As summer is in full swing, it’s important to be aware of seasonal hazards that can affect cats and dogs.

Here are some key dangers to watch out for:

Heatstroke: Ensure your pets stay cool and hydrated. Avoid excessive exercise during the hottest parts of the day and never leave them in parked cars.

Fleas and Paralysis Ticks: Regularly search your pets and use preventative treatments, such as BRAVECTO® to keep them protected year-round.

Thunderstorms: Loud noises can be very stressful for pets. Create a safe, quiet space for them and consider calming aids if your pet is particularly anxious.

If you have any concerns or need advice, don’t hesitate to contact us today: Charlestown 02 4943 6066 and Belmont 02 4945 9677.

Did You Know? Fun Vet Facts Edition!
At Lake Veterinary Hospital, we’re all about keeping your pets happy and healthy and sharing some fun along the way!
Here are a few fascinating animal facts you might not know:
Dogs’ noses are like fingerprints! No two are the same, making every snout unique.
Cats sleep an average of 12–16 hours a day. That’s about 70% of their lives spent snoozing—dream life, right?
Rabbits can’t vomit. That’s why their diet is so important to keep their digestive system in tip-top shape.
Parrots can live for decades! Some species, like the African Grey, can live 50+ years. Talk about a lifetime companion!
Goldfish don’t have 3-second memories. They can actually remember things for weeks—and even recognize their owners!

🐾 Protect Your Kitty – The Importance of Vaccinations! 🐱
Did you know vaccinations are essential for protecting your feline friend from serious diseases? Even indoor cats can be at risk, as some illnesses spread through the air or by contact with humans or other pets.
Why Vaccinate Your Cat?
Protect Against Deadly Diseases like Feline Panleukopenia.
Prevent Common Infections such as Cat Flu (Feline Herpesvirus and Calicivirus).
Essential for Boarding & Travel – Many facilities require proof of vaccinations.
Long-Term Savings – Preventing disease is far more affordable than treatment.
Key Vaccines for Cats Include:
• Feline Herpesvirus (FHV)
• Feline Calicivirus (FCV)
• Feline Panleukopenia (FPV)
Your vet will tailor your cat’s vaccination schedule based on their age and boosters are necessary to keep their immunity strong!
Call us at Belmont 02 4945 9677 and Charlestown 02 4943 6066 or book online at https://www.lakevet.com.au/ to book your cat’s vaccination appointment today.

Keep Your Pets Cool This Summer! ☀️
As the temperatures rise, it’s important to help your pets stay cool and comfortable! Here are a few tips to beat the heat:
Always have fresh water available – dehydration can happen quickly in hot weather.
Avoid walks during the hottest parts of the day – early mornings or late evenings are best.
Cool off with a bath or damp towel – gentle cooling can help lower their body temperature.
Provide a cool, shaded spot – make sure your pets have a place to relax away from the sun.
Frozen treats – ice cubes or frozen pet-safe treats can keep them entertained and cool!
Let’s keep our furry friends safe and comfortable this summer! Stay cool, and don’t forget to check on your pets regularly during those hot days. 🐶🐱
