Pets are naturally curious, often
exploring their surroundings with
their noses and mouths. While
some of this curiosity can be
harmless, certain plants can
pose serious risks to your dog or
cat.
Check out the top 12
common poisonous plants to

Myth Buster: "My Pet Doesn’t
Need Vaccinations If They Stay
Indoors!"
Truth: While keeping your pet
indoors reduces their exposure
to some diseases, indoor pets
are still at risk. Many contagious
diseases can be transmitted
through humans, other animals,
or even outdoor insects.

Regular deworming is essential for the health of your dogs and cats. Parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms can cause a variety of health issues, from digestive upset to more severe conditions like anemia or organ damage. They can also pose a risk to human health, especially in children, as some parasites are zoonotic (transmissible to humans).
A veterinarian-recommended deworming schedule ensures that your pets are protected based on their lifestyle, age, and exposure risk. Puppies and kittens often require more frequent treatments, while adult pets typically benefit from regular preventive measures every three months. Come to Thornleigh Vet for a tailored deworming plan to keep your pets and family safe and healthy.
