✨ SUBMISSIONS OPEN✨

Looks like our Halloween theme was a little too spooky — none of our furry (or feathered) pals were up for dressing up! 😅 But don’t worry, a brand-new month means a brand-new theme, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next! 🎉🐾

This month's theme is... Nosey November! 👃
You know what that means… it’s time to celebrate the cutest, boopiest, most inquisitive noses around! 🐶🐱🐰🐹

Does your pet’s snout lead every adventure? Are they the first to investigate every rustle, treat, or open bag? We want to see those sniff-tastic snoots!

Our Pet of the Month will be crowned on November 28th — and will win ultimate bragging rights (and maybe a little surprise too 👀🎁).

So get snapping, start booping, and let’s see those nosy noses take over our feed this month! 🐽💖

🐍☀️ Snake Season in Canberra & Surrounds 🐾

As the weather warms up, snake activity increases — and that means more risk to our curious pets.

🐶 Dogs often chase snakes.
🐱 Cats love to hunt them.
Both are at high risk of snake bites.

⚠️ Snake bites are life-threatening and require immediate vet care!

📞 If in doubt, ALWAYS contact your vet. Early treatment can save lives.

🌞🐾 Summer is coming... and so are TICKS! 🐾🌞

Is your pet protected?

As temperatures rise, so does the risk of tick poisoning — a serious and potentially fatal condition that can affect pets anywhere, not just near the coast. 🕷️

🐶 Whether your pet enjoys beach trips, bushwalks, or backyard naps — they’re at risk.

🛡️ Tick safety checklist:
✅ Check when your pet last had tick prevention
✅ Inspect daily — especially especially ears, neck, and paws
✅ Consult your vet for flea and tick preventative options (avoid supermarket brands)
✅ Seek immediate vet care if you suspect tick paralysis 🩺

⚠️ Tick poisoning is a medical emergency. Early detection and treatment can save your pet’s life.

💚 A few simple steps now can protect your pet all season long — and beyond!
Let’s keep our pets happy, healthy, and pest-free! 💚

📅 Don’t wait — start prevention now!

🚨 CONFIRMED CASES: ALGAE TOXICITY IN CANBERRA LAKES 🚨

Several recent cases of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) poisoning have been reported in dogs after swimming in Lake Ginninderra and Lake Burley Griffin.
We strongly urge all Canberra dog owners to exercise caution when walking near lakes, ponds, or stagnant water — especially now as we head into the warmer months.

See below for more information about this toxin.
- Found in warm, stagnant water like ponds & lakes
- Dogs can get sick just by drinking, swimming, or licking it off their fur
- Toxins act FAST — signs show up in minutes to hours
- Signs/Symptoms include: Vomiting, seizures, weakness, excessive drooling and breathing difficulty.

Blue-green algae can be DEADLY to dogs — even in tiny amounts.

If exposed: Rinse your dog off immediately and call your vet!

Hot Tip: Bring fresh water for your dog and avoid any water with algae scum or a bad smell.

✨STAFF INTRODUCTIONS✨
It’s time to introduce a clinic favourite – Dr. Kabir (aka Dr. Kabs)!
Dr. Kabs is our go-to vet for both the usual suspects and the more exotic patients. From dogs and cats to bunnies, birds, and even the occasional reptile (when he's feeling adventurous), Dr. Kabs loves caring for them all 🐶🐱🐰🐦
He definitely keeps our nursing team on their toes, but one thing’s for sure – there’s never a dull moment when Dr. Kabs is around! 😉

✨ STAFF INTRODUCTIONS ✨
It’s been a little minute since you met a staff member so we thought we would welcome back one of our favourites, Maggie.
