25.01.2022 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.

24.01.2022 I don't think we need to add in how cute this baby pygmy goat is... comment below if you think the same!

23.01.2022 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.

20.01.2022 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.

19.01.2022 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.

14.01.2022 We love our job! Beautiful Border Collie puppies visiting our Warragul clinic for their first puppy vaccinations and microchipping!

11.01.2022 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.

11.01.2022 We are a busy mixed practice in beautiful Gippsland. Looking for a locus from 21st December to end of January. Happy for mixed animal vet or smallies only. Contact Practice Manager [email protected]

08.01.2022 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.

07.01.2022 We have a new computer system! When visiting the clinic, please be mindful that you may be here a little longer than usual whilst we're learning the ropes! Thank you for your patience!

06.01.2022 If you’re heading away on holidays and leaving your pets in the care of a pet sitter, it can be a good idea to notify us about: when you’ll be away, your best contact details and if you have any instructions in case your pet requires any emergency or healthcare treatment. Speak with our friendly team before you head away and we’ll place a note on your pet’s file so we can be best placed to help your pet should anything happen whilst you’re away.

06.01.2022 Carrie, one of our lovely reception staff and her cat 'Mali' watching a recent online Mental Health Zoom Seminar presented by Clinical Psychologist, Naomi Bickley. The topic was about how to support grieving clients whilst managing your own emotions. It's never easy dealing with loss and grief, we're here for our clients through the good and the bad and strive to support our own staff to the best of our ability too. We're continuosly looking at ways we can improve and grow as a community.

05.01.2022 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.
