25.01.2022 Growth charting the kids! Happy Friday!

23.01.2022 But they are still great company! Happy Friday!

21.01.2022 Concerned about ticks? Ticks are nasty little creatures that burrow their heads into the pet's skin for a blood meal. They can transmit diseases and toxins. The paralysis tick can be deadly and urgent veterinary care is needed if found on a dog or cat. Prevention consists of veterinary-approved tick prevention and regular skin checks, particularly after a walk. ... For advice on tick prevention products please contact the clinic to have a chat to one of our friendly staff.

21.01.2022 Ticks range in size from approximately 1mm when not fed up to 1cm when engorged. This can make it especially difficult if not impossible to find in your pets fur, even in short coats. The female tick drinks blood so that it can lay its eggs and can expand to 200 times its original size. They not only cause local irritation, but certain ticks can cause deadly paralysis. If you're not sure what ticks are in your area or what prevention options are available please contact the clinic for more information.

21.01.2022 Watch those Christmas treats. Do not give in to those puppy dog eyes this Christmas! Rich foods, fatty foods (especially the Christmas Ham), chocolate and other sudden changes in diet can cause severe illness in our pets. Stick to their normal dietary routine and offer more cuddles instead! If you cannot resist move your pet to another room during mealtimes and keep them occupied with a pet friendly food puzzle.

20.01.2022 Kennel cough season has officially started! Make sure your pet is protected against this highly contagious respiratory disease. If you are unsure if your dog is up to date, call our friendly team.

20.01.2022 Make sure your best friend is protected.

19.01.2022 What are you getting your pet this Christmas? Here are some fun and safe gift ideas - new plush toy, ball thrower, treat jar, toy basket, puzzle toy, new bedding, new leash. Whatever you get just remember your pet will just love spending more time with you.

19.01.2022 To your inquisitive pet, Christmas tree ornaments are just new toys. If your pet can access these they can injure their mouth, throat or digestive system. Always be cautious about keeping ornaments out of your pet's reach.

18.01.2022 We love this festive time of year with all the lovely decorations. However we need to be careful that our pets are safe. When decorating your tree this Christmas, please make sure they are secure and out of reach from your pets when unsupervised. Tinsel and dangling decorations are enticing and can cause serious gastrointestinal blockage if ingested.

17.01.2022 UPDATE OWNER HAS BEEN FOUND AND DOG HAS GONE HOME We have had this entire male young Kelpie brought in lost this morning. Not microchipped . Please let us know if he belongs to you as unfortunately we cannot hold him over the weekend.

16.01.2022 Another hot one today. Please make sure your pets have plenty of shade and water.

13.01.2022 Fleas! Did you know that your pet picks up fleas from the environment? Only rarely do fleas jump from one pet to another. Immature fleas wait in the carpet, dirt and doormats for a pet to walk by and jump onto them where they stay and feed on them. ... Fleas are a top cause for allergies and itchiness in pets, so it is important to keep pets up to date with all year-round flea protection.

13.01.2022 5 steps to preventing a flea infestation in the home: 1. Treat all pets in the household with a veterinary-recommended flea product 2. All-year-round treatment 3. Vacuum regularly to remove immature flea stages from the environment... 4. Wash pet bedding in water hotter than 60C 5. Keep wildlife out of the home environment

13.01.2022 Is your pet up to date with its vaccinations? Parvovirus, a deadly virus that affects dogs, increases in prevalence around now and can be picked up from local parks. Help protect your pets by making sure their vaccinations are up to date before heading outdoors. Simply call or email our friendly team to check.

12.01.2022 Merry Christmas! We have made this super fun display for Christmas pet photos so come on down and enjoy

12.01.2022 Guessing they’ll never look there Happy Friday

10.01.2022 Is your cat up to date with its vaccinations? Vaccines help protect against contagious, potentially fatal diseases. Even indoor cats need routine vaccinations in case they accidentally get out, visit boarding facilities, are introduced to other animals, or get ill and their immune system decreases. If you are not sure if your cat is up to date please contact the clinic.

09.01.2022 But aren’t they all? Happy Friday!

09.01.2022 Enjoy your Sunday! Remember to keep chocolates and flowers away from your pets.

08.01.2022 Did you know that cats can get the flu as well? It is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can be prevented with regular vaccination. Symptoms include sneezing, coughing, runny eyes, nasal discharge, loss of appetite and tongue ulcers. Call our friendly team today and check if your cat is up to date with its vaccinations.

06.01.2022 We are so grateful to our supportive clients at this very busy time. So generous and understanding even when their little ones aren’t feeling their best!

04.01.2022 There’s just so much to do at this time of year! Happy Friday!

02.01.2022 Whilst we don't expect to see many ticks within Westbrook town area itself, with tick areas being as close as Drayton and Hodgsonvale and expanding each year we recommend tick prevention for your pets. Watch out for ticks in long grass, woodlands and bush areas. These are perfect environments for ticks to lurk, waiting for their next meal to come walking by. Keep the parasite control on schedule and always check your pet's coat, between their toes, and in the ears after each walk.

02.01.2022 And we thought they never knew the difference. Happy Friday

01.01.2022 FOUND: 2 x Male dogs around Westbrook. No microchips or ID tags. Please contact the clinic if these are your dogs or you know who owns them. Thank you 46 306633

01.01.2022 Christmas is a Merry time but be sure you are taking all the necessary measures to keep your pet safe this holiday season. Before you head off on holidays be sure to check your pet is fully up to date with their vaccinations and their parasite prevention is current. Especially if you are travelling with your pet to high risk areas for ticks and heartworm such as the coast. If you are not sure please call our friendly staff and we can check your pets records and advise what may be best.
