Meet Frankie and Ned!
These cuties went on an adventure last week and Ned ended up with some nasty cobblers pegs stuck in the skin on his belly! His Mum pulled out what she could but thought it best to get a vet to remove the rest.
These pesky little cobblers pegs can travel in under the skin and causes abscesses, pain and infection and depending on where they are located on your pet can cause different reactions.
Regular grooming and checking your pet after outdoor excursions is always recommended and always best to get them checked out if you suspect an issue before a more severe problem develops!

Meet Benji and Lexi!

These two visited our clinic yesterday for their vaccinations!
Vaccinations are the key to your dog's health to keep them protected against preventable diseases such as Canine distemper, Canine hepatitis, Canine parvovirus and kennel cough.

Remember your vet is best placed to advise on what vaccination your companion animal requires, so be sure to have regular check ups and follow your vet's advice!

Meet Poppy!

Poppy has recently been adopted and visited our clinic this week to be desexed!

Desexing in cats is just as important as vaccinating and worming. It plays a crucial role in your cat's overall health preventing a range of diseases, unwanted behaviours and unwanted litters.

Did you know that your female cat can have kittens of her own as young as four months old and the heat cycle is repeated every three weeks? It is easy to see why rescues and shelters are inundated with cats and kittens looking for homes!

If you would like to book in to desex your cat or require further information please feel free to contact our clinic.

Meet Clover!

Clover the Cutie visited us today to have her nails trimmed by one of our nurses. Seems like such a simple thing but neglecting your dog's nails can have unexpected consequences for their health causing injuries and possible arthritis.
Luckily for Clover, her pawrents have her nails clipped regularly to keep her comfortable and safe. If this is something that maybe your pet needs, please talk to our staff next time your are in the clinic.

Meet Red! This handsome boy is currently being treated at our clinic for Heartworm. Red's Mum rescued him a little while back only to find out that he was heartworm positive and took steps to get him healthy again.

For those that don't realise, heartworm is a serious and potentially fatal disease that can occur in dogs and cats but it is also so easy to prevent. Treatment takes months, is costly, requires strict confinement and is quite stressful for your pet.

There are several options to prevent heartworm, the simplest being a yearly injection but discuss with your vet to find which option is best for you.
