🐾✈️ How to Get an Pet Passport for Your Furry Friend! 🐶🐱
Getting a pet passport is a crucial step if you plan to travel abroad with your furry friend. Here are the simple steps to ensure your furry companion is ready for international travel:
🟢Visit Your Vet for the Pet Passport: Visit us well in advance of your trip.
🟢Microchipping: Your pet must be microchipped and registered on an Irish microchip database. This is a requirement for identification purposes. The microchip must be implanted before the rabies vaccine can be administered.
🟢Your Vet will issue your Pet’s Passport: Your vet will fill out the necessary details, including the microchip number, vaccination dates, and other essential health information.
🟢Rabies Vaccination: This vaccination must be done at least 30 days before travel. If your pet has had a rabies vaccination before, ensure it is still valid and that the booster shots are up-to-date.
🟢Additional Treatments (if required): Depending on the destination country, additional treatments such as tapeworm treatment may be required. Ensure you check the specific requirements for your travel destination and have these treatments recorded in the passport.
Please keep in mind that it is not the responsibility of your vet to know the rules for every country. The best course of action is to consult official resources, such as government websites well in advance of your trip.
With these steps, your furry friend will be all set for their adventure abroad! 🌍🐾 If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to drop by our clinic or give us a call. Safe travels! 🐶✈️🐱

This week marks Dog Anxiety Awareness Week and we're here to shine a light on an issue that affects countless canine companions around the globe. 🐾 Anxiety in dogs can manifest in many ways, from subtle signs like excessive licking and yawning, to more overt behaviours such as destructive chewing or incessant barking. Understanding these cues is the first step in providing the support and care our furry friends need.
During Dog Anxiety Awareness Week, we encourage all dog owners to take a moment to observe their pet's behaviour. Are there triggers you might not have noticed before? Changes in environment, routine, or even the introduction of new family members (pets and humans alike) can significantly impact your dog's emotional well-being. 🏡💕
🐾 It's , and we're shining a spotlight on the unsung heroes who dedicate their lives to caring for our furry friends! Today, we're featuring an incredibly heartwarming moment with Highfield Clane’s very own vet nurse Shauna. 🐶💕
Caught in action, Shauna exemplifies the compassion and dedication of vet nurses everywhere, as she lovingly feeds a little pup in need. It's moments like these that remind us of the invaluable support and care vet nurses provide to our pets every day.
Let's take a moment to celebrate and thank Shauna and all the vet nurses out there for their tireless work and unconditional love for animals. 🌟
This month, we're shining a spotlight on the unsung heroes of veterinary care - our incredible Vet Nurses! 🌟🐾
As we celebrate Vet Nurse Awareness Month, let's take a moment to recognize the dedication, love, and expertise these amazing individuals bring to our furry friends' lives each day.
We would like to thank all our vet nurses for their hard work and devotion. Vet nurses do more than just assist in surgeries; they're the warm embrace for a scared pet, the knowledgeable voice that guides us through our pets' care, and the gentle hands that treat each animal with the utmost compassion. From the early mornings to the late nights, their commitment to animal welfare never wavers. 💖
Drop a thank you message, share your heart-warming stories, or simply send a smile their way. Together, let's make this Vet Nurse Appreciation Month memorable! 💐🐶🐱
WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY PET’S EARS? 🐶😺
Ear problems in pets, particularly in dogs and cats, can arise from a variety of causes, leading to discomfort and, if left untreated, more severe health issues.
Here are some of the leading causes of ear problems in cats and dogs:
🔸Allergies: Often, allergies to food, the environment, or specific substances can lead to inflammation and infection in the ears.
🔸Ear Mites: Tiny parasites that are particularly common in puppies and can cause intense itching and irritation.
🔸Bacterial Infections: Bacteria can proliferate in a pet's ear, especially in warm, moist environments, leading to infections.
🔸Yeast Infections: Similar to bacterial infections, yeast can overgrow in the ears, causing itching, redness, and a distinct odour.
🔸Foreign Bodies: Grass seeds, dirt, or other small objects can become lodged in the ear canal, causing discomfort and potential infections.
🔸Excessive Moisture: Dogs that swim frequently or have ears that trap moisture can develop infections due to the damp environment.
🔸Improper Cleaning: Over-cleaning or incorrect cleaning methods can irritate the ear canal, while under-cleaning can allow wax and debris to build up, leading to infections.
🔸Physical Trauma: Injury to the ear or head can lead to secondary infections or problems within the ear canal, as well as conditions such as an aural haematoma.
The good news is, keeping your pet's ears clean can be simple. Regular checks, gentle cleaning with appropriate products, and keeping an eye out for signs of discomfort or infection are all crucial steps. If you’re unsure how to properly clean your pet's ears or notice any redness, swelling, or unpleasant odour, it’s time to visit your vet 💚

💚❤️Bob the Red Tegu at Highfield Navan❤️💚
We are thrilled to share an uplifting update about Bob, the charismatic red tegu, who recently had quite an adventure with our incredible exotics vet, Marta in Highfield Navan. After noticing something was amiss, it was discovered that Bob was dealing with a troublesome blockage that needed immediate attention.
Thanks to Marta's expertise and swift action, Bob underwent a series of X-rays followed by an exploratory laparotomy (ex-lap) to remove the blockage. It was a tense time, but we're overjoyed to announce that the procedure was a success! 🙌
Bob is now back home, basking under his heat lamp and doing wonderfully well in recovery. His spirits are high, and he's showing that nothing can keep a good tegu down!
Let's all send our best wishes to Bob for a speedy and smooth recovery! Feel free to drop your messages of support below. 💚🦎
