Eyes that could melt butter ... and a typical retriever attitude that follows 🤣

'Honey' received her first puppy groom from our team last week - which included a bath (which she was not too happy about!), blow dry, nail clip, brush out and a beautiful bow ❤

Even though it's winter, it's important our pets continue to get groomed. Give our grooming team a call today on 34476392 to book your best friend in 🐾

Have you noticed your pet slowing down?
Less enthusiastic to chase the ball?
Sleeping more often?

Antinol Plus may be the perfect solution for your pet!

A natural joint and wellness supplement, Antinol Plus is made from a blend of green-lipped muscle oil and over 90 fatty acids (including Omega-3). The fishy flavour makes it super tasty for our pets, with more than 95% of dogs and cats eating it straight from their owners' hands!

Antinol Plus is also currently 20% off with our Senior Pet Promotion during June and July!

Visit one of our hospitals today and chat to our staff about whether Antinol is right for your fur-family 🐾

When a pet ‘slows down’ with age, what does this actually mean…?

Is it normal?

Underlying health concerns, not visible ‘on the outside’ could be the reason.

Designed for senior-specific concerns such as eyesight, hearing, joint, weight, dental and cognitive health, as well as comprehensive blood and urine testing, our senior pet promotion provides the full scope of information about where your pet’s health really stands.

Let's talk about FLUTD and what it means for our feline friends 🐾

Our team are currently seeing an increase in the number of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) cases across our three hospitals. This illness affects the bladder in our cats, with sometimes no known underlying cause.

Signs and symptoms of FLUTD can include:

🐱 Difficulty and/or painful urination
🐱 Increased trips to the litter tray
🐱 Vocalisation when urinating
🐱 Blood in urine
🐱 Excessive licking around the ge***al area
🐱 Behavioural changes (eg, aggression or hiding)

If your cat shows any of these signs or symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention immediately as FLUTD can become a life-threatening condition.

Strike a pose 📸

Gorgeous 'Rory' is a frequent flyer with our grooming team, seeing them for a freshen up every 5 weeks to make sure he always looks his best 😍

Grooming during the cooler months is SUPER important. Constant wearing of coats and keeping the hair longer can lead to matting (which can be very painful!)

Make sure to book your bestie in for cleanliness and comfort all year-round ✂️

Nurse Sandra is a sustainability superstar, often finding ways to repurpose, reuse and recycle many items to help reduce waste that eventually ends up in landfill!

Some examples of this include:

♻️ She takes home the woolen insulation mats (that our cold goods come in from our suppliers) and cardboard boxes, using them as w**d mats in her garden.
♻️ She takes food scraps from our lunchroom home for her lovely chickens.
♻️ She takes home non contaminated plastic syringes to use in creating her amazing artworks.
♻️ She brings into clinic empty shampoo bottles that we turn into refillable detergent bottles

AND we are super lucky that she often brings in fresh produce from her garden to share with the team - look at the size of that pumpkin! ❤

Can you think of ways you can repurpose/reuse items to reduce waste? Tell us!

During April, our staff had the opportunity to bring in old electronic waste from home for recycling - we ended up collecting a car full of old appliances and electronic goods!

You too can support them to by donating your unwanted electronic items!

A small everyday change can make a big difference to the environment 🌎

Take plastic p**p bags for example.
Did you know that they often end up down waterways and sewers, blocking water flow or accidentally being eaten by our beautiful wildlife? 😢

Our hospitals have switched to compostable dog p**p bags (we love the ones from Oh Crap!) to help reduce this number 🐾

Let's play a game!

Despite the weather starting to cool down, Paralysis Ticks are still out and about (in fact they never actually stop due to Queensland being the 'Sunshine State').
Our team pulled all of these ticks off ONE patient last week! 😮

How many do you see? 🧐

Today is World Bee Day 🐝

We all know they produce delicious honey, but did you know that bees are responsible for helping to produce more than 1/3 of our food supply? They are crucial to our environment, helping to pollinate plants.

Our Climate Care team have recently hung this beautiful man-made beehive at our Springfield Hospital to create a comfortable and safe home for the bees in our area.

Let's celebrate and protect our bees - we couldn't imagine a world without them ❤️

Our Climate Care team have been busy the last couple of months, working through their newest module 'buying for a better future' which included reviewing all of the companies we purchase items through and switching to more sustainable options - evening finding that some of the newer products are cheaper than the old ones!

These items included toilet paper, facial tissues, paper towel, bin liners, dog p**p bags, dishwashing liquid, coffee beans and baby wipes.
