MYTH: "It’s okay to skip flea and tick preventatives during the winter."

FALSE! 💥: Fleas prefer warmer conditions but they can be active year-round so that’s why using prevention throughout the year is essential. They are also quite happy to live in temperatures over 8 degrees, so freezing them out is also impossible in Australia. As soon as there are a few warmer days (or the heater is turned on) these eggs hatch. This leads to an emergence of fleas and lots of itchy pets.

🔹An adult female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day.
🔹Once you get a flea outbreak, it can take up to 3 months to stop the cycle!

Is your pet up to date with their parasite preventatives❓ Call our friendly nurses to discuss the best options for your pet. 📞

🌟 Breed Spotlight: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel 🌟

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is affectionate, and intelligent with endearing devotion. These happy little dogs are excellent with children, and their desire to interact with their guardians makes them pleasurable household companions.
They love to cuddle and have been described as the perfect lap dog. 🐾

The face of the Cavalier is distinctive for its sweet, gentle expression that owes much to its large, round, dark brown eyes, set well apart. The skull is slightly rounded and the muzzle full, but mildly tapered.
The coat is long, silky and soft and comes in four colour combinations: red and white with a partial red mask and ears and red patches on a white body; tricolour (black and white with tan points); ruby (solid red); and black and tan.
Regular grooming is key to keeping the Cavalier's coat lustrous.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels live on average 9-14 years. 💞

🌟 Client Testimonial 🌟

"We have been going to Melton Family Vets for the last two years and have always found the team to be caring, professional, and supportive.
Recently, our dog Bella needed care for multiple health concerns, including an ear infection and investigations for a possible leg injury. Dr. Sammi was exceptional. She was calm, patient, and highly knowledgeable, and she took the time to explain Bella’s condition and the available options in a way that was easy to understand. We never felt rushed, and her expertise and reassuring manner gave us confidence during a stressful time.
We are very grateful to Dr. Sammi and the entire Melton Family Vets team for the care they have provided to Bella and would highly recommend them to other pet owners."

🌟 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?

🌟 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. 🩺🐾
