As storms become more frequent in the Wagga Wagga area, it's essential to ensure your dog's safety and comfort during these events. Here are some tips to help manage storm anxiety:

- Create a Safe Space: Designate a quiet, comfortable area in your home where your dog can retreat during storms. This could be a crate or a room with familiar bedding and toys.

- Use Calming Products: Consider products like Adaptil and ThunderShirt to help alleviate anxiety. Adaptil releases calming pheromones, while ThunderShirt applies gentle pressure to reduce stress. Both are available with us either in reception or through order.

- Provide Distractions: Engage your dog with indoor activities such as puzzle toys, gentle play, or offering a high-value chew to divert their attention from the storm.

- Maintain a Routine: Keep feeding and exercise schedules consistent to provide a sense of normalcy.

- Consult with a Vet: If your dog's anxiety persists, seek professional advice for additional strategies or treatments.

By implementing these measures, you can help your dog feel more secure during stormy weather.

"The vets who answer your calls in the middle of the night are the same ones in surgery or attending emergencies at 8 AM"

The veterinary shortage crisis is real, and it’s hitting regional Australia hard. Thanks to Guardian Australia for shining a spotlight 🔦 on this issue following the latest Jobs and Skills Australia report, which highlights the essential role of vets—not just in caring for pets 🐶🐱 but also in protecting Australia’s food supply chain 🥩🥚 and food security 🌾🇦🇺.

The Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) continues to push for critical investment 💰 in our profession, including student debt relief 🎓💳 and extending the Commonwealth Prac Payment Scheme to veterinary students. These measures are essential to ensuring more vets can sustainably serve regional communities like ours.
