He did it! 🎉
Barry has recently finished his last round of chemotherapy and we are all so proud! 🥹
This brave boy has amazed us with his resilience and lovely nature despite a few rounds of chemo. He is a very special wee boy ❤️
Great job Barry! And a shout out to his mum of course who would do absolutely anything to make sure her boy gets what he needs to feel good! 🥰

💙 Senior Pets Deserve Special Care 💙
Pets age more rapidly than humans and although a natural process, your pet becomes more susceptible to a number of health issues.

We recommend physical exams and blood work every 6 months for senior pets (Cat aged 10 + years and Dogs aged 7+ years). This helps monitor their organ function and notice any physical changes that may need to be addressed sooner rather than later to help keep your pet healthy as long as possible.

💚Here is lovely Pluto (9 yrs. Old), who visited our Pet Vets Manurewa clinic. His pet parents were very happy to find out that he got a clean bill of health after his health exam and senior blood test.

🐶How to Perform a "Flip the Lip" Dental Exam🐶

Dental disease is one of the most common medical problem in pets.
Few pets show obvious signs of dental disease, so it is up to the pet parents and veterinarian to uncover this hidden and often painful condition.

🐾 Pick a calm moment: Choose a time when your pet is relaxed, not during high-energy play or meal times.
🐾 Roll the lips back: Use your thumb and index finger to lift the upper lip upward and drop the lower lip downward.
🐾 Examine the molars: Pull the corners of the lips back toward the ears to fully expose the large back premolars and molars.
🐾 Check both sides: Spend just 5 to 10 seconds on one side, reward your pet, and then check the other side.

🙀Red Flags That Require a Vet Visit

🐾 Asymmetrical tartar: Heavy buildup on only one side of the mouth (indicates your pet is chewing on one side due to pain).
🐾 Gums that bleed easily: Bleeding when you lightly touch or lift the lip.
🐾 Foul odor: A strong, pungent smell that goes beyond normal "dog breath" or "cat breath."
🐾 Behavioral shifts: Pawing at the face, dropping dry food, or aggressively pulling away when you touch their muzzle

Catching dental disease early keeps your furry friend happy, healthy, and pain-free!
📞 Is your pet showing any of these signs? Don't wait. Call us at [09 250 0555 for Papatoetoe or 09 267 0800 for Manurewa} to book their dental checkup with one of our veterinary nurses to help with managing and treating dental problems! 💙
