Respiratory infections, such as kennel cough, can be caused by different types of viruses and bacteria. Just like in people, these diseases can be highly infectious, passing easily between dogs during dog walks, in dog parks, boarding kennel stays, or other social situations.
Although these infections are often uncomplicated, they can result in severe disease in puppies, older dogs, or dogs suffering from other conditions. Still, it’s always important to diagnose and treat respiratory infections to prevent these from progressing to more serious problems!
Infections like kennel cough have vaccines that provide protection or significantly reduce the severity of the disease. Get in touch with us if you’d like to vaccinate your dog. 🐶💉
Has your child ever expressed interest in working with animals? 🐾🩺 Becoming a vet is a popular aspiration for children, but the role of vet surgeons involves much more than spending time with cute animals.
Did you know that days at our practice are usually like this? And we didn’t even mention all the behind-the-scenes nursing, maintenance and admin work!
Unneutered female dogs are at risk of womb infections due to the hormones produced during their normal reproductive cycle ♀️ 🐕
This is one of the reasons why we recommend that owners always consider neutering their pets, unless they are planning on breeding!
If your pet isn’t neutered, keep an eye out for the signs in our video, and call us if you have any concerns. 📲
If you’ve ever adopted a puppy, you’ve probably heard of canine parvovirus. This illness can be life-threatening in puppies and is one of the diseases that vaccinations protect against. 💉
Check out our video, and get in touch right away if you spot these signs on your puppy!
Have you heard of feline idiopathic cystitis? Check out our reels, and get in touch with us if you spot any of these signs on your cat. 😺
If you ever notice that your cat cannot urinate or is straining to pee and nothing comes out, this is a medical emergency, and you should bring them in right away.
In the wild, rabbits spend their time digging, running, jumping, hiding, eating, and socialising with other rabbits. 🐰
Enrichment is all about allowing your bunnies to carry out their natural behaviours by encouraging physical and mental stimulation, which in turn improves their quality of life.

Ear infections are common in dogs, particularly those with long, floppy ears, such as Cocker Spaniels and Basset Hounds, or those who suffer from certain medical conditions, such as allergies 🐶
These can be extremely painful and lead to serious complications, such as meningitis (infection of the membranes that protect the brain) and hearing loss if not promptly addressed ⚠️
Watch our video to learn how to recognise if your dog might be suffering from an ear infection, and if you have any concerns, please reach out!
