Hello to all of our senior friends out there (especially the four legged ones but the two legged ones too ;) )

November is Senior Pet Month! Take this time to celebrate the dogs and cats who’ve been by our sides through every stage of life. 🐾

Senior pets now make up 44% of the pet population, and they deserve care that meets their changing needs with compassion and expertise.

The 2023 AAHA Senior Care Guidelines for Dogs and Cats help veterinary teams create practices that don’t just accommodate senior pets but actively welcome them—with attention to medical care, behavioral needs, environmental comfort, and client communication.

Empower your team to be champions for senior pets. ❤️

These photos may not look dramatic but that really is the point of sharing them and "Maggie" and her owner graciously agreed to let us do so. On the left, you'll see what looks like a fairly insignificant amount of dental tartar on some of Maggie's teeth. Actually there was tartar on insides AND outsides of almost all of her teeth and this was the IDEAL time to have them cleaned, to prevent irreversible damage. If you're not sure if YOUR pet should have a dental prophylaxis, check with your veterinarian.🦷🥰🦷

Many of you will have already met Dr. Jen, the newest member of our New Perth Animal Hospital team but few of you will have met her two beautiful Beagles, Helo and Briar, so we are sharing their photo today. Dr. Jen has been with us since August and we love having her! We expect to have our webpage updated with more information very shortly so be sure to check there too. A belated "formal" welcome to our very own Dr. Jen...

Happy Halloween from one of our very favourite composers and all of us at New Perth Animal Hospital! PS Can you guess which composer? 🎃

We are SOOO sorry but our telephone lines have been down for the past few hours. This has been reported and hopefully will be fixed as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can try emailing us at [email protected]. We'll try to keep a close watch on the incoming email.

We wanted to share an update on the stray kitty brought to New Perth Animal Hospital last week and send out a very sincere thank you to those of you who have so generously donated to help with her care. We won't post her "before photo" but those of you who had seen it, will be able to see how much better she is already looking. "Dorothy" is still recovering from her injuries but is eating like a horse and has already gained a 1/2 lb!
The man who brought her to us is not in a position to take her home. Dorothy spent the weekend with Dr. Jen and got along well with Dr. Jen's two dogs (and her two year old son). 🥰
Dorothy is very sweet and very friendly and is hoping for the purrfect furever home...

Whew, completed another very, very busy specialty surgery day at New Perth Animal Hospital yesterday. Many thanks to our hard-working team but above all to "the other" Dr. Lister, (as we heard her refer to herself when calling a client with a wake-up call). She certainly had her surgical gloved hands full and amazingly, completed TPLO surgeries on FIVE knees in four dogs with anterior cruciate ligament tears, as well as soft tissue surgeries on two more patients in need of more complex lump removals on Saturday. Thanks as well to all of the incredible pet parents who were so patient and understanding with early morning admissions and waiting for surgery and discharge updates. Dr. Stephanie will be back for surgery October 18th so we have a few days to get ready!
