The silly season is around the corner, and more visitors mean more noise, smells and disrupted routines. If your pet is not feeling as social as you are, here are some tips to help keep them calm with visitors.

🏠 Have a safe space for your pet to retreat to that guests can’t access (e.g. a bedroom), and prepare it with their food, water and bedding.
🎵 Play white noise or classical music to muffle some of the noise.
🌿 Utilise pheromone sprays or other vet-approved calming supplements.
🐾 Don’t force your pet to interact with guests. Let them approach visitors in their own time and supervise all interactions with children.

If your pet is still extremely anxious, reach out to our team so we can help set them up for success.

Has your pet touched or eaten a dead bird?

This does not mean they have bird flu, but close contact with infected wildlife can put pets at risk. Move your pet away from the area and prevent any further contact. 🐾

Monitor them closely and contact us if you are concerned about their health. Please seek our advice if they become unwell. Signs to watch for include unusual behaviour, reduced eating or drinking, or breathing difficulties.

When contacting us, explain when and where the exposure happened and whether your pet touched, carried or ate the bird. 📞

Taking your furry friend on a road trip? Keep them safe with these dos and don’ts.

DO:
✅ Secure your pet. Dogs should travel in a properly fitted harness and seat belt restraint. Cats should travel in a secure carrier.
✅ Keep the car at a comfortable temperature, with good airflow and access to water.
✅ Chat to your vet before a long trip if your pet gets carsick or anxious in the car.
✅ Take regular breaks – both you and your dog will appreciate the chance to go to the bathroom and stretch your legs!

DON’T:
❌ Let your pets travel loose, as they could be injured in an accident or distract the driver.
❌ Leave pets alone in parked cars, even for a short time.

Have a paw-sitively safe journey!

Travelling with your dog over the holiday season? It doesn’t have to be stressful! Here’s your pre-travel checklist to make sure your pet is ready for their holiday:

🧳 Pack their bag – include food, treats, food and water bowls, collar/harness and lead, a favourite toy or blanket, and any medication they may be taking.
💉 Make sure your dog is up to date with vaccinations, worming and parasite prevention.
📱 Check that the contact details on your dog’s microchip are current.
🩺 Look up contact details for a local vet at your holiday destination. In the event of an emergency, it helps to already have a number on hand!

Now you’re ready to hit the road paws-first!

With H5 bird flu detected in Australian wildlife, it is important to know what to do if you find an unwell or deceased bird. 🐦

Follow three steps: Avoid. Record. Report.

Avoid touching or moving the bird, and keep children and pets away. Record the date, time and location, and take a photo or video from a safe distance if possible.

Report it to the 24-hour Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888. 📞 Follow the instructions provided about collection or disposal. Do not bring sick or dead wildlife into the clinic.

Dogs with a history of pancreatitis are often advised to eat a low-fat diet to reduce the risk of flare-ups. 🐶

Most therapeutic low-fat diets contain around 10–15% fat on a dry-matter basis, though your vet will tailor this to your dog’s individual needs. 🥣

Avoiding fatty treats, table scraps, and rich foods is just as important as choosing the right main diet.

If your dog has had pancreatitis before, ask us about a suitable long-term feeding plan. 🩺

Modern veterinary anaesthesia is generally very safe, although no anaesthetic is completely risk-free. 🩺 Risk is reduced through pre-anaesthetic health checks, tailored drug protocols, and continuous monitoring throughout the procedure. Age, breed, and existing health conditions may increase the risk, which is why we often recommend pre-anaesthetic blood tests. 🩸

Worried about your pet’s upcoming procedure? Chat with us beforehand about their individual risk. 🐾
