Summer is a fun time for all however, with it comes some HOT issues for our pets. See below our timely reminders about keeping your pets safe this summer. 👇

🥵 Heatstroke is life-threatening so don’t take the risk. Do not leave your pet in enclosed areas for any length of time, ESPECIALLY the car! Ensure pets always have access to shade and fresh water.

🐕 Don't forget to check the temperature of the pavements or sand before walking your dog. If it's too hot to rest your hand on the pavement or sand for more than seven seconds, then it's too hot for their paws.

💧 Unfortunately, many waterways have lingering toxic algae (cyanobacteria), which can make you and your pets very sick. Look out for signs of blue-green algae in the water before swimming. You can also refer to https://www.lawa.org.nz/explore-data/swimming

🌳 Keep your dog on a leash if you're walking them near karaka trees, and make sure they don't eat any fallen berries. Karaka berries are highly toxic to dogs!

Did you know the Christmas holiday period often sees a peak in emergency vet visits?!

We would hate for an emergency vet trip to ruin your Christmas! Here are some of our top tips to keep your pets safe over the festive period:

🎄Fatty Christmas meats such as ham on the bone and pork crackling can cause vomiting, bloody diarrhoea and can lead to pancreatitis.
🎄Fruit cake and Christmas pudding often contain raisins and grapes, which are toxic to your pet.
🎄Chocolate can cause seizures, vomiting, diarrhoea and can potentially kill your pet.
🎄Corn cobs can cause blockages in the intestine that may need to be surgically removed.
🎄Alcohol and caffeine are both very toxic for pets.
🎄Onions and garlic are both toxic and can cause a life-threatening anaemia if ingested.
🎄Pits and seeds of fruits contain a substance that degrades to cyanide which is toxic, and they can also cause blockages and damage to the intestine.
🎄Macadamia nuts, although unlikely to be fatal can cause very uncomfortable symptoms.
🎄While we love a traditional Kiwi Christmas in the sun, our pets can be in danger of heatstroke. Do not leave your pet in an enclosed space for any length of time, ESPECIALLY the car! Make sure you only exercise them during the cool parts of the day and ensure there is always access to shade and fresh water.

The food listed above are just a few common foods of concern, so please stick to your pet’s regular diet and include some pet-friendly treats from our clinic as a Christmas treat. https://totallyvets.co.nz/keeping-our-pets-safe-at-christmas/

As veterinarians, we are concerned about dental care for many reasons. 🦷

Not only can dental disease cause your pet pain and discomfort, the high levels of bacteria in a diseased mouth can periodically be released into the blood stream, potentially affecting the heart, kidney and liver.

Regular dental check-ups are your pets best defence against dental disease. From now until the 30th of November, you can bring your pet in for a FREE dental check with one of our wonderful nurses.

We will grade your pet's teeth, discuss home dental care routines and provide you with an information pack and toothpaste sample to take home. If your pet requires a dental procedure, you will also receive 25% off pre-anaesthetic bloods and a free sample of Royal Canin® Sensitivity soft food.

Give us a call on 06 323 6161 to make an appointment. 💙

The silly season is fast approaching! Are all your fur friends up to date with their vaccinations? 💉🐶

Whether they're going into the boarding kennels or coming along on the family holiday, ensure they are protected from the nasties. With many dogs socialising over the summer, we do tend to see disease spikes.

Book in early to avoid the Christmas rush!

We have a new Blood Donor Hero to introduce 🩸❤️

My name is Ernie and I am a Labrador. I am a good boy (most of the time) and my favourite things are food, going to the beach and hanging out with my friends. I am only here because I heard someone mentioned a treat pack!

The very loveable Ernie joins our blood donor program and along with Buddy, Joe, Cia, Skye and Ryder will be generously donating blood to help other pets in need.
