Typically after a heatwave comes the storm—don't forget your pets' safety! 🌩️🐾
As the weather shifts, storms can be scary for our furry friends. Here are a few tips to keep them safe and calm:

1. Create a safe space – Set up a quiet, cozy area where your pet can retreat if they’re feeling anxious.

2. Close windows & curtains – Reducing noise and bright flashes can help calm nerves.

3. ID Tags – Make sure your pet’s collar and microchip are up-to-date, just in case they get spooked and run off.

4. Stay inside – Keep your pets indoors during the storm to avoid dangerous winds and flooding.

5. Comfort them – Stay close and provide reassurance if they’re feeling nervous. Your calm presence can help ease their anxiety.

Stay safe, in this storm season—and remember, we’re here for your pets if you need us! 🐕🌧️🐱

Keeping Your Pets Cool During the Extreme Heat! 🌞🥵

As temperatures soar, it’s important to remember that our furry friends can struggle in the heat just like we do. Here are some quick tips to help keep your pets cool and comfortable during the hot weather.

🐾Provide Fresh Water: Always ensure your pet has access to cool, clean water throughout the day.

🐾Limit Outdoor Time: Avoid walks during peak heat hours (typically 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Early morning or evening walks are best.

🐾Shade is Key: Make sure your pet has access to shaded areas if they’re outdoors, or keep them indoors with the AC running.

🐾Cooling Products: Consider cooling mats, pet-safe sprays, or even a damp towel for your pet to lie on.

🐾Groom Regularly: Regular brushing helps prevent mats in the coat, which can trap heat, but be careful not to shave your pet too closely – their fur helps regulate body temperature.

🐾Watch for Heat Stress: Signs like excessive panting, drooling, or lethargy can indicate heatstroke, which is a serious medical emergency. If you see these signs, get your pet to a cool place and contact us immediately.

Stay cool and keep your pets comfortable! If you have any questions or concerns about your pet's health in the heat, don’t hesitate to call us on 5546 6756 📞🐾❤️

Today is very bitter-sweet day. It is our lovely nurse Amie's last day with us 😭

While we are so happy for her as she heads off on wonderful new adventures and has such a bright and happy future ahead... we are so sad we don't get to see her everyday anymore!

Amie has been with us for 3 years and has brought so much light, warmth and laughter into the clinic during that time. It has been an honour and pleasure watching her become the knowledgeable and talented vet nurse she is today.

Amie, your kindness, your giggle, your passion for life and for your patients, your genuine care, your commitment and hard work, your sense of humour, and your amazing sense of teamwork and comradary will be sorely missed and never forgotten ❤

If you have a nice memory, thanks, or we'll wishes for Amie, please leave them in the comments 😊

Common BBQ dangers to beware of with your pets:

ONION: onion is toxic to dogs and cats and should not be fed at all

CORN COBS: Corn cobs are a choking hazard and an obstruction hazard

COOKED BONES: Cooked bones are brittle and can splinter in your pets mouth or intestines. They can cause obstructions or perforations to the intestines

FATTY LEFTOVERS: Fatty leftovers can lead to pancreatitis. Even if your pet is giving you those puppy dogs eyes; resist... its not worth the risk or the expensive animal emergency visit!

TOP TIP: Chat to family, friends and children before your BBQ to ensure they know not to give your pet any food without checking with you first. Tell them about the above dangers and also advise if your pet has any other dietary requirements or allergies
