❤️ ANZAC DAY ❤️

On the 25th of April we will be closing as we commemorate those who served our country.

From the horses, dogs, and other animals who stood beside our soldiers, to the men and women who gave so much, we reflect with gratitude and respect.

We will resume normal hours the following Monday.

🐾🐣 Pre-Holiday Pet Prep Reminder! 💐🐾

Before the long weekend kicks off, it’s important to make sure your furry friends are all set for it too!

Things to tick off your list are…

🐶 Stocked up on prescription food
Pop in and make sure you’ve got enough to last the long weekend. If your pet requires a special order diet, please place your order well in advance to avoid missing out.

💊 Medications refilled and ready
To ensure everything is prepared in time, we recommend calling a few days ahead to organise any repeat medications for collection.

🍫 Keep chocolate & hot cross buns out of reach
While these treats are delicious for us, they can be very dangerous for our pets. Please keep all Easter goodies safely stored away. If your pet does ingest something they shouldn’t, contact your nearest emergency veterinary centre as soon as possible.

A little preparation goes a long way in keeping your pets happy and healthy over the holidays!

But most of all we wish you and your pets a safe, relaxing, and fun-filled long weekend 🌷🌸

🌾 Grass Seed Alert for Pets! 🐾

The warmer weather is here, we are seeing grass seeds everywhere!
These little seeds can cause serious problems for our pets.
They burrow into skin, ears and noses creating pain, infection and abscesses.
When left untreated surgical intervention is sometimes needed.

🚨 Watch for signs like limping, excessive licking, redness, raised lumps, head shaking, sneezing, or swelling.
✅ Check your pet daily, especially after walks, and keep fur trimmed around paws and ears.

If you’re worried your pet may have a grass seed, don’t wait!
Contact as on 03-5952-2936
Early treatment makes all the difference 💚
