🚨 The Hidden Danger of Roundworms in Cats! 🚨

Did you know that roundworms are one of the most common parasites in cats? These nasty worms don’t just affect your pets—they can also pose a risk to humans, especially kids! 🐱⚠️

🐛 Why is regular worming so important?

Roundworms live in your cat’s intestines, stealing nutrients and causing symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and a bloated belly. But even worse, their microscopic eggs are shed in your pet’s f***s and can survive in the environment for years—meaning your backyard, garden, or even your home could be contaminated long after the waste is gone!

🌱 Why does this matter?

Roundworm eggs can remain infectious in soil for up to 10 years, waiting for the next host. If ingested (by another pet or even a human), they can cause serious health issues. Kids are especially vulnerable as they often play in dirt or sand where these eggs can linger.

✅ The solution?

Regular deworming! Keeping your pets on a consistent worming schedule helps protect them, your family, and the environment from these persistent parasites. If you're unsure about the best worming routine for your cat, we’re happy to help—just ask us!

📞 Call us or visit us to keep your pets (and family!) safe. 💙🐾

🚨 Important Notice for Bunny Owners in Greater Sydney & Central Coast 🚨

A wild rabbit control program is scheduled for the Greater Sydney Local Government Areas, including the Central Coast, in early March 2025. This will involve the release of Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV1-K5), a strain of rabbit calicivirus that can affect all rabbits—wild and pet alike.

🗓 RHDV1-K5 release date: First week of March 2025

What does this mean for pet owners?

Pet rabbits are just as vulnerable to this disease as wild rabbits, and it’s crucial that they are vaccinated to ensure their safety. For the best protection, make sure your rabbit is vaccinated before 1 March 2025.

Please contact your vet soon to schedule an appointment and ensure your bunny is protected. Prevention is key, and vaccination is the best way to keep your furry friend safe.

Stay safe and informed! 🐇💉

**‼️ Heat Stroke & Hot Pavement – Protect Your Pets! ‼️**

With these scorching temperatures, it’s crucial to remember that our furry friends are far more sensitive to heat than we are! Dogs and cats can quickly overheat, leading to **heat stroke**, which can be fatal if not treated immediately.

**Signs of Heat Stroke in Pets:**
⚠️ Excessive panting or drooling
⚠️ Lethargy or weakness
⚠️ Bright red gums or tongue
⚠️ Vomiting or diarrhea
⚠️ Collapse or seizures

**NEVER walk your pets on hot pavement!** At just **35°C, concrete and asphalt can exceed 50°C**, which is hot enough to **burn paw pads within seconds**. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their feet!

**How to Keep Your Pets Safe:**
✅ Walk early in the morning or late in the evening
✅ Provide constant access to fresh, cool water
✅ Ensure they have shade and a cool place to rest
✅ Never leave pets in a parked car—even for a minute!

If you suspect heat stroke, **seek veterinary help IMMEDIATELY**. Early intervention can save lives!

Stay cool & keep those paws safe! ❤️🐾

Emma’s incredible sense of humor and warm, caring nature make her a beloved member of our team, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have her with us. We absolutely adore Emma and everything she brings to the table—her heart of gold and tireless dedication to wildlife and animals is truly one of a kind. 🦋✨

⚠️ Ticks are still active – protect your pets! ⚠️

Even with cooler weather, ticks are still a threat to our pets, particularly after bouts of rain. These parasites thrive in moist conditions, so wet weather means an increased risk of tick exposure. Ticks release a toxin that causes paralysis to our domestic pets which can have serious consequences for your furry friends.

Signs your pet may have been affected:

🚨Lethargy or weakness
🚨Loss of appetite
🚨Lameness or joint pain
🚨Skin irritation or swelling around the tick bite area

Now is the time for prevention! After rain, ticks are more active, so it’s crucial to ensure your pet is protected with reliable tick prevention. Whether you use tick collars, topical treatments, or oral medications, regular checks for ticks are essential. It’s always better to prevent tick bites than to treat the paralysis they cause.

Stay vigilant, especially after rain, and make tick prevention a priority to keep your pets safe! 🐾💉

🌬️🐦 As strong winds shake our trees, native birds may be found on the ground, disoriented and vulnerable. If you spot a fallen bird, it’s important to act thoughtfully.

Let’s work together to protect our beautiful native wildlife! 🐦💚 these two baby kookaburras are being picked up today by WIRES and will be released when they’re ready! Thank you WIRES ❤️
