See you there! 👋
Peak Vets are offering ✨FREE✨ heartworm testing for adult dogs! ❤️🪱💉🫶
Heartworm disease is responsible for infecting thousands of dogs every year. This disease is potentially fatal yet completely preventable!😭 And prevention is far better that treatment.
Heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes, which carry the heartworm larvae (called microfilariae) from an infected animal host to a new animal host.
Once the larvae arrive in a new host, they grow into adult worms in several months and live in the blood vessels that serve the heart and lungs and eventually make their way in to the heart itself. 😢
Treatment is quite expensive and has it's own risks, so prevention, prevention, prevention!!!
Call us today 5467 2277 to book an appointment or discuss options for your dog.☺️❤️
Yesterday was International Dog Day, how did you spoil your pooch?!💛🐶🐾
➡️Did you give them their flea & tick prevention?
➡️Did they get a dental chew?
➡️Did they get out and about for some exercise?
Whatever you did, we are certain your dog would have loved it. 🥰
Thank you to all the wonderful doggies out there for all that you do, our lives wouldn't be the same without you🫶🫶🫶
✨Bravecto QUANTUM has arrived✨
What is Bravecto Quantum you ask? Only the COOLEST thing to happen this year (in our opinion)😉
➡️It is INJECTABLE Flea & Tick Prevention for dogs, that lasts 12 MONTHS.
Read that again. 🤯
That's right, one injection = 12 months protection. INCREDIBLE. 🤩🐶
Here are a few details:
🐾Quantum can be administered from 6 months of age. For large breed doggies we recommend waiting until at least 12 months old to ensure adequate dosing for their weight
🐾It is exclusive to vet clinics, so we need to see your pet to administer the injection (Yes we offer this in our mobile van)💙
🐾It is safe to start Quantum if your pet is already on a different preventative product (Bravecto chew/Nexgard Spectra/ Simparica Trio)
🐾Not recommended for use in breeding, pregnant and lactating dogs, as the reproductive safety has not been evaluated (Other Bravecto products, chews and spot on's are safe)
✅No more forgetting to dose your pet every month
✅No more forcing your pet to eat a chew if they don't like it
✅Knowing your pet is covered for 12 months against nasty parasites
We are very excited about this product (in case you couldn't tell😂) not only for our own dogs, but all our wonderful patients! Let's win against paralysis ticks this season, choose Quantum💪
Please call us if you would like to book an appointment or if you have any further questions. 5467 2277☎️

Here come the foals🤩🐴 Here's how you can ensure they are getting the best start to life! ⬇️
Newborn foals enter the world without antibody protection. Foals are entirely dependent on antibodies absorbed following ingestion of mare’s colostrum in the first few hours of life for protection against diseases caused by viruses or bacteria.
After drinking the colostrum, the newborn foal’s gut absorb the antibodies and transfer them into the foal’s blood. Absorption of antibodies is greatest during the first 6 to 8 hours after birth and stops by 24 to 36 hours of age. Failure of passive transfer (FPT) of antibodies occurs in 10 -20% of newborn foals. A foal greater than 24 hours of age is considered to have failure of passive transfer if circulating antibody (also called IgG) levels are less than 800 mg/dl.
The most common causes of FPT are poor quality colostrum and premature lactation.
Mares that drip or run milk for several hours prior to giving birth are losing colostrum that is vital to the survival of the foal.
Other causes of inadequate transfer of antibodies include:
🐴Failure of colostrum production
🐴Inability or lack of desire by the foal to nurse
🐴Prematurity
🐴Foal rejection
🐴Failure to absorb antibodies that are ingested
Early testing for antibody levels in a neonatal foal can identify potential cases of FPT and allow for early intervention and medical management.
It is recommended that a blood sample be collected from a newborn foal approximately 12 hours after birth to evaluate circulating IgG levels prior to ‘closure’ of the gastrointestinal tract to antibody absorption. If IgG levels are above 800 mg/dl at 12 hours of age it indicates that adequate passive transfer of immunoglobulins occurred, and no additional testing or intervention is necessary under most management conditions.
Testing a foal at 24 hours of age or more will determine the final extent of passive antibody absorption. It is critical to understand that no significant amount of antibodies is absorbed if oral supplementation is provided after 24 hours of age.
Early testing of a newborn foal is crucial and allows for timely treatment with lifesaving “Equiplas” Plasma if required. ❤️
Call PEAK VETS on 5467 2277 and chat to us about IgG testing to make sure your foal is getting the best start to life.

Happy Wednesday everyone!
There can be a number of reasons why your dog is itchy.
🍗Food sensitivities
🐛 Bacterial or Fungal (yeast) skin infections
🌾Contact allergies
🪱Parasites
🐶Breed predispositions...
The list goes on!
Once a vet has assessed your pet, they will make a plan to either rule out, or treat the most common causes of itch that may be affecting your pet.
For some dogs, it may be quite simple, and some basic treatments or changes may be successful in reducing or eliminating itch.
For others, this process may take some time.
Once all options have been exhausted, then a diagnosis of "Atopy" or in more familiar term 'Itchy skin disease', is made.
Unfortunately, Atopy can only be managed, never really cured. However, there are numerous ways we can help alleviate symptoms and keep our doggos comfortable.
We have access to multiple injections and medications that have turned around many of our patients (and owners) lives!
Call us today on 5467 2277 if your dog has any of the symptoms below. 🧡
Happy Birthday to all the horses out there🥳🐴 We hope you get all the treats today!
Hi🐾🐾
I was found in the Lower Mt Walker area, if you recognise me please call the clinic on 5467 2277.🩷
💊Medication Refills💊
When requesting medication refills for your pet, we recommend calling at least 3-5 days in advance (sometimes more). This ensures we have the medication in stock and it allows us time to prepare it for collection. 😁
Popping in to the clinic without pre ordering medication may result in:
⏰Longer wait time: Our vets may be with other patients therefore you may have to wait for a period of time for the medication
⬇️Low/No Stock: The particular medication/s may not be available and we may have to order them in
🩺Consult required: By law, your pet must have a consultation every 6 months if they are on prescription medication. This allows the vet to monitor their response to the medication and also make any necessary changes in terms of dosage / type of medication
😊Thanks for your understanding.
⚠️PLEASE make sure your pets are up to date with their TICK PREVENTION.⚠️
We cannot stress this enough!!! Ticks are not afraid of the cold, we have seen so many tick patients over the past month😭😢
They are out in FULL FORCE and we've sadly lost patients to these nasty critters. 💔
Pop in to our clinics today to stock up on prevention or call us on 5467 2277 to discuss the different options.
We now have cat vaccines back in stock!💉
If your cat missed a vaccination during the stock shortage, or if they're due now, please give us a call on 5467 2277 to get them up to date. 🐱🐈🫶

Have you noticed your cat struggling with the drop in temperature lately?
Are they slower to get moving in the mornings?
Do they seem quieter or not themselves?
Are they struggling to jump, climbs stairs and play?
If you have noticed these signs, keep reading! 🤓🐈
During the colder months, signs of arthritis become more prominent as the cooler temperatures can aggravate sore joints and therefore make our pets feel more stiff and painful. Arthritis isn’t always linked to old age, while it is more common in older or overweight pets, it can affect cats of any age, breed, and size.
Fortunately, there are many ways in which we can support our cats who are suffering from these aches and pains, not only in winter, but all year round. ❤️🩹
Solensia is an injectable solution that is administered monthly by a veterinarian to assist in controlling osteoarthritis pain. Solensia can also be used in conjunction with other pain management products such as 4Cyte and anti-inflammatory medications. 💉💊🩺
If you feel that your cat would benefit from some type of pain management, please call us today on 5467 2277 to book an appointment. ☎️
**This is a service we can offer with our mobile van! We know how stressful it can be to bring your cat into the clinic. Book us to come to you, just specify when calling that you'd like a home appointment.** 🚑🐱🐾
Have you heard of 4cyte?
4CYTE™ is a scientifically proven product that assists in the prevention and treatment of joint health issues arising from osteoarthritis, acute joint injury, and general wear and tear in dogs, cats and horses. 🐶🐱🐴
4CYTE is given daily with a meal and is highly palatable.
When you purchase 4CYTE from one of our clinics, you are covered by the 4CYTE Guarantee. If you don't see the expected results – or your pet won't eat 4CYTE due to taste – you'll receive your money back. This offer is only available through our clinics 🤠
4CYTE is available in both gel and granule form.
Call us today on 5467 2277 or pop in to one of our clinics if you have any questions.🐾
⚠️Paralysis Ticks are out and about!!!⚠️

Sweet little Beau had a PARALYSIS TICK!🥺 Beau was playing with his litter mates when his owner noticed he was a little bit "wobbly" (as seen in the video below). Beau was brought down to the clinic and we found what we suspected... a Paralysis Tick. 😰 Beau was immediately hospitalised. He received life-saving tick antiserum and IV fluid therapy. Luckily, after 2 nights in hospital, Beau was able to return home for nursing care from his family. ❤️🩹He has since been back for a recheck and is doing well, we are so pleased, he's a beautiful boy.🥰🐾 This could have been a VERY different outcome. Please ensure your pet's are up to date with tick prevention. Reminder: ➡️It can take up to 3 days for symptoms to appear after finding a tick on your pet ➡️Tick searches should be performed DAILY, even if your pet is on prevention ➡️Call us immediately if you find a tick on your pet. 5467 2277 ☎️

Not only is Millie extremely cute, she is also a talented girl! Our nurses were so impressed by her tricks we had to share it with you guys! 🤩🐾🥰
PARALYSIS TICKS are out and about!😫 Please make sure your pets are up to date with prevention. Pop in to one of our clinics or call us on 5467 2277 to discuss what products we have available. ☺️ The tick in the video below was removed from a patient just yesterday, it's massive! 😧
Waffles came to visit us in Kalbar yesterday for an ultrasound to confirm pregnancy. She was very well behaved for her scan with Dr Amy and as you can see in the video below, she is indeed pregnant- exciting news!🐶🐾🐾 We will see Waffles at our Peak Crossing clinic soon for an X-ray to determine how many puppies she is expecting. 🐶🐶🐶 Booking your dog in for pre-whelp radiographs is an important step in ensuring you are organised for her whelping. Put your mind at ease by knowing when she is finished, so you’re not left wondering “Is she done? Are there more puppies in there? “Is she too exhausted to continue?”. The Team at PEAK VETS are here to help you and your pets every step of the way, that’s why we provide an after-hours emergency service. We often perform emergency c-sections at our clinics with our experienced Vets and qualified nursing staff. We also offer in house progesterone testing, fresh AI procedures including semen collection and evaluation and vaginal cytology. 🐶🐾❤️ You can reach us 54672277 to discuss all things reproduction!
