🐾 Stress-free Vet visits for cats! 🐾

We know vet visits can be a little overwhelming for our feline friends, so we’ve made sure to create a calm and cat-friendly environment for them.
Here’s how you can help make their visit as stress-free as possible:

🐱 All cats must be in a carrier – this keeps them safe and helps them feel more secure
🐱 We have a dedicated cat consultation room - no dogs allowed!
🐱 We have a separate waiting area for cats, away from any curious canines
🐱 We use feline-friendly, fear-free techniques – including calming pheromones in our cat areas to help reduce stress

If your kitty gets extra nervous, let us know – we’re always happy to offer tips to make their visit smoother!
Thank you for helping us keep vet visits calm and comfortable for all our feline patients. 🐾💜

🐾 How to make bringing your dog to the vet a paws-itive experience! 🐾

We love welcoming you and your furry friends to Belmont Veterinary Centre! To help keep visits stress-free for everyone, here are a few friendly reminders:

🐶 All dogs must be on a leash – this helps keep them and other pets safe
🐾 Be mindful of other dogs – some might be feeling unwell or a little anxious, so giving them space helps everyone stay comfortable
🦴 Keep your dog close & under control – even the friendliest looking pups can be unpredictable, and we want all our patients to feel safe and relaxed
💙 We’re a Fear-Free clinic – our waiting area and consult rooms have calming pheromones to help your dog feel more at ease during their visit

Thank you for helping us create a welcoming and stress-free space for all pets!
If your pup needs extra support, let our team know – we’re here 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 03 5241 2388 to schedule an appointment.

*Terms and conditions apply. For a limited time only.
