CANCELLATION LIST

The next TWO days are completely booked out - with Wednesday filling up fast. We are trying to accommodate requests but our cancellation list is currently 10+ long. Our limited emergency spots are reserved for life threatening emergencies.

Please: If you know you will not be attending your appointment, call us to cancel so we can fit other pets in.

Thank you for everyone being so patient this morning.

🦠 PARVOVIRUS 🦠

What a horrible illness for such vulnerable little puppies 😔

Unfortunately, we have seen an increase in confirmed cases this week.

**If you suspect your dog may have parvovirus - please remain in the car on arrival until the team has cleared you to enter the clinic.**

It is very important to keep your puppies isolated until they have completed their full vaccination schedule.

So that means:
- no walks
- no dog parks
- no wandering the front yard lawn
- no play dates
- no visitors that have dogs

How is it spread?
It can be spread by direct contact with an infected dog or indirectly through contaminated faeces in the environment. It can survive in the environment for years. This means you can bring it into your house on your shoes! So even if your dog “never goes out the house”, you can still bring it home to them. This is why vaccinations are so important.

Who is at risks?
Puppies aged 6 weeks to 6 months. Before 6 weeks of age, puppies have some immunity from their mother’s milk, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still be careful. Unvaccinated adults can also contract the virus.

What are the symptoms?
- lethargy, weakness
- vomiting
- diarrhoea
- blood in faeces
- dehydration
- loss of appetite
- fever

How is it treated?
There is no magic cure for parvovirus. It is mainly supportive care. Severe cases require hospitalisation with intensive nursing, intravenous fluids, anti nausea medication, antibiotics, supplementation, in some cases feeding tubes, blood transfusions and plasma infusions.

Even with intensive nursing, this highly contagious virus can be deadly.

Don’t you just want to wrap your little baby up in bubble wrap? 😢

🎄 Festive Season Housekeeping Update 🎄

As we head into the holiday period, we’d like to share some important reminders to help everything run smoothly and ensure your pets get the best possible care:

🐾 Higher Waiting Times
Many nearby clinics will be closed over the festive season, and we are one of the few remaining open. Because of this, waiting times may be longer than usual. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this busy time.

🐾 Emergency Guidance
If your pet has an emergency, please call us before arriving so our team can prepare and advise you on the best course of action. This helps us manage cases safely and efficiently.

🐾 Please Book in Advance
Appointment availability may be limited. We may not be able to offer an appointment for a couple of days unless it is an emergency. Booking ahead helps us help you.

🐾 Medication & Food Refills
Please order repeat prescriptions and pet food early. Suppliers and couriers may experience delays over the festive period, and we want to ensure your pets don’t run out of essentials.

🐾 Holiday Opening Hours
Please check our adjusted festive opening hours, as there has been an adjustment for public holidays.

🐾 Payment Information
Just a reminder that payment is required at the time of treatment. Accepted payment methods are Cash, Credit/Debit card, Vetpay, Afterpay. It may be wise to put a little aside now if possible, just in case. Surcharges will apply for emergencies, public holidays and after hours.

🐾 Festive Safety Tips
Christmas can bring hidden hazards for pets. Please keep them away from chocolate, raisins/sultanas, Christmas pudding, mince pies, lilies, batteries, tinsel, ribbons and alcohol. These are common causes of emergency visits at this time of year.

🐾 No Abuse Will Be Tolerated
Our team is working incredibly hard to support every patient who needs us. We will not tolerate any form of aggression or abusive behaviour towards our staff. You will be terminated as a client.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and kindness over the festive season. Our team is here to support you and your pets, and we truly appreciate your cooperation. ❤️

Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday period! 🎅🐶🐱

Does this look like your Christmas to do list?

Some of us are guilty of leaving things to the last minute 🤷🏼‍♀️ so here is your advance notice to do list:

- If your pet is going into a boarding facility over the holiday, they may require a booster vaccination to be done 2 weeks beforehand.
*appointments are filling up 3-4 days in advance. We may not be able to accommodate last minute bookings for routine appointments*

- If your pet is on regular medications, it would be best to arrange it now, just in case they are due for their 6 month review to be able to have more dispensed. Please allow 24 hours for medication requests.
*or if you need calming medications for New Year’s Eve fireworks*

- Need presents for your pet? We have toys and treats available in the clinic.

- Get in early with ordering their prescription food if needed, ordering from our supplier could have delays or be slightly altered due to public holidays.

- If your friends and family bring their pets over to socialise with yours, make sure your pet flea prevention is up to date.

Share this post to help remind your family and friends!
