Brrr! The chilly weather is setting in & just like us, our pets feel it too.

Older cats & dogs can really struggle in the cold. Arthritis & joint stiffness can flare up, making it harder for them to get around comfortably. You might notice them moving slower, hesitating to jump/climb or even seeming a bit grumpier than usual.

A few ways to help them through the cold:
• Provide soft, warm bedding away from draughts
• Use pet jackets for extra warmth
• Consider pet-safe heat packs or heating pads
• Keep up with any prescribed arthritis treatments
• Gentle indoor exercise to keep joints moving

And don’t forget, ticks are still around - even in the middle of winter! It’s vital to keep up with regular tick prevention all year round.

If you’re unsure about the best option for your pet or want to discuss winter joint support please phone our clinic on - 66 423 681
We’re here to help keep your furry family members happy & healthy. 💙

🚨PARVOVIRUS‼️
We have recently had a patient test POSITIVE to parvovirus.

Parvovirus is a highly contagious & life-threatening disease that attacks a dog’s gastrointestinal tract & immune system. Parvo can cause severe vomiting, bloody diarrhoea, dehydration & even death.

💉Parvo is preventable!
Vaccination is the best way to protect your dogs from this disease. Puppies are especially susceptible because their immune systems aren’t fully developed, which is why following the recommended vaccination schedule is vital.

Make sure your pup is protected:
✅ Begin vaccinations from 6–8 weeks of age
✅ Complete the full vaccine course
✅ Keep your pup away from unvaccinated dogs & high traffic areas until fully vaccinated
✅ Maintain annual booster vaccinations

If you have any questions about your dog’s vaccination status or need to book an appointment, we’re here to help.
Call us on 66 423 681 during our opening hours.

Let’s work together to keep our furry friends safe & healthy! 💙

TICK ALERT‼️

Think tick season is over now that it’s winter? Think again!

We’re still seeing cases of tick paralysis in pets. While ticks are usually more active in warmer weather, they can still pose a serious risk year-round, especially in our region.

Please don’t let your guard down.
Keep up with regular tick prevention for your pets. It could save their life.

✅ Check your pet daily
✅ Use vet-recommended preventatives
✅ Book in if you notice any signs of weakness, wobbly legs, vomiting or changes in breathing

If you’re unsure what prevention is best for your pet, please give us a call — we’re here to help!

Happy Take Your Dog to Work Day!

Today’s the day we officially celebrate what we’re lucky enough to enjoy every day, having adorable dogs around while we work.

Whether they’re helping out at reception (aka napping under the desk), supervising consults, or simply boosting morale with tail wags & puppy eyes, we love our furry co-workers.

Drop a picture of your pup at your workplace, we’d love to see them hard at work (or hardly working)!
