Today we bring to you 5 easy steps to at home dental care, for your cat or dog 🦷 Dr Alex goes through some simple, and easy ways to help reduce plaque, stain and tartar build up in your pets.
Our vets see a range of different animals daily, making everyday interesting! Dr Tamara was out and about in the community last week, and visited ‘Mav’, the Donkey 🫏 A light sedation was provided, and a routine dental was performed.
Annual dentals are important in all equine species, as periodontal disease is extremely common amongst them 🦷 If you think your equine friend is due for their yearly dental, or may be due for a dental check, please call the clinic on (07) 4662 2301, to speak to one off our friendly staff.
Today we’re sharing a behind the scenes video of what happens when a pet is brought into the clinic for a desexing procedure 🩺
Desexing (also known as sterilisation, speying, castrating or neutering) your pet is highly recommended by our DDVS team. Not only are there numerous health benefits for your pet, but the number of unplanned puppies and kittens ending up in animal shelters is also drastically reduced. For roaming pets like outdoor cats (whose neighbourhood adventures are hard to track), desexing your pet is especially important.
A special thank you to Ziggy, for being the star of the show!
