Bulldogs, especially French Bulldogs, are prone to stenotic nares, a severe condition where narrowed or collapsed nostrils restrict airflow, making breathing difficult. This issue stems from their flat facial structure, which leads to malformed nasal passages and inward nostril collapse.

🐾Signs of Stenotic Nares:
▪ Loud or laboured breathing
▪ Sleep apnea or restless sleep
▪ Difficulty during play or exercise

🐾Treatment and Prevention:
Corrective surgery involves widening the nostrils by removing part of the outer fold, allowing easier airflow. This procedure is most effective when done early, often during spay or neuter surgeries.

If your bulldog shows signs of breathing difficulties, please get in touch. Early intervention can improve their quality of life and help them breathe easier.

📣 Important Information for Pet Parents: Microchip Updates! 🐾

You may have heard that the HomeSafeID microchip database is closing down, which may impact your ability to access or update your pet’s microchip details. It’s essential to take action now to ensure your fur-baby remains identifiable and safe.

Here’s what you can do:
🐾 Check Your Microchip Registration: Visit www.petaddress.com.au to find out where your pet’s microchip is registered.
🐾 Update Your Registration: If your pet is registered with HomeSafeID, consider switching registries to a licensed national registry, such as Central Animal Records, Australasian Animal Registry, Global Microchip Animal Registry or Petsafe.

Your prompt action is crucial to prevent any delays in reuniting with your pet if they become lost. Let’s work together to ensure all pets are safe and protected!

Summer can get scorching, and knowing when it's too hot to walk your dog is crucial for their safety. Generally, it’s best to avoid walking your dog during peak heat hours—between 10 AM and 4 PM.

🌞 How to Tell If It’s Too Hot:
▪ Pavement Test: Place your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.
▪ Signs of Overheating: Excessive panting, drooling, or sluggishness can indicate heat stress.

🐾 Breed-Specific Needs:
▪ Brachycephalic breeds (like Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boxers) are more susceptible to heatstroke due to their short snouts and should be kept cool at all costs.
▪ Long-haired breeds (like Huskies and Malamutes) also struggle in the heat and may need shorter walks or more rest in the shade.

Remember, early mornings and late evenings are the best times to get out for a walk in the summer. Stay safe and hydrated, and if you have any concerns about your dog's health in the heat, we’re here to help!

Hot and humid weather can make dogs more prone to developing hotspots!
Pyohex Medicated Shampoo is an aid in the treatment of superficial dermatitis associated with infections by Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in dogs🐶
REASONS FOR BACTERIAL SKIN INFECTIONS:
The majority of skin infection cases in dogs are due to underlying conditions which allow the low numbers of normal bacterial residents to overgrow and cause disease.
UNDERLYING CAUSES FOR BACTERIAL INFECTIONS:
🌼Allergies: pollen, grass, food, fleas
⚖️Hormonal problems (including Cushing’s disease and hypothyroidism)
🔬Parasitic infestations
In an active infection we recommend bathing twice a week with Pyohex Medicated Shampoo and once every 1-2 weeks for maintenance or as directed by your veterinarian. Pyohex Medicated Conditioner should be used after bathing to prolong the antibacterial action and moisturise the skin and coat.

🐾 LOOKING FOR HIS FUR-EVER HOME!! 💕

Meet Ricardo – the perfect blend of playful energy and laid-back charm! Whether he’s chasing after his favorite toy (which, to be fair, is every toy!!) or enjoying a well-earned nap in the shade, he knows how to make the most of his day.

A natural entertainer, Ricardo is more than happy to keep himself busy in the garden while you’re out, but don’t be surprised if he greets you with lot's of enthusiasm the moment you return—he loves people! Quick on the uptake (especially when treats are involved), he’s always eager to learn, play, and, of course, sneak in a cuddle or two.

Ricardo is approximately 4 months old; he is not desexed yet, but he has been microchipped, and just needs one final vaccination in a months time.

If you are interested in adopting Ricardo, please send your details through to the clinic at [email protected] and we will pass them along to his foster carer 🐕💕🐾

🌞 As temperatures rise, senior pets need extra attention. Here are some key tips to keep them safe and comfortable:

▪ Keep Them Hydrated: Always provide fresh, cool water. Try adding ice cubes or giving them pet-safe frozen treats.
▪ Time Outdoor Fun Wisely: Avoid peak heat hours. Early mornings and evenings are perfect for walks.
▪ Create a Cool Haven: Ensure your pet has a shaded spot or access to air conditioning when you're not home.
▪ Protect Their Paws: Test pavement with your hand—if it's too hot for you, it's too hot for them.
▪ Watch Their Health: Be alert for signs of overheating like heavy panting, drooling, or sluggishness.
▪ Never Leave Pets in the Car: A few minutes in a parked car can be dangerous for seniors.

As the temperature rises, grooming becomes even more important for your dog’s comfort and health.

Regular grooming helps keep your dog’s coat clean, cool, and free from pests like ticks and fleas. Here are a few tips to help your pup stay fresh all summer long:

✅ Brush Regularly – Brushing your dog’s coat removes loose fur, dirt, and tangles. It also helps prevent matting, which can trap heat and irritate the skin.
✅ Trim Excess Fur – Consider a light trim to keep your dog cooler, especially for long-haired breeds. But be careful not to shave down to the skin—your dog's fur also provides some protection from the sun.
✅ Check for Pests – Summer is prime time for fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. After outdoor play, check your dog for any pests and consider using preventive treatments.
✅ Bathtime – Keep your dog clean by giving them a bath with a gentle, pet-safe shampoo. Be sure to dry them thoroughly to avoid any dampness, which can lead to skin issues.
✅ Hydrate & Protect – Summer grooming isn’t just about the fur—don’t forget to keep your dog hydrated and ensure they have access to shade and cool areas to rest.

A fresh, well-groomed pup is a happy, comfortable pup!
