Just a quick post on Paralysis Ticks & Snakes

Did you know;
Ticks are out all year round, however they become more active during the warmer, humid months.

Whilst fleas, Brown dog Ticks, etc aren't venomous, Paralysis Ticks are extremely venomous!

They cause paralysis and death!

If your pet has no protection, they will 100% need an anti venom and there is no guarantee that this will be enough to save your pet, even if your pet is using constant prevention, there is still no guarantee! Anti venom is in very short supply through most vets in NSW.

I can NOT express this enough, tick PREVENTION is the difference between life or death. Please use a preventative.

Oral preventatives are best as they get into the blood flow the fastest. They are given like a treat, and they can swim, bath, etc immediately after. Effective hours after taking.

*Nexgard spectra is my go to. Used it for over 10yrs. I use it on my chihuahua x he's 4kg. Never a problem with it. He has had one tick, but luckily no side effects at all.

Spot ons are ok, but take 24-48hrs to take effect and your pet must stay dry during this time.

Collars- very ineffective and really only protect the neck/ area where the collar sits.

Prevention is always better than treatment.

You should routinely treat your pets for Ticks, fleas, worms &/ heartworm atleast once a month! If your a day late, it still matters, again, it's the difference between life and death.

Please check your pets thoroughly 2-3 times daily, especially around the anus/bits, ear canals, between paw pads and nails, lips & gums, under the tongue, eyebrows, groin- everywhere.

Ticks removers/twisters are available at pet stores and vets. If you find a tick and aren't comfortable removing it, please contact your vet immediately or me to remove it asap.

Snakes are also out and about in full force!

Most Snakes are highly venomous, should you see your pet near one, recall / redirect and bring them inside asap, if you suspect your pet has been bitten, even if your not sure they were bit or not, please rush them to the nearest veterinary clinic for anti venom.

Stay safe my little darlings πŸ™ I love you all so much!

All my love
Aunty Stace🀎

Did you know bunnies can suffer Dental disease & sometimes need them 'burred' down, or even surgery to try and help correct the problem by removing the effected teeth.
In this case, I visit 2-3 weekly to burr them, so far 'Buns' going well. It is painless to bur the teeth and doesn't require sedation. It takes about 5mins or less to burr them.

Behind the Bite Welcome to Behind the Bite! Behind the Bite has been operating since May 2019. Animals, large and small, skinny or tall, have been my greatest passion since I can remember, to be working with animals all day has always been my dream. I am Certified in Animal Psychology, grooming, cert IV in vet nursing, cert II in animal studies, cert III companion animals. I have also completed certificates in business/retail. This year I am undertaking a Nutrition & Breeding course, along with a certificate in animal Reiki & Massage. I am extremely lucky to have a shop front at the stunning Port Marina, 18 Park St, Port Macquarie. I differ to other groomers in the area, using a Holistic approach, providing positive reinforcement, meditation and lots of love, in a calming, gentle environment. I establish a connection with each pet prior to attempting any service, until they feel more comfortable and relaxed. I allow short play/cuddle/toilet breaks between services. Please see services on offer below, for further enquiries, please visit the store front or contact me, via phone, email or face book. Holistic Grooming Holistic grooming is an all-inclusive, premium grooming service. Any special needs, treatments, or time your pet requires is done as part of the package. All products I use have been vetted for efficacy and environmental friendliness! Holistic services offer a gentle calming grooming environment, I play meditation music throughout and use positive reinforcement to create a trusting environment. We work at the pet’s pace, holding paws and giving kisses creating a sense of love and security. My priority is ALWAYS the pets mental and physical wellbeing, I read body language to gauge when they’ve had enough or are becoming more relaxed and tolerant of the service throughout. *I do not cage animals between treatments* Therapy grooming Therapy grooming is suited to those who are fearful or aggressive during any grooming service. These sessions are designed to build trust and boost confidence, both, for the pet and owner. these sessions are VERY calming, we take things slowly and make a connection and prove I'm trustworthy before beginning the process with a holistic bath to start with. (over time we will build up to be able to do a full groom in one session). In some cases, I may have the owner stay with their pet during this experience. I also suggest bringing them in just for visits, where they receive praise, pats and love Psychology services Animal Psychology studies the cognitive processes and behaviours of animals. I offer gentle and calm modification/training, I work on forming a connection and earning trust with each individual pet before commencing our session. I use many techniques and methods, tailored specifically for each individual case. always end on a positive note, enjoying play time and cuddles before I leave, each visit. Classes There’s a class to suit everyone here at Behind the Bite! These classes are info packed and lots of fun. I aim to teach everyone confidence, trust, and provide an in depth understanding of the Canine mind. Come along and learn how to build an unbreakable connection with your dog, read their body language, and much more, today! Thank you for visiting my page, I hope to see you and your precious pet soon!
