Starting off toxicity month the same way most of us start our mornings....... CAFFEINE! ☕

Caffeine is toxic to pets, even in small amounts! Whether it's coffee, tea, energy drinks, or medication, keep these out of your pet's reach. If you suspect your pet has ingested caffeine, contact your vet immediately. Stay safe and protect your furry friends! 🐾🥰

Understanding your pet's normal vital signs is crucial for their health and well-being. Just like us, pets can experience changes in their body temperature, heart rate, and respiration, which can signal underlying health issues. By knowing what’s normal for your pet, you’ll be able to recognize when something is off, allowing you to take action quickly and get them the care they need. Regularly monitoring these vital signs can help detect potential problems early, ensuring your pet stays happy and healthy for years to come! 🐶🐱❤️

This month, we're highlighting common emergencies and essential first aid tips! Kicking things off (a little late...), we're covering SNAKE BITES 🐍

As the weather warms up, snakes emerge from their hiding spots to bask in the sun, making it more likely for our pets to encounter one. Unfortunately, this can result in snake bites. Here are some key signs to watch for and steps to take if you suspect your pet has been bitten.

Some important reminders if your pet is having a general anaesthetic or sedation with us

Is your pet trying to tell you something? Arthritis is a painful joint disease that 40% of dogs and cats silently suffer with. Here at CHVH we offer treatment that can relieve this pain and assist your dog or cat in getting back to their usual self. Speak to one of our professional’s today to find out if your pet needs treatment.

Did you know cats can suffer from arthritis pain? May is arthritis awareness month. Alleviate your cats osteoarthritis pain with Solensia, a monthly injection. Call 6652 1577 or book online via our website.

Now that the weather is getting cooler you may notice your dog slowing down on walks or limping. This could be from osteoarthritis pain. Fortunately, there is a new therapy available for your pet called Beransa. Beransa is a monthly injection designed to alleviate osteoarthrisis pain. Call 6652 1577 or book online 🙂

Shake it off!

Have you heard? We offer GapOnly® as a payment service! If your pet has a policy with a GapOnly® pet insurance partner, for eligible expenses you can access your pet insurance benefit on the spot, and you’ll only pay us the gap (which is the difference between the invoice and the eligible claim benefit under your policy).

Are you our new Veterinary Nurse? Looking for a fun and positive experienced Vet Nurse to join our growing team casual, full-time, or part-time. Days and hours are flexible, great pay and lots of team support! For more information or to apply, call our Practice Manager on 0266521577 or email [email protected]

These hot days we are having are putting our pets at risk of heat stroke. Please avoid exercising, do not leave your pet in your car, ensure there is shade for them and if possible keep them inside in the cool. Heat stroke can be fatal and lead to organ failure. Seek veterinary attention immediately if your pet shows the following signs: ☀breathing distress ☀collapse ☀vomitting ☀red gums ☀depression

The longest established Veterinary Hospital in Coffs Harbour

FROM family pets to whales, camels, cattle and snakes, the team at Coffs Harbour Veterinary Hospital has seen it all. Vet Vicky McClure took over the hospital from vet Barry Mufford 25 years ago.

"A lot has changed in that time,” she said. "Diagnostically there's no comparison now since the introduction of digital and dental x-rays. Also medically so much has changed with vaccines and preventative medicine. I remember having to give dogs daily tablets for heart-worm and if you missed one it could be fatal. Now we have annual treatments.

"One thing that has remained the same for me is relating to people and seeing the relationships they have with their pets. Some pets are bed buddies, some are exercise companions while others are members of the family.”

The small street frontage is not indicative of what goes on at 4 Lyster St. "It's a lot bigger on the inside than people realise. We are a large hospital and, in 2010, were instrumental in creating the shared after- hours emergency veterinary service.”
