🐍!SNAKES ARE OUT AND ABOUT!🐍

It's that time of year again where the weather warms up and snakes become more active.
We have seen cases as early as August this year and with the amount of calls and emergency cases we have been getting in the past few weeks, it's always a good idea to brush up and be prepared if your pet is bitten this season.

Some symptoms of a snake bite may include:
- Sudden onset weakness and collapse.
- Vomiting
- Panting
- Dilated pupils
- Muscle tremors
- and paralysis, just to name a few.

⚠️REMEMBER, EVERY SECOND COUNTS WITH A SNAKE BITE!
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY THAT SHOULD NOT WAIT!⚠️

If you suspect your pet has been bitten, call a vet IMMEDIATELY to be seen ASAP.☎️

😮Have you heard?😮

We offer GapOnly® as a payment service!
If your pet has a policy with a GapOnly® pet insurance partner, for eligible expenses you can access your pet insurance benefit on the spot, and you’ll only pay us the gap (which is the difference between the invoice and the eligible claim benefit under your policy).
Give us a call today to see if you are with a GapOnly® pet insurance partner!

🪱?? ARE YOUR PET/S UP TO DATE WITH WORMING TREATMENT ??🪱

The worming schedule for both dogs and cats can differ, depending on the age of your pet and what product you are using.

As a rule of thumb, cats and dogs should be treated for intestinal worms every 3 months.🐶🐱
An easy way to remember is to worm at the start of each season.
Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer! 📆

Give us a call to find out if you are treating your pets accurately! 🐾

🌷🌹🌼🐾ALLERGIES🐾🌼🌹🌷

For some dogs, Spring time means allergies.🐾
Our dogs love a good scratch, but how do you know when it's a sign of an underlying allergy?

An allergy could be caused by bacterial and/or yeast infections, parasites, or can even be caused by something in their food or the surrounding environment.
Imagine not being able to tell someone that you are itchy!
Keep an eye out for one or more of the following symptoms:
- Redness
- Hair loss
- Regularly chewing, scratching, licking and/or biting
- Sores
- Scooting
- Darkened areas of the skin and more.

Remember that an allergy can't be fixed, it can only be managed!🐾

You know your dog better than anyone else, but if you see one or more of the following symptoms then we’d highly recommend getting in touch with us asap!🐾
Give us a call to book your appointment!

🐱 TIPS FOR AVOIDING OBESITY IN OUR CATS AND DOGS 🐶

Maintaining body weight for some of us can be quite tough at times. These tips and tricks will help in successfully managing your pets weight!

- Avoid having food out all the time for your pets to graze, at their own leisure. 🐾

- Choose specific meal times, and then be consistent with these times.🐾

- A complete and balanced diet!

- Minimal treats here and there, not as a sole diet! 🐾

- Portion control is very important! 🐾

- EXERCISE! 🐾

- Slow feeder bowls. 🐾

- Food puzzles instead of a meal!
Your pets will be exercising whilst trying to get the food from the puzzles. 🐾

In some cases a scientifically formulated diet may be recommended for your pets by a veterinarian if they are a bit heavier than they should be. 🐾

🐾🎉🥳NEW FLEA & TICK TREATMENT🥳🎉🐾

Wollondilly Animal Hospital now offers year-long flea and paralysis tick protection for dogs in one dose.🐶
That's 12 months of flea and paralysis tick prevention! Yes please!

Ensuring the safety of your dog from fleas and paralysis ticks is crucial year-round.
Fleas and ticks are not just a nuisance, they can potentially threaten your dog's health, no matter where you live. In Australia, the paralysis tick is one of the most dangerous parasites with just one female adult tick bite capable of causing life threatening illness and even death to your beloved dog. That is why it's vital to prioritise year-round prevention in conjunction with daily searching for and removal of any ticks found.
Symptoms of tick paralysis include:
- Weakness in limbs
- Changes in the sound of their bark
- Rapid or difficulty breathing
- Coughing, gagging, or vomiting.
If you believe your dog is exhibiting symptoms of tick paralysis, contact us immediately
Remember prevention is better than treatment.

Give us a call to discuss updating your dog's flea and tick treatment today

❤WORLD HEART DAY❤

Let's talk HEARTWORM!
Believe it or not, heartworm is actually spread by biting mosquitoes! 🦟
Heartworm is completely separate from intestinal worms, as heartworm attacks, you guessed it, the heart!
While we can't rid all mosquitoes by spraying Mortein continuously, we can help protect our furry friends from these deadly parasites by keeping their heart worming prevention up to date.
For dogs, Proheart SR12 is an injection available to give your pooch year round protection. This is often done at the time of vaccinations, but can be done at any point.🐶
Heartworm is not as common in cats as it is in dogs, but cats should be treated also.🐱
Give us a call to find out more about the benefits of heartworm prevention.

🐶🐾CRATE TRAINING🐾🐱

A lot of people tend to have a negative perspective when it comes to crate training.
We're here to tell you that a crate can be a positive, safe space where your furry friend can learn to relax, recharge and settle down when they are feeling overstimulated or when life is a bit overwhelming.
Crates are also a great training tool for bedtime routines and toilet training!🐾

Your pet's crate should be nothing less than a sanctuary!
If your dog is scared by loud noises or just needs a break from lots of people and/other pets, the crate will be a safe haven for your dog. They will be very grateful for this space and will love you even more for providing it! 🐾
It is also a very effective training tool if your pet ever has to stay the day with us, instead of going home straight away with you.
Sounds a bit stressful, right?
It will be even more stressful for them when they haven't been taught to settle in a smaller space (e.g. a crate), compared to a pet that has been crate trained. Those crate trained will generally be curled up and relaxed, therefore creating a happier and much more calm environment. 🐾
Crate training will be their best friend if they ever have to go into boarding.🐾

Crates are friends, not foe!🐕❤️
