Ear infections are one of the most common issues we see in pets, especially dogs with floppy ears or those who love a swim. The shape of their ear canal can trap moisture and debris, making it easier for infections to develop. But with the right care, these problems can often be avoided or treated early.

Signs your pet might have an ear issue ⬇️
🐱 scratching or shaking their head more than usual
🐱 redness, swelling, or sensitivity when touched
🐱 a strange smell coming from their ears
🐱 discharge, which could look brown, yellow, or black
🐱 avoiding ear rubs or seeming uncomfortable

What causes ear infections?
🐶 moisture buildup from swimming or baths
🐶 allergies, which can make the ears inflamed and prone to infection
🐶 bacteria, yeast, or even ear mites
🐶 foreign objects like grass seeds stuck in the ear canal

One of the ways we get to the root of the problem is with an inhouse diagnostic test. This simple test allows us to identify what’s causing the issue, whether it’s bacteria, yeast, or something else, so we can treat it effectively.

💡We’re offering a FREE Skin or Ear inhouse diagnostic test with your consultation. Call us on 02 6555 2555 to book an appointment and be sure to mention this offer.

Healthy ears are a big part of keeping your pet comfortable and happy. If you’ve noticed any changes, we’d love to help.

Did you know your pet’s teeth need care too? 🦷

Dental health is just as important for pets as it is for us, but it’s something many pet owners overlook. Without proper care, plaque and tartar can build up, leading to gum disease, tooth loss, and even more serious health problems like heart or kidney disease.

Signs your pet might need a dental check-up ⬇️

◾️ Bad breath (it’s not just “doggy breath”!)
◾️ Yellow or brown tartar on their teeth
◾️ Red or swollen gums
◾️ Difficulty eating or chewing
◾️ Pawing at their mouth or drooling more than usual

Regular check-ups and cleanings can prevent painful infections and keep your pet healthy and happy. Just like with people, prevention is key!

💙 Book a check-up today, and if your cat or dog needs a dental procedure, you’ll save $70. Call us on 02 6555 2555 to schedule an appointment.

🎉For many of us, fireworks are a festive highlight. However, for our pets, these loud and unpredictable sounds can be overwhelming and frightening.

🐾Create a safe, cosy, quiet spot in your home where your pet can retreat if they feel anxious.
🐾Close windows, curtains, and doors to minimise the noise and flashing lights from fireworks.
🐾Provide plenty of exercise earlier in the day. Take your dog for a long walk or engage in active play sessions with your cat earlier in the day.
🐾Stay Calm and reassuring during fireworks.
🐾Distract with engaging toysor long-lasting treats during fireworks.
🐾Use Positive Reinforcement for calm behaviour. Reward your pet for staying calm during fireworks, with small treats, gentle praise, or petting to reinforce relaxed behaviours.
🐾Keep pets securely indoors and ensure their safety as fireworks can cause pets to bolt in fear.

With a bit of preparation and some simple strategies, you can help your pet stay calm and comfortable during fireworks season.

Update: we have found a home for the big black cat. Thanks to a those who called, left messages etc. So many people who care. Thank you to each of you for caring so much... Goodmorning everyone, unfortunately a beautiful black and white desexed male cat was abandoned at our front door this morning. He is loving and friendly, not microchipped but wearing a red collar with a bell on it. Sadly we will have to send him to the pound if his owner does not collect him today. Thankyou

🐾 Could Your Dog Be Suffering in Silence?

Arthritis affects 4 in 10 dogs, and our furry friends often hide the pain they’re feeling. From slowing down to subtle changes in their walk, arthritis symptoms can be easy to miss. 🐕

Common signs include:
🌟 Stiffness or reluctance to move
🌟 Changes in mobility, like avoiding stairs
🌟 Difficulty rising after rest

Don’t worry – there’s a lot we can do to help! A health check can identify arthritis early and allow us to create a personalised care plan. 🏡 At home, you can help by providing a comfy bed, shorter walks, and avoiding slippery floors.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, reach out. Let’s work together to keep your dog comfortable and happy! 💙
