Regular dog dental cleaning plays a vital role in preventing tartar buildup, gum disease, and bad breath. Many dogs experience dental issues without showing obvious signs until the condition becomes severe. Plaque forms quickly, and if it’s not removed, it hardens into tartar, which leads to inflammation and discomfort. Pet parents can prevent these complications by understanding the importance of early intervention and by maintaining a proper dental hygiene routine. Good dental care not only improves your dog’s breath but also supports their overall well-being.

When it comes to dog vaccinations Inner West communities are at a unique advantage—and risk. With so many parks, dog-friendly cafés, walking paths, and off-leash areas, pets have constant social exposure. While this lifestyle is enriching, it also increases the likelihood of coming into contact with viruses and bacteria carried by unvaccinated pets or wildlife.

What a week of wonderful patients 🐾💛

We’ve loved seeing so many different faces (and paw-sonalities!) come through the clinic:
🐱 Pipsy — a very playful 9-week-old kitten in for his check-up and worming.
😺 Arnie — our beloved 18-year-old sweetheart (and Dr Kayleigh’s own cat!) who gave us all a little scare earlier in the week.
🐶 Waffles — the lovable Cavalier who found trouble by snacking on something he really shouldn’t have.
🐱 Luna — a beautiful girl who visited for treatment of a UTI and some blood tests.

We’re so happy to report that everyone is feeling much better and looking as cute as ever 🩺✨
