**10% Discount!!**

Fleas are present all year round and it is critical to continue to prevent fleas during the winter months too so you do not get a huge flea burden come spring time.
Until the end of May we are offering a 10% discount if your dog gets the once a year flea and tick injection, this takes out having to remember when they last had a treatment and especially if you get it done all together with their vaccinations.
Fleas can lay up to 50 eggs a day and once these eggs have been laid it’s much harder to break the lifecycle. That’s why prevention is critical.

Congratulations to our March Puppy Preschool Graduates 🎓🐾

What a fantastic bunch of pups (and their humans!) they were. It’s been such a joy watching them learn, grow, and build confidence over the past few weeks.

Is your pet microchipped?

If you would like to book your pet in head to the link to book online
https://www.dmvs.com.au/book-online
or call us on 68849900

🐕 | One tiny chip, a huge step in pet safety!

All cats and dogs must be microchipped:
👉 By 12 weeks old, or
👉 Before being sold or adopted
Whichever comes first.

Whoever sells, gives away or rehomes the pet must ensure it is microchipped first. Though it is the responsibility of all pet sellers and owners to be informed of requirements.

Next steps? Within 28 days after microchipping takes place you can register your pet on NSW Pet Registry. Transfer of ownership or change of address or details can be updated on NSW Pet Registry afterwards to ensure your pet can be returned home to you if lost.

We recently had a very special visitor brought into the clinic — a racing pigeon! 🕊️

Have you heard of racing pigeons? These incredible birds are specially trained and raced across the country, some travelling remarkable distances to find their way home.

This particular pigeon was brought in by a kind member of the public. Thankfully, it had a leg band, which meant we were able to pass the details on to those in the racing pigeon community so they can help track down the owner.

It’s always fascinating to see the variety of animals that come through our doors! 🐾

It seems we’ve all been animal lovers from the very beginning. 💛

Can you guess who’s who? 👀🐶🐱
