We are super excited to launch our new veterinary practice software tomorrow!

This exciting change is BIG NEWS for Port Vets, having used the old software for over 10 years.

Are we excited?! Absolutely !!

Are we a bit scared?! Yeah.. maybe a little bit ..

But the short term pain of change is worth the long term gain of improved work flows and communication, both with staff and clients.

So please, be patient with our staff as we get used to working in this new program.

Did you know that spotting fleas on your cat or dog is just the tip of the iceberg?

To be exact, only about 5% of fleas are visible to the human eye! That means a whopping 95% of the flea problem could be lurking in your home!

Fleas lay eggs on your pet, which then drop off into your home. This
means that eggs, pupae and larvae could exist in your carpets, timber
floors and even within your bedding. Ewww!!!

To ensure your pet is protected for the entire flea life cycle, speak to our
team about long-lasting protection with BRAVECTO Quantum.

Research shows that our furry friends can help:

⭐ Alleviate Stress: Spending time with animals can lower cortisol levels and promote relaxation.

⭐ Fight Depression: The unconditional love of pets can brighten our darkest days and enhance our mood.

⭐ Address Social Isolation and Loneliness: Animals offer companionship that helps us feel connected and valued.

⭐ Improve Physical Fitness: Daily walks or playtime with pets encourage an active lifestyle.

⭐ Facilitate Healing and Resiliency: Animals provide comfort and support, helping us recover from emotional and physical challenges.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the joy and comfort our animal companions bring into our lives! 🐶🐱💖

Some pets love the hustle and bustle of Halloween, while others will find trick-or-treaters continually knocking on the door or ringing the bell to be stressful.

Read on for our tips and tricks on taking the terror out of your pet's Halloween!

* Before the trick-or-treating starts, put your pets in a quiet room where they will be safe from all the Halloween activity.

* If your pet is likely to try to run out the front door and is comfortable in a crate, consider putting them in the crate with a treat-filled toy and some soft music playing in the background. A spritz of pheromone spray like Adaptil or Feliway may help keep your pet calm.

* Most importantly, keep Halloween treats safely stashed in a high cabinet away from snooping pets. Many foods, such as chocolate, gum and xylitol (a sweetener used in many foods) are hazardous to pets.

Happy Halloween everyone!!
