Chickens have some pretty clever ways of beating the winter chill, but they may still need your help. Like all birds, chickens use their feathers for insulation by fluffing them up and trapping the air. But for the times when nature is hard to predict, good pet care involves providing appropriate refuge.
❄️Insulation❄️
In cold parts of Australia, you could insulate your chicken coop with tree branches, cardboard, or straw. Care should be taken if hay or straw is used for insulation, as these can become infested with mold and vermin and carry chicken parasites. Also, remember to keep the insulation tidy. Keeping the coop clean and dry is essential as most bacteria, fungi, and parasites thrive in warm, moist environments.
☀️Warmer climates☀️
If you live in one of the warmer Australian states then you probably won’t need to install insulation in your chicken coop at all. Open, ventilated coops are more important. Learn more tips on coop setup on our website, or alternatively, visit your local Greencross Vets for expert advice.
Every Day is "Take Your Dog to Work Day"! 🐕

It's a win-win situation for both humans and their loyal furry partners.

Winter is here! We feel it's going to be a super cold one, and chances are if you are feeling cold your furry friend is too.
Here are some ways to keep your pet warm in the Winter:
💚Keep your pet inside
💚Provide a warm, soft, elevated bed
💚Warm coats are great for pets that are senior, small or have thin coats
💚Move your guinea pigs hutch inside the house or garage
💚Provide extra straw and hay so small pets can burrow and hide
💚Keep all bedding dry
💚Wrap a loose blanket over your pet, but don’t tuck them in. They still need to be able to move away from it if they overheat
💚Walk your furry friend during the day when it’s not as cold
Yesterday Greencross Vets Caulfield South welcomed a visit from our Chief Chief Operating Officer Michelle Dries (Kellaway) and Victorian General Manager Trent Morpeth. They enjoyed a tour of the clinic and a quick chat with their Vet Director Dr. Kathy Lee and Practice Manager Sarah Grinblat.

🚨 Attention Pet Owners! 🚨
Emergency and Specialty Vets are sounding the alarm about the rise in paralysis ticks affecting our pets. 🐾 With the unseasonal warmth lingering into autumn and rain, the conditions are ripe for these dangerous pests.
At Animal Referral Hospital (ARH) Gosford, several beloved pets have tragically lost their lives due to severe tick paralysis. Dr. Natashia Evans, an Emergency and Critical Care Specialist at ARH Gosford, emphasises the importance of year-round parasite prevention, even as we transition into winter.
Skipping prevention can lead to devastating consequences.
Even a delay of just one or two days can put your pet at risk. Set reminders, and if in doubt, administer prevention a couple of days early.
Pet owners are urged to perform daily tick checks, as early detection can save lives.
For emergency assistance, contact your nearest animal hospital: https://www.emergencyvet.com.au/contact-us.html

Postcards from our incredible teams celebrating World Vet Day in their clinics!
💚💚💚💚
We remember the past and honor the present. We stand together in solidarity with our veterans and their families, as we pay tribute to their bravery, commitment, and sacrifice. Lest we forget. 💚🌺
This Anzac Day, your regular veterinarian may be closed. If your pet needs urgent care, our partner, the Animal Referral & Emergency Network (AREN), is here to help. They have emergency vets available day and night, 365 days a year, including all public holidays. https://www.emergencyvet.com.au/
💚 As winter sets in and the temperature drops, vets often see an increase in arthritis cases in both young and old animals. Sadly, the majority of these pets go undiagnosed and untreated as their owners don’t understand the reality of this condition. However, pets experience real pain with arthritis, comparable to the pain experienced by humans with this disease.
💚 Early detection and proactive treatment are essential to ensure your pet’s comfort and quality of life as they age.
💚 If you would like to know more, contact your local Greencross Vets for more information.
Happy Monday! A visit from these cheeky pups to brighten up our day! 🐾💚

See you all back to business as usual on Tuesday ❤️
Cat or Bat? 😍😍
Mr Kevin is just the cutest!
Oh my 😍Mr Jack😍
is life! Do you love walks? Because I do! Hi my name’s Jack, my friends call me Maynard (cute nickname, right?), and it looks like we may be meant for each other!
I like long walks on the beach (or anywhere really) and all things that involve sniffing the great outdoors! I’m pretty good around other dogs on walks and usually either watch them peacefully from a distance or do my best impression of pretending they don’t exist. I’m even known to go back to my fam if they drop my leash, but of course I’m a greyhound so don’t do that too often 😉
Oh and don’t worry about traffic, the hustle and bustle doesn’t bother me at all (though I may cause some jams because everyone will be slowing down to check me out).
Do you think you’re ready to give me a chance? If you have:
- Large open plan home/living areas
- Adults only, no children
- No other pets (greyhounds or large breed dogs considered if home has the ability to separate when not supervised)
- Time and patience for training (experience with large breed dogs preferred)
- Lots of love to give yours truly
.. Then I’m your guy! Just do these two things:
1. Have a look at my profile for more information (aren’t I a peach?)
2. Reach out to [email protected]
Jack is located in Melbourne, Victoria and not available for interstate placement.
