If you look good, you will feel wonderful. To keep your pet's coat healthy and pleasant, schedule frequent grooming appointments.
Pet coats will matt if not kept clean and brushed on a regular basis. These matts are painful and can lead to skin infections that are difficult to detect beneath the matted coat.
Our groomers are professionally trained to take the best care of your pets. And for those difficult babies that stress so terribly, we can offer sedation by our vets to make the experience stress free.
Book a grooming session at Cottage Vet and let us turn those tails into wagging wonders! 🐾

BLADDER STONES IN DOGS AND CATS 🩺
Bladder stones are common in dogs and cats due to factors like genetics, stress, diet, and obesity. Symptoms include repeated infections, blood in urine, and difficulty urinating.
Treatment varies based on stone type and symptom severity. Dogs and cats that are unable to urinate are considered emergencies and should receive immediate medical assistance.
Watch Dr. Morné remove obstructive stones in this urgent case.

During this season, pets often face issues with grass seeds picked up during walks or while sniffing around in the garden. These tiny culprits can cause various problems depending on where they lodge:
👃 NOSE: Sudden, severe sneezing (sometimes with blood)
👂 EAR: Head tilted, pawing, and head shaking
👁️ EYE: Keeping the eye closed
🦶 SKIN: Usually on the foot, forming a small wound or blister
Immediate removal is crucial to prevent irritation and tissue damage. Luckily, Cottage Vet is the only clinic equipped with a scope for nasal examinations and a sensitive ultrasound for detecting hidden seeds.
Check out Dr. Morné in action as he removes a grass seed from a dog's nasal passage in the video! 🌱
