Can puppies and kittens go into boarding? 🐕🐱 With the right preparation: yes!

We’d recommend that young pets only attend boarding facilities once they have received all their puppy/kitten vaccinations, to ensure that they are protected against common infectious diseases. You should also double-check the specific vaccination policies of your boarding facility to confirm that your pet meets their admission criteria. ✅

Additionally, it’s important to ensure that your pet is up to date with effective parasite prevention and will remain covered for the duration of their stay.

For personalised advice on the safest infection protection for your pet, consult our knowledgeable veterinary team!

If you’re planning to leave your cat in care whilst you go away on holidays 🏖️, it’s sensible to take a few precautions to ensure they’ll be able to receive prompt veterinary treatment if required.

Have a discussion with the cattery staff (or individual pet sitter/carer) regarding any pre-existing health issues your pet has, and provide the contact details of your regular veterinary clinic. 🐾

It’s also a good idea to clarify your basic wishes for if your cat were to suffer an emergency illness or injury – this may involve a monetary limit that you would automatically consent to for any urgent veterinary diagnostics or treatment.

For more information about emergency care for your feline friend, consult our helpful team.

With pets and people getting out and about more in the warmer weather ☀️, we’d like to remind dog owners about the importance of consistent parasite prevention for helping to keep your pet safe!

Any dog that goes outdoors should be kept up to date with regular flea and intestinal worm prevention.

🐶 If you and your pet live in or visit a region where ticks and heartworm are present in the environment, they should also receive consistent protection against these potentially life-threatening parasites too.

For personalised advice on the safest and most thorough protection for your pet, consult our parasitology-proficient team!

If you’re planning on booking your feline friend into a cattery, 🏨 you will be required to ensure that their vaccinations are up to date. What does this involve?

Most catteries require adult cats to have received at least an F3 vaccination (against feline herpesvirus, feline calicivirus and feline panleucopaenia) within the last 12 months. Ideally, this should have been administered at least 14 days prior to boarding to ensure maximum protective effect. 🐱

Vaccination requirements for young kittens can vary, so it’s a good idea to check with the cattery as to their individual policies.

For more information on feline vaccination, consult our knowledgeable team!

Have you heard of CIRDC in dogs?

CIRDC refers to Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex - a newer term for the contagious respiratory illness traditionally known as kennel cough. 😷

This new name alludes to the fact that the disease can be caused by a variety of different viruses and bacteria, and that dogs can contract this respiratory illness even when not attending a boarding facility.

For a personalised assessment on your pet’s risk of contracting CIRDC and how you can help to protect them, consult our cough-conscious veterinary team. 🐾

Should you book boarding or a pet sitter for your dog when you go away on holidays? 🌞

Staying consistent with a familiar, high-quality holiday care environment will help your pet to settle in more quickly and easily.

If your pet is a social butterfly, 🐕 they will likely enjoy attending a boarding facility where they get to play with other friendly dogs. However, if your pet is on the quieter side or has any significant behavioural or health issues, it may be worthwhile employing a pet sitter (or wheedling favours from a responsible family member or friend!) who can care for them in a calmer home environment. 🏡

For more advice on safe holiday care for pets, consult our caring team.

It’s important to always keep an eye on children whenever they are around dogs. 👶🐕

Even the sweetest dog can be put in an uncomfortable position by an energetic toddler and do something they wouldn’t normally. Teach children to respect animals and treat them gently and never leave dogs and young children alone together. Socialising dogs early can also help increase tolerance of children. With a little care and understanding, children and dogs can grow to be best friends. 🐶💕

Training, like diet, can be controversial as everyone has their own take on what works best. However, we strongly believe that, based on the research, positive reinforcement training results in the best short- and long-term outcomes in dogs. 🐶🏅

Positive reinforcement training relies on rewarding good behaviour rather than punishing the bad. Punishment can be effective in the short term, but it results in fear and anxiety in pets.

Training pets should be fun! Start your positive reinforcement training today and see the difference in your dog’s behaviour! 🐾

One of the most common questions we get asked around desexing is whether it will change a pet’s personality. Fortunately, the answer is simple – no it won’t!

Desexing your pet prevents unwanted pregnancies and significantly reduces the risk of reproductive cancers such as ovarian, mammary and testicular cancer. While it can reduce the incidence of certain behaviours, such as wandering, fighting and hu***ng, it won’t change your pet’s underlying personality and they’ll still be the dog you love! 🐕💕

If your dog can’t stand to be apart from you, they might have separation anxiety. Signs of separation anxiety in dogs include destructive behaviour, excessive barking, and house soiling. 🐾

Don’t let your dog’s separation anxiety get the best of them. If you suspect your dog has separation anxiety, give us a call to arrange a chat with one of our vets who can provide advice and treatment. 📞

If your cat has been diagnosed with anxiety, one of the treatments that might be recommended is medication.

Just like how many people have to take anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication every day, sometimes our furry friends need help stabilising their mood and feelings. 🐱

There are lots of different medications that treat anxiety, and your vet will work with you to find the best one for your cat so they can live their best life – anxiety-free! 😌

08/10/2024

Does your dog dread coming to the vet? 🐕
We can help! Short, positive visits, treats, and calming pheromones can help reduce anxiety.

We always welcome our patients popping by for a visit and a treat to help normalise coming to the clinic. 🏥

If your pet gets really worked up beforehand or it’s interfering with their medical care, chat to one of our vets about medications that can help. Our team is dedicated to making your pet’s experience as stress-free as possible.

Age is not a disease! Even older pets can have surgery safely.

Many pet owners worry about anesthesia in older pets. Advances in veterinary care mean that anesthesia is safe for most senior animals, and the benefits almost always outweigh the risks. We use human-grade anaesthetic agents and always check your senior pet’s underlying health through blood tests prior to any surgery. 🧑‍⚕️

If your pet needs surgery but you’re unsure about the anaesthesia, chat with our team to find out more information about how we manage senior surgeries.

Keeping pets away from snakes can be tricky. However, have you heard of snake avoidance training?

While not necessary for most pets, for those living on rural properties or who have previously attacked snakes, avoidance training might be worth considering. 🐍 Ensure you engage a qualified trainer who uses modern and pet-friendly training techniques if you go down this road.

If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake, call us immediately. 📞
