Don't forget that the Heartworm Amnesty is still running! And what does that mean... 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐌 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐒

During this Amnesty period (September and October 2026), heartworm tests will be free for any dog (older than 6 months) that is currently on irregular monthly treatments, lapsed yearly treatments by longer than 3 months or no treatment at all. To qualify for the free test a dog must receive a yearly heartworm injection during the same consult. This will protect your dog for the next year and will kill any larvae that have been recently acquired in the previous 3 months. This is also the first step in treatment of a heartworm infected dog in the unfortunate event that a test returns positive.

If you have any doubts as to whether your dog is heartworm free, now is the time to contact us and protect your dog from the terrible effects of heartworm!

03/10/2026

The Townsville Vet Clinic will be closed on Monday 5 October 2026 for the King's Birthday Public Holiday.

For any animal emergencies during this time, please call the clinic on 07 4779 0233 and follow the prompts to speak to an on-call veterinarian.

Enjoy your long weekend !

⚠️ DOG PARENTS: This is your sign to check the calendar.

Did your pup get their heartworm preventative this month? 🗓️👇
Missing even ONE single dose leaves a dangerous window of opportunity for mosquitoes to transmit heartworm larvae.

Why consistency matters:
• Preventatives kill larvae from the previous month.
• A missed dose allows larvae to mature into adult worms.
• Adult heartworms cause permanent damage to the heart and lungs.
• Prevention is easy; treatment is painful and costly.

Oops, already missed a month? Don't panic, but don't double up on medication either. Call us to discuss your options and to see if your dog needs a quick heartworm test before restarting. 🩺🐾

Horses, unlike other pets, have Hypsodont teeth which means their teeth continuously erupt throughout their life. As horses chew, the grinding slowly wears the teeth down to keep them at the right length above the gum. The amount that the teeth wear depends on a horse’s diet and environment and varies between all horses. Floating (rasping the horse’s teeth) the sharp edges to bring the teeth back to a flat surface is the primary goal of routine equine dentistry. Some of the signs that a horse needs a dental are dropping feed while chewing, eating slowly, resistance or head shaking when using a bridle bit and weight loss.
When horses get into their 20’s their teeth are coming to an end and this is often when more issues arise. If there are abnormalities, it is generally recommended to have the teeth floated every 3-6 months. If your horse is now in their senior years and showing symptoms of poor dentition, make sure to book in for a dental on 4779 0233.

During our Dental Months (September/October), horses of any age having a dental in-clinic on weekdays will receive a 15% discount. Also, don't forget our popular Hendra/ Dental promotion which is available either in-clinic or at your property.

For any dental related questions or to book an appointment, please call the Townsville Vet Clinic on 4779 0233.

🦷 Free Dental Checks for Cats & Dogs! 🐶🐱

✔ Assess your pet’s dental score
✔ Identify if a professional dental clean may be needed
✔ Check for gum disease, loose or damaged teeth, and oral infections
✔ Discuss any areas of concern and preventative care options

Early detection helps prevent pain, tooth loss, bad breath, and more serious health problems affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Give your pet the gift of a healthy smile — book their free dental check today! 🦷

September and October are our Dental months so don't forget to ask about the discount on dental procedures.
