Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2nd annual People & Pets Community Day at the Addi Road Food Pantry yesterday! It was an incredible day of connection, community and care.

Together with the Petbarn Foundation, we were able to support vulnerable local pet owners with free pet essentials, helpful advice, warm sausages, hot coffee and even snow cones for a sweet treat!

Seeing our community come together to look out for one another - and our furry family members - was something truly special.

This event was created to ensure support reached the people and pets who need it most and we were so grateful to welcome local residents along with their beloved cats and dogs.

Thank you for making our 2nd year of this event so meaningful, supportive and full of wagging tails. 🐶🐱

🐍 Snake Season Has Well and Truly Begun! 🐾

With the warmer weather rolling in, snakes are becoming increasingly active — which means a higher risk of snake bites in pets. Please stay alert when walking dogs or letting cats roam near long grass, creeks, sheds, or bushy areas around Strathalbyn and surrounding areas.

🚨 If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake:
• It is a medical emergency. The quicker we can begin treatment, the better your pet’s chance of survival.
• Keep your pet calm and as still as possible. Movement increases venom spread.
• Do NOT bring the snake to the clinic. Snakes can appear dead but aren’t — for your safety, never handle them.
You may take a photo only if it is safe to do so, though it is not necessary for treatment.
• Call us immediately on 8536 2722, and provide an approximate time of arrival so our team can prepare for your pet’s emergency care.

🐶 Common symptoms of snake bite in dogs:
• Collapse followed by a quick recovery
• Lethargy
• Dilated pupils
• Shaking or tremors
• Bleeding from the nose, mouth, or bite site
• Weakness or wobbling
• Loss of bladder or bowel control

🐱 Common symptoms of snake bite in cats:
• Lethargy
• Dilated pupils
• Collapse
• Paralysis (often starting from the hind legs)
• Difficulty breathing or open-mouth breathing
• Loss of bladder or bowel control

Even if your pet seems to recover after collapsing, it’s still an emergency — symptoms can return suddenly and become life-threatening.

Stay vigilant, keep your pets close, and if in doubt, call us straight away on 8536 2722. ❤️

🐶 Heads up, Strathalbyn dog owners! 🐾

We’ve started seeing a few suspected cases of Kennel Cough (Canine Cough) in Strathalbyn and surrounding areas, so we wanted to spread the word to help keep our furry friends safe. 💚

What to watch out for:
• A persistent “honking” cough
• Mucus when coughing or from the nose
• Gagging or retching
• Sneezing
• Fever
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite
⚠️ In more serious cases, it can lead to pneumonia and become life-threatening.

Dogs most at risk:
🐾 Puppies
🐾 Older dogs
🐾 Dogs with other health issues

How it spreads:
💨 Airborne droplets from coughing or sneezing
🦴 Contact with contaminated items (like bowls, bedding or toys)

Dogs with kennel cough can stay contagious for up to a month — sometimes longer. Even vaccinated dogs can catch it, but symptoms are usually milder and they’re less likely to pass it on.

👉 If you suspect your dog might have kennel cough, please call us on 8536 2722 before coming in.
When you arrive, stay in your car and give us a quick call — we’ll let you know the safest way to bring your dog in.

Thanks for helping us keep all the local pups happy and healthy! 🐕💛
