🎃 Day 6 of 6 in our spooky Halloween series!

Costumes, treats and spooky decorations can make Halloween lots of fun, but our pets need a little extra care to enjoy it safely! 🧡

If your pet is dressing up, make sure their costume fits comfortably, doesn’t restrict their movement or breathing and has no loose bits they could chew or swallow. And remember, not every pet enjoys dressing up, so it’s always okay to skip the costume.

Keep things relaxed, follow your pet’s lead and give them plenty of cuddles and reassurance.

Have a safe and happy Halloween from all of us at Southern Cross Vet! 🐾

Need advice about your pet’s health or wellbeing? Call us on 1300 362 726. We’re always happy to help.

What’s your pet’s Halloween name? 🎃🐾

We’ve got a little Halloween name game for you! 👻

Find the first letter of your pet’s name on the first chart, then match it with their birth month on the second. Put the two words together and voilà… your furry friend has a spooky new Halloween name!

Tell us what you got in the comments below. We want to know what all our little pumpkins, spooky goblins and cheeky tricksters are called! 🧡

And don't forget to tag a fellow pet parent so they can find out their pet's Halloween name too!

🍫 Day 5 of 6 in our spooky Halloween series!

Halloween treats are for the humans, please! 👻

Chocolate can be toxic to dogs and cats, so keep those sweet treats safely out of curious paws' reach. Lollies, wrappers and other party snacks can cause trouble, too.

If your pet gets into something they shouldn't, don't wait for symptoms to appear. Contact your veterinarian promptly for advice, and never try to make them vomit unless instructed to do so.

Let's keep Halloween fun, festive and safe for all our furry family members. 🧡

Ziggy understood the Halloween assignment! 🎃🧡 Is your pet dressed up for Halloween too ?

We met this handsome little fellow today for his vet check-up, and we have to say, we're absolutely in love with his look! That bright orange hairdo, the festive bandana and that happy little face. Ziggy is definitely ready for Halloween!

Now we want to see your furry friends! Are they dressing up for Halloween, sporting a new hairdo or rocking their own spooky style? Share their Halloween looks in the comments below. We'd love to see them! 🐾

And if your pet needs a check-up, we’re here for you today. Give us a call on 1300 DOC SAM (1300 362 726) to book an appointment. Our clinics are open for Halloween until late at night.

We know our pets can have the occasional upset tummy, but vomiting isn't always something to simply wait out.

Repeated vomiting, or vomiting alongside tiredness, pain, blood or difficulty keeping water down, needs prompt veterinary attention. Puppies, kittens and pets who seem unwell deserve particular care.

If something doesn't feel right with your fur-riend, trust your instincts and reach out for advice. We're here to help. 🧡

Call us on 1300 362 726 to arrange an appointment. If your pet is very unwell, seek urgent veterinary care.

Meet Junior 🧡

This sweet Frenchie just had his BOAS assessment with Dr Sam and is heading in for surgery to help him breathe a little easier.

We see how hard breathing can be for our flat faced friends, even on a short walk.

We are all rooting for you, Junior. You have got this little man.

Worried about your Frenchie? We offer free breathing assessments. Call us on 1300 DOC SAM (1300 362 726) to book.

🦷 Day 3 of 6 in our spooky Halloween series!

Bad breath might seem like a normal part of having a pet, but sometimes it’s their way of telling us something isn’t quite right!

Dental disease, including gingivitis and periodontal disease, is common in pets and can affect their teeth and gums. Regular dental checks help us spot concerns and keep those mouths as healthy as possible.

If your pet’s kisses have become a little extra stinky, it’s worth getting those teeth checked. 🧡

Call us on 1300 362 726 to book a health check with our team.

👻 Day 2 of 6 in our spooky Halloween series!

A little scratch here and there is one thing, but when the scratching just won't stop, it's worth paying attention.

Persistent itching can have a few causes, from allergies to parasites or skin irritation. Your pet doesn't have to put up with being uncomfortable, and you don't have to guess what's going on.

If your fur-riend has been scratching more than usual, we're here to help. 🧡

Call us on 1300 362 726 to arrange an appointment with our team.
