Sweet boy Toby recently visited Dr. Olivia for a health check after his owners noticed some discomfort, head shaking, and scratching. After a thorough examination, Toby was prescribed ear medication for an infection and is already feeling much more comfortable!

Our pets can’t always tell us when something is wrong, so changes like scratching, head shaking, or unusual behaviour can be important signs that they may need a check-up. If your furry friend is showing any unusual symptoms or changes in behaviour, it’s always a good idea to book a check-up early.

To make an appointment with our team, visit https://thevillagevet.co/ or call us on (02) 6113 9996.

March is National Pet Poisons Awareness Month!

Many everyday foods and household items can be dangerous, even life-threatening for pets. Knowing what to avoid could make all the difference in the case of an emergency.

⚠️ Common pet toxins include:
• Alcohol
• Chocolate
• Coffee & caffeine
• Grapes, sultanas & raisins
• Macadamia nuts
• Xylitol (artificial sweetener)
• Bread dough
• Garlic, onions & chives
• Mouldy food

If your pet shows any signs of poisoning, such as vomiting, drooling, tremors, or seizures, don't wait.
Early intervention can save lives.

If you’re ever unsure, don’t hesitate to reach out to our friendly team!
