🌟 June Promotion! 🌟

Arthritis is a cruel disease, causing awful pain to joints - joints that our pets need for their daily activities!
For many of our patients who are receiving regular arthritis injections we also couple that with an additional injection that helps greatly reduce the pain of arthritis. This helps our patients not just physically, but also emotionally.

🔵 For the month of June we are pleased to offer 50% off this injection for pain. This injection is for both dogs and cats. 🐶😺

Please contact us on (03) 9568 2211 to enquire if it is applicable for your pet. 📞

🌟 Share With Us - Do you celebrate your pet’s birthday or their special ‘gotcha’ day’? 🌟

Some families throw a full party, bake a pupcake, buy a new toy or take their pet on an extra-fun adventure. Others keep it simple with cuddles, photos or a quiet moment of gratitude.

We’d love to know: How do YOU mark the occasion?
Tell us in the comments! 🎂🐶🐱💕

🌟 Hypertension in Senior Cats 🌟

Did you know that high blood pressure (hypertension) is a silent stalker in our senior cats? Many cats show no signs at all, and sudden blindness is often the first sign that caregivers notice. 😺

🔴 Look out for these subtle signs in your cat and speak to our vet team about any concerns:
🔹Sleeping more
🔹Acting withdrawn
🔹Bumping into things
🔹Changes in the eyes, such as bleeding
🔹Signs from other diseases, such as weight loss and hyperactivity in cats with hyperthyroidism

Regular veterinary visits, including blood pressure checks, are especially important for senior cats, to catch signs of hypertension early. 💞
Has your senior kitty had a check up in the last 6 months❓

🌟 Is Your Dog Coughing? Here’s When to See a Vet 🌟

A cough here and there might not be a big deal, but persistent or unusual coughing in dogs can signal an underlying issue. Some possible causes include:

🔹 Canine (Kennel) Cough – A harsh, honking cough, often from exposure to other dogs.
🔹 Heart Disease – A soft, persistent cough, especially at night or after exercise.
🔹 Collapsed Trachea – A goose-honk sound, common in small breeds.
🔹 Lung Disease or Infections – Wet, phlegmy or wheezy coughs.
🔹 Something Stuck! – A sudden, gagging cough after chewing on a toy or stick.

🚨 See a vet if your dog’s cough is:
✅ Frequent or worsening
✅ Paired with difficulty breathing or fatigue
✅ Lasting more than a few days
✅ Producing phlegm, blood or a honking sound

Early diagnosis can help keep your pup healthy! If in doubt, please contact us and book a check-up, or visit your nearest emergency vet. 🩺🐾

🌟 Hug Your Cat Day 🌟

June 4th is the purr-fect opportunity for some snuggle time with your kitty cat. 🐈
Not all cats enjoy hugs, so you may have to settle for a nose boop or a back arch. However your cat shows affection, one thing is certain - touch is a vital form of communication. 💖

🌟 Winter Pet Safety: Essential Oils 🌟

With winter upon us, our pets are spending more time indoors and we are closing our windows and doors to retain heat.
As a result, our pets are being exposed to higher concentrations of essential oil particles in the air.
Essential oils can be particularly toxic to cats, as they lack the essential enzymes in their liver to metabolise and eliminate the chemical compounds.

If pet parents wish to burn or vaporise essential oils in their homes, it is always best to use dilute solutions in well-ventilated spaces. 🕯
