🦸‍♂️ Why Vaccinations Matter for Your Pet

A SUPERHERO SHIELD AGAINST DISEASE

Vaccinations are like a superhero’s shield - protecting your pet from dangerous and often fatal diseases. Just like us, pets rely on their immune system to fight off infections, and vaccines give them the upper hand by training their bodies to recognise and defeat threats before they strike.

💉 Annual vaccinations are just as important as those early puppy or kitten shots. Immunity fades over time, and boosters ensure your pet stays ready to fight off infections when they are challenged.

👩‍⚕️ The vaccination consult isn’t just about the jab - it’s also a vital general health check. Remember, one human year equals about seven animal years, so every annual visit is like a full seven-year check-up for your furry friend!

A quick appointment today can mean the difference between a long, happy, healthy life and devastating illness tomorrow. Protect your pet’s future - give them the shield they deserve.

A Spring Message from Dr. Gerjan & Dr. Orsilla 🌸🐾

“As seasons change, so do our pets’ needs. Spring is the perfect reminder to refresh their wellness routines, from parasite protection to regular check-ups. A healthy pet is a happy pet - and nothing makes us happier than seeing tails wag and whiskers twitch with joy.

This season, let’s celebrate not just the blossoms around us, but also the little moments of happiness we share with our pets. They make every day brighter.”

Wishing you and your furry companions a bright and cheerful Spring Day, filled with purrs, cuddles, and wagging tails! 🌼

SLOW AND STEADY: TORTOISE WELLNESS TIPS

Tortoises are calm companions - but don’t mistake that for low care needs!

South African tortoises are beloved by many families, but they need specific diets and outdoor time to stay healthy. At Eldoraigne Animal Clinic, we often see pyramiding from incorrect nutrition or indoor-only living. Avoid too much fruit and provide plenty of safe greens and sunshine. Never keep wild tortoises as pets - it’s illegal and harmful to ecosystems.

Quote: “Wisdom comes slowly, like a tortoise crossing a road.” – African Proverb

Fun Fact: Tortoises can live 50–100 years with proper care - owning one is a lifelong commitment!

Top Tip: Always provide shade and shallow water sources for hydration and cooling.

SLITHER SMART: SNAKE HEALTH ESSENTIALS 🐍🧡

Reptiles need regular check-ups too—especially our scaled friends!

Snakes are fascinating and low-maintenance in some ways—but they’re not “no-maintenance.” At Eldoraigne Animal Clinic, we treat issues like scale rot, shedding problems, respiratory infections, and parasite loads in snakes. A proper enclosure with the right temperature gradient and humidity is vital. Bring your snake in for annual health checks - even small changes in behaviour can signal serious health issues.

Quote: “The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.” – Henri Bergson

Fun Fact: Snakes have no eyelids - they protect their eyes with a clear scale called a spectacle!

Top Tip: Always clean your snake’s habitat with reptile-safe products and monitor humidity levels during shedding.
