🌟 Patient of the Week! 🌟

This week’s special shout-out goes to Kellie the Kelpie—our calm and gentle superstar! 🐶
✨ Even when we had a little chat about her body condition score (let’s be honest, no lady loves that conversation), she took it all in stride.

Kellie had a fresh nail trim, a little TLC for her pearly whites 🦷, and, of course, enjoyed some delicious liver treats as a reward! 🦴🥰

Such a good girl, Kellie! Give her some love in the comments! 🐾

Sick of your pet’s bad breath? Wondering how their dental health is holding up?

Dental care is SO important! If left unchecked, poor dental health can lead to serious issues like heart, kidney, and liver problems. Did you know that most dry pet foods aren’t designed to clean your pet’s teeth—unless it's a specially formulated dental diet?

🔍 We’re seeing up to 80% of dogs over 3 years old and 70% of cats with some form of dental disease. But don’t panic! There are ways to prevent it!

✔️ Brush your pet's teeth daily (we know, it’s tough to fit in, but it helps!).
✔️ Try a nutritionally balanced raw diet (make sure to consult a pet nutritionist!).
✔️ Add Simply Seaweed to your pet’s food for a daily boost of dental care.

Remember: Prevention is key!

But if tartar, cavities, or gum inflammation are already present, a professional dental cleaning can do wonders, followed by a solid prevention plan.

Let's keep those smiles healthy, book your 15 minute dental check with Bec for $20 in the month of March!

Supporting Your Pet’s Skin Health 🐾

While helping pet owners in our community yesterday, I noticed many puppies with skin irritations. Google can offer some information, but it often leaves out key details.

Veterinarians can perform skin scrapings and tape preps to identify bacteria and yeast on your pet’s skin, providing quick and accurate results for proper treatment. Some skin conditions can be tricky—many are even linked to the food your pet eats!

Supporting gut health during these times is just as important as the treatment itself. A balanced diet and the right veterinary care can make all the difference in your pet’s well-being. 🐶💙

If your dog has itchy skin and you're unsure whether a vet visit is needed, feel free to book a 30-minute Health and Wellbeing Consultation with me. Together, we can take the first step toward relief and better health for your pet! 🐶💙

This week I have been over the bass in Victoria for my other work, supporting those working in the Animal Care industry.

I will be back next week, happy to start booking some home for Wednesday visits for nail clips, wellbeing checks and end of life coaching sessions.

Please text if you would like to book 🐾

While visiting Victoria last month, I noticed my mum and dad’s newly adopted dog, Pippa, had a squinty eye. They had taken her to the vet after her adoption, and nothing was noted or during her adoption—but something didn’t seem quite right.

After a quick check, it was clear that Pippa had entropion—a condition where excess skin on the eyelid causes the eyelashes to roll inward, irritating the eye. She went back to the vet, had it confirmed, and surgery was booked.

I’m happy to say Pippa is now healing well! 🐾✨

This is a great reminder to always trust your instincts when it comes to your pet’s health. Even if they’ve had a vet check, ask for a recheck or second opinion, things can sometimes be missed or develop over time.

Responsible pet support!

I've been lucky to work closely with a local breeder on "Puppy Notes" (specific to their breed)—a fantastic resource designed to support new puppy owners on their journey! 💕

Bringing home a new puppy is exciting but can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s why we're making sure you have the guidance and knowledge you need to navigate puppy care, health, and wellbeing with confidence. 🐾

You're not in this alone—we’re here to help every step of the way!

🚨 IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT MICROCHIPS 🚨

We've heard that Home Safe ID, a microchipping company, has closed down or is in the process of doing so. PetAddress is no longer dealing with them, and attempts to contact Home Safe ID have been unsuccessful.

⚠️ If your pets are registered with Home Safe ID, you need to transfer their microchip details to another registry. Without this, your details won't be accessible when scanned if your pets go missing.

What to Do Now:
1️⃣ Check where your pet's chip details are held:
Visit www.petaddress.com.au.

2️⃣ Choose a new registry (fees of $12 may apply):

Central Animal Records — | 📞 03 9706 3187
Australasian Animal Registry | 📞 02 9704 1450
PetSafe | 📞 02 8850 6800
Global Micro Animal Registry | 📞 02 8338 9063

Stay proactive to protect your furry companions!

Patients of the Week! 🐾

Meet Cliff, Vincent, Stella, and Frankie — four very excitable (and absolutely adorable) Dachshunds who loved their health and wellbeing checkups in the comfort of home. 🏠✨

During their visit, we conducted important weight checks and assessed their body condition scores. This is essential for Dachshunds, as maintaining a healthy weight is key to protecting their long backs and reducing the risk of spinal issues like Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD).

✨ Tips for Dachshund Care:

🐾 Keep them lean to avoid stress on their spine.
🐾 Support their backs when lifting.
🐾 Regular gentle exercise is key to keeping them strong and healthy.

A nail and dental check was also completed during their checks, lots of pats, and positive reinforcement to make wellness care a positive experience!
