Sometimes itโ€™s obvious.

Youโ€™re filling the bowl more often.

Theyโ€™re asking to go outside more.

Or maybe youโ€™ve just caught yourself thinkingโ€ฆ

โ€œHang onโ€ฆ this seems like a lot.โ€

Sometimes increased drinking is completely harmless.

Hot weather, more activity, or a change in diet can all make pets thirstier than usual.

But when the change feels sudden, noticeable, or keeps happening, itโ€™s worth paying attention.

Increased drinking can sometimes be an early sign of things happening beneath the surface, including:

- kidney disease
- diabetes
- hormonal conditions
- urinary issues
- infections
- or even side effects from medication

The tricky part is that many pets still seem completely normal at first.

Theyโ€™re eating. Happy. Acting like themselves.

And thatโ€™s exactly why these changes are easy to brush off.

What we often say is:

you know your pet best.

If something feels different, even if you canโ€™t quite explain why, itโ€™s worth noticing.

One of the first things we usually ask is:

How much are they actually drinking?

Because โ€œmore than usualโ€ matters, even if it doesnโ€™t seem dramatic.

A simple way to think about it:

A thirsty day = usually normal

A thirsty pattern = worth checking ๐Ÿพ

Sometimes itโ€™s nothing to worry about.

Sometimes itโ€™s one of the earliest clues that something else is going on.

๐Ÿ‘‰ If your pet seems thirstier than usual, or youโ€™re noticing changes in drinking or toileting, feel free to get in touch. Weโ€™re always happy to guide you.

Moose was back in for a revisit consult with Dr Jodie today! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™

Looking a little unsure about the whole situation, Moose made sure to keep a close eye on Dr Jodie while she checked on his progress. Thankfully, this handsome boy was on his best behaviour and enjoyed plenty of cuddles along the way. We love seeing our patients return for their follow-up visits and watching them continue to improve! ๐Ÿถโœจ

Handsome Paddy stopped by for a dental procedure as well as stifle and spinal x-rays. He soaked up all the cuddles from Nurse Alana and was the perfect patient from start to finish. ๐Ÿ’œ

Some of you may recognise this sweet face ๐Ÿฅน Paddy is the much-loved boy of Katie from the hydrotherapy next door!
We hope youโ€™re feeling much better, Paddy, and enjoying plenty of well-deserved rest and treats at home. ๐Ÿฆดโœจ

๐Ÿถ Thinking about desexing your dog but not sure when the right time is?

One of the most common questions we hear from pet parents is:

โ€œWhen should I desex my dog?โ€

The answer is not always one size fits all.

Your dogโ€™s breed, size, lifestyle, and overall health can all play a role in deciding the right timing. Many pet owners also want to better understand the benefits, costs, and what to expect before making a decision.

Desexing may help reduce the risk of certain health conditions, prevent unwanted litters, and in some cases influence hormone related behaviours.

But every pet is different, and it is important to make the decision that is right for your dog.

We have put together a helpful guide covering:
๐Ÿพ Timing by age and breed
๐Ÿพ Costs and what is included
๐Ÿพ Health and behavioural considerations
๐Ÿพ Common questions pet owners ask

A lot of cat owners assume hairballs are just part of having a cat.

And sometimes, they are.

Cats groom themselves constantly, which means they naturally swallow fur. Most of the time, that hair passes through the digestive system without a problem.

But when hairballs become frequent, itโ€™s worth paying attention.

An occasional hairball every now and then may not be concerning.

What we start to think more about is when:

โœ… Itโ€™s happening regularly
โœ… Your cat is vomiting often, even without producing a hairball
โœ… Theyโ€™re gagging or retching frequently
โœ… Thereโ€™s a change in appetite or weight
โœ… They seem uncomfortable or are grooming excessively

Sometimes itโ€™s not actually โ€œjust hairballs.โ€

Frequent vomiting can be linked to:

โœ… Overgrooming from stress or anxiety
โœ… Fleas or skin irritation causing excessive grooming
โœ… Diet sensitivities
โœ… Gut inflammation
โœ… Constipation
โœ… Other underlying health issues

Long-haired cats can be more prone to hairballs, but short-haired cats can get them too.

There are also ways to help:

โœ… Regular brushing to reduce loose fur
โœ… Diet changes or hairball-support foods
โœ… Making sure your cat stays well hydrated
โœ… Managing underlying skin or flea issues if grooming has increased

A simple way to think about it:

๐Ÿฑ The occasional hairball = often normal
๐Ÿพ Frequent vomiting = worth checking

Because sometimes what looks like a hairball problem is actually your cat trying to tell us something else is going on.

๐Ÿ‘‰ If your cat is vomiting more often than usual, or something doesnโ€™t feel quite right, itโ€™s always okay to ask.
