22.01.2022 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.

22.01.2022 Look out for these signs that your pet might be suffering from itchy skin. The sooner we settle an itch, the less likely your pet is to cause self-trauma and secondary skin infections. So if you notice your pet is itching, licking, biting, or rubbing, you should arrange a check up with us as soon as you can. PLUS!

21.01.2022 Just like cats and dogs, rabbits also need to have regular vaccinations to protect them from the potentially-fatal rabbit calicivirus disease. Calicivirus causes internal bleeding but luckily vaccinating is a simple way to keep your bunny protected. After their initial vaccinations rabbits need a booster vaccination every 6 months to keep them protected.

18.01.2022 Feeding a balanced, nutritionally appropriate puppy food to dogs under 18 months of age is critically important for healthy growth. Ask us today if you need help picking a puppy food for your dog.

17.01.2022 Cats can come into season multiple times a year and breed easily, so it’s important to have your cat desexed to prevent unwanted kittens and other potential issues. Cat shelters often have large numbers of kittens needing to be rehomed, so the best advice is whether your cat is male or female, do the right thing by your cat and get them desexed now! Contact our team for more information about desexing your pet.

17.01.2022 Spring has sprung and as some of you are aware it's breeding season for most wildlife. Check out this chart from Wildlife Victoria in regards to baby birds if you are unsure if it is in trouble or not.

17.01.2022 If you notice your dog shaking their head, scratching their ears or giving off a bad odour from their ears, they might be suffering from an ear condition. Infections, allergies, parasites and foreign bodies can all cause ear irritation in pets, so it’s important to have your pet examined to determine what treatment may be needed. Give us a call today to keep your pet comfortable and their ears healthy.

17.01.2022 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.

16.01.2022 We love a good kitten cuddle puddle. These foster kittens were in for their first vaccinations recently after coming into care with the wonderful @manekinekocatrescue

16.01.2022 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.. 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.

16.01.2022 Kidney disease refers to any problem with the health or function of the kidneys. The role of the kidneys is to: -Filter out waste from the blood to produce urine -Maintain the balance of fluids and electrolytes within the body -Producing hormones and enzymes that help regulate various metabolic functions throughout the body Kidney disease can be caused by infections, traumatic injuries, exposure to toxins, cancer, dehydration and heatstroke, and age-related issues.

16.01.2022 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.

15.01.2022 Bladder stones can occur in cats and dogs. If they occur in male cats, there is the risk that the stones can cause an obstruction to the outflow of urine. If the cat is obstructed and can’t urinate, this can become painful for them. If you notice your cat having difficulty urinating, book them in for a checkup as quickly as possible. A blocked bladder is at risk of rupturing, which is painful and life threatening.

14.01.2022 It can be tempting to feed your furry friend food leftovers but dogs can actually develop pancreatitis if they eat a rich or fatty meal, such as fat gristle, bone marrow or other fatty foods. Pancreatitis involves inflammation of the pancreas, which is a gland in the abdomen involved in the digestion of food. Symptoms of pancreatitis can include vomiting, loss of appetite and a painful abdomen. It can also be fatal in its severe forms if left untreated. If your pet is showing any of these signs, have them checked by one of our friendly vets as soon as possible.

14.01.2022 Itchy Scratchy season - or ‘spring’ as it is more commonly known - can really affect your pet's quality of life. Parasites, grasses, pollen, dust mites, and moulds can all cause your pet to become itchy. If you are worried about your pet you should call us for advice. PLUS!

13.01.2022 Sweet Isabel was the perfect patient whilst seeing Dr Yvonne for her red, irritated eyes. She was diagnosed with conjunctivitis which should clear up uneventfully with eye drops!

11.01.2022 Glow up Gorgeous Bear the Malamute was 9 weeks old and 9kg when he first saw us for his puppy vaccination and today he is 14 weeks old and 16kg!

11.01.2022 As the weather warms up, it’s a critical reminder to never leave your pet inside your car pets 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 furry friend’s life in a hot car!

10.01.2022 To all our wonderful clients, We want to thank you for your patience and understanding over the past few months and officially welcome you all back into the clinic! For our current covid protocols keep an eye on your appointment reminders.

07.01.2022 Has your older cat stopped jumping up on the bed or table recently, or are they any quieter than usual? Arthritis is a silent but common disease in cats. It can be hard for owners to detect arthritis too, as cats are notorious for hiding pain and discomfort. Fortunately, arthritis can be identified during a vet exam and the pain can be managed. If your cat has slowed down recently, book them in for a check-up to rule out arthritis.

06.01.2022 Have you noticed your pet weeing a wee bit more? A common reason for this is cystitis, which refers to an inflammation or infection of the bladder. Cystitis can be an irritating and painful condition, causing pets to urinate more often with blood even sometimes noticed in their urine. It’s crucial that you bring your pet in for a vet examination if you notice any of these symptoms as cystitis can lead to their bladders becoming critically blocked. If your worried about wee please call us today.

05.01.2022 If dogs develop an infestation of intestinal 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 a worm infestation. Speak with us about what products are available and how often they should be used for your pet.

04.01.2022 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, book them in for a health check.

04.01.2022 Older cats and dogs can make the best pets but they also require a little additional care to keep them comfy, mobile and in good health throughout their twilight years. Six monthly check-ups are a great way for us to assess your pet’s condition and quality of life. There, we can discuss any tests, preventative treatments or ongoing management that might be needed to ensure your furry family member can stay happy and healthy. Book your pet in for a senior check-up with one of our friendly vets today.

03.01.2022 It’s important to always ensure your pets have access to fresh drinking water. During warmer weather, pets can quickly become dehydrated, which can lead to heat stress and can be fatal. It is a good idea to provide multiple water bowls in case one gets knocked over, and place them in a shady or protected spot so the water stays cool on a hot day.

03.01.2022 The adorable Bullet and Bonnie

01.01.2022 Thank you to the wonderful group of strangers that come together to save this little family after their mother was unfortunately hit by a car. During these strange times it's important that while we are keeping a safe distance we still come together to help each other and animals in need. These little guys are in the care of a wonderful wildlife carer now.

01.01.2022 We had the pleasure of recently meeting handsome Boffa whilst in for his nail clip.

01.01.2022 There is a reason we all love watching puppies and kittens play. Play is a universal sign in most animal species that an animal is happy and secure. Rabbits like to do ‘binkies’, lambs and calves chase each other, cockatoos often swing upside down on power lines, tigers will ‘hunt’ leaves and kangaroo joeys play by hopping around their mum. We love happy pets, so tell us, how does your pet like to play?
