🌾 It’s Grass Seed Season! 🌾

Those tiny grass seeds can cause big problems for our furry friends, working their way into ears, eyes, paws, and skin and can sometimes leading to painful infections or abscesses.

💡 Prevention tips:
✂️ Keep longer coats trimmed (especially paws, belly, armpits & ears)
🚶‍♀️ Avoid seedy grassy areas
🤲 Check your pet’s coat after walks

👀 Watch for signs: head shaking, limping, swelling, coughing, or excessive licking. These could mean a grass seed has hitched a ride!

If you suspect your pet’s picked up one, contact your vet right away as early action makes all the difference. ❤️🐾

This gaggle of adorable Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies recently came into our Heartlands Toodyay Hospital for vaccination and microchipping. These puppies rely on us to keep them safe and healthy, and two of the most important ways we can do that are through vaccination and microchipping.

✨ Vaccinations protect puppies from serious, preventable diseases like parvovirus, distemper, and rabies — giving them the best start in life and helping keep all dogs in the community safe.

📍 Microchipping is their ticket home if they ever get lost. A tiny chip (about the size of a grain of rice) can make the difference between heartbreak and a happy reunion.

Is your puppy microchipped and vaccinated? If not, call us now to book your puppy in and keep them safe. 💕

🚨 Farmers Beware: Worming Your Dogs Is a Must! 🐶🚜

When was the last time you wormed your rural or working dog? If you had to think about it - it’s probably time!

💡 If your farm dogs have access to offal or raw kangaroo meat, they should be wormed every 4 weeks. If not, a regular worming schedule every 3 months is still essential.

⚠️ Farm dogs can pick up some additional intestinal worms by eating raw offal or carcasses that city dogs wouldn't have access to, so keep them away from livestock organs and always use a wormer that covers all major intestinal worms.

👉 Hydatid tapeworms, in particular, can pose a serious risk to humans - especially children. These parasites can spread from infected dogs to people simply through contact.

Protect your dogs. Protect your family. A simple treatment goes a long way. 💊🐾
