🐱 Treating your cat doesn’t have to compromise their health! Many commercial treats are high in calories and low in nutritional value. Instead, try:
✅ Small pieces of cooked chicken or turkey (no seasonings)
✅ Tiny bits of tuna
✅ Freeze-dried meat treats

Remember—treats should make up no more than 10% of your cat’s daily caloric intake. For food-motivated cats, you can even use their regular kibble as treats throughout the day. 🍗

⚠️ Did you know obesity can reduce your dog’s lifespan by up to 2.5 years? Extra weight puts strain on joints and increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems.

Even a few extra kilos can have a significant impact on your pet’s health. Fortunately, weight management is achievable through proper diet, portion control, and regular exercise.

If your pet is overweight, we can help create a safe weight loss plan tailored to their needs. Book a weight consultation with us today! 🐾

How good is a before and after shot?! 🦷

Dr Gemma and Nurse Annabel teamed up recently to help each other with their pets’ dental cleans. Latte and Bea must be loving their new sparkly smiles! 🥰🐶

🐕 Can you feel your dog’s ribs? You should be able to easily feel them with a slight fat covering—but not see them.

Looking from above, your dog should have a visible waistline, and from the side, the abdomen should tuck up. Regular body condition scoring helps detect weight changes early. Extra weight strains joints and organs, while being too thin may indicate illness.

Not sure if your pet is at an ideal weight? Ask us during your next visit! 🏥

🎾 Tennis balls may seem like the perfect dog toy, but regular chewing can cause significant dental wear. The fuzzy exterior is highly abrasive—like sandpaper on your dog’s teeth!

Over time, this can wear down enamel and lead to painful dental issues. If your dog loves tennis balls, use them for fetch only and put them away after play. Choose dental-friendly chew toys instead, and remember that annual dental checks are essential. 🦷

Book a dental check with us to keep your pet’s teeth in top shape!

🥏 While frisbee can be a great way to exercise and bond with your dog, it also comes with risks. The jumping, twisting, and sudden stops during play can strain cruciate ligaments, especially in larger breeds.

If your dog loves frisbee, start with low throws, play on soft surfaces, and keep sessions short. Always warm up with a gentle walk first, and watch for signs of fatigue. Consider lower-impact alternatives for dogs with joint issues.

Want to know if frisbee is safe for your dog’s joints? Book a check-up with our team!

✂️ Indoor dogs don’t naturally wear down their nails like those who walk on rough surfaces daily. Overgrown nails can cause pain, affect posture, and even lead to joint issues over time.

Regular trimming (every 3-4 weeks) keeps nails at a healthy length. If you hear clicking on hard floors, it’s time for a trim! Not comfortable doing it yourself? Our clinic offers nail trim services and can teach you the proper technique. 🐶

Olive vs. a potential corn cob 🌽

We need to show off Olive’s hair style before her induction of emesis! Last Friday, Olive’s mum had suspicions that she may have eaten a corn cob. Off she rushed to the Vet for a few vomits, in which we found many corn kernels but no cob. An abdominal ultrasound and radiographs did not convincingly show a corn cob so Olive was free to go home for close monitoring. Her mum has since reported that she is doing very well! 🐶🩷

🐾 Is your indoor cat getting enough exercise? Cats need regular activity to stay healthy and mentally stimulated. Try interactive toys like feather wands, laser pointers (with a treat reward at the end), or treat puzzles.

Creating vertical spaces with cat trees or shelves gives them room to climb and jump. Even 10-15 minutes of play twice daily can make a big difference to your cat’s health and happiness! 🎾

Need advice on keeping your cat active? Book a check-up with us today!
