Please note that if your pet requires prescription medications, even on a regular basis, that our vets must see your pet for recheck appointments every 6 months at a minimum.
Some pets may require more frequent visits depending on their needs for monitoring etc.
This does not apply to over-the-counter medications such as worming/flea tablets/chews/spot-ons etc. (these medications can be purchased at any time).
This policy is in place for legal and safety reasons and ensures the correct drugs and doses are dispensed to your pet.

‼️ Important information that may affect your pet's microchip records ‼️

We have been informed that the pet microchip registry “HomeSafeID” is no longer licensed under the Victorian Domestic Animal Act and will no longer provide its registry services.

This means that any pet's microchip that has been registered under HomeSafeID's registry can no longer be looked up by vets, pounds, council etc. which will make it exceedingly difficult to reunite any affected lost pets with their owners.
If your pet has been microchipped at our hospital – then there's no need to worry – we register all microchips under Central Animal Records.
If your pet has been microchipped elsewhere and you aren't sure which registry they're on, you can search their microchip number in “petaddress.com” to find out.

All owners of cats and dogs who were microchipped prior to Nov 2024 AND registered to HomeSafeID will be contacted in the coming weeks by a new animal registry with further details.

If you require assistance or don't know your pets microchip number – you can give us a call on 9744 3611. We will likely have your pet's microchip number on your pet's file if they're a current patient or we can arrange a time to scan their microchip for you.

BROKEN TOOTH ALERT🦷💔❗️
We've been seeing an increased amount of dogs with broken teeth recently due to chewing bones.
Please don't allow your pet to chew bones or other hard objects (including raw bones, rawhides, sticks, hard plastic toys etc).
The most common tooth that fractures during bone chewing is the large upper carnassial tooth which is the largest molar tooth in your dog!
Pictured is an x-ray photo of a fractured upper carnassial tooth in a bone chewing dog that has developed infection (absesses!). Dr. Heloise had no choice but to remove this tooth due to the abscesses.
The dog will feel much better having that infected and painful tooth removed but a far better solution would be prevention!
If you suspect your dog may have injured a tooth please book a vet appointment ASAP for an assessment.
Signs to look for are:
🦷Discoloured teeth (grey-ish, purple-ish or pink/red)
🦷Blood in the mouth
🦷Chipped tooth
🦷Tooth appearing flat
🦷Wobbly tooth
🦷Oral pain signs such as rubbing their face or not wanting to pick up toys or eat kibble

If you'd like your dog's teeth checked please call us on 9744 3611 to book an appointment.

Feeding Tips for weight loss:
We highly recommend the Hills diets that are specifically formulated to combat obesity in pets, help them feel full AND lose weight. The diets are called Prescription Diet Metabolic and Metabolic combination foods - speak to us today on 9744 3611 to see if one of these diets are recommended for your pet!
If you're keen to stick to your pets' current diet - just make sure it's got a feeding guide on the bag and follow this for your pets recommended normal weight. We also recommend feeding premium diets specific for the pets' life-stage - if you want more information, give us a call or ask your vet during your appointment.

FAREWELL DR. WENDY
We are sad to say that Dr. Wendy will be leaving SAH. Her last day with us will be on Friday Feb 7th 🥹
While we are very sad to see her go, we are also excited for her to be taking an opportunity to go and do something she's been interested in and passionate about which is becoming an Exotic Pet Vet. She's even travelling to the opposite side of Australia to pursue this career path. Dr. Wendy quickly became a valued and much-loved team member of SAH and we wish her nothing but the best! Good luck Wendy! We'll miss you and your new team are very lucky to have you aboard! ❤️

Does your cat or dog bug you with begging (or howling, crying, yapping, yowling etc...) for more food?
This is a common thing that a lot of pet owners struggle with. It's important to be mindful that giving in to those mournful cries for treats, your own food or more food and paying the "cheese tax" can in fact be making your pet become overweight or obese, and therefore unhealthy and at risk.
Here are some tips to help combat this behaviour and curb their appetite:
⚽️Try subbing in some extra play time with a favourite toy, do some training or go for a short walk as a distraction.
🍽Feed them their daily food amount as 2 portions. Half in the morning and half at night.
🐾Use a slow feeder bowl or a puzzle bowl to keep them entertained and eating slower.
🐾Get rid of your automatic feeder!
🎁Make their meal time a treasure hunt by hiding their food and having them forage for their meal.
🍽Take a hand full of food out of their daily allowance and use this as treats throughout the day or during a training session.
🐾Most importantly – stick to your guns and keep persevering! You've got this! Your pet will be reaping the benefits by maintaining a healthy weight (or losing weight if they are on a weight loss plan).
🐾Worst case – if the begging still persists through all of this, give us a call on 9744 3611! We may need to review their feeding plan with you.
