🐾 As the temperature drops, it's crucial to keep our beloved geriatric pets in mind! 🌬️ Cold weather can be especially tough on older furry friends, affecting their joints and overall well-being. A routine check up with the vet can ensure your pet is ready to tackle the chillier days ahead. Remember, a little extra care goes a long way in keeping our older pets happy and healthy! ❤️🐾

🐾 Caring for Greyhound Paws: A Day with Brando 🐾

At Belgrave Vet Clinic, Dr. Kylie and I (Dr. Willem) had a delightful visit from pet owner, Sue, and Brando, a charming greyhound with unique podiatry needs. Greyhounds, like Brando, require special foot care due to their racing lineage.

Corns, a common issue, can limit their zest for running, making attentive care a must. Regular nail trims are essential too, as long nails can affect their elegant stride. With their slender build, even minor injuries need prompt attention.

Today reminded us of the importance of specialized care for breeds like Brando's so that we can help provide a quality of life that lets them run and play as they love to.

Healthy paws mean happy, active greyhounds. Here's to many more tail-wagging adventures for Brando and friends! 🐕💨

🎆🎇New Year's Resolution 2024🎇🎆

Are we up to the challenge? As pet owners, we hold our best mate's health in our hands. Dogs and cats grow older much faster than their human counterparts. It is up to us to ensure we give them the best life we can give. Here are a few resolutions you could consider:

1. Exercise & Enrichment
For most of us, working from home is becoming a thing of the past, so making sure our pets still get the attention they deserve should be top priority. Ensure our pets are getting enough physical activity and mental stimulation throughout the day. (For example: walks for dogs and a safe and enclosed play area for cats). This will lead to a happier and healthier pet, and our best friends will thank us.

2. Nutrition
To ensure our pets are getting adequate nutrients, check whether the food we are feeding is a complete and balanced diet for their size, age and activity levels. Make sure to use clean bowls daily and have fresh water out at all times.

3. Weight Loss
If your pet is overweight, there are things you can do to help. Consider putting your pet on a balanced weightloss diet and engage in regular exercise. Sometimes, weight gain occurs where there is an underlying health issue, and this is where you may need to bring your pet to see a veterinarian.

4. Grooming
Take the time to schedule regular grooming sessions with either a professional groomer, or we could learn this skill ourselves. Brushing our own pet's fur, removing mats, checking ears, and keeping nails trimmed will keep our pets more comfortable and happy in the long run.

5. Regular Check-ups with the Vet
Our pets can't tell us directly when they are feeling unwell. Pet owners will also sometimes miss the signs. Pets age much faster than us and illness can catch us as pet owners unawares. It is important to make a yearly vet visit part of our pet care routine. A vet can provide your pet with important vaccinations, advise on dental care and parasite prevention, and help monitor your pet's health and look out for potential health conditions that pet owners might not notice.

Happy New Year to all, we hope 2024 will bring you good health and prosperity. Our clinic will reopen this Wednesday morning at 9am.

From the team at Belgrave Veterinary Clinic

🎇🍾It's New Year's Eve!🥂🎆

As people start to head out, a last minute reminder for pet owners to err on the side of caution when it comes to the possibility of fireworks. If you know your pet will be affected, plan ahead, ensure your windows and doors are closed and where possible have somebody home for them.

Wishing all our clients and their pets a safe and happy New Years Eve. See you next year.

Yes, we are open today 🎄🙂
Alfie the heeler says hi and enjoy the festive season.
