With this weather turning quickly, keep your eye on the sky to make sure it's not too hot for your pups! ☀️

Quick rule of thumb: Hold your open palm on the pavement for 10 seconds - if it's too hot for you, it's too hot for them!

Walking dogs on hot pavement can quickly lead to severe burns on their paw pads 🐾 and any activity in the heat can risk heatstroke.

Please don't hesitate to call us on 3491 3135 if you're ever concerned your pup is looking a bit warm; the best treatment for heatstroke is prevention and early intervention!

Tick season is upon us! 🤮
With the change in weather, ticks are coming out to play in full force!

Whilst all ticks are bad, the most alarming one to find on your pet is the paralysis tick (pictured below). These nasty critters don't mind whether their host is a cat or a dog, they will happily gorge themselves without a second thought. Paralysis ticks can cause many symptoms ranging from lethargy, difficulty breathing, paralysis and even death.

This is why its important to stay up to date with our furry friends parasite prevention all year long. There are many options available to suit your budget and lifestyle.

Preventative Options:
- Spot on (onto their skin)
- Oral chews/tablets
- Year long injection (Dogs only)

If you are someone who forgets to give the preventatives throughout the year, then the injection may be the best option for your dog. The Bravecto Quantum injection provides protection against fleas and ticks for 12 months! 🐶

If your Doggy is also due for their vaccinations and/or heartworm injections, why not try our wellness packages! Each package includes:
- General Consult and full physical examination of your pet
- Annual Vaccinations
- Yearly Heartworm Injection
- Bravecto Quantum Injection
- 12 Months Of Intestinal Worming Tablets
Our wellness package prices are based weight, and offer a substantial discount then if they were purchased individually.

Does your dog or cat seem to be a bit stinky lately when giving them a kiss on the head?
Do they seem to be constantly shaking their head or scratching at their ears?
They might have an ear infection! 🦠

Unfortunately with the change in weather, ear infections and allergies are on the rise. When you bring your pet in for a suspected ear infection, the vets will take a swab of their ears and check underneath the microscope to see what's causing the problem. Ear infections are commonly due to a bacteria, or these little footprint shaped yeast/fungal cells in the photo called Malassezia! 🔬

A small amount of Malassezia or bacteria in the ears is considered common, however if they're in large numbers, or accompanied by redness and irritation (i.e lots of scratching or shaking head!), then an infection has likely set in.

If your furry friend seems a bit irritated with their ears, make sure to bring them in for a consult - these pesky guys may be making a cozy home for themselves in there!

What's better on a Monday afternoon than a box full of puppies?! 😍

These adorable Labrador puppies visited us this week for their first vaccination and microchip appointment. It takes a lot of energy to be this cute. They definitely didn't make it through the entire consult before naps were needed 😴

The Gnarly Gnocchi decided to have a forbidden snack one night and was brought in to see the team after his mum noticed he was having some frequent vomiting and didn't seem to be himself. He was admitted into our hospital, and the problem was quickly found with some radiographs.
Can you guess what he ate? 🔩

Lucky for Gnocchi, one surgery (and 14 days of rest!) later and he is fully recovered!

If you notice your pet not interested in their food, experiencing any vomiting, or just isn't acting like themselves, call us and bring them in for a check up 🩺
