🦷 Could your pet’s bad breath be more than just “dog breath”?

Bad breath, drooling, red gums, chewing differently, or changes in eating habits can sometimes be early signs of dental disease in dogs and cats.

The tricky part? Many pets continue eating and acting fairly normally even when their mouth is uncomfortable, which means dental disease can quietly progress over time.

At your pet’s health checks, our team often looks at dental health because healthy teeth and gums play an important role in overall wellbeing.

We’ve put together a helpful guide on signs to watch for, the risks of untreated dental disease, and when further treatment may be worth considering.

💬 Has your pet ever surprised you by hiding pain or discomfort? Pets can be incredibly good at it 🐾

🐶 Thinking about desexing your dog but not sure when the right time is?

One of the most common questions we hear from pet parents is:

“When should I desex my dog?”

The answer is not always one size fits all.

Your dog’s breed, size, lifestyle, and overall health can all play a role in deciding the right timing. Many pet owners also want to better understand the benefits, costs, and what to expect before making a decision.

Desexing may help reduce the risk of certain health conditions, prevent unwanted litters, and in some cases influence hormone-related behaviours.

But every pet is different, and it is important to make the decision that is right for your dog.

We have put together a helpful guide covering:
🐾 Timing by age and breed
🐾 Costs and what is included
🐾 Health and behavioural considerations
🐾 Common questions pet owners ask

𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗳𝗳𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗸𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝘂𝗽 🐾

This gorgeous 12 week old Persian x visited our Algester vet team for her second kitten vaccination and health check and safe to say she handled it like a pro 😻
Nurse Bee came prepared with a little treat distraction, and Fluffy was so focused on the snacks she barely noticed her vaccination had even happened.

Kitten vaccinations are an important part of helping young cats stay protected while also building positive, gentle experiences at the vet from an early age.
We think little Fluffy was very brave indeed 💕

🚨 𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚: Excessive Cuteness Ahead 💖🐶

Beautiful Miss Sookie visited us for her 14-week puppy vaccination and first heartworm injection — and let’s just say Dr. Kristine may have fallen a little bit in love 😍

Growing puppies go through so many important milestones in their first few months, and visits like these help keep them protected while making vet visits feel safe, gentle, and full of treats, cuddles, and positive experiences 🩺✨

We think Sookie handled her big girl appointment absolutely perfectly 💕

If your dog won’t stop scratching, it’s worth paying attention 🐾

An occasional scratch is normal
but ongoing itching usually isn’t

Even a single flea bite can trigger intense irritation, especially in dogs with sensitivities. Allergies and skin infections can build on top of that, which is why it sometimes escalates quickly.

What starts as a small irritation can turn into sore skin, hair loss, or ongoing discomfort if it’s left too long.

👉 Take a look at the common causes and what to watch for:

𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻… 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗱𝗼?

This tends to happen at the worst time

late at night, on a weekend, or just as the last dose is given

For some medications, missing doses can affect how well they work

and for others, suddenly stopping can cause problems

The safest approach is to plan a little ahead

but we know that doesn’t always happen

If your pet is on ongoing medication, we can help organise repeat scripts and make the process easier so you’re not caught out

👉 Learn how to order and request repeats here:

Say Hello to Sammie the Rottweiler 🐾💛 She visited Algester Vet for a procedure, and from the moment she arrived to when she headed home, she was closely monitored and cared for every step of the way.

Our new vet nurse Ivy stayed right by Sammie’s side through surgery and recovery, making sure she was comfortable, safe, and very well cuddled 🤍

If you’re planning a spey or have questions about what it involves, we’re always here to talk you through it.
Next time you’re at Algester Vet, be sure to say hello to Ivy 🐶✨

They won’t cry. They won’t complain. They’ll just become a little quieter 🐾

Cats are very good at hiding discomfort, which means heat stress can be easy to miss.

Sometimes it’s subtle
resting more than usual
moving away from warm areas
eating a little less

Small changes can be the only signs you’ll see.

Not every warm day leads to a problem, but knowing what to look for makes a real difference.
