Say hello to Elvis!
Elvis is an incredibly handsome Irish Wolfhound Puppy 🍀

Elvis came in to see Dr Helen for his 2nd round of Puppy Vaccinations!

🇮🇪 The Irish Wolfhound is a large breed sighthound, originating in Ireland, also known as the Irish Greyhound.

🏋️‍♂️Irish Wolfhounds have an average height of 2.5-3 feet, and can weigh anywhere from 45kg up to 80kg!
At 10 weeks of age, our Elvis already weighs 10kg!

These gentle giants are one of the oldest dog breeds in the world, spanning back over 1000 years! They were used for hunting in ancient times, but were most famous for serving during World War II.

Elvis was such a good boy and has captured the hearts of all the Vets and Nurses here at Asquith. We can’t wait to see him back for his final Puppy Vaccines! 🍀

Laser therapy is a non-medicated, non-invasive tool for managing pain and inflammation in your pet. This is done by using light energy to speed up and improve the cells own healing process.
