🌟 Fun Fact Friday 🌟

🪥 Puppies have baby teeth too! 🦷

Just like human babies, puppies grow 28 baby (deciduous) teeth, which start to appear around 3 weeks of age. These fall out to make way for their 42 adult teeth—usually by the time they're about 6 months old.

But sometimes things don’t go quite to plan…

🐾 Common puppy dental issues include:
🔸 Retained baby teeth – when baby teeth don’t fall out properly
🔸 Malocclusion – misaligned teeth or jaw
🔸 Fractured teeth – often from chewing too hard on toys or bones

💡 That’s why it’s so important to have regular dental checks with your vet, especially during your puppy’s growth and development stages. Early detection can prevent future pain and costly treatments!

🌟 FAQ: Why Do Cats Get Acne? 🌟

Yes, cats can get acne too—usually on their chin! 😺🐾

Cat acne often appears as tiny black specks (like dirt or blackheads) and can be caused by:
🔹 Excess oil production
🔹 Dirty food or water bowls (especially plastic)
🔹 Poor grooming habits
🔹 Stress or skin irritation
🔹 Underlying medical conditions

Most cases are mild, but severe flare-ups can become infected or painful. If you notice persistent bumps, swelling, or scabs on your cat’s chin, it’s worth a vet visit.

🧼 Tip: Switching to stainless steel or ceramic bowls and keeping them clean can help prevent future breakouts!

🌟 Winter Safety - Heaters & Fireplaces 🌟

Household heaters may be comforting for pets but they can be dangerous. Not only are our furry friends at risk of overheating or burning their fur and skin, but they are in danger of smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning from both gas heaters and fireplaces. 🐱🔥

🐾 Never leave your pet alone with a heater and ensure that you consistently monitor your pet’s exposure to the heater, including keeping a safe distance and limiting the exposure time.
🐾 Install a fireguard screen around the fireplace. This will prevent burning and stop your pet from eating the ashes and ingesting any harmful toxins from fire starters.
🐾 Check for gas leakages when using a gas fireplace or heater and to ensure the damper is kept open at all times for ventilation.
🐾 Gas space heaters can be particularly dangerous to pets as they are unvented and need to be externally ventilated. Keep a window open and do not operate the heater for more than four hours at a time or in confined spaces like a bathroom or bedroom.
🐾 Ensure that all games and toys remain away from household heaters.

🌟 World Zoonoses Day 🌟

Dog parks can increase the risk of exposure to a series of infectious agents including canine soil-transmitted helminths such as hookworms, roundworms, whipworms and threadworms which are endemic to Australia. 🪱🪱🪱
In addition to their impact on animal health and wellbeing, the majority of these worms are zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted to humans.

Key recommendations to reduce the risk of disease transmission from pets to people are:
🐾 Deworm pets monthly
🐾 Treat pets for external parasites year-round
🐾 Regular veterinary health checks for pets
🐾 Ensure good hygiene practices (e.g., disposing of dog faeces, handwashing)

To find out more about worm prevention for your dog, please call and speak to our friendly nurses. 📞

🌟 July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month! 🌟

Keep your furbabies safe with these essential tips: 👇

1️⃣ ID Tags & Microchips: Ensure your pet has up-to-date ID tags and a microchip with current contact information. ℹ️
2️⃣ Secure Fencing: Regularly check your yard’s fencing for any weak spots or holes where your pet might escape. 🏠
3️⃣ Leash & Harness: Always use a leash and harness during walks, even if your pet is well-trained. 🦮
4️⃣ Spay/Neuter: Spaying and neutering can reduce the urge to roam, keeping your pet closer to home. 🚫
5️⃣ Training: Invest in training to ensure your pet responds to commands such as “come” and “stay.” ✋
6️⃣ Supervision: Never leave your pet unattended outdoors, especially in unfamiliar areas. 👀
7️⃣ Pet Tracker: Consider using a GPS pet tracker to monitor your pet’s location in real time. 📱
