Proactive and preventative healthcare is incredibly important in keeping your cat or dog healthy and live a long happy life. We love to say that prevention is better than the cure, which is why proactive healthcare is vital in preventing disease or catching it in its early stages. There are countless benefits to staying ahead of your pet’s health, but we've made it easy to find out the top key reasons why proactive care matters in our latest blog post - read more.

Keyhole surgery, also known as laparoscopy, is becoming an increasingly popular option for desexing procedures due to the far less invasive approach. The entire surgery is performed through two tiny incisions rather than a larger abdominal opening. Smaller incisions are less painful and reduce recovery time providing significant benefits for your new fur baby. The Vetmed team strive to ensure you can make an informed choice when it comes to your new fur family member, so check out our latest blog to understand what keyhole surgery is, how it differs from traditional desexing, and the advantages it can offer your pet.

The easter bunny is busy preparing for his Easter run a little later this year, in mid April, which means this is your cue to hop to it and secure your pet boarding bookings now.

Mainstream boarding facilities can sometimes be daunting or unsuitable for older or sick animals, but at Vetmed, we offer a relaxed, calm atmosphere with fewer kennels/animals, a design that minimises stress and maintains high-level hygiene standards. Our indoor boarding facilities are air-conditioned for year-round comfort, and with a qualified Vet and nursing team in attendance, we care for pets with chronic illnesses, pets who require medication, elderly pets (over 10 years), pets recovering from minor surgery, and pets with incontinence issues. Book today for a stress-free stay!

Our pets curious personalities are part of what makes them such wonderful companions, but sometimes their curiosity can cause them to get into things they shouldn’t – smelling, tasting and eating whatever sparks their interest. March is National Poison Prevention month, so it's a good time to do a bit of a check that any potential poisons around the home or garden are out of harm's way. Ensuring food containers are sealed, medications and pesticides are well out of reach can help prevent any nasty accidents. If you are concerned about your pet having ingested something dangerous, you need to act fast, so please call Vetmed for advice immediately before attempting any home remedy to ensure the right course of action.

Pardon, what's that you say? Ahh, its world hearing day again! A day to celebrate all things ears and the enjoyment they bring! We love listening to the comforting purr of our cat patients, and the excited barks of our pooch's! No doubt our pets have some favourite sounds of their own - the opening of the food container perhaps? But did you know that your puppies and kittens came into the world without the ability to hear well due to their ear canals being completely sealed shut at birth! They open up over the first few weeks of their life, hearing their first sounds at around 2 weeks of age!

Inspired by the famous book "All Creatures Great and Small", Dr Lauren Walker is a vet in demand. Working with the Vetmed team since 2017 Lauren grew up on a Cashmere goat farm, where she owned a menagerie of pets including pet rats and a peacock. Lauren moved to Sydney to complete a Bachelor of Veterinary Science and since graduating, Lauren has completed over 3 years of additional study in Internal Medicine and Clinical Pathology, and is currently one of only 10 people in Australia undertaking her Chartered Veterinary Practitioner Accreditation, a qualification that aims to create a widely-accepted mark of excellence in the veterinary profession recognised by veterinary professionals and the general public. Laurens warm and caring nature, along with her expertise, makes her services highly sought, and she has a very loyal following of clients, so we suggest booking in advance for your time with our lovely Lauren.

As our beloved furry friends age, they require extra care and attention to ensure they live their golden years to the fullest. Just like humans, senior pets undergo physical and mental changes that may require adjustments to their lifestyle and additional consideration during times of separation. If you are heading away, here are our tips to ensuring your senior pet remains healthy, happy, and comfortable until your return.

Their unconditional love and excitement on our arrival home is unmatched, so why not show your furry life companions some love this Valentines day! Yes, you could always try baking some of your own doggie treats, but the pawfect valentines gift for the special pet person in your world doesn’t need to cost a cent! Your time is probably the most appreciated of all gifts, so why not block out the diary for some dedicated cuddle time on the couch, a long walk together in the fresh air, an extended game of catch at the park, or some extra brushing time if that is their thing. No doubt those adoring puppy eyes or comforting purrs will confirm their appreciation and have everyone feeling the love.

As the temperature rises and we get used to soaking up the summer sun, it’s vital to remember that our pets experience heat differently to us. Dogs and cats don’t sweat through their skin, they rely on panting and releasing heat through their paw pads and nose to regulate their body temperature. This makes them more susceptible to heat-related issues such as heatstroke, so understanding how to keep your pets cool is vital. Read more in our latest blog.

Wishing all our valued clients a hippity hoppity Happy Easter! If you are lucky enough to be reveling in some chocolatey goodness today, you have permission to eat it all! Your pets though, are not invited to share in your chocolate indulgence, because chocolate is toxic to pets! It contains a substance called theobromine, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, and even death in animals, so enjoy it all yourself, or keep it well out of reach of curious four legged friends.

It has been scientifically proven that pets make us happy, so we can't think of a better day to celebrate being a pet owner than International Happiness Day! Interacting with animals increases oxytocin in our brains - this is the happiness hormone, and it also increases trust and promotes bonding, explaining why we all quite literally fall in love with our pets!

How do you manage when it comes to giving your furry family member medication? Feel like you’ve tried everything? Hiding it in the food, only to be spat out or left behind in the bowl? Popped at the back of the mouth, thinking you're done, only to find it on the floor 5 minutes later? If your pet has you fooled, watch Dr Mark's demonstrating his recipe for success!

Does your dog appear to have ESP? It is probably just their highly sensitive hearing ability that gives them this apparent sixth sense - a fun fact we thought worth noting today, which is World Hearing day! Dogs not only hear much softer and therefore more far away sounds than us humans, but they are also able to detect sounds at a much higher pitch. This is thanks to their predatory heritage, requiring them to hear the tiny animals’ squeaks for survival. Nowadays, their outstanding auditory ability can be a bit of a nuisance when living with humans who use noisy, high pitched machines like vacuums and power tools! Cue the canine earmuffs!

As the school year kicks off and quiet is restored in our homes, take a moment to check in on your fur babies who might be feeling like something is missing. The sudden shift in routine can be confusing for our four-legged family members who’ve enjoyed a playful summer with their human siblings. Including them in a morning walk before school or a play after homework is done will help keep the companionship in focus and provide a sense of security during the back to school transition.

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 for you!

Ever wondered how your flexible feline manages to squeeze through those tight spaces? Well, have a feel around their collar area next time you are giving them a good chin scratch, and you will find the answer - or not find it as they case may be. Cats actually have no collarbone, contributing to their impressive contortion capabilities.
