Just a pair of pups enjoying a dip in the pool! 🐕🏊🏻‍♂️

Swimming is a great way for dogs to cool off, exercise and stay fit. Swimming is a low impact exercise which is gentle on joints, great for building muscle and helpful for dogs suffering with arthritis, or recovery from an injury.

Swimming helps:
🏊🏻‍♂️ Improve mobility
🏊🏻‍♂️ Maintain fitness without pressure on the joints
🏊🏻‍♂️ Keep dogs active and cool in warmer months

Does your pup love swimming? Drop a picture in the comments below! 👇🐶

Did you know reptiles don’t hibernate? - they brumate! 🤔🦎

Brumation: Reptiles slow down during cold weather. They rest and conserve energy but they don’t go into a full sleep. Their metabolisms slow down and may eat little or no food. Occasionally they will move around for warmth and some water.

Hibernation: During winter months, a mammals body temperature drops and they enter into a deep sleep to conserve energy.

In warmer months, reptiles become active again - basking in the sun, moving around and searching for food. Keep an eye out for our scaly friends over the summer! ☀️🦎

Feeding a variety of foods is essential for your pet parrots health🦜🩺.

A common misconception is that seed only diets are fine for pet parrots! The truth is, seeds are high in fat and low in vitamin and nutrients. Seeds are a great treat, in moderation! 🌱

A healthy parrot diet should consist of:
🦜 A high quality pellet
🦜 Fresh Vegtables
🦜 Fruits and seeds as treats

This diet is appropriate for: budgies, cockteils, conures, cockatoos, macaws and lovebirds.

🚨 Although a parrot, lorikeets diet differs with their main nutrition source being necture, pollen, and fruit - not seeds and pellets.

Puppy nutritional requirements🐶🐾

Puppies grow fast and they need extra fuel to build muscles, strong bones and a healthy immune system🦴. Puppy food is packed with extra calories, nutrients and protein that support their developement.

High protein - supports growth and energy levels🏃‍♂️

Calcium and phosphorus - builds strong bones and healthy teeth🦷

Essential fatty acids - support brain and visual development🧠

Once they reach adulthood, it’s important to change their diet to a adult dog diet that has the right balance of nutrients and calories. An adult diet continues to support their overall wellbeing but also maintains a healthy body weight❤️.

We all know the cute smooshy french bulldog face - short nose and flat face! But did you know the scientific name for this face shape is called Brachycephalic?! 🐾

Although their face features make French bulldogs cute, they are prone to overheating in the warmer months🔥☀️.

Dogs primary cooling down mechanism is through panting. Due to the French bull dogs shortened nose, they are unable to pant as effeciently and therefore, overheat quicker🐶.

☀️ Keep Brachycephalic breeds cool in warmer months
☀️ Avoid over exercising
☀️ Choose cooler times of the day to go for walks
☀️ Never leave your pet in the car unattended

❄️ Cool treats - Freeze watermelon or carrot sticks for a fun treat!

💧 Fresh water - Adding ice cubes to your dogs water bowls make it refreshing.

🐚 A shell pool - Dogs can have a lay or splash in a kids shell pool to cool down!

🪭 Cooling mat - A great way for dogs and cats to have a comfortable nap.

⛱️ Shady spots - If leaving your pet outside, ensure they can access a cool shady area to rest.

🚶‍♂️ Walk times - choose cooler times of the day to walk your pets!

Healthy weight = healthy joints! 🐶

Overweight pets are at higher risk of joint problems including arthritis, hip and elbow problems and cruciate ligament tears. The extra kilos put additional strain on our pets joints and cause painful conditions overtime. The added pressure also means accidental injury is more common🐾🦴.

Even a small amount of weight loss can reduce the chance of joint related conditions. Keeping your pets at a healthy weight, comfortable and active is the key to a happy life! ❤️🐾

Need some help with your pets weight loss? Chat to one of our veterinarians who can tailor a plan for your pet! 🧑🏻‍⚕️🐶
