It's important to stay mindful of hidden hazards while out and about — especially around the water.

Recently, Mr Enzo came in after a walk near the shoreline, where he accidentally ran over some sharp oyster shells and injured his paws. Thankfully, after a thorough check by Dr Alice, it was determined that the cuts were superficial. With careful disinfecting, pain relief, and plenty of TLC from our wonderful nursing team, Enzo was back on his feet in no time. 💙

Oyster shells, hot sand, and other unseen dangers can quickly turn a fun outing into an unexpected vet visit — so please keep a close eye on where your pets explore.

Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine responsibly!

Meet Sarah, our newest trainee Veterinary Nurse! Sarah has been working in vet clinics since 2022 and started at Figtree this year, welcome to the team! Interesting fact about Sarah: her middle name is Pebbles (like the flintstones).

Animal welfare is her passion in and outside of the clinic, and she works at an animal shelter on weekends. Sarah recently adopted a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel cross Poodle named Peter (pictured). Aren’t they adorable?

Meet Jabez, a 13-year-old Cavoodle, who came in for a routine dental procedure but left with an unexpected diagnosis.

During his comprehensive dental exam, which included radiographs, a thorough descale and polish, and treatment for dental disease, we discovered an oronasal fistula – a hole connecting the roof of his mouth to his nasal cavity. This likely stemmed from a previous dog bite injury. As a result, Jabez had been experiencing food traveling up into his nasal cavity, causing infections, snorting, and discomfort.
Due to Jabez being head-shy (a term for animals who are anxious about having their head touched or restrained), it was difficult for us to examine his mouth fully before anaesthesia. However, with approval from his owners, Dr. Liam performed an advanced reconstructive procedure to close the fistula and complete the dental treatment.

We’re pleased to report that Jabez is now breathing much easier and snoring less. His owners are delighted with the results, and we’re so happy to have helped improve his quality of life.

Did you know Best for Pet Wellness Plan members receive $250 off their pet's annual dental procedure? Wellness plans make it easier to keep on top of routine pet health services, as often routine preventative services such as dentistry, vaccines, and annual check ups aren't covered by insurance.
