Swipe to see the difference! ➡️ (tartar ahead 😬)
Saffy, our 9-year-old Moodle, came in this week for a dental with Dr Sally Tilley. 🦷
Her teeth had a fair bit of tartar and gum disease. Dental X-rays showed a tooth with a resorptive lesion that needed to come out, plus a few others affected by gum disease. After a full scale and polish, she’s got a much healthier mouth. ✨
Saffy can be a nervous girl, so we took it nice and gently. She had pain relief, nerve blocks and a cosy heat mat for recovery, and she woke up well. She even had a wet-food dinner before heading home. 🐾
Pink gums straight after a dental are normal. They settle down in the days that follow.
She’ll pop back for a mouth check in a week or so.
Signs your dog might need a dental check: 🦷 Bad breath 🦷 Yellow or brown build-up on the teeth 🦷 Red or bleeding gums 🦷 Dropping food or chewing on one side 🦷 Pawing at the mouth
Dental disease is very common in small dogs and often hides below the gumline. Not sure how your pet’s teeth are looking? Book a check-up and we’ll take a look. 💙

Rumi’s snooze after her big day 💤

Rumi came in for her desexing (spey) this week, and Dr Sally looked after her through surgery. Now she’s sleeping it off in a nest of blankets 🩵

A spey is routine but major surgery, and it’s one of the best things you can do for your girl’s long-term health. It prevents unwanted litters, removes the risk of uterine infections, and significantly lowers the chance of mammary tumours later in life.

🏡 Caring for your girl at home: keep her rested and on short lead walks only for the first week or two, stop her licking the wound (a cone or recovery suit helps), and check her stitches daily. If you notice redness, swelling or discharge, give us a call.

Meet Frankie the cavoodle and Dr Soraya, rocking the latest in laser safety fashion 😎✨

Frankie recently had TPLO surgery on her left back leg with visiting specialist surgeon Dr Eugene Buffa. She’s now back with us for laser therapy sessions, which help reduce inflammation and discomfort and support her recovery alongside rest, controlled walks and her rehab plan. The goggles are essential: everyone in the room wears eye protection during treatment. Frankie looks fab in hers 🥽

Recovery takes a team, and Frankie’s sister Millie has been right by her side. Millie came down with a tummy upset while Frankie was going through surgery, and it may well have been stress-related. Dogs pick up on more than we realise, and a sibling’s big week can affect them too. 🤍 Millie has been extra snuggly, and we’re pleased to report the couch cuddles are in full swing.

💡 Did you know? Changes in routine, or a pet in the house being unwell or away, can sometimes cause tummy troubles in their companions. If your pet stops eating, or has vomiting or diarrhoea (especially with blood), give us a call.
Wishing Frankie a smooth recovery! 🐾

Sweet 16 for Tinkerbell! 🎂🐾

Tinkerbell came in for a blood pressure check with Dr Sally a few days before her big day, and she couldn’t have been sweeter about it. Calm, relaxed and looking fabulous for 16.

On Sunday she turned 16, and her family celebrated with a party, a special cake and presents. Tinkerbell has been part of the St Ives community for a long time, and we love seeing how adored she is.

Happy birthday, gorgeous girl! 💛

Regular check-ups help our senior pets enjoy their golden years. If your cat or dog is 7 or older, book a senior check-up with us on 02 9983 9494.

This is Jasper, and he’s feeling MUCH better after his recent dental with us! 🦷✨

Turns out those tiny teeth were hiding some problems — Jasper needed two extractions, but he bounced back beautifully and was getting all the love from our nursing team during his recovery.

A gentle reminder: dental disease is one of the most common (and most overlooked) health issues in our pets. If it’s been a while since your furry friend’s teeth were checked, give us a call! 🐶
