Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is sometimes called “cat AIDS.” Many Tasmanian cat owners are unaware of how common this incurable disease is. A recent study has shown 17% of cats tested in Tasmania had the disease: 𝐅𝐈𝐕 𝐢𝐬 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐲.
Cats catch FIV most commonly through bites from other cats. Even cats that “never leave home” can be at risk if they occasionally escape, or if an infected stray enters their yard.
If your cat is untested or unprotected, please call us on

How many bladder stones did we remove today?🤯

🐾 Did you know dogs can get bladder stones? 🐾

These stones form in the bladder and can cause pain, straining to wee, blood in urine, or frequent accidents. Some stones can even block the urine flow, which is an emergency 🚨

If your pet shows any of these signs, a vet check is warranted. 🩺

🦷✨ Yesterday Dr Bess & Nurse Maddi had the pleasure of looking after Blaze, a beautiful 4-year-old greyhound with the sweetest soul!

Blaze was rescued by his wonderful owners when he was just 2 years old, and it’s clear he’s been showered with love ever since. 💕 His family is so dedicated to his dental health — regularly brushing his teeth and giving him dental sticks to keep that smile sparkling.

Even though Blaze's teeth are regulary looked after, he still had some build up that needed removing.

Today, Blaze came in for his routine scale and polish to remove tartar and plaque build-up. Regular dentals help to:
✅ Keep gums healthy
✅ Prevent bad breath
✅ Reduce the risk of infection
✅ Protect overall health

We’re happy to say Blaze’s pearly whites are looking amazing! 🐾💙

Did you know that by 3 years of age approximately 80% of dogs have dental disease? And 70% of cats have some form of dental disease by 3 years old? 🦷

The incidence of dental disease increases with age and is worse in smaller breed dogs.

There are plenty of options to help maintain dental hygiene for your pet, depending on their stage of disease. 🐾

The best option is to book a consult with one of our vets and we can tailor a plan specific for your dog’s or cat's dental requirements.

Call us on 6391 1737 between 8:30-5pm weekdays.

*Below is a scale & polish we did on a small breed dog last week 🐶
