🧼 Does your pet have itchy or inflamed skin, particularly as the weather begins to warm? Prescription or medicated shampoos can help manage allergic skin disease and soothe irritation.

There are lots of different types of shampoos depending on your pet’s particular needs. Ask us if a medicated wash could benefit your pet’s skin health. 🐶

🦶 Licking or redness between your dog’s toes can be caused by allergies, grass seeds, injuries or infections. In Spring, we see an increase in both allergic skin disease as well as injuries caused by penetrating grass seeds.

Dogs with particularly hairy feet and toes tend to be at increased risk. Persistent irritation to your pet’s skin should be checked by a vet without delay, as early treatment can prevent worse outcomes. ✅

🐍 Snakes are more active in warm weather, and with the rising temperatures we’ve seen lately, you can be sure they are now getting out and about.

Keep your home safe from snakes by trimming grass short, clearing debris away from your property, and supervising pets outside - particularly in known snake spots such as wood piles. If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake, seek emergency veterinary care immediately. 🚨

Yes, they can! 🐱 Cats can get painful and itchy ear infections from mites, allergies, or bacteria. Signs include head shaking, scratching, discharge or odour from the ears.

If you notice your cat is scratching their head or ears a lot, shaking their head, has a bad smell or thick, black discharge from their ears, they might have an ear infection. Early treatment results in better long-term outcomes, so don’t delay a visit to the vet. ✅

🤧 Frequent sneezing in cats can be the result of many different conditions including allergies, viral and bacterial infections, or dental disease.

Feline asthma is a common cause of sneezing and often peaks during Winter and Spring. If your cat is sneezing often, especially with discharge or a loss of appetite, contact us today to make an appointment with one of our friendly vets. 🐾

🐱 Warmer weather means more fleas, ticks, worms and other unwanted creatures. Keep your cat protected from these parasites with regular prevention.

Untreated parasites can pose a risk to other animals, humans, and cause severe irritation and even disease in our pets. All cats, including indoor cats, should be on regular parasite protection. Ask us which products suit your feline friend. 🛡️

Is your dog scratching more than usual? 🐶 Fleas may be the cause!

Now that the weather is warming up, fleas and other parasites begin to swell in numbers.

Here are some signs to watch for:
✅ Flea dirt (black specks)
✅ Red bumps
✅ Unstoppable scratching or self-biting
✅ Hair loss

Year-round parasite prevention is key to avoiding infestations. Ask us about the best flea control for your dog.

🐾 Red, itchy eyes in dogs may be allergic conjunctivitis. While there are several causes of conjunctivitis in dogs, including bacterial, viral and allergic, changes in the seasons can result in an increase in allergic eye irritation. Triggers can include pollen, dust, or grass.

If your dog is squinting or rubbing their eyes, book a consult with our vets today to avoid unwanted complications. 👁️

What exactly is involved in a feline dental procedure? 🐱🦷

When we perform a dental procedure on your pet, we do so under a full general anaesthetic to minimise their stress and facilitate the most thorough exam (as your cat won’t “open wide” voluntarily!)

Depending on your cat’s particular condition, we may then take dental x-rays to check their tooth root health and will perform a recorded examination of all teeth known as “charting”. After this, we’ll get down to the business of cleaning and any necessary extractions (performed with numbing nerve blocks just like in people).

For more information on our thorough and gentle dental care, don’t hesitate to consult our friendly team! 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Did you know that greyhounds have a breed-related risk of abnormal bleeding after surgical or dental procedures? 🐕‍🦺

It is estimated that up to 30% of greyhounds might experience delayed bleeding in the 36-48 hours after surgery (or trauma) due to a condition known as fibrinolytic syndrome, which causes the premature weakening of blood clots over sites of bleeding, before they can heal.

The good news? We can help prevent issues with the administration of a clot-supporting medication to greyhounds before/during and after surgery. Hooray!

For more information on how we can help to support your pet during surgeries, consult our scalpel-safe team. 💬

“Can my pet have a dental clean performed at the same time as their desexing procedure?” 🤔

Whilst we understand the temptation of combining procedures under one visit, it’s usually safest for your pet to have these procedures performed separately.

This is because dental scaling (tooth cleaning with an ultrasonic cleaner) releases aerosolised bacteria into the air, which could increase your pet’s risk of nasty post-operative infection within their abdomen or desexing wound.

For more information on safe pet dentistry and surgery, consult our knowledgeable team.
