25% Discount!!
Essential to start flea treatment prior to spring...
Fleas are present all year round however we see a major increase when spring hits. Fleas can lay up to 50 eggs a day. Once these eggs have been laid its much harder to break the lifecycle. That’s why prevention is critical.
Fleas can cause anaemia in our pets too.
Luckily we have a number of products to suit your pet including an injection for dogs to cover them from fleas and ticks for a full year!
25% Discount until this Saturday on our Flea and Tick injection which last 1 full year!
Then 10% discount until the end of August.
Give us a call to book in!

Over the weekend the Annual Vet Student Visit returned to Dubbo with 70 eager Veterinary students from CSU Wagga Wagga and The University of Sydney, and were treated to a weekend full of learning about what Dubbo and the region has to offer. They visited the , toured the Dubbo Vet Clinics, had a delicious dinner at with Vets from nearby towns, and industry representatives. Early Sunday they did the early morning walk with the amazing volunteers out there and were even treated to a discussion with the Zoos wildlife hospital Veterinarians. With this all expenses paid trip including travel and accomodation we were able to host them over the weekend and give them some insights into different Veterinary opportunities and showcase our (biased) but amazing region. We can’t wait to see some of them back for placements and fingers crossed living in our region in a number of years to come and helping look after YOUR pets.

A weekend like this certainly could not happen without the support (and funding) from amazing businesses backing it.
So THANK YOU to:
Idexx Laboratories
Dubbo Regional Council
Regional Development Australia - The Welcome Experience
Apiam Animal Health
Boehringer Ingelheim
Hills Pet Nutrition
Taranga Western Plains Zoo
MSD Animal Health
Provet
Interpath Global

We hope you all had a great time!

Over the weekend Duncan, Maria and Lauren travelled to Wagga Wagga to chat to the students. We met such a great bunch of students who will be graduating as future Veterinarians in a few years, and I’m sure they will go on to be very caring to your lucky pets (and livestock).

Cold Weather, sees an increase in RODENTICIDE POISONING.
With the cold weather we often see an increase in mice and rats moving into our warm homes. In turn brings more rat bait being around and unfortunately more pets with rodenticide poisoning.
These baits interfere with blood clotting factors. Signs of poisoning could be: External bleeding that won’t stop, Pale gums, Lethargy with breathing difficulty, Nose bleeds, Urine or faeces becomes really dark.

The Frosty Days Are Here!
Chilly winds, frosts and low temperatures can bring discomfort to our pets, especially those that live outdoors, but there are simple steps that can make our pets warm up to winter.
Make sure your pets have a spot sheltered from the wind and rain, and maybe they are due for some updated bedding to keep them up off the cold ground. They could also benefit from a jacket especially overnight.
Come the cooler months we also see a large increase in Arthritis symptoms, if your older dog is struggling to get up out of bed, seems more stiff and sore, licking joints or reluctant to walk or play, please book an appointment so we can help make them more comfortable during this colder period.
We can't all be under a heat lamp like Nurse Lauren's Beaded Dragon Sprocket and I'm sure there are some wonderful and creative ways our community keep their pets warm, so please feel free to share a photo or ideas in the comments.
