It’s that time of the year again! You’re rounding up a basket of Easter eggs, planning the "sniffari" hunt, and bracing for a few sugar meltdowns. But while chocolate may cause havoc with kids, it’s even worse for dogs and cats! ❌🍫
Chocolate can lead to serious health issues for our furry friends, from upset stomachs to dangerous reactions. So as you hide eggs and fill baskets, make sure chocolate is out of paws’ reach!

📌Durban North, KwaZulu Natal
Sophie is a gentle 14-year-old senior Maltese female searching for her retirement home. Having recently lost her human dad and with her mom needing to return to her home country, this sweet senior girl is facing an urgent need for a new loving family. Despite her age and sensory challenges, Sophie’s affectionate nature and easy-going personality make her an ideal companion for the right home. Her story reminds us that senior dogs often have so much love left to give—they simply need someone willing to open their heart and home during their golden years.

Urgent Retirement Home Needed‼️
Sophie’s situation is time-sensitive as her human mom must soon return to her home country. The veterinarian has advised against Sophie traveling at her age, making finding a local forever home critical. We’re hoping to have Sophie settled into her new loving home before her current owner must leave.

🐰🐣 This Easter, let the only bunnies and chicks in your basket be chocolate ones. 🍫💛

Every year, real animals are handed out as gifts without thought for their needs—only to end up abandoned or surrendered when the reality or responsibility sets in.

Rabbits are social, smart, and sensitive—with fragile digestive systems and a dislike for being handled. Chicks? Delicate, messy, and possibly roosters-in-disguise.

Don’t turn a holiday gesture into a lifetime of suffering. Cute is never a good enough reason for getting a pet. Read more about the needs of rabbits and chickens here https://pulse.ly/ij3z5d5kdx and if you think a rabbit is right for your family, consider adoption: https://capespca.co.za/adopt/other-animals/

Veterinarians 🩺 are true healthcare heroes, and we'll tell you why!

If you think about the work of veterinarians, you probably imagine a veterinary clinic and pets as patients, but... Did you know that the work of the veterinary profession goes much further? We'll tell you about some of their areas of espertise!

- They look after the health of pets From disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, surgery, behavioural assessment, nutrition, ... Everything necessary to ensure the health of our life companions in all areas.
- Veterinarians play a key role in the prevention, control and eradication of zoonoses, which are animal diseases that can be transmitted to humans. Thanks to their work, they protect us all.
- They monitor food safety. They control the quality of products of animal origin, from their production on the farm until they reach our homes, thus avoiding risks to our health.
- They protect wildlife and the environment. Their work also helps to conserve species and maintain the balance of ecosystems.

The vet is your pet's best friend!
We encourage you to tag vets you know to say THANK YOU for taking care of all of us
