Over the years at vet-n-pet we have had a few wild visitors. Birds are pretty common, unfortunately a few snakes have slithered through but still the weirdest one was when some lost goats turned up to say hello. Lucky we love visitors.

🎾 Flyball 🎾
Dog flyball is a competitive canine sport that involves a relay race between two teams of four dogs each. The primary objective of flyball is for the dogs to jump over a series of hurdles, trigger a spring-loaded box to release a tennis ball, and then carry the ball back over the hurdles to their handler as quickly as possible. The next dog on the team then repeats the process, creating a relay race scenario.
Flyball is a high-energy, fast-paced sport that requires agility, speed, focus, and a strong desire to retrieve the ball. Any dog with the right temperament and enthusiasm can potentially enjoy flyball.
Flyball is not only a fun and exciting activity for dogs and their owners, but it also promotes exercise, mental stimulation, and bonding between the canine and human participants. It has gained popularity as a dog sport and is often seen at dog shows, exhibitions, and competitions.

Weekend Goals!
Weekend is here, time to kick your heels up!
Hairballs are a common problem in cats and there are a few products that might be able to help your cat pass them. I suggest trying Laxapet Gel which are both laxative gels/pastes that the cat ingests and helps them to pass hairballs out in the faeces.
There are also specific cat foods available which are designed to help cats that suffer from hairballs. Some of these can be seen on our website here.
For further information on hairballs please read our article Hairballs in the vet-n-pet DIRECT Help Centre here >> https://help.vetnpetdirect.com.au

Does your dog display any Obsessive Compulsive Behaviours?
Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD) in dog's, also known as Canine Compulsive Disorder, is when a typically normal behaviour becomes excessive, extreme or repetitive. The dog is compelled to excessively repeat a behaviour through an irresistible urge. The behaviour continues although there is seemingly no positive benefit or outcome. These behaviours can interfere with the dog's ability to function normally. It can be very distressing for the dog and for humans to witness.
Find out more about OCD In Dogs in our full article in the vetnpet DIRECT Help Centre here >> https://help.vetnpetdirect.com.au/kb/obsessive-compulsive-disorder-ocd-in-dogs/
Who's ready for the weekend? 🙋♀️
Horses look so sweet when they lie down and curl up for a sleep, but seeing a horse lie down in the paddock can make an owner panic, are they sick or just sleeping? It is not often that you see a horse lying down to sleep, they more commonly stand to sleep.
Horses, like other large mammals including cattle, giraffes and elephants, can sleep standing up. They can do this through a mechanism known as the “Stay Apparatus”. This is where ligaments, tendons, muscles and bones lock into place allowing them to rest on three legs without collapsing. When sleeping standing up horses are really only dozing or sleeping lightly which allows them to respond quickly and move if there is a threat or danger. Horses generally rest standing up in short bursts for a total of 5-7 hours a day.
Although they catch most of their zzz’s while standing up, horses do still need to lie down for some proper sleep. They will lie down for a total of 1-3 hours per day, generally in shorter 15-30 minute bursts, in order to get important REM Sleep.
Horses do not lie down for extended periods of time for two reasons; it makes them vulnerable to predators especially wild dogs and because of their size and weight it can compromise their body circulation if they are lying down for extended periods. For a horse to lie down they need to feel safe and secure in their surroundings. If they are really stressed or feel threatened they won’t lie down for that much needed REM sleep which will have a negative impact on their overall health.
