Whilst off-leash dog areas can be a great way to provide your pet with free exercise and playtime, they can also pose some risks to your pet’s safety. 🐕

Any pet out and about in the summer heat and/or humidity can be at risk of developing dangerous heatstroke. Particularly prone are those pets with breathing compromise (e.g. flatter-faced breeds such as bulldogs) or very thick coats (such as golden retrievers). ☀️

If your pet is drooling excessively or looks weak or wobbly, it’s best to wet them down and then transport them in an air-conditioned vehicle for an urgent assessment with our experienced vets. 🚗🐶

Never Leave Your Pet in a Car! Here's Why 🐾

During the summer months, we love to bring our best buds in the car to hit the beach, or get a cold drink through the drive thru. 😎☀️

However, leaving your pet in a car—even for just a few minutes—can be life-threatening. On a warm day, the temperature inside a car can rise by 20-30°C in just 10 minutes, putting your pet at severe risk of heatstroke. Pets can’t sweat like humans, making it harder for them to regulate their body temperature, and even with the windows cracked, it’s not enough to keep them safe.

What you should know:

🚗 Heatstroke can develop quickly and cause irreversible damage or even death.
🚙 Dogs with shorter noses (like Bulldogs and Pugs) are particularly at risk.
🚗Even on cooler days, the temperature inside a parked car can still become dangerous.

To keep your pet safe:

🚙 Never leave your pet alone in the car, regardless of the weather.
🚗 If you need to bring your pet along, make sure they have access to water and never leave them in the vehicle unattended.
🚙 If you see a pet in distress in a car, contact authorities immediately.
🚗 Your pet’s safety should always be a top priority—don’t risk it this summer!

🐈‍⬛ Toxic plants – Holly, mistletoe, and poinsettias can harm your cat if chewed.
🐈‍⬛ Candles & lights – Avoid burns or electrical shocks by keeping cords and open flames away from curious paws.
🐈‍⬛ Human treats – Chocolate, alcohol, and rich foods are toxic to cats.

🐾 Tick Season Update 🐾

Tick season is in full swing, and this November alone, we've seen 32 cases of tick paralysis! As we approach summer, the risk to your pets grows, with paralysis ticks being a serious and often fatal threat if not treated quickly. These ticks can cause severe symptoms, so early intervention is essential.

To keep your pets safe, prevention is key. The quicker a tick is found and removed, the less harm it can cause. Stay proactive and vigilant this tick season!

Key Tips for Tick Prevention:
🐾 Regular checks: After outdoor activities, thoroughly inspect your pet for ticks.
🐾 Preventative treatments: Use vet-approved tick preventatives like Nexgard Spectra or Bravecto.
🐾 Immediate action: If you find a tick, carefully remove it with tweezers and contact your vet for advice.

Don't wait for symptoms—prevention is the best protection! 🐕💚

If you and your pet will be visiting the beach or another waterway this summer, we’d advise keeping them by your side so that you can keep an eye out for wayward fish hooks. 🏖️

Unfortunately, fish hooks (with remnants of bait on them) are sometimes left scattered around popular fishing areas, and are then unintentionally snatched up by greedy pets. 🐟🐕

If you suspect your pet may have unfortunately “taken the bait”, we’d recommend a prompt assessment with one of our vets.

During summer, we see a “step up” in the number of pet paw pad injuries. 🐾

If you note a scrape-like abrasion on your dog’s paw, you can usually manage this at home by: Limiting them to very short walks on soft dry ground for 10-14 days, to allow the injury to heal. For toileting in wet weather, temporarily taping a thick plastic bag over your pet’s entire paw to keep the wound clean and dry – just ensure you remove this promptly afterwards to prevent the paw from becoming sweaty and irritated. ☔

However, if your pet’s paw injury is a deeper cut that may require stitching, we’d advise a prompt check-up with one of our pawsome vets. 🩹

🌞 Important Summer Pet Safety Reminder 🌞

As we enjoy warmer weather, like the super cool pup Chilli pictured below, it’s crucial to be aware of the risks of heatstroke and saltwater toxicity in pets.

🔥 Heatstroke is a serious condition that can occur quickly in high temperatures. Common signs include excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting, or collapse. This is extremely pertinent to Brachycephalic breeds, such as French Bulldogs, as their shortened airways restrict airflow.
To prevent heatstroke, ensure your pet has access to fresh water, shade, and avoid intense physical activity during peak heat.

🌊 Saltwater toxicity can result from pets ingesting ocean water, leading to symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, or lethargy.
Always provide fresh water to your pet and limit their exposure to salty water.

If you notice any signs of distress in your pet, seek veterinary attention immediately. Stay proactive and keep your pets safe this summer! 🐾

Planning is key to a successful boarding stay. If you’re planning to leave your anxious dog at a boarding kennel, it’s important to ensure they have what they need to make their stay successful. 🐕

Inform your kennel ahead of time of their needs, and ensure you supply enough medication (if they are medicated) to last the duration of the stay. 💊 Always provide several emergency contacts including veterinarian details. It’s worth considering alternatives to boarding also, if you don’t think your dog will cope well.

Meet Daphne, the sweet Highland calf who stole our hearts during her recent stay at our clinic! ✨🫶🏻

At only a little over a month old, Daphne was a strong and lively little calf, but when she was affected by paralysis ticks it quickly became clear how even these small parasites can cause big challenges—affecting even large mammals like cows! 🐮

Daphne spent several days in our care, receiving lots of love, attention, and treatment. Back at home, her devoted mother, Dottie, stayed close to their owner, following them around the whole time Daphne was away. It was clear how much Dottie missed her little one! ❤️

We’re so happy to share that Daphne has made a full recovery and is now back home with her family - mumma Dottie is back to trying to keep up with her energetic little one!

We’re grateful for the opportunity to care for Daphne, and this experience reminds us all of the importance of protecting our animals from the dangers of ticks. Wishing Daphne, Dottie, and their family all the best as they continue to thrive together. 💙🐄

If you’ve recently gotten a puppy, you might have wondered if they can go into boarding kennels when you go away.

Boarding kennels might not be the best option for young puppies. 🐶 All dogs should be appropriately vaccinated prior to going into kennels, so that means puppies under 4 months of age might not be fully vaccinated yet.

Additionally, puppies can have high needs, so might require more hands-on support than is traditionally provided at many kennels. Other options include full-time pet sitters or relatives and friends. 🏡

Friendly reminder: tick season is well and truly here! ⚠️

We have recently been inundated with Tick Paralysis cases, and want to stress the importance of preventative care. 🏥

As you can see - these are some ugly bugs! 🐜

Be sure to keep your pets protected by staying up to date with tick prevention treatments and checking them regularly for any signs of ticks. 👀

Taking these simple steps will help keep your pets safe and healthy all season long. ☀️

If you’re planning to go away this summer, it’s important to plan how your dog will get vet care while you’re away. 🌞

If you’re taking them with you, ensure you have enough medication to last while you’re away and look up your closest veterinary clinic, particularly for after-hours care. 🐕

If they are staying home, ensure their caregiver knows who your vet is (both in-hours and after-hours) and how they will pay for treatment if you cannot be contacted.

It can be difficult to medicate a cat. 🐾 However, these days, when it comes to anti-parasitic treatments, there are so many options that even the fussiest cat can tolerate.

It’s important your cat has protection against fleas, worms and ticks year-round if they go outside (even on a leash). 🌳 If they’re indoors only, they still require treatment against worms and fleas, however often at a reduced frequency.

Contact the clinic if you aren’t sure what your cat needs.

Our Story

The Bomaderry Veterinary Hospital was established in the early 1970s by Dr Peter Brown as a one vet practice. It was one of the first Veterinary hospitals in the Shoalhaven area, and was predominantly a large animal practice, servicing the dairy farming industry.

Today the practice has grown significantly employing 11 Veterinarians and 13 support staff between all three practices. Although the practice is still a mixed practice servicing large and small animals, we now see predominantly more companion animals.

In the year 2000 the practice moved into its current premises at 335 Princes Hwy Bomaderry. This facility is much larger than the previous premises and boasts 3 large consultation rooms, a large reception area, Radiography room, Surgery Theatre, patient room, preparation area and a grooming parlour.

The Hospital is readily accessed from the Princes Highway. There is plenty of off street parking with the carpark being spacious enough to even bring a horse float in.
