If you’re planning to go away this summer, it’s important to plan how your dog will get vet care while you’re away. 🌞

If you’re taking them with you, ensure you have enough medication to last while you’re away and look up your closest veterinary clinic, particularly for after-hours care. 🐕

If they are staying home, ensure their caregiver knows who your vet is (both in-hours and after-hours) and how they will pay for treatment if you cannot be contacted.

It can be difficult to medicate a cat. 🐾 However, these days, when it comes to anti-parasitic treatments, there are so many options that even the fussiest cat can tolerate.

It’s important your cat has protection against fleas, worms and ticks year-round if they go outside (even on a leash). 🌳 If they’re indoors only, they still require treatment against worms and fleas, however often at a reduced frequency.

Contact the clinic if you aren’t sure what your cat needs.

If you’re planning on putting your dog in boarding these holidays, it’s important their annual vaccinations are up to date. 🐕

Most kennels will require proof of a C5 vaccination in the past 12 months to be accepted for boarding. However, if you really want to ensure your dog is protected, they need to have the vaccine booster at least 2 weeks prior to boarding, to ensure maximum immunity.

Contact the clinic today if you need your dog’s vaccines boosted. 🏥

One of the most common infectious diseases in cats is called ‘cat flu’.

Just like the flu in humans, cat flu can be caused by several different viruses, including calicivirus and herpesvirus. 🤒 While often self-limiting, it can cause severe disease in some cats. If your cat develops a persistent cough, heavy nasal discharge, ulcers of the mouth or nose, inappetence or has difficulty breathing, they should see a vet. Treatments are available to reduce symptoms. 🐾

When going away on holidays, it can be difficult to know what’s the best option for your cat. Should you book a pet sitter, or should you take them to a cattery? 🐱

When trying to decide, take into account your individual cat’s needs and personality. If they have medical conditions or are elderly, they might require additional care. 💼 Never leave your cats unattended for extended periods of time.

If you’re unsure what’s best for your cat, our team would be happy to guide you.

Whether your dog loves going for a drive or not, it’s important to always prioritise safety. 🐕‍🦺

Dogs should be secured in the rear of the car, using either a car harness and tether or a travel crate. This is because in an accident, dogs could become airborne and risk serious injury to themselves and others in the car. 🚗

If travelling in a ute, ensure dogs are tethered appropriately to the middle of the tray so they cannot fall off the sides. Never leave a dog in a hot car.

When young children and cats need to share the same space, we recommend a few safety measures to help ensure the enjoyment and comfort of both parties.

Firstly, children below seven years of age should be supervised with cats, as they cannot always reliably read feline body language to know when the cat’s had enough!

Secondly, we advise that every cat living with children has at least one child-free retreat zone (such as an elevated bed or a room cordoned off by a baby-gate) where they can hide if they are feeling overwhelmed.

With the right prep, cats and children can become purr-fect friends! 😻🧒

23/10/2024

Whilst choke chains and prong collars are occasionally still used for helping to control strong or excitable dogs, we strongly advise against their use. ⚠️

These types of collars can potentially cause permanent damage to the windpipe or the soft tissues around the neck, not to mention being painful for the dog.

Instead, we recommend training your pet with gentle walking aids, such as humane headcollars. For recommendations on humane walking devices and positive method trainers who can help guide you and your dog to calmer walks, please contact our knowledgeable team. 🐕

The importance of heartworm prevention and screening can’t be underestimated even though we are in an area that doesn’t typically see Heartworm cases. Contact us today to discuss annual heartworm prevention injections or monthly tablets on 94502020

Whilst desexing your cat has numerous health and behavioural benefits, it’s good to be aware that this procedure will also usually slow your pet’s metabolism slightly in the long-term.

To prevent your cat gaining unhealthy weight at maturity, we’d recommend the following:
Switching adult cats to a complete and balanced diet designed to control their weight – ask our team for recommendations if you’re unsure
Encouraging your cat to exercise daily through outdoors exploration time or indoor play with toys 🎾

For more advice on assessing and supporting your cat’s body condition, consult our health-happy vets! 🐾

*Whispering* Does your pet get very anxious with loud noises such as fireworks, thunderstorms or unexpected yelling? 🎇🌪️

Unfortunately, if not treated correctly, noise phobias can worsen over time and may result in your pet developing destructive or self-endangering behaviours in their panicked attempts to escape.

If you suspect that your pet has a noise phobia, we’d recommend a prompt consultation with our soothing vets. Depending on your pet’s particular issue, we can make recommendations on behavioural modification and/or calming medications to help quieten their fear. 🌿

Feeling a little concerned that your dog has been recommended to trial an anti-anxiety medication?

Rest assured that fluoxetine, one of the most common anti-anxiety medications recommended for dogs, is well tolerated by most pets in the long term and usually has good success in helping them to feel a lot calmer too! 🐩

In the first few days of therapy, some pets may feel a little nauseous, but this can be managed with anti-nausea medications if required, and generally passes quickly.

So, when it comes to anti-anxiety medications in pets, don’t stress!

Does your cat find routine vet visits stressful? 😾

Our team would recommend the following stress-soothing tips:
• Ten minutes before travelling, spray your pet’s carrier with calming feline scent hormone
• Partially cover your pet’s carrier with a light towel to increase their feelings of security
• In the waiting room, keep your pet’s carrier securely up on your lap where possible
• Ask our team about the potential usage of safe, calming sedatives for your pet prior to veterinary appointments

For more advice on keeping your cat calm and content out of the house, consult our feline-friendly team! 🐈

With a lot of conflicting marketing in the pet food space, it’s understandable that pet owners may feel uncertain about the best diet for their pet. 🍽️

We’d like to reassure you that the most important aspects of a good pet diet are that it is complete and balanced for your pet’s species and life stage (either for growth or adult maintenance) and comes from a source that conducts regular food safety checks to reduce the risk of harmful contamination.

Whether that manifests as a cooked, dry kibble, or tinned food diet is up to you and your pet’s individual preferences!

For personalised advice on healthy food options for your pet, consult our diet-diligent team! 🐾

Tick season has started; we have had multiple hospital admissions this week and for tick paralysis. Make sure your pets are up to date with their tick prevention, even if they don’t go out of the house that much. Ticks are sneaky buggers! Call us about the new annual tick prevention injection Bravecto Quantum or other tick prevention options; 94502020.

Spider bites in pets: new fear unlocked? 🕷️

Whilst spider bites in pets fortunately don’t seem to be a common issue, it’s still a good idea to be aware, as redback and funnel-web spider bites can cause severe pain, whilst redback bites can also potentially lead to vomiting, muscle cramping, agitation or even sudden death in cats.

We advise a strategy of prevention by keeping pets out of sheds and garages where possible, and keeping outdoor areas tidy and clean, with objects well-spaced to reduce potential spider hiding nooks. 🏡

If you suspect your pet may have been bitten by a spider, we’d recommend seeking urgent advice from our team or the Australian Animal Poisons Helpline.
