Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that affects dogs. It causes a range of symptoms that can be mild to severe that can be potentially fatal.

The bacteria spreads through urine and infects wildlife, farm animals and rodents. It is then spread through their urine.

Causes:
• Drinking water contaminated with infected urine
• Contact with infected wildlife and farm animals
• Contact with other dogs at dogs parks or boarding kennels

Now that we know Leptospirosis is in our environment, it’s important to get your dog vaccinated to protect them.

🩷Pet Of The Week🩷

This sweet little darling is Betibu, one of our frequent flyers at both Jervis Bay and North Nowra hospitals. All of the staff adore her , so it was only fitting to share her quirkiness and adorable photos with the world!

Nicknames, and how I got my name: Beti, Bubu, Bu. My name is a combination of Mum’s late brother’s three pets: Betty, Titta, Busta. Pretty unique, just like me!

How I found my home: I was rescued from the shelter as my Mum wanted to adopt a a cat in memory of her darling brother- but really I was the one who chose her, by screaming and throwing myself into her arms the moment the crate door opened, climbing all over her. Until that moment, she wasn’t particularly into white cats, and despite there being many other sweet little kittens to choose from, my display of violent affection and love was enough to easily win her over. What can I say, I like to make my intentions clear, and I always get my way!!

Personality described in three words: Outgoing, Affectionate, Clowny

Favourite activities: Cudding with Mum and my canine siblings, taking ownership of the pillow at nighttime, voraciously biting fingers in the morning, nose kisses and, of course the usuals- eating and sleeping.

Best animal friends: My three canine siblings and my feline sister

Things I do not enjoy: I am pretty chill; being deaf and confident, not much bothers me. However, I don’t like it when I wake up and find that nobody is around me, so I do the only logical thing- let out the most visceral, loud, drama-queen meows you can imagine. When my mum waves at me from downstairs, that usually calms me down. Hopefully the neighbours are okay with the spontaneous screaming!

Favourite sleeping position: Anywhere I can stretch out one front leg to hook my claw onto the furniture, so it hangs there.

Favourite food: I have a broad, cultured palate, and don’t even mind the odd vegetable here and there.. and would devour many fruits (if allowed).

Things I enjoy but am not allowed to do: Quenching my thirst from the toilet bowl, exploring inside kitchen cupboards (my favourites are ones that contain jars and glasses), knocking down treat jars on the kitchen bench, eating cut flowers- I am quite partial to roses.

Something I am always complimented about: My cute face and my outgoing and quirky personality.

Our most interesting adoption kitten yet…

Meet Holden!

Ever have one of those long tiring days and your left feeling like you need a change of scenery, maybe, a coastal vibe… well, Holden took the advantage of a new scenery when he saw an open car door. He tirelessly travelled 2.5 hours before he announced his presence to his “uber” drivers, who then contacted our Jervis Bay Clinic to help find his furever home.

Can you guess the brand of car he arrived? (Hint: it’s how he got his name)

He is currently living in our adoption centre at our North Nowra practice, when his not not sleeping, playing or purring, his completing his admin tasks…

Holden is..
🐾 desexed
🐾 microchipped
🐾 well socialised
🐾 a purr machine
🐾 prevention medication up to date

If Holden sounds like he’d be the perfect fit for you or your family.. pop into North Nowra vets or call us on 02 4423 1688 for more questions.

Reminder: Be prepared for the fireworks and parties 💫

New Year's Eve can be a fun and exciting time for people, but it can be stressful for pets due to the loud noises from fireworks and parties. Here are some tips to help keep your furry friends safe and calm during the celebrations:

⭐️ Create a Safe Space: Set up a quiet, comfortable area where your pet can retreat if they feel scared. This could be a room with soft bedding, their favourite toys, and some soothing music to mask the sounds from outside.

⭐️ Keep Them Indoors: If possible, keep your pets inside during the festivities to avoid them running off or getting into dangerous situations due to the noise and chaos.

⭐️ Provide Comfort: Some pets find comfort in being near their owners, so if your pet is nervous, sit with them in their safe space. You could also use calming products like pheromone diffusers (e.g., Adaptil for dogs) or calming music designed for pets.

⭐️ Distract Them: Offer treats, chews, or toys that will keep them engaged and distracted from the noise. Puzzle feeders or interactive toys are great for keeping their attention.

⭐️ Exercise Earlier in the Day: Give your pet plenty of exercise earlier in the day to help them burn off excess energy, which can make them less likely to be anxious at night.

⭐️ Watch the Doors: With guests coming and going, be sure to keep an eye on any open doors so your pets don’t escape in the excitement.

By being proactive and setting up a calm environment, you'll help ensure your pet stays safe and comfortable as you ring in the new year!

💚 Pet Of The Week 💚

This handsome young man is Diesel, who is a 4 year old kelpie cross, adopted by Nurse Kate. Diesel was originally just being fostered temporarily whilst trying to find the right home, but as so often happens with beautiful boys like him, he had already snuck his way into Kate's heart and found his forever family, so decided to stay put!

Nicknames: Deez, D-Man

Personality described in three (or five) words:quirky, smart, athletic, loveable & loyal

Favourite Activities: I am an active boy living my best life, and I love swimming, beach trips, chasing balls and growing emotional attachments to giant sticks (that Mum sadly won't let me bring home to keep).

Best animal friends: Sootie the kelpie, Zim the cattle dog (my brother), Elsie the golden retriever and Basil the moodle.

Things I do not enjoy: Needles!! 😞

Favourite sleeping position: I make a very neat pretzel shape when I nap.

Favourite food: I love getting to 'clean up' the leftover treats from when Mum runs puppy school! I am a very good helper 🙂

Things I enjoy doing that I am not allowed to: I am all about looking out for my own comfort ( ) so sometimes at night I like to sneak off my bed and sleep on the couch..

Something I am always complimented about: My commitment to chasing the ball and/or stick of the day. My working dog ancestors would be proud of my razor-sharp focus!

Best physical feature: obviously everything. I am an all-round handsome boy 🙂

Biggest achievement: Convincing my mum to adopt me (not that this was a difficult task!)

If I could be any other animal, I'd be: A human!

Something quirky about me: I will always find the biggest stick to carry on a walk. If I could carry a tree, I probably would.. I am very dedicated!

Medical procedure I have been brave about: I had to have one of my tiny front incisor teeth extracted, because I fractured it whilst in hot pursuit of a ball! It was a wild moment- I caught the ball and have no regrets.. Ball is life!!

A quote to define me: 'Chasing dreams, one ball at a time."

🎀 Pet Of The Week 🎀

Everyone say hello to our pet of the week, Martini!
Also known as 'Tini', "Tini- Wini' and 'Chunk', this handsome little man is 2 years old and was adopted from the Animal Welfare League as a kitten, and is now living his best life with Nurse Dominique and her family.

Here are some fun facts Martini wanted to share with everyone:

How I got my name: When I was a kitten my chest looked like a martini glass

Personality described in three words: Cuddly, Sweet, Crazy!

Favourite activities: Sleeping in ridiculously adorable positions, Playing with my sister, Fudge, and I am also partial to a good midnight zoomie sesh, much to everyone's delight!

Best animal friend: my kitty sister, Fudge

Things I do not enjoy: I am shy around people I don't know ( ), loud noises spook me, but I especially do not like waiting for dinner time.

Favourite sleeping position: Well crazy sleeping positions are my specialty, as you will see in my photos! My favourite would have to be lying on my back with all four of my adorable paws in the air.

Favourite position: Roasted chicen, and CHEESE!!!

Things I enjoy doing that I am not allowed to do: I am quite clever and have learned how to open all the kitchen and laundry cupboards, as part of my official duties as Household Snack Inspector. For some reason the humans try to prevent me from doing this, when really, they should be offering praise for my commitment to the snack-searchiing!

Something I am always complimented about: My cute little nose and my soft little toebeans

Biggest Achievements: As said before, I am extremely smart, and I have proudly learned how to train the humans to reward me when I sit, stand and shake paws.

Best Physical Feature: (besides everything), my big beautiful eyes

If I could be any other type of animal, I would be a: Red panda

Something quirky about me: I am a water cat! I love playing with water. I spend a lot of time sitting in sinks, and I always like to soak my cute little paws in my water bowl. It's just another way to keep hydrated, right?

A quote to define me: 'Life is hard, but can be even harder when you don't have snacks.'

Favourite Activities: I love some solid house zoomies- I am very fast! I also enjoy a good nap on a nice warm lap, or snuggled in bed with my small humans. My favourite activity at the moment though, is lying in wait so I can escape into The Outside and get up to all sorts of adventures!

Things I do not enjoy: nail trims, aka amputation of my glorious tree-scaling murder claws!

Something I am always complimented about: my beautiful mottled tabby coat pattern

Something quirky about me: I am an easy going, confident fella who likes to make friends with dogs

Major medical procedures: Nothing so far!

A quote to describe me:
' Not all who wander are lost (I've just escaped again).'

Our Nurse Nicole showing us a quick preview of Narla’s dental procedure.

Narla needed to have the plaque removed from her teeth to reduce the risk of requiring extractions in the future, root exposure and improve her gingivitis (reddened & inflamed gums).

Imagine having all that plaque on your teeth! Dental disease can be incredibly painful for our pets, and can make daily habits like eating really difficult.

Making sure they have regular dental check ups is important. Our FREE nurse dental checks are a great way to better understand how your pets dental health is going and learn more about preventative options that can improve their dental hygiene and reduce the risk of dental disease in the future.

Everybody meet Sunny, our very sweet Pet of the Week:
Sunny is a rottweiler crossed with a dogue de bordeaux, with a whole lot of sunshine mixed into her sunny personality too!

Nicknames: Sunny Babe, Baby Girl

How I found my home: My mum (Nurse Kelly) treated my brother at North Nowra one day when he had a tummy ache... and fell in love with my family's temperaments, so she couldn't resist welcoming me into her family.

Favourite food: Anything I can sneak off a plate on the dinner table...forbidden table snacks are always an enjoyable mystery

Things I enjoy doing that I am not allowed to do: For some reason nobody likes it when I decide to occasionally do some garden landscaping. I'm not sure why- I think deep holes and chewed up stick fragments are a delightful garden feature!

Something I am always complimented on: My wiggly butt! I don't just wag my tail, my whole body joins in too!

Best physical feature: my giant smile

Something cool about me: I am a Christmas Eve baby!! Not much longer until my first birthday

A quote to define me: ' Hi, my name is Sunny- I like snacks and long walks on the beach'.
