Heartworm (Dirofilariosis) is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease in dogs, caused by a parasitic worm (Dirofilaria immitis). The larvae are transmitted through mosquito bites, and over time, the worms develop and live inside the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. This can lead to severe heart and respiratory problems if left untreated.
Here in the Algarve, the climate is warm and humid, creating the perfect environment for mosquitoes. This makes heartworm a real risk for dogs living in or visiting the region. The good news is that heartworm can be prevented. There are several effective options:
- Tablets or spot-on treatments – These stop larvae from developing into adult worms.
- Vaccination – Provides long-lasting protection against heartworm with a single dose, ideal for owners who prefer a simpler solution.
- Mosquito control – Reducing exposure to mosquitoes (especially at dawn and dusk) adds an extra layer of protection.
Regular prevention is much easier and safer than treating an established infection, which can be very difficult and risky. At Naturavet, we recommend discussing the best prevention plan for your dog based on their lifestyle and needs.
📍 Visit us in Luz, Lagos, Algarve, or contact our team today to keep your dog safe from heartworm disease.

🦟 Leishmaniosis in Dogs – How to Protect Your Best Friend

Leishmaniosis is a serious disease, transmitted by the bite of the phlebotomine sandfly. It is especially common in southern Europe, including the Algarve. Because it can cause lifelong health problems, affecting the skin, eyes, kidneys and general wellbeing. Prevention is always better than treatment.

At Naturavet, we care about keeping your pets safe. Fortunately, there are several ways to reduce the risk of infection:

Vaccination – Helps strengthen your dog’s immune system so it can fight off the parasite if exposed. It doesn’t replace other preventive measures, but it is an important layer of protection.

Repellent Collars – Special collars release active ingredients that repel and kill sandflies before they can bite. They usually work for several months and are easy to use.

Spot-on Pipettes – Applied to the skin (usually on the neck and back), pipettes protect against sandflies and other parasites such as fleas and ticks. Protection generally lasts 3–4 weeks.

Oral Tablets (Pills) – Some tablets protect against external parasites, including sandflies, offering an alternative to collars and pipettes.

👉 The best protection often comes from combining methods, for example, vaccination + collar, or pipette + vaccination, depending on your dog’s lifestyle and health.

Talk to our team at Naturavet to find the right prevention plan for your pet. Together, we can reduce the risk of leishmaniosis and help your dog enjoy a healthy, happy life!

Dog Registration in Portugal – What You Need to Know

In Portugal, it is mandatory for all dogs to be:
✅ Microchipped – placed by a vet, linked to your details.
✅ Registered in SIAC (national pet database).
✅ Registered at your local Junta de Freguesia.

Not registering your dog can lead to fines, but more importantly, it can put your dog at risk.

If your dog gets lost, a microchip is the fastest way to bring them home. Registration proves ownership in case of disputes. Helps control abandonment and ensures every dog has an identity.

At Naturavet (Lagos, Algarve), we can check if your dog’s microchip and registration are up to date and guide you through the process.

Protect your best friend. Make sure your dog is legally registered and safe.

Português:

Registo de Cães em Portugal – O que precisa de saber

Em Portugal, é obrigatório que todos os cães estejam:
✅ Identificados com microchip – colocado por um veterinário, associado aos seus dados.
✅ Registados no SIAC (base de dados nacional de animais de companhia).
✅ Registados na sua Junta de Freguesia.

Não registar o seu cão pode resultar em coimas, mas, acima de tudo, pode colocar o seu animal em risco.

Se o seu cão se perder, o microchip é a forma mais rápida de o trazer de volta a casa. O registo comprova a propriedade em caso de litígios. Ajuda a controlar o abandono e garante que cada cão tem uma identidade.

Na Naturavet (Lagos, Algarve), podemos verificar se o microchip e o registo do seu cão estão atualizados e orientá-lo em todo o processo.

Proteja o seu melhor amigo. Certifique-se de que o seu cão está legalmente registado e em segurança.

Many pet owners think of sterilisation only as a way to avoid unwanted litters or reduce certain behaviours (like territory marking or escaping). But the truth is, it goes much further:

✅ Health – in females, it drastically reduces the risk of mammary tumours and eliminates the chance of severe uterine infections (pyometra). In males, it helps prevent prostate problems and certain tumours.

✅ Ethics – in Portugal (and worldwide) there are still thousands of abandoned dogs and cats. Sterilising your pet is also an act of social responsibility, helping to reduce the suffering caused by overpopulation.

✅ Wellbeing – a sterilised animal lives with less stress linked to reproductive instinct and tends to have a calmer, longer life.

At Naturavet we believe sterilisation is about care, not only for your pet, but also for the community.

📅 Book your dog or cat’s appointment today and let’s talk about the best time for sterilisation.

Português:

Muitos donos pensam na esterilização apenas como uma forma de evitar ninhadas indesejadas ou reduzir certos comportamentos (como marcação de território ou fugas). Mas a verdade é que vai muito além disso:

✅ Saúde – em fêmeas, reduz drasticamente o risco de tumores mamários e elimina a possibilidade de infeções uterinas graves (piometra). Nos machos, ajuda a prevenir problemas da próstata e certos tipos de tumor.

✅ Ética – em Portugal (e em todo o mundo) ainda existem milhares de cães e gatos abandonados. Esterilizar o seu animal é também um ato de responsabilidade social, ajudando a reduzir o sofrimento causado pela sobrepopulação.

✅ Bem-estar – um animal esterilizado vive com menos stress ligado ao instinto reprodutivo e tende a ter uma vida mais tranquila e longa.

Na Naturavet acreditamos que esterilizar é cuidar, não apenas do seu animal, mas também da comunidade.

📅 Marque já a consulta do seu cão ou gato e fale connosco sobre o melhor momento para a esterilização.

What do you know about “Esgana Canina” (Canine Distemper)?

Canine Distemper can cause fever, cough, nasal discharge, vomiting and/or diarrhoea, and in later stages even tremors or seizures. Many of these signs can easily be mistaken for something else, which is why prevention is always safer than treatment.

The disease is considered uncommon in countries with high vaccination rates. Portugal is believed to be one of them, but outbreaks still happen, especially in unvaccinated dogs.

👉 You can check if your dog is vaccinated against distemper in the “Boletim Sanitário de Cães e Gatos” (Pet Health Booklet). If you’re not sure, bring it along next time you visit us and we’ll help you check.

A quick look at the booklet can save your dog from a very painful disease.

It can be very worrying when a beloved pet suddenly starts losing control of their bladder. Many owners fear it may be a sign that the end of their friend’s life is near. 💔

But the truth is, incontinence isn’t always linked to ageing or something irreversible.
In many cases, the cause can be much simpler and treatable.

Common reasons include:

- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

- Struvite crystals (a frequent condition in dogs)

- Other manageable issues that can be identified with proper testing

At Naturavet, we can perform a urine test to find out exactly what’s happening. Once we know the cause, we can choose the right treatment to help your dog feel better again.

So if you’ve noticed sudden incontinence, don’t lose hope. The best step is to have your pet checked. It might be something we can fix. ❤️

In Portugal, indoor pet access is often restricted due to health regulations, but outdoor terraces or sidewalk seating are usually pet-friendly.

When arriving at a café or restaurant, it's courteous to ask staff first if it's OK to have your dog with you and you should ensure your dog stays leashed and behaves well.

Dogs are not allowed on the beach during bathing season, unless it’s a designated dog-friendly beach. Praia do Porto de Mós in Lagos, has a dog-friendly section.

On non-concessioned beaches, meaning there are no lifeguards or other facilities, dogs are usually allowed, as long as they are leashed and under control. Owners must pick up after them.

Walking a dog on a restricted bathing beach in summer can result in a fine (between €50–250).

It’s heartbreaking, but we’ve seen more and more cases where scammers pretend they’ve found someone’s missing dog.
They contact the owner, say the dog is at a vet clinic, and claim it needs urgent surgery. Then they ask for hundreds of euros to “save” the animal.

💔 In reality, the dog was never found and the money is gone.

We don’t want this to happen to you. If you ever receive a message like this:

✅ Stay calm.
✅ Call us directly (or your local vet) to confirm whether your dog is really with us.
✅ Do not send money to unknown accounts.

If your pet is genuinely in our care, we will always speak to you directly and clearly explain the situation. Please share this post to help protect other families from this cruel scam.
Let’s look out for each other and for our animals. 🐾
