🐍 Snakes are more active in warm weather, and with the rising temperatures we’ve seen lately, you can be sure they are now getting out and about.

Keep your home safe from snakes by trimming grass short, clearing debris away from your property, and supervising pets outside - particularly in known snake spots such as wood piles. If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake, seek emergency veterinary care immediately. 🚨

Yes, they can! 🐱 Cats can get painful and itchy ear infections from mites, allergies, or bacteria. Signs include head shaking, scratching, discharge or odour from the ears.

If you notice your cat is scratching their head or ears a lot, shaking their head, has a bad smell or thick, black discharge from their ears, they might have an ear infection. Early treatment results in better long-term outcomes, so don’t delay a visit to the vet. ✅

🤧 Frequent sneezing in cats can be the result of many different conditions including allergies, viral and bacterial infections, or dental disease.

Feline asthma is a common cause of sneezing and often peaks during Winter and Spring. If your cat is sneezing often, especially with discharge or a loss of appetite, contact us today to make an appointment with one of our friendly vets. 🐾

🐱 Warmer weather means more fleas, ticks, worms and other unwanted creatures. Keep your cat protected from these parasites with regular prevention.

Untreated parasites can pose a risk to other animals, humans, and cause severe irritation and even disease in our pets. All cats, including indoor cats, should be on regular parasite protection. Ask us which products suit your feline friend. 🛡️

🐾 Red, itchy eyes in dogs may be allergic conjunctivitis. While there are several causes of conjunctivitis in dogs, including bacterial, viral and allergic, changes in the seasons can result in an increase in allergic eye irritation. Triggers can include pollen, dust, or grass.

If your dog is squinting or rubbing their eyes, book a consult with our vets today to avoid unwanted complications. 👁️

What exactly is involved in a feline dental procedure? 🐱🦷

When we perform a dental procedure on your pet, we do so under a full general anaesthetic to minimise their stress and facilitate the most thorough exam (as your cat won’t “open wide” voluntarily!)

Depending on your cat’s particular condition, we may then take dental x-rays to check their tooth root health and will perform a recorded examination of all teeth known as “charting”. After this, we’ll get down to the business of cleaning and any necessary extractions (performed with numbing nerve blocks just like in people).

For more information on our thorough and gentle dental care, don’t hesitate to consult our friendly team! 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Did you know that greyhounds have a breed-related risk of abnormal bleeding after surgical or dental procedures? 🐕‍🦺

It is estimated that up to 30% of greyhounds might experience delayed bleeding in the 36-48 hours after surgery (or trauma) due to a condition known as fibrinolytic syndrome, which causes the premature weakening of blood clots over sites of bleeding, before they can heal.

The good news? We can help prevent issues with the administration of a clot-supporting medication to greyhounds before/during and after surgery. Hooray!

For more information on how we can help to support your pet during surgeries, consult our scalpel-safe team. 💬

“Can my pet have a dental clean performed at the same time as their desexing procedure?” 🤔

Whilst we understand the temptation of combining procedures under one visit, it’s usually safest for your pet to have these procedures performed separately.

This is because dental scaling (tooth cleaning with an ultrasonic cleaner) releases aerosolised bacteria into the air, which could increase your pet’s risk of nasty post-operative infection within their abdomen or desexing wound.

Oof, is your cat’s breath getting unpleasantly stinky? 😼💨

The most common cause of bad breath in cats is dental disease, as plaque and tartar build up on the teeth and beneath the gumline and sequester pongy bacteria.

Less commonly, bad breath in cats can be caused by ulcers or tumours in the mouth, or general health conditions such as kidney disease, illnesses that cause vomiting, or metabolic issues such as diabetes.

So, if you notice that your cat’s breath is on the whiffy side, take a deep breath and head to our clinic for some professional help!

While daily brushing is the gold standard in oral care for our pets, we understand that not every cat is amenable to having their teeth brushed! 🪥😾

If your cat is uncooperative for brush-training attempts, you can otherwise help to maintain their dental health with:
• Dental diets or treats with VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Council) accreditation
• Regular professional dental cleans, ideally around every 12 months to prevent irreversible dental damage
• Regular oral checks in the clinic and at home – we can show you how to do this if you’re unsure

How often should my dog have their teeth professionally cleaned? 🐶

This is dependent on the individual pet, as natural genetic differences, home oral care routines, and dietary factors will influence the rate at which dogs develop plaque and tartar. To prevent permanent tooth damage, some pets require a dental clean every 6 months, whilst some seem to be OK for a year or more.

To stay on top of your pup’s dental health, it’s recommended that they have their teeth checked at least annually as part of a general health check. 📅 Is your pet due for a dental check soon?
