Even though you may not realise it, you’ve likely administered NSAIDs your pet before! 💊

NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are medications that help to relieve pain, inflammation and fever. Common examples in pets include carprofen and meloxicam. These drugs may be prescribed for short periods (e.g. for pain relief after desexing) or may be used longer-term (e.g. for arthritis management).

While NSAIDs can be very useful, just like any drug they can have associated side effects. To reduce the risk of significant side effects in your pet, ensure you only administer them as per the prescribed label instructions.

🐶 For more information on safe pain relief in pets, consult our analgesia-aware team.

Does your dog suffer from travel sickness? 🚗 Don’t worry, there’s lots we can offer to prevent those mournful car dribbles and vomits!

Depending on your pet’s general health and how often they’ll be going in the car, we can prescribe one of several possible anti-nausea medications, such as maropitant or metoclopramide.

We can also provide advice on training your dog to feel comfortable in the car again, as they’ve likely developed some negative associations (car = vomit!)

For more advice on managing symptoms of tummy upset in pets, consult our knowledgeable vets.

Did you know that many “All-in-one” dog and cat parasite control products don’t fully protect against all the parasites your pet could be exposed to? 🪱

While they usually provide effective skin parasite and heartworm prevention, many of these monthly products don’t actually treat all the common types of intestinal worm (roundworm, hookworm, whipworm and flea tapeworm.)

Additionally, depending on your pet’s lifestyle, they may require additional protection against other tougher species of tapeworm, such as zipper worm and hydatids.

For personalised advice on the right “creepy-crawlies” treatment for your pet, consult our parasite-proficient vets! 💡

Have you got a pet-sitter, friend or family member booked to take care of your dog or cat these holidays? 🐾

Don’t forget to give them a thorough information handover about your pet, including details such as:
✅ Any dietary restrictions
✅ Any known long-term health issues (e.g. arthritis, predisposition to ear problems etc)
✅ When they last received flea/tick/worming prevention, and when they’re next due
✅ Our details (in case of any illness or injuries), and a plan for emergency treatment and payments
✅ If your pet has any behavioural quirks, e.g. storm phobia 🌩️

With the right information, your pet and their carer will be set up for a win, and you’ll be set for a more relaxing holiday!

Kidney disease is common in older pets but often goes unnoticed until advanced stages. By the time symptoms appear, such as increased drinking and urinating, weight loss and lethargy, significant kidney damage has already occurred 🐾.

Regular blood tests can detect kidney problems early when treatment is most effective. Early intervention can slow progression and maintain quality of life for years longer ❤️.

👉 Contact us today to arrange a kidney health check.

What do we mean when we say we would like to place your animal on intravenous fluids for their procedure? It means we place a catheter into their vein (on their forearm) and provide fluid therapy in the same osmolality as their blood. This is especially important if the procedure is expected to have a degree of blood loss (for example when you remove an organ such as the uterus you are also removing the blood within it) but it is also helpful to assist with improving blood pressure and supporting the liver and kidneys to remove the anaesthetic gases from the animal's system so they wake brighter and recover better.

Annual health checks are your pet's best defence against illness 🐕🐈. During these visits, we examine your pet thoroughly, discuss any concerns, and often detect problems before symptoms are noticed.

Early intervention means better outcomes and lower costs. We can also administer other preventative treatments such as vaccinations, dental checks and parasite prevention during these visits 💉.

📞 Book your pet’s annual check-up with our team today.

Snake bite season has started! Poor Zali had a run-in with a danger noodle / a nope rope / the hazard spaghetti (aka a snake). After a stay in hospital, she has now gone home to her family. We urge everyone to be vigilant and contact us immediately if you suspect your pet may have been bitten.

Pre-anaesthetic blood tests help ensure your dog's safety during procedures. These tests check organ function, blood clotting, and detect hidden conditions that could complicate anaesthesia 💉.

While healthy young dogs may not always require them, older pets or those with health concerns definitely benefit from pre-GA tests. We'll recommend pre-GA bloods based on your dog's age, health status, and procedure complexity 🐾.

📅 Keep your pet safe - book a consultation with us today.

This entire young female cat appears to be approximately a year old. She is very friendly and affectionate. She was found around the Montebello area. No microchip was detected so if you believe she is your cat photo evidence may be required.

Please contact the clinic on 08 8725 5855 during business hours if you believe she belongs to you or you may know who she belongs to.

Thank you
