As the weather gets colder, sore joints can become more noticeable, especially in our older cats and dogs. You might see little changes.

These signs can be easy to brush off as “just getting older”, but they may be your pet’s way of telling you they’re uncomfortable.

If you’ve noticed small changes in your cat or dog this winter, book a check-up with our team.

There are plenty of ways we can help keep them comfortable through the colder months. 💙🧡

Coco is here with a winter reminder for our Bendigo pets! 🐾
Even when it’s cold, bugs, bees, and little crawlies can still be hiding in gardens, sheds, firewood piles, and all the spots our pets love to sniff around.

What to do if your pet is bitten or stung:
✅ Stay calm and check the area.
✅ Use a cold compress to help with swelling.
📞 Call us on (03) 5443 7749 if they seem painful or the swelling is getting worse.

🚨 SEEK URGENT VET HELP if your pet develops facial swelling, vomits, collapses, or has trouble breathing.

A big thank you to sweet Coco for being our brave model! 🤎

🐱 Did you know cats sleep between 12–16 hours a day?

While it might seem like a lot, cats naturally need more rest than humans to conserve energy for hunting, exploring, playing, and those late-night zoomies. 🌙

A cat’s age can also affect how much they sleep. Kittens are still growing and developing, so they may sleep up to 20 hours a day, while senior cats often rest more as they slow down with age.

Tell us below, is your cat a full-time napper?

Let’s talk about something that gives us all a little extra peace of mind: Pet Insurance. 🐾

Insurance is about more than just the bill, it’s a safety net for those 'unpredictable' moments and a way to remove cost barriers so your best friend gets the care they deserve. Whether it’s an emergency or proactive preventative care, having a plan turns a scary "what now?" into a calm "let's go to the vet".

Friendly reminder: Every pet and policy is unique, so we always recommend chatting with your provider to see exactly what your specific plan covers.

🐰 Did you know rabbits can’t vomit?

Unlike cats and dogs, rabbits physically can’t throw up due to the way their digestive system works. Because of this, gut troubles and blockages can become serious very quickly.

Signs of GI stasis or digestive issues can include:
• Not eating
• Smaller or fewer droppings
• Lethargy
• Hunched posture
• Teeth grinding

Rabbits are very good at hiding illness, so even subtle changes can be important. If your bunny seems “off,” early veterinary care can make all the difference 💚

Exciting News: We’re Trialling GapOnly®! 🐾

What this means for you:
Instead of paying your full invoice upfront and waiting for a refund, you only pay the "gap", the difference between our invoice and your insurance benefit.

How it works:
1️⃣ Check-in: Mention your pet insurance to our team.
2️⃣ Claim: We’ll process your claim on the spot while you wait.
3️⃣ Payment: You only pay the remaining balance on the day!

Please note: We are currently in a trial phase and appreciate your patience. GapOnly® is available with eligible insurance providers only.

We want you to focus on getting your furry friends, like our pal Neo, back on their paws. 🧡

🍫 How much is too much?
Your Easter Chocolate Guide.

It only takes a moment for a curious nose to find the Easter stash. When it comes to chocolate, the "danger zone" depends on two things: your dog's weight and the type of chocolate they ate.

While chocolate is the most common Easter emergency, please keep these other holiday staples far away from your pets:

Raisins & Sultanas: Found in Hot Cross Buns. These can cause sudden, irreversible kidney failure in dogs. There is no safe dose.

Xylitol (Birch Sugar): Often found in "sugar-free" candies or baked goods. It causes a life-threatening drop in blood sugar and liver failure.

Macadamia Nuts: Can cause weakness, vomiting, and tremors.

Lilies: For our cat owners—these are highly toxic. Even a small amount of pollen can be fatal.

⚠️ Symptoms can be delayed, but the damage isn't. If you suspect your dog has indulged in the wrong kind of "hunt," don't wait for them to look sick.

Have a happy and safe Easter 🐣

If you’ve ever visited us around 6:00 PM on a Friday, you might have noticed things looking a little "extra" busy in our reception! 🐝✨

While the McIvor Road Vet staff are finishing their final discharges and getting day-patients settled, the Central Vet Emergency team is already through the door, triaging new arrivals and prepping for the night shift. 🏥
