Summer holiday vibes in the air don’t make us anywhere near as happy as receiving another 5 star review! Thank you so much Michael for sharing yours and Missy's experience with us, especially giving us the auspicious title of "Best vets in Sydney"!

Dogs barking, people chatting, phones ringing, and the hustle of busy feet and paws— the vet’s waiting room can feel overwhelming for some pets! At Vetmed, we understand that every pets ideal vet experience is different, and for some, a safe hidey hole under mum or dads chair is the pawfect escape to help calm the farm, and prepare for your vet appointment. Our Randwick clinic chairs provide a quiet space underneath for any puss or pooch who prefers a little 'me time' in the lead up to their appointment. How good does that sound?

As a dog owner, Christmas treats for your pooch can feel like a holiday tradition to ensure they’re included in the festive cheer. But before you toss another treat their way, why not make sure your dog's teeth are in top shape before Saint Nick arrives? Optimal oral health is crucial for your pet’s overall well-being. Poor dental care can lead to more than just doggy breath—it can result in infections, chronic pain, and long-term issues like heart, liver, and kidney disease. Make preventative dental care part of your pre-Christmas routine, and give both you and your pet even more reasons to smile this festive season.

Weather changes this year have caused a rise in ticks, particularly in bushy areas. These little pests are thriving, so it’s essential to make sure your furry friends are well-protected.

We’re loving the new Bravecto Quantum annual injection, which gives your pet 12 months of protection from ticks. It’s a convenient and effective way to guard against these troublemakers. If the injection’s not the right fit, don’t worry—there’s a range of treatment options available to suit your pet’s needs.

With ticks posing a bigger threat this season, our vets recommend bringing your pet’s next dose forward, no matter which prevention method you choose. Extra care now means peace of mind all season long.

Visit your Vetmed team today to chat about the best way to protect your pets and keep their tails wagging happily.

Who knew there was a month dedicated to honouring the peanutty goodness and indulgence that is peanut butter. Whether you are camp crunchy or smooth, did you know that you can share this guilty pleasure with your pooch? A little peanut butter in small amounts is perfectly safe for pooches, but take care to stick to the 100% peanut varieties. This ensures no nasty additives that might not be safe for your peanut loving pup, especially xylitol which, although a natural sweetener, is even more toxic to animals than chocolate!

If you are yet to lock in your pets holiday abode, give us a call asap to avoid disappointment!

Dental hygiene is one of the most important aspects of your pets health, and if not managed well, it can lead to a lot more than just halitosis on four legs. Infection, chronic pain, as well as long-term consequences like heart, liver and kidney disease can all result from prolonged poor oral health. We all know we are supposed to check our pearly whites twice a year, so why not our pets? Just like us humans, preventative dental checks will keep those cat and canine choppers in mint condition, and a pre Christmas check up is a great way to give you and your pet even more reasons to smile for the festive season.

It is the small acts of kindness that often have the biggest impacts on individuals, pets, communities and the world at large, so why not give one a go!

Today, we remember those who served and sacrificed for our freedom. As we honour the heroes in uniform, let’s also pay tribute to the countless animals who stood by their side.

From horses and dogs to pigeons and donkeys, these loyal companions played crucial roles in times of war, providing support, comfort, and even saving lives. They remind us that courage and bravery comes in all shapes and sizes. Let us never forget, and always be grateful for the lives we live today as a result of their valiant efforts.

Trick or treat? Dogs are often very good at tricks, but when it comes to treats this Halloween, make sure those candies and chocolates are kept well away from sniffing noses on four legs. You might be aware of how bad chocolate can be for your pooch, but sweeteners in lollies and candies like xylitol can also be harmful to pets. Sorry Halloween Hounds - looks like it's more tricks and less treats for you for Halloween!

Just like people, dogs are prone to sunburn and to other complications and diseases associated with sun exposure. But sharing sunscreen with your pooch is a no-no. Sunscreen for humans usually contains Zinc Oxide which is toxic to dogs. Applying a sunscreen that is specially formulated for your dog can lower your dog’s risk of developing serious sun-related medical issues. As with any new skin product, it is also important to patch test on your pooch, and ensure no adverse reaction a few days prior to heading out for some rays. Your Vetmed team can advise on the best sun protection options for your pet, including where and how to apply it safely.

School holidays are a great excuse to spend some quality time with your pets! Grab your canine companion and head out for a bushwalk with the family or a swim in a dog friendly beach or lake.

Ah Summertime! Warm sunshine, longer days, enjoying parks, gardens and beaches.... we aren't going to let our canine companions miss out on all of this now are we?

Outdoor play and exercise is great for our furry friends, but rolling around in all that nature has to offer also means we need to remember our grooming routines. Pet grooming is not all ribbons and bow ties and looking the pride of the park. Keeping a close eye on the condition of our dogs’ skin, ears, nails, and overall look helps us to keep an eye out for small problems before they become big ones.

Our VetMed team thrive on making your pets feel their best and our grooming service has all your pet pampering needs covered.

Walking with your dog is not just good for the cardiovascular health of you and your pooch, but both of you will enjoy a mental wellbeing boost from the happy exercise hormones and a good dose of Vitamin D. So lets get walking!
