Could we please ask people not to park on the footpath outside the clinic. We need this space for patients who can’t make it to or from the clinic to the car park. We have had a couple of near misses in the last 2 weeks due to parked cars and cars driving on the footpath. Thank you.

Today is World Diabetes Day! 🐾💙
Just like humans, our furry companions can develop diabetes too. Pet diabetes occurs when the body can’t properly produce or utilise insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Early detection is key to managing this condition and ensuring your pet lives a happy, healthy life.
⚠️ Some signs to watch for include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, reduced activity, feeling tired and increased appetite. If you notice any of these symptoms, book an appointment with us right away.

⚠️ Winter Hazards ⚠️
Frozen water sources: Ponds, lakes and other water sources may freeze over in winter. However, the ice may not be thick enough to support your pet’s weight, posing a drowning risk. Keeps pets away from frozen bodies of water. 🐾
