Last week was filled with new life and exciting beginnings as we welcomed three litters of puppies to the clinic! Over just two days, we had the pleasure of microchipping and giving first vaccinations to 19 adorable pups. It was a busy and heartwarming time for our team!

If any of these little ones have caught your eye, feel free to give us a call at the clinic, and we’ll pass your details along. Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead! Call us at 38216001.

Drago is one big unit of a dog. He loves coming into the clinic and not scared of much except the nail clippers 😏

It took Nurse Susie, Nurse Paula and owner Carlos to trim them today. He sure is a 3 person job, but behaved himself better than his owner thought he would. Drago is such a beautifully natured boy ❤️ If your pets need their nails trimmed and you need a second or third person, contact the clinic. We would be happy to help 😊

P.S. the photo does not do this dog justice.

Walking your dog in scorching heat can be extremely dangerous, particularly on concrete or bitumen, as these surfaces retain a lot of heat. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws—place your hand on the surface for 10 seconds; if it’s too hot to leave your hand there, please avoid walking your dog.

Overheated surfaces can burn your dog's paw pads, leading to pain, injury, or infection. Instead, schedule walks early in the morning or late in the evening when temperatures are cooler, and choose grassy or shaded paths whenever possible. Always prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort during hot weather.

Caring for a dog with storm anxiety can make a big difference in how they cope during bad weather. Here are some helpful tips:

1. **Create a Safe Space**: Set up a cozy, quiet area where your dog feels secure. This could be a crate with a blanket over it or a room where the storm sounds are muffled.

2. **Use Calming Products**: Thunder jackets, Homeopet Storm Stress or Homeopet Anxiety can help ease anxiety. Consult your vet for recommendations.

3. **Distract and Comfort**: Keep your dog busy with their favorite toys, a puzzle feeder, or soothing music. Offer comfort, but try not to reinforce anxious behaviors by overreacting to their stress.

4. **Stick to Routine**: Dogs find comfort in consistency, so maintain normal routines as much as possible.

5. **Talk to Your Vet**: For severe anxiety, your vet may recommend a short-term medication during storms.

6. **Stay Calm**: Dogs pick up on your emotions. Stay calm and reassuring to help them feel safe.

By providing a combination of comfort, distraction, and routine, you can help your furry friend weather the storm more peacefully.

Call us at the clinic on 38216001 if you need help with your pet through this storm season.

Meet Georgie, a handsome young cat who was recently castrated. Castration is an important procedure for male cats, not only to prevent unwanted litters but also to reduce territorial behaviors like spraying and fighting. It helps keep your feline friend healthier and happier while contributing to the wellbeing of the wider cat community. If you haven’t yet had your male cat desexed, consider scheduling an appointment—it’s a simple step with lifelong benefits!

Meet Louie, a courageous 1-year-old toy poodle. This week, Louie showed incredible bravery during surgery to remove a lump from between his digits. The procedure went smoothly, and he recovered wonderfully in the hospital. The lump has been sent off for testing, and we're keeping our fingers crossed for good news!
