Meet Duke 🐱a Persian, who visited us for a 🦷 clean ✨

Did you know that Persian cats have earned the nickname “furniture with fur”? 🤭

This is because of their very laid back and affectionate temperament 🥰

They are also often content to lounge around the house for hours 😴

Fortunately, for Duke, he has left us with a new set of pearly whites, and can return home to snoozing on the couch 😅

🚨🐾 Mosquito Season is Here: Is Your Pet Protected from Heartworm? 🦟

As the warmer months roll in, so do the mosquitoes! These pesky insects are not only an annoyance but can also transmit heartworm to our beloved pups.

Why is heartworm prevention so important?
Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition that is spread through mosquito bites. Once infected, it can affect your pet's heart, lungs, and other organs. The good news? Heartworm is preventable with regular preventative treatment!

💊If you're unsure whether your pet’s prevention is current, give us a call! We can check their records and recommend the best heartworm prevention plan for you and your pet.

📞Call us at (08) 8449 4011 to update their treatment today.

Let’s keep your pets happy, healthy, and heartworm free this mosquito season! 🌞

🚨🐍 Snake Season is Here! Keep Your Pets Safe 🐾

As summer heats up in Australia, snakes become more active, and the chances of your pets encountering one increase. At Port Adelaide Veterinary Clinic, we want to ensure your furry friends stay safe during snake season!

Here’s how you can protect your pets:

Keep lawns and bushes trimmed – Snakes love hiding in tall grass and undergrowth.

Stay vigilant on walks – Keep your dog on a lead in bushy or grassy areas, and always watch where they’re exploring.

Snake-proof your yard – Install barriers around your property and remove any piles of debris, which can attract snakes.

Keep pets inside during the hottest parts of the day when snakes are most active.

Remove food sources – Keep rodents and other small prey away from your home, as they attract snakes.

📞If you suspect your pet has been bitten, don’t wait. Contact us immediately!

Let’s work together to keep our pets safe this summer. 🌞
