Look who stopped by the clinic! Meet Maple and Cherry, two absolute sweethearts who popped in for an ear check.

Poodles and curly-coated breeds with floppy ears can sometimes be a bit more prone to trapped moisture and wax buildup, so routine ear checks are a fantastic way to stay ahead of any itchiness or discomfort and keep those ears happy and healthy.

Both pups were absolute champions throughout their visit and handled their checkups like total pros.🐾❤️

🕷️ PARALYSIS TICKS: KNOW THE SIGNS

While we're fortunate that the Snowy Mountains is considered a low-risk area for paralysis ticks, many local pets travel with their families to coastal regions and other tick-prone areas where the risk is much higher.

If you're planning a trip away with your pet, prevention is essential. We recommend ensuring your pet is protected with an effective tick preventative, such as NexGard Spectra, before travelling.

Prevention is always better than treatment:
✔ Keep tick prevention up to date
✔ Perform regular tick searches
✔ Know the warning signs

Signs of tick paralysis may include:
• Weakness
• Incoordination
• Vomiting
• Collapse
• Difficulty breathing

If you are concerned your pet may have a paralysis tick, please contact us straight away. Early treatment gives the best chance of a successful recovery.

🐾 Stay vigilant, stay protected, and enjoy the outdoors safely with your pets.

🐍 WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IF YOUR PET ENCOUNTERED A SNAKE? 🐾

​Snake bites can happen in seconds, but taking the right steps immediately can save your pet's life! If you suspect or know your pet has been near a snake, follow these crucial steps:

​ 🛑 1. Do NOT try to catch or kill the snake – Never put yourself in danger or delay emergency care.

🩺 2. Keep calm – Extra movement causes venom to spread faster through the bloodstream.

🚙 3. Call your vet IMMEDIATELY – Let them know you're coming so they can prepare.

​The only way to confirm a snake bite is through veterinary diagnostics like blood tests. Delaying a visit wastes valuable time—every minute counts!

​📌 Save this post so you have it ready when you need it, and share this with a fellow pet parent!
