Hello!! Another Aussie sunny day, as we navigate over the hump day of Wednesday and roll blissfully into Thursday which is even closer to the weekend.

As we smash our way towards the holiday period, I thought some proof should be provided that humans have always been bonkers and dressed up their pet cats 😆😆😆

These are the glorious finds off the internet which prove our kitties have tolerated us much over the decades 😆😆😆
(Credit Internet Image Archives)

Thursday we have Kadina with two vets and a team of nurses, plus Dr Michael and Vet Nurse Tarryne in the car undertaking another full day of mobile vet visits to homes in Port Pirie.

Friday there are three vets in Kadina (Dr Nat, Dr Ubaid and Dr Michael), plus Dr Sean in Minlaton clinic for your pets.

Saturday Dr Sean and the nurses have some free appointment slots if you need help for your pet.

To book your pet to see us - ring 8821 3350 from 8.30am.

May your Thursday and Friday run smoothly - and don’t forget to pull out the kitty dresses, hats and suits for the weekend parties …….. 🎩 👗

VET TALK TUESDAY 🐶 🐱

Fleas are the most common parasite affecting cats and dogs.

Not only do they cause intense itching and scratching but they can also cause flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). FAD is caused by a hypersensitivity to the saliva of the flea bite. Causing red, irritated skin and hair loss.

Did you know that 95% of the flea population is in the pet’s environment? With only 5% seen on the pet (adult fleas).

The lifecycle of the flea includes the egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages.
Eggs are laid on the pet which fall off the coat into the environment. The larvae then hatch from the eggs, forming a cocoon for pupation. These pupae can lay dormant in the environment for many months. Fleas then form from these pupae to start the cycle again.

To control and prevent fleas treat all pets in the household with a monthly flea control product.
If the flea burden is large the home and backyard may need to be treated with a flea spray product and or by a pest control service.

To control fleas wash all pet’s bedding, vacuum the carpets and upholstery (Lounge and dining chairs). Be sure to empty the vacuum and clean the filters, or discard the vacuum bag to prevent fleas from hatching inside the vacuum.

Please speak to our clinic regarding the best flea prevention for your pet.

What IS IT with 12 days of Christmas and all the bloody birds 😆😆😆😆😆

🎄🎄🎄

The Twelve Days of Christmas is an English Christmas carol first published in 1780 in a children’s book Mirth Without Mischief, which also contains the delightfully named ‘Play of the Gaping-wide-mouthed-wadling Frog’, amongst other poems and stories. The verses were originally presented witho...

Staff pet’s Sunday 🥰

Everyone meet Hudson (aka Huddy).

Huddy shares his home with Dr Nat, almost a “James Bond” lying around, expecting smoked salmon and martini’s to be delivered 🍸

Hudson is seriously the most laid back Burmese, finding the softest blankets, chairs, beds, lounges available.

Wanting a lap at every opportunity, worst habit is dribbling when happy and purring.

Living up to the Burmese physical description (a brick wrapped in silk), this solid quiet boy is NOT at all athletic, and can hardly climb or jump (thus staying out of trouble unlike his sister!)

With the gentlest of nature, and cuddly personality, he’s the perfect winter companion in front of the TV or fire, and snuggling in bed.

Favourite toy is “Rattus Rattus” and we do go a bit silly when it goes missing for a short period of time 🐀

How cute is Hudson 😻😻

Ahhhhh the weekend again - and yep - leading into the week before Christmas. 🎄

Trying to find a car park at Woollies is a bit like hitting the jackpot right now.

Driving up the Main Street of Moonta is a little like dodgem cars.

Tourists have started booking all the good lunch spots down Yorke Peninsula at our favourite pubs.

Approaching 41C tomorrow - the heat is on - literally and figuratively.

People are busy. Rushed. Flustered.
Fuses are short.
Everyone has things they need “done” before Christmas.

I get it.
But please. Please. Do NOT take your frustrations out on retail workers, or any business staff members.

Everyone is doing their best at a higher workload and busier capacity due to demand at this time of year.

In the clinic we are busy enough with our local clients and pets. And this time of year extra pressure comes with summer and Christmas risks - tourists travelling with pets who cut their feet at the beach. Heat stress. Cats swallowing tinsel. Snake bites. Grass seeds. Pancreatitis from fatty Xmas ham.

Our staff will always try to see you in the most professional, friendly, quickest way.
Same as retail workers. Shop assistants. Post office workers. Pub serving staff.

Please take a breath.
Allow a few more minutes.
Be kind if you see urgent or emergency situations in clinic or in shops whilst doing your Christmas shopping.

Most of all - stay safe this week.
We all want you here for your family and friends come Christmas Day.

Have a lovely week, we are open if you need us through this week and Saturday - 8821 3350.

MONKEY DAY🐵

Every year on December 14th National Monkey Day celebrates the unique characteristics of simians. The day also focuses on other non-human primates such as apes, tarsiers, and lemurs.

Many Different Species

Monkeys are primates that usually live in trees and are active during the day. There are about 260 different species of monkeys around the world. Scientists classify monkeys into two different categories - old world monkeys found in Asia and Africa and new world monkeys found in the Americas.

Believed to be highly intelligent animals, monkeys can vary in size. The smallest monkey, the pygmy marmoset is about 5 inches (13 cm) tall, while the largest, the mandrill can grow up to 3 feet (1 m) in height.
