Springtime means grass seed season, and for something so tiny, they can cause a lot of big problems for your pet! The issues they can cause range from minor discomfort right through to potentially life-threatening conditions. If you cannot remove a grass seed from your petβs coat (with your fingers, tweezers or scissors), give us a call to organise removal.
It's important to continue exercising your pet in Winter, as well as keeping them mentally stimulated. Being cooped up inside can encourage destructive and negative behaviours. Walks, runs, catching up with friends and play sessions in the park are perfect ways to keep your pet active. Here are a few tips for you. π

Sometimes when a pet is in pain, you may see subtle changes in their behaviour. Any changes in behaviour can be a sign of pain or other health issues and we recommend taking your furry family to see one of our veterinary team.
For our older pets, it is important that they are kept warm and comfortable during the cooler months. If you notice them struggling to move, it could be age-related diseases such as arthritis. If you are wanting more information on ways to keep your pet warm or have a senior pet that you would like to discuss, contact us today.
There is plenty of evidence to support that cuddling your cat is beneficial for your health. Make sure you hug your feline today. If your cat isn't into hugs - perhaps a high 5 or a pat! #HugYourCatDay π»

Keep me safe for the rest of summer by following these tips! Did any of these surprise you?
Did you know our pets can suffer from heatstroke too? If you see them panting or drooling excessively, becoming restless or unstable on their feet, or the gums changing to a bluish-purple or bright red colour, it's important to call us immediately and cool them down on the way to see us. The quickest way to cool them down is by using a fan or placing a damp towel over me. In any situation where you are concerned, please call us.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We cannot wait to see you and any new additions in clinic soon.
