The Frosty Days Are Here!
Chilly winds, frosts and low temperatures can bring discomfort to our pets, especially those that live outdoors, but there are simple steps that can make our pets warm up to winter.
Make sure your pets have a spot sheltered from the wind and rain, and maybe they are due for some updated bedding to keep them up off the cold ground. They could also benefit from a jacket especially overnight.
Come the cooler months we also see a large increase in Arthritis symptoms, if your older dog is struggling to get up out of bed, seems more stiff and sore, licking joints or reluctant to walk or play, please book an appointment so we can help make them more comfortable during this colder period.
We can't all be under a heat lamp like Nurse Lauren's Beaded Dragon Sprocket and I'm sure there are some wonderful and creative ways our community keep their pets warm, so please feel free to share a photo or ideas in the comments.

Always a highlight watching the yard dog trials at the Dubbo Show Society — and this year we were proud to sponsor them!

These incredibly talented dogs know exactly where to go and how to get the job done, working with loyalty, precision, and true partnership with their handlers.

It’s clear how much effort goes into every part of the show, and it’s a real credit to all involved. Well done to everyone who made it happen! 🐑🐕👏

The Dubbo Show has started for another year 🎆
The show is always lots of fun (and a bit chaotic), we just wanted to let you know the fireworks are scheduled for 8pm tomorrow (Saturday) night. If you know or are unsure if your pet has anxiety during fireworks be sure they are secure in your house or yard before you head out to enjoy them yourselves.
You can head to our website to read more about what you can do to help your pets during these times.

The last week of DENTAL MONTH here at the clinic 🦷
Did you know we have a specific Dental Xray Machine?
This xray machine allows us to take multiple views while your pet is in for a Dental procedure to check the health of teeth below the gum line. Sometimes the crown of a tooth may look ok, and an xray can show otherwise! or the other way around, we may think a tooth needs removing however it's perfectly healthy below the gum. Without this equipment a tooth may be unnecessarily removed.

Make sure you book in for our last week of FREE DENTAL CHECKS and 10% OFF DENTAL PROCEDURES.

Does your pet have bad breath?🦷

Bad breath and tooth loss in older pets is NOT inevitable. Bad breath usually means infection, which causes dogs and cats to lose their teeth when severe. Bad breath is a sign of disease – their breath should not smell foul!
Poor oral hygiene allows plaque and associated bacteria to build up on the teeth. This causes gingivitis. As gingivitis progresses, bacteria increases and different types of bacteria produce foul smelling gases and by-products. Bad breath is also influenced by pus in the mouth in severe cases of dental infection, as well as food, hair and other debris.

Older pets do not naturally lose their teeth as part of ageing. The teeth of dogs and cats are embedded deep within the bones of the face. For teeth to be lost, there has to be extensive damage to the ligaments and bones that support them. This is advanced periodontal disease.

So if you have any concerns regarding your pets bad breath or other dental issues be sure to call us on 02 6884 9900 to book in for your FREE DENTAL CHECK this month.
