Probiotics may support gut health, particularly after antibiotic use, during stressful periods, or for pets with sensitive tummies. 🦠 Not every pet needs one, though, and quality varies widely between products.

Look for a veterinary-specific probiotic with documented strains and an adequate viable colony count, rather than a human product. 🐾 If your pet has ongoing digestive issues, a probiotic isn’t a substitute for investigating the underlying cause.

Ask us for more information. 🩺

With our construction work kicking off early tomorrow morning, our side car-park will be unavailable for the next 6 months

Parking will be available in front of our building and in front of the driveway as well as across the street.

Supermarket ‘pet meat’ is often labelled ‘not fit for human consumption’ and isn’t produced to the same food-safety standards as meat sold for people. 🥩 It can carry a higher risk of bacterial contamination and, in some cases, contain sulphite preservatives that can cause serious thiamine deficiency in cats and dogs. ⚠️

If feeding raw meat, choose human-grade options, and store and handle them carefully.

Ask us about safe ways to include meat in your pet’s diet. 🐾

📣 There are some exciting things happening at Alma Street Veterinary Hospital!! 📣

With high demand for our services and increased staff, our hospital is getting a little cramped and as result we are expanding! This will include some exciting new equipment and services 🥳

While we’re very excited about what’s to come, unfortunately, some disruptions and noise will be expected. It also means that our usual parking spaces in the driveway will be unavailable for a few months.

With construction work starting on Tuesday the 13th of October, some parking is still available at the front of the building during this time with extra space across the road, but if you have issues please give us a call. We completely understand that this may be an inconvenience, particularly when you’re visiting us with a sick, nervous, or very excited pet, and we’re genuinely sorry for the disruption.

We really appreciate your patience, understanding and kindness while the work is in progress . It won’t last forever, and we can’t wait to show you what we’re creating!

Thank you, as always, for your continued support of our clinic and for trusting us with your beloved pets. 🐶🐱🐦🐾

A good-quality, complete and balanced dry food can meet all of your dog’s nutritional needs on its own. 🐶

Kibble is convenient and cost-effective. Some specially formulated dental kibbles can help reduce plaque and tartar, but standard dry food shouldn’t be relied on to clean your dog’s teeth. 🦷 Wet food isn’t essential, though it can help boost hydration or tempt fussy eaters. The most important thing is choosing a diet labelled ‘complete and balanced’ for your dog’s life stage. 🥣

Unsure if your dog’s food ticks the box? Ask us at their next visit.

Chronic kidney disease is common in older cats, and diet plays a major role in management.

🐱 Prescription renal diets are lower in phosphorus and contain carefully controlled levels of high-quality protein, which can help slow disease progression and ease symptoms. They’re formulated differently from standard ‘senior’ foods, so it’s important to use a vet-recommended option. 🥣

If your cat has been diagnosed with kidney disease, ask us which renal diet best suits their needs. 🩺

With H5 bird flu detected in wildlife across several Australian states, you may be wondering whether your pets are at risk. 🐦

Bird flu mainly affects birds. Although the risk to cats and dogs remains low, close contact with infected wildlife, including eating an infected bird, may result in infection.

Keep cats indoors or in secure enclosures, and dogs on a lead around beaches, wetlands and other wildlife areas. Prevent pets from hunting, scavenging or approaching sick or dead wildlife. 🐾

Concerned about possible exposure? Contact our team for advice.

As the weather starts to warm up, our knowledgeable vets have some hot tips on common skin allergy presentations in cats.

Cats with allergies tend to show relatively distinctive symptoms, which can include:

🔎 Rashes of tiny red, itchy scabs, known as miliary dermatitis
🔎 Overgrooming, leading to signs of hair thinning, particularly around the belly, rump and hind legs
🔎 Intense itchiness around the head, neck and face
🔎 Slightly raised, red-orange skin patches or ulcers on the upper lip, known as eosinophilic granulomas

Common allergy triggers in cats include certain proteins (food allergies), fleas (flea allergy dermatitis), and airborne particles (atopy). If you suspect an allergy in your pet, reach out to our vets for further advice.

Have you heard of compounded medications?

Offered by certain pharmacies, compounded medications allow some drugs to be made up into a more bespoke formulation compared to “off-the-shelf” options containing the same active ingredient.

A medication may be compounded:

💊 To contain the active ingredient at a more convenient dose for a particular patient
💊 Into a formulation that is easier to administer, such as a palatable liquid, or for certain drugs, a transdermal cream that can be absorbed through the skin

Compounded medications are usually more expensive and may not have the same proven shelf life or absorption as established “off-the-shelf” options, but can be useful for pets who are otherwise challenging to medicate.

For more information on medical treatments for your pet, consult our medically-minded vets. 🐾
