🐾 Keep Your Pets Safe During Vet Visits 🐾

Our clinic is on a busy main road, and vet visits can be stressful for pets. To ensure your pet arrives safely and stays secure while at the clinic, please follow these guidelines:

🐶 Dogs:
• Always use a secure lead and a properly fitted collar or harness.
• Ensure the fit is snug—two fingers should fit comfortably underneath to prevent slipping.
• Avoid using retractable leads or double leads for two dogs, as they can be difficult to control.
• Keep your dog on a lead at all times in reception, including when weighing them on the scales.
• Loose collars or harnesses can lead to accidents; we’ve had incidents where dogs have slipped out and run off.

🐱 Cats:
• Always transport your cat in a sturdy, appropriately sized carrier.
• Carriers with both top and front openings are ideal for easier handling.
• Keep your cat in its carrier while waiting in reception to ensure their safety and reduce stress.

As we have both cats and dogs with many different temperaments entering the clinic, it’s best to make sure they are secure while waiting for your appointment.

🎆🐾 A Pet-Safe New Year: Tips to Keep Your Furry Friends Happy & Healthy! 🐾🎆

As we ring in the New Year, let’s ensure our pets stay safe and stress-free during the celebrations. Here’s your guide to starting 2025 on the right paw:

Common Hazards to Avoid
🎉 Fireworks & Loud Noises
Fireworks can be terrifying for pets. Provide a quiet, secure space where they can feel safe, such as a walk-in wardrobe, bathroom, or the laundry. You can also consider calming aids such as Feliway, Adaptil, ThunderShirts, or Zylkene. These alternatives to medication aren’t always as effective but can help take the edge off. If your pet’s anxiety is more severe, consider medication prescribed by your vet to provide additional support.
🍷 Alcohol
Even small amounts can be harmful to pets, so keep drinks out of reach.
🎈 Decorations & Party Supplies
Items like confetti, streamers and balloons can pose choking hazards or cause digestive blockages if swallowed.

Comfort & Safety Tips
🛏️ Create a Safe Zone
Set up a cosy, quiet area with their favourite bed, toys and some soothing background noise to help mask loud celebrations. A walk-in wardrobe, bathroom or laundry can make a great, secure space for pets to retreat to during the festivities.
🐾 Stick to Routines
Maintain your pet’s regular feeding, walking and play schedules to keep them calm and comfortable.
🏠 Secure Your Property
Ensure doors, gates and fences are secure in case your pet tries to bolt due to loud noises or excitement.

Proper Identification
🪪 Update Tags & Microchips
Make sure your pet is wearing a collar or harness with an ID tag. If they do get out, this ensures you can be contacted straight away. If they do get out, be sure to contact the microchip registration company to mark them as missing or stolen.

Plan Ahead for Emergencies
Keep the contact details of your nearest emergency vet handy in case of unexpected situations.

With these simple precautions, and by considering calming products or medication prescribed by your vet if needed, you and your pets can enjoy a safe, stress-free and joyful start to the New Year! 🎉🐾

🐶🐾 Meet Whiskey 🐾🐶

Whiskey came in recently for a check-up with Dr. Murray, and it’s safe to say she’s been hitting the gym hard! 💪 This absolute tank is rocking her bikini body, and the other dogs can’t help but be jealous when she struts by, showing off what they don’t have.

Looking good, Whiskey! Keep up the hard work! 🐶

18/12/2024

🐶🐾 Meet Memphis 🐾🐶

Memphis came in last week for desexing with Dr. Michelle. Although he hasn’t had the greatest start to life and was a little wary of people at first, he soon warmed up to Nurse Andrea and showed his true cuddly personality. 🥰

It’s heartwarming to know that Memphis has now found a loving home where he’ll get all the love and care he deserves. He was such a brave boy, and we know he’s got a bright future ahead!

☀️🐾 Keep Your Pets Safe in the Heat! 🐾☀️

With temperatures reaching up to 31°C today and 41°C tomorrow, it’s vital to keep your pets cool and safe. Here’s how you can help your furry friends beat the heat:

💧 Stay Cool:
• Keep pets indoors with the air conditioner or a fan on.
• Provide cool, damp towels for them to lie on.
• Offer plenty of fresh, cold water.
• Avoid walking during the hottest part of the day — stick to early mornings or late evenings.
• Make DIY ice block treats with their favourite goodies, fruits, veggies, or bone broth.
• Don’t forget to leave water out for our friends outside in need — birds, wildlife, and stray animals will appreciate it! 🦜🌳

🐾 Check the Pavement:
Use the 5-Second Rule before walking your dog:
1. Place the back of your hand on the ground.
2. If you can’t hold it there for five seconds, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws.
Walking on hot surfaces can burn your pet’s paw pads.

☀️ Signs of Heatstroke:
• Excessive panting
• Drooling
• Red gums
• Vomiting or diarrhoea
• Weakness or collapse

If you suspect heatstroke, seek emergency vet care immediately. Closest options are:
• AVC in Kensington
• ARH in Essendon Fields

Stay cool and keep your pets safe! 🐶🐱🐰

🐶🐾 Meet Aj 🐾🐶

Aj, the beautiful 3-year-old Kelpie who came in recently for a check-up with Dr. Michelle to discuss his skin allergies. Of course, we couldn’t resist giving him a few treats, but first, he had to show off his special skills! He impressed us all with his perfect “shake” and “speak.” What a clever boy! 🐾

Summer is here, and with it comes an increase in allergies for pets. Just like humans, cats and dogs can suffer when they come into contact with allergens like pollen and grasses. These allergens are everywhere during summer — in the air, on the ground, and clinging to your pet’s fur, leading to pollen and dust build-up.

At our clinic, we often see pets with allergy symptoms such as:
• Excessive scratching, chewing, or licking, especially of their paws, ears, and tummy
• Red, inflamed, or irritated skin
• Watery eyes, sneezing, or a runny nose
• Ear infections or frequent head shaking
• Reverse sneezing, which can sound like snorting or choking

To help manage your pet’s allergies during summer:
• Wipe their paws and coat after outdoor activities to remove allergens
• Bathe them with vet-approved shampoos to wash away pollen and dust from their skin
• Keep bedding and living areas clean to reduce allergen build-up

If your pet is showing signs of allergies, we recommend booking an appointment with us. Our vets can provide tailored advice and treatments.

🐶🐾 Nine Times the Labrador Love! 🐾🐶

It was absolute chaos (in the best way!) when nine adorable Labrador puppies visited us this week for their very first check-up, vaccinations, and microchipping with Dr. Michelle. 👩🏻‍⚕️💉

From the not-so-joyous moment of everyone deciding to go to the toilet one after another, to the totally cute wrestling matches between siblings, it was a whirlwind of paws, wagging tails, and puppy mischief!

Of course, Nurse Machelle didn’t miss out on the action—she soaked up as many puppy cuddles as she could.

🐶🐾 Meet Maisie 🐾🐶

Maisie, the gorgeous Weimaraner, came in recently for her second puppy vaccination with Dr. Genevieve. She was such a brave girl and handled her visit like a pro! 🐶💉
