quiet place to retreat to if things become too much and to give them plenty of support if they become anxious. Contact us if you’re worried about your pet’s anxiety.

08.01.2022 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.

06.01.2022 Do you have a pet rabbit? Also known as ‘long eared guinea pigs’ in Queensland, rabbits can be desexed just like cats and dogs. Desexing or neutering your rabbit can have many benefits, including avoiding unwanted pregnancy and greatly reducing the risk of mammary cancer in female rabbits. It also allows male and female rabbits to be housed together. Call us today if you would like your rabbit desexed.

03.01.2022 If your pet has a thick or double coat, you’ll notice them start to shed as the winter weather comes to an end. Groomers can help to remove the dead hair from your pet’s winter coat or if you are keen to do it yourself just make sure you use a brush that is gentle on the skin. Brush in the direction that the hair grows and if you encounter a mat, gently untangle it with your fingers. If your dog has several mats, take them to a groomer for assistance.
