With our temperate climate in South Africa, there’s really no such thing as a ‘tick and flea season’ – your dog or cat is always susceptible to ticks, fleas and other parasites. These little critters can cause serious harm to your dog’s system - from biliary and tick bite fever to anaemia, flea allergies, and tapeworms. Yuck! Ticks and fleas are the perfect example for prevention being better than cure.

Please make sure your pets tick and flea treatments are up to date so they are protected against these external parasites.

Does your cat’s bad breath keep the two of you from snuggling? Do you wish you could give your dog a breath mint? Contrary to popular belief, “doggy breath” is not normal. In fact, it could be one of the first signs that your furry pal is developing dental disease.

What is dental disease?Dental disease is a painful condition that occurs when bacteria, plaque, and tartar build up on the teeth and get trapped beneath the gumline. The bacteria can be absorbed into the bloodstream and wreak havoc on other major organs throughout their body.

Dental disease begins early in life. By the age of three, most dogs and cats have some degree of dental disease. The early signs of dental disease in pets include bad breath, yellow tartar buildup on the teeth, and red and swollen gums.

With October coming to an end, in order to take advantage of this month’s discounted rates, phone us on (011) 974 5201 to book you pet’s free dental exam or dental as soon as possible.
