☀️ Summer’s Coming — Let’s Talk Grooming! 🐾

With the warmer months on the way, now’s the perfect time to chat about your pet’s grooming needs. Some pets are better off keeping their coats and having them brushed out properly to help with airflow and temperature regulation — it really depends on their breed and coat type.

However, there are definitely times when a summer clip can help your furry friend stay cooler and more comfortable! If you’re not sure which option is best, just ask our team — we’re always happy to help you decide what’s right for your pet and assist with their groom if you like. 🩷

🐾 Those Adorable German Shepherd Ears! 🐶

One of the cutest things about German Shepherd puppies has to be their big, floppy ears! 💛 While they often start out soft and droopy, as your pup grows, their ears usually become upright — a signature trait of this beautiful breed.

With proper nutrition, gentle handling, and time, those little ears will strengthen and stand tall all on their own. Every pup develops at their own pace, so patience is key!

It’s important to remember that those puppy ears are made of delicate cartilage that’s still developing. Too much handling, bending, or playing rough with them can affect how strong the cartilage becomes — so it’s best to resist the urge to fold or tug on them (no matter how cute they are!).

A balanced diet rich in protein and calcium, along with regular vet checks, will help support healthy ear development. 🩺 And if your shepherd’s ears haven’t lifted by around 7–8 months, our friendly team at Brighton Veterinary Surgery is always happy to give advice and make sure everything’s on track.

We love watching those ears go from floppy to fantastic! 🐕✨

🦷 Buddy’s Big Dental Day! 🐾

Buddy recently came in for his dental procedure with a few extractions. Dental days can sound a little daunting at first, but here at Brighton Veterinary Surgery, they’re just a day visit — your furry friend gets to go home the same afternoon once they’ve fully recovered from their anaesthetic.

Buddy did wonderfully throughout his procedure and made the most of his stay by enjoying some sunshine and taking in all the clinic sniffs before heading home. 🌞🐶

Dental care helps keep your pet happy, healthy, and pain-free — just like Buddy! 💛

💪 Keep Those Joints Jumping with 4CYTE®! 🐾

Whether your pet is a playful pup, a working dog, or a senior starting to slow down — joint health matters. That’s where 4CYTE® comes in!

🌿 What makes 4CYTE® different?
It contains a unique, patented ingredient called Epitalis®, scientifically developed to protect, repair, and regenerate joint cartilage. Unlike many supplements that only target inflammation, Epitalis® works at a cellular level to help rebuild healthy cartilage and improve long-term joint function.

✅ Supports joint health and mobility
✅ Aids in recovery after injury or surgery
✅ Suitable for both dogs and cats
✅ Backed by scientific research

If your pet is showing signs of stiffness, slowing down on walks, or just not as playful as usual, chat with our veterinary team about whether 4CYTE® could help.

The beauty of 4CYTE® is that there is alternative option for those pets who have health issues in which they have dietary modifications, inclusive of both cats and dogs.

Let’s keep those tails wagging and paws moving freely! 💚

📞 Call us on 3269 2223 or ask our friendly nurses at your next visit about 4CYTE®.

📬🐾 Check your mailbox, not your inbox! 🐾📬

We’ve had to resort to the good ole’ snail mail (pony express, if you will 🐎) for a little while! Due to a small but pesky technical glitch, we’re currently unable to send email reminders for your furbabies’ upcoming visits, vaccinations, or treatments.

So please take a peek in that box with the slit out in your front yard — your pet’s reminders might be waiting there! 💌

We appreciate your patience while we wrangle this tech hiccup — and thank you for keeping your furry family members up to date with their care! ❤️🐶🐱

🐾 Paw-dicures Matter Too! ✂️💅

Just like us, our pets need regular “manicures and pedicures” to keep them feeling their best! While it might sound cute, keeping your pet’s nails trimmed is actually an important part of their overall health and comfort.

Here’s why those nails can get a little out of hand (or paw!):
🐾 Less natural wear: Indoor pets or those who mainly walk on soft grass don’t wear their nails down as much as they used to.
🐾 Slower metabolism with age: Senior pets often have nails that grow faster than they’re worn down.
🐾 Changes in activity: Illness, arthritis or lifestyle changes can reduce exercise, allowing nails to grow longer.

When nails get too long, they can:
⚠️ Make walking uncomfortable or cause slipping
⚠️ Put pressure on the toes and joints
⚠️ Risk splitting, breaking, or even curling into paw pads

We know there are many nail grinders and gadgets advertised for home use—but it’s important to be cautious. The noise and vibration can be unsettling for many pets, and even traditional clippers can be tricky to use safely. Cutting too short can nick the quick, causing pain and bleeding, and pets often resist having their paws handled, making the experience stressful for both pet and owner.

Our nursing team at Brighton Veterinary Surgery is experienced in gentle restraint and safe nail care—turning a stressful task into a calm, positive experience for your furry friend. Regular trims help prevent discomfort, maintain healthy paws, and keep your pet walking happily and confidently. 🐕🐈

💚 If you’d like help with your pet’s next paw-dicure, give us a call or book an appointment with our team!

🐾 Time for a Pet Mani-Pedi! ✂️🐶🐱

Keeping your pet’s nails trimmed isn’t just for looks — it’s an important part of their overall health and comfort. Overgrown nails can cause pain, change how your pet walks, and even lead to injuries.

If you’re trimming at home, be sure to:
✅ Use proper pet nail clippers (not human ones!)
✅ Trim just a little at a time to avoid the quick
✅ Reward your pet with treats and praise to make it a positive experience

But if the thought of nail trimming makes you nervous — or your furbaby wriggles a little too much — we’ve got you covered! 💛

Gizmo and Pippi love visiting Brighton Veterinary Surgery for their regular paw-dicures, and your pet can too. Our team makes nail trims quick, gentle, and stress-free!

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

As the weather warms up, snakes become more active, and curious pets can easily get themselves into trouble! Even a small bite can be life-threatening, so it’s important to stay alert.

🚨 Common signs of snake bite in pets include:
⚡ Sudden weakness or collapse (sometimes followed by a brief recovery)
⚡ Dilated pupils
⚡ Trembling or paralysis
⚡ Drooling or vomiting
⚡ Difficulty breathing

If you suspect your pet has been bitten:
1️⃣ Keep them calm and as still and calm as possible.
2️⃣ Do NOT try to suck out or wash the wound.
3️⃣ Get to a vet immediately — every minute counts.

🐾 Prevention tips:
✅ Keep grass trimmed and yards clear of debris
✅ Supervise pets outdoors, especially in bushy or rural areas
✅ Avoid walking dogs off-lead near long grass, creeks, or rocks

Snake bites are always an emergency — call us right away on 3269 2223 if you think your pet may have been bitten and we will direct you from there.

Let’s keep our furry friends safe this summer! 💚

🐱💉 Let’s Talk About FIV in Cats 💉🐱

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a serious viral infection that weakens your cat’s immune system, making it harder for them to fight off everyday illnesses. It’s often spread through bite wounds, which means outdoor or fighting cats are most at risk.

⚠️ Possible symptoms of FIV can include:

Recurrent infections (skin, mouth, respiratory)

Weight loss or poor coat condition

Fever or lethargy

Inflammation of the gums or mouth

Slow-healing wounds

The tricky part? Many cats can appear healthy for years before showing signs — which is why prevention and testing are so important.

✅ What we can do:
We offer FIV testing and vaccination to help protect your cat from this preventable disease. If your cat spends any time outdoors or around other cats, talk to our team about getting them tested and vaccinated today.

Keeping your cat protected means more happy, healthy years together! ❤️🐾

📞 Call us at Brighton Veterinary Surgery on 3269 2223 to book their FIV test or vaccination.
