Cottesloe Vet WELCOME TO COTTESLOE VET

An ASAV accredited Hospital of Excellence Clinics are audited for accreditation on a one to three yearly basis.

At Cottesloe Vet we are very proud to have maintained our ASAV Accredited Veterinary Hospital status since 1981. We are committed to providing the highest quality of compassionate, personalised veterinary care and customer service. As a result, we have high quality facilities and equipment, and our staff regularly attend continuing education seminars to keep ourselves up to date with the latest in

best practice veterinary care. The ASAV (Australian Small Animal Veterinarians) is an official body whose aim is to promote high standards of veterinary care for Australian pet owners. Accreditation is awarded only to those showing the highest standards of veterinary facilities and care. These standards must be maintained year-in, year-out. There are over 170 veterinary premises throughout WA, only fourteen are currently ASAV Accredited. Our commitment to providing the highest standard of veterinary care is further substantiated by the facts that all of our veterinarians have been long term members of the Australian Veterinary Association so that we can remain in touch with the latest information and trends in the industry, and be part of a national body advocating for animal and veterinary welfare. Additionally, Dr David Neck is a member of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists by examination. This has required many hours of self study as well as written and oral examination assessed by specialists in veterinary science. At Cottesloe Vet, we are committed to donating our time to help look after and promote pet healthcare on a larger scale. We regularly donate our services to the VisAbility and Guide Dogs WA, WA Ferrets and Ferreting Society (WAFFS), USAR K9 WA, the Feline Control Council of Western Australia Inc. and the Royal Agricultural Society of WA, as well as many other community organisations. We are also committed to sharing our knowledge and skills, and as well as mentoring new graduate veterinarians, we regularly have veterinary students and veterinary nursing students undertaking work experience with us at the clinic. For further information on our veterinary hospital, feel free to contact us on (08) 9384 1877, or stop in for a chat!

To some people, this interaction may appear sweet and loving!
Unfortunately the affection is only flowing one way - this dog is showing signs of being acutely uncomfortable and asking clearly for space. It is very common for dogs to dislike "kisses" - having their head close to a person's face can be very stressful.
The tense expression, head turning and lip- licking signals are very clear if you are paying attention. Unfortunately if these signals are repeatedly ignored, the dog may stop giving them, and feel it has no choice but to escalate to a growl or even a bite. The human may feel that this has come "out of the blue", when in fact the dog has tried its absolute best to avoid conflict - the human just wasn't listening.
Sadly the body language of small dogs is often ignored or not taken seriously, leaving them with few options but to show aggression, in order for them to have control and feel safe.
Always take the time to read a dog's body language! Make sure they're comfortable and consenting before you interact closely like this. And if they're asking for space, please listen! β™‘

Teaching kids to be respectful of a dog's space is so important.... especially at this busy time of year!

This one is for the kidsβœ….
It's also for parents and teachers who may want to open the conversation about keeping safe around dogs.

Two goals here, to keep both dogs and children safe. They're not separate goals, they work together. We all need to remember that young children need to be supervised around dogs and dogs need supervision around young children.
This is especially important at this time of year when we are visiting family and friends who may have their own dogs that may not be used to small children.
This is a great concept to talk through before you visit.

For children, I really like the bubble message as it's memorable and involves the concept of "space means safety".
This uses simple language, bright visuals and clear messages designed intentionally for young children.

I hope you all like it and critique is always welcome, as are suggestions on the next child friendly dog topic you would like to see covered.
