This gigantic fluff ball with the cutest puppy dog eyes is Max Jr. 🥰 Max Jr is a Maremma, the newest addition to the TMV family with big paws to fill. Max Jr is now fully up to date with vaccinations and we’re so excited to see how big he will grow. 🤗

With Perth’s beautiful weather and spring in full bloom it’s tempting to take your puppies wherever you go, contact us today to get them fully vaccinated. 🌸

🙌🏻 So proud of WA! The community spirit and support for government workers, volunteers and neighbours has been incredible.

📣 Wooroloo Downgraded! 📣

The mammoth blaze we have been fighting to contain has finally been downgraded to a Bushfire Advice!

This has been an incredibly complex incident, with over 800 emergency services personnel and firefighters from several different services, working together each day to protect lives.

It has been most challenging for those who have lost homes to this devastating fire. Their loss is felt strongly by the entire emergency services family, and we stand by you during this difficult time.

We think this photo sums up our collective relief – thank you sincerely for your ongoing support and patience. There is still much to be done before the area is completely safe, and we will continue to work around the clock to keep you informed and safe.

Check the latest info at www.emergency.wa.gov.au.

👏🏻 A huge shout out to our vet, Dr Hendrik Swanepoel, for his hard work and dedication this week 👏🏻

⚠️ PERTH DOG OWNERS ⚠️

There have been increased reports of dogs with respiratory disease in the Perth metropolitan area. Respiratory disease in dogs is a very common disease which is reported by owners worldwide.

Owners of dogs that visit areas frequented by large numbers of dogs, e.g. boarding kennels, doggy daycare, dog playgrounds, dog parks and the local dog beach, should be aware of the signs to look out for.

Pathogens causing respiratory disease are usually transmitted via direct contact (nose to nose and nose to butt) and indirect contact (sharing water bowls).

It is a common disease amongst social dogs, but it is important to be reminded of the symptoms to lookout for in your furry friends:

👉🏻 Being quieter than usual

👉🏻 Loss of appetite

👉🏻 Having trouble breathing

👉🏻 Coughing

👉🏻 Runny nose

To minimise the risk of your dog contracting respiratory disease, please make sure your fur buddy is up to date with their vaccinations, in particular kennel cough vaccine. The vaccine does not prevent your dog from contracting a respiratory disease but it will reduce the severity of the infection. 🐾

If you are at all concerned or you need to book a vaccination, please visit www.themobilevets.com.au to book online or contact The Mobile Veterinarians on 0451 715 747.

Note, that these are also common symptoms for heart disease and we still recommend contacting the vet for diagnosis and treatment. 🐶

⚠️Fireworks Warning For Pets⚠️

Please keep your furkids safe tonight. Fireworks start at 8pm. Whenever there are fireworks, so many scared animals go missing. Here are some tips we hope are helpful.

Keep your pets safe, secure and cool on these hot summer days 💦 ☀️

You guessed it - another hot one! Dogs need protection on the back of utes, too. In this heat, they should be riding up front with you in the a/c. At the very least, you must provide mats or padding to protect them from the hot ute tray (like this bit of carpet off-cut), shade, and plenty of fresh clean water. Please keep your pets safe in this heat!

🐈 What do you do when your cat is dehydrated? 🐈

That depends on whether the cat has suddenly become ill or has a long term problem.

If the cat is generally sick, especially dehydrated, then seek veterinary assistance. The vet may run blood tests to identify how dehydrated your cat is and the underlying cause. The vet will also be able to administer intravenous fluids to perk him/her up.

If your cat has a long term problem, such as kidney disease you will need to encourage your cat to drink water more frequently.

Some handy tips to get your cat to drink more water can be:

💧Flavour drinking water with fish or chicken
💧Place bowls of water around the house and remember to refill them
💧Use larger surface water bowls with a larger diameter (dog drinking bowls are ideal) as cats prefer to drink without their whiskers touching the rim.
💧Switch to canned food and mixing in a little water.
💧Some kidney diseased cats have long term dehydration. In this case your vet may teach you how to safely inject fluid under the skin to boost hydration.

If your cat refuses to drink then give them a helping paw. Gently syringe water into their mouth, but take care to let her swallow after every half ml or so.

🚫Never sq**rt water in forcibly as this could enter the windpipe and could cause serious pneumonia.

If you are worried about your cat’s hydration, then trust your instincts and contact The Mobile Veterinarians on 0451715747 for advice over the phone or message us directly on Facebook.

Have you ever had a cat suffer from dehydration or who would hardly drink? What steps did you take to increase your cat’s water intake? Please share in the comments.

With warmer weather approaching we are seeing more cases of Parvovirus. Please vaccinate your dogs against Parvo as it is highly contagious and fatal. Treatment is intensive and costly. This is a nasty virus which infects dogs, with puppies at high risk. Prevention is better than cure!
