🐾 What is whisker fatigue?

🐈Your cat’s whiskers are super-sensitive.🐈

If they’re constantly touching the sides of food or water bowls, it can overstimulate them and cause stress, leading to refusal to eat, drink, or general irritability.

✅ How to avoid it:

🐱Switch to shallow, wide bowls – so your cat’s whiskers don’t touch the sides.

🐱Use ceramic, glass, or stainless steel – plastic can hold odors and bacteria.

🐱Keep food and water bowls separate – cats often prefer distance between them.

🐱Clean bowls daily – to keep things fresh and inviting.

🐾Watch for changes – if your cat seems picky, it might not be the food, but the dish!🐾

🐾 Spring = Adventure Season!
With warmer days, pets are out exploring more — sniffing new grass, meeting other pets, and sometimes finding muddy puddles. Vaccines help keep them safe from bugs and germs they might pick up.

🌸 Fresh Flowers, Fresh Protection!
Just like gardens get a spring refresh, your pet’s immune system needs a boost too. Vaccines act like their seasonal “tune-up.”

🐶🐱 Playdates Without Worries
More park visits and playdates mean more chances of meeting new furry friends. Vaccines make sure the only thing they catch is fun!

🌍 Community Shield
When your pet is vaccinated, you’re also helping protect other pets (and sometimes humans too!) from dangerous diseases. Think of it as “pet teamwork.”

🎾 No Interrupted Fetch Time
Vaccinated pets are less likely to get sick, which means more uninterrupted games, cuddles, and adventures all season long.

💉 Tiny Jab, Big Protection
One quick visit = months (or even years) of safety. Pets bounce back faster than you think!

🦴🐾 Understanding Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease in Dogs 🐾🦴

Say hello to Lood, a sweet little pup who came to us after his owners noticed he was limping and in pain 😢. After a thorough exam and X-rays, Lood was diagnosed with Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease — a condition that affects the hip joint, most commonly seen in small breed dogs.

🩻 What is it?
Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease causes the femoral head (the ball of the hip joint) to lose blood supply, leading to bone degeneration and pain. Left untreated, it can severely impact mobility and quality of life.

💉 How did we treat it?
We performed a Femoral Head and Neck Ostectomy (FHO) — a surgical removal of the damaged femoral head. This allows the body to form a "false joint," relieving pain and restoring comfortable mobility over time.

🌟 We’re happy to report Lood is now recovering beautifully! With rehab and rest, he will be back to zoomies in no time. 💨🐶

If your pet is limping, reluctant to play, or showing signs of pain, don’t wait — early diagnosis can make all the difference. 🩺

Thursday: 🐶🚨 Bone Trouble! 🚨🐶
This curious pup got himself into a bit of a sticky situation when a round bone slipped over his lower jaw and got stuck around his mouth! 😮🦴

Thankfully, his family brought him straight to us, and our team was able to safely and gently remove the bone without any harm done. He’s now back to his happy tail-wagging self! 🐾💙

A quick reminder:
Bones can seem like a treat, but they can pose serious risks — from choking hazards to dental injuries or situations like this. Always supervise chew time and ask your vet about safe options!

👉 Have questions about safe treats or toys for your pet? We're here to help!

Freaky Friday🚨

🐶💥 "I Swear It Was Laundry Day!" 💥🐾

A cheeky pup with a very questionable taste in snacks. Last week, he decided his human’s underwear looked... delicious. 😳🩲

While foreign objects like this often require emergency surgery (and can be life-threatening), this one got very lucky. His “snack” became a self-eliminating foreign body, meaning it passed safely all on its own. 🫣💩

This patient is back to being his goofy self, and his owner is keeping the laundry well out of reach from now on. 😅🙈

🦴🐶😿 Why the Cone of Shame? It's Actually the Cone of Healing! 🐾✨

After sterilisation (spaying or neutering), your furry friend might come home wearing a cone, but don’t feel bad — it’s actually a very important part of their recovery! 🩺💙

👉 Why the cone?
It stops your pet from:
🔹 Licking or biting their stitches
🔹 Causing infections
🔹 Tearing open the wound
🔹 Delaying the healing process

Even a few seconds of licking can undo the vet's work and lead to complications that mean more vet visits, more stress, and more discomfort for your pet. 😢

🐾 It might look uncomfortable, but it’s temporary and it’s all for their safety. You can even ask your vet about soft or inflatable alternatives if your pet is struggling with the hard plastic type!
