Meet Stormi, the adorable Staffy pup who visited us for her vaccinations—and a quick attempt at some festive photos! 🎄

Let’s just say Stormi had her own ideas about wearing a Santa hat. 😂 While we hoped for a cute Christmas photo, Stormi gave us a lesson in "catch me if you can" and "what's that on my head?!"

Even without the hat, her cuteness stole the show. 💕 Thanks for the laughs and the wiggles, Stormi!

🌧️ Be Storm-Ready This Cyclone Season! 🌪️

As storm season is here, it’s essential to prepare not only your home but also your pets. Here are some crucial tips to keep your furry family members safe and cared for:

🐾 Storm Anxiety🐾
If your pet struggles with storm anxiety or has shown signs in the past, book a consultation to discuss medications and anxiety management options.

🐾 Stock Up on Medications and Food🐾
Ensure you have enough prescription medications or diets to last through potential clinic closures. Don’t leave it to the last minute—supply disruptions may occur before or after a cyclone.

🐾 Identification is Key🐾
Make sure your pets are wearing collars with up-to-date ID tags. This simple step can significantly improve the chances of reuniting if your pet gets lost.

🐾 Secure a Safe Space🐾
Set up a quiet, secure area in your home where your pet can feel safe during the storm. Choose an interior room away from windows and loud noises.

🐾 Prepare a Pet Emergency Kit🐾
Include essentials like food, medications, vet records, comfort items, and enough water for at least a week.

🐾 Update Microchip Information🐾
Ensure your pet’s microchip details are current. It’s one of the best tools for reuniting lost pets with their families.

🐾 Stay Calm and Comforting🐾
Pets can sense your stress, so stay calm and provide reassurance with familiar items and a soothing presence. Severe anxiety? Consult us for calming options.

🐾 Emergency Contacts🐾
Have a list of emergency contacts ready, including your veterinarian and the nearest 24-hour animal hospital.

🐾 Post-Cyclone Safety Check🐾
Inspect your yard carefully before letting your pets out. Watch for hazards like fallen power lines, sharp debris, or contaminated water.

💙 Your pet’s safety is our top priority. Stay informed, stay prepared, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or need assistance. Call us anytime at 1300 287 738.

Sending you and your furry friends thoughts of safety and comfort during the up coming storm season. 🐾💙

🐾 Paws Up, Cat Lovers—It’s Your Month! 🐾

December is National Cat Lovers Month, and we’re here to celebrate all things feline! Whether you’re owned by a mischievous kitten or a wise old lap-warmer, this month is all about honoring our furry overlords.

🎉 Fun Feline Facts to Make You Smile 🎉
🐱 A cat’s purr can calm your nerves—it’s like a built-in therapy session!
🐱 Cats have 230 bones in their bodies (humans only have 206!). No wonder they’re such expert contortionists.
🐱 Ever wonder why your cat knocks things off the table? Science says they do it... just for fun.
🐱 Cats spend about 70% of their lives sleeping. Living the dream, right?
🐱 The oldest recorded pet cat was 38 years old—proof that with love and care, they can live their best, longest lives.

📸 Let’s Celebrate Together! Share a photo of your cat ruling the roost or getting up to their usual antics. We’d love to see their quirky, lovable selves in action!

This month, hug your kitties (if they let you), give them an extra treat, and enjoy every moment of their delightful company. Cats truly make life better, one purr at a time. 🐾

🎄🐾🎅 Christmas Holiday Reminder! 🎅🐾🎄

The holiday season is almost here! As you prepare for your well-deserved holiday, don’t forget about your furry friend’s health! Many kennels and pet boarding facilities require pets to be fully vaccinated before they can stay. This is not just a formality—it's essential for protecting your pet and others from preventable diseases. If you're planning to board your furry friends at a kennel or cattery while you travel, it’s essential to check that their vaccinations are up-to-date.

✔ Dogs: Ensure C5 vaccinations for parvovirus, distemper, kennel cough, and more are current.
✔ Cats: Check that their F3/F4 vaccinations are up to date to protect against feline flu and other illnesses.

Don’t forget to book your vet appointment early if your pet needs a booster—appointments can fill up fast this time of year!

Keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe this holiday season. 🎅🐶🐱

📞 Contact us to book your vaccination appointment, request a vaccination certificate or to check your pet’s records.

🚨 Understanding Pyometra in Female Dogs 🚨

Pyometra is a serious and life-threatening infection of the uterus that can occur in unspeyed female dogs. Here’s what you need to know to keep your furry friend safe:

🔬 What is Pyometra?🔬
Pyometra is an infection where the uterus fills with pus, causing dangerous swelling and potentially spreading toxins into the bloodstream. If left untreated, it can lead to sepsis and even death.

⚠️ What Causes Pyometra?⚠️
Pyometra is generally caused by hormonal changes following a heat cycle. When a dog is in heat, her uterus thickens and creates an environment that, if not shed through pregnancy or a normal cycle, can become a breeding ground for bacteria. The risk of infection increases with age, as hormonal changes and repeated heat cycles make the uterus more susceptible to infection.

🩺 Signs of Pyometra🩺
Watch for these symptoms, especially if your dog isn’t desexed and has recently been in heat:

🐾Lethargy
🐾Vomiting and loss of appetite
🐾Increased drinking and urination
🐾Swollen or bloated abdomen
🐾Discharge from the v***a (can be bloody or pus-like)

✅ How to Prevent Pyometra✅
The best way to prevent pyometra is through desexing (speying). By removing the uterus and ovaries, you eliminate the risk of infection. Desexing also offers other health benefits, including reducing the risk of certain cancers.

If you notice any symptoms of pyometra, contact your vet immediately as this is a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment. Protecting your pet with timely desexing is the best step towards a longer, healthier life! 🐾

🐕💊Why Deworming Your Dog is Essential 🐕💊

Intestinal worms are more than just a nuisance—they can seriously impact your dog’s health and well-being. These parasites can cause weight loss, digestive issues, and even lead to more severe complications if left untreated.

Regular deworming is key to keeping your dog healthy and happy. It helps prevent infections, protects your dog from potential harm, and also reduces the risk of spreading these parasites to other pets or even humans.

If your dog hasn’t been dewormed recently, it’s time for a check-up! Let’s ensure your furry friend stays worm-free and thriving.

🌞 Heat Stroke Alert! 🌞

It’s not even summer yet, but with temperatures already rising here in Townsville, we’re seeing a few cases of heat stroke in pets. Heat stroke can happen quickly and be life-threatening for our furry friends, so let’s keep them safe!

🚩 Warning Signs of Heat Stroke🚩
Recognizing the early signs of heat stroke can make all the difference. Watch out for the following symptoms:
🚩Excessive panting or difficulty breathing
🚩Drooling or thick, sticky saliva
🚩Weakness, lethargy, or even collapse
🚩Bright red gums or tongue
🚩Vomiting or diarrhea

🌡️ Prevention🌡️
Preventing heat stroke is all about proactive care. Here are some essential tips:
🌡️Keep pets indoors during the hottest parts of the day (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
🌡️Provide plenty of fresh water and shade if they’re outside
🌡️Exercise wisely, especially for flat-faced breeds, elderly pets, and puppies. Schedule walks and playtime during the cooler parts of the day—early morning or late evening.
🌡️NEVER leave pets in a parked car, even for a few minutes

🚑 Emergency Steps if You Suspect Heat Stroke🚑
If you suspect your pet is experiencing heat stroke:
🚑Move hem to a cool area immediately, ideally indoors or shaded.
🚑Offer small amounts of cool water (not ice-cold) for them to drink.
🚑Cool them gradually with a damp towel or cloth, placing it on their neck, armpits, and groin area. Avoid using ice packs or immersing them in cold water, as this can shock their system.
🚑 Contact us or head to the nearest vet ASAP – heat stroke is an emergency!

Stay alert, and let’s keep our pets safe as temperatures rise. Heat stroke is preventable—by taking these simple steps, we can protect our pets from this life-threatening condition.

🐾 Bath Time Tips & Tricks for Your Pet 🐾 Bathing is important for keeping your pet’s coat clean and maintaining their skin and coat health. We know it can sometimes be challenging, so here are some tips and tricks to make bath time easier for you and your furry family member: 🥜Lick Mats 🥜 Lick mats filled with your pet’s favorite treat, like pet-friendly peanut butter, can be stuck onto the wall of the bath to provide a distraction. This is especially useful if using a medicated shampoo with a 10-minute contact time, such as Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo or Pyohex® Medicated Shampoo. 🧽Use a Sponge 🧽 A sponge can help with lathering the shampoo into your pet's coat. When lathering, always add more water before adding more shampoo. 🐾Use a Face Towel 🐾 Most pets don’t like water being poured directly onto their face. Using a damp cloth to clean around the face is usually well tolerated and helps protect the eyes and ears from shampoo and water. 🐱🐶 Towel Wrapping 🐱🐶 If a 10-minute contact time is required, try wrapping your pet’s body in a towel during this time. This will make them feel warm and secure and also help prevent ingestion or inhalation of the shampoo. This technique is particularly useful for cats and puppies. 🎉Positive Reinforcement 🎉 Make bath time an enjoyable experience for your pet. Incorporate things they love, such as a game, their favorite toy, a massage, and plenty of treats! Don’t forget to praise your pet’s good behavior. By following these tips, you can turn bath time into a positive and stress-free experience for both you and your pet! . . . . . #PetCare #PetBathing #Vet2UrPet #HappyPets #HealthyPets
