🤎🐣 Keep your pet safe this Easter! 🐣🤎

Easter is a time for chocolate, celebrations, and family—but it can also be a dangerous time for our pets.

⚠️ Chocolate is toxic to dogs and cats!

🚨 Signs of chocolate toxicity include:
• Vomiting & diarrhoea
• Restlessness or hyperactivity
• Increased heart rate
• Tremors or seizures

🍬 It’s not just chocolate!
Easter goodies like hot cross buns and sweets can also be harmful due to ingredients like raisins, sultanas, and artificial sweeteners.

🐾 Keep your pets safe:
• Store all Easter treats well out of reach
• Remind children not to share chocolate with pets
• Be mindful of hidden eggs around the house or yard

If you suspect your pet has eaten chocolate or any toxic food, contact your vet immediately—early treatment can be lifesaving.

Let’s keep Easter fun and safe for every member of the family 💛🐶🐰

⚠️ Bat Safety Alert ⚠️

Due to displacement from Cyclone Narrelle, bats are being found more frequently on the ground and in unusual areas. This increases the risk of pets and people coming into contact with them.

🦇 Why this matters:
Bats in Australia can carry Australian Bat Lyssavirus (ABLV) – a virus closely related to rabies that can cause serious and potentially fatal illness if transmitted through a bite or scratch. (Health, Disability and Ageing AU)

🚫 Important reminders:
• Do NOT handle bats – even if they appear injured or dead
• Keep pets well away from bats
• Only trained, vaccinated wildlife carers should manage bats

🐾 If your pet has had contact with a bat:
• Prevent further contact immediately
• Contact your vet urgently for advice

👤 If you or someone else is bitten or scratched:
• Wash the wound thoroughly for at least 15 minutes
• Seek urgent medical attention

💡 Any bat in Australia should be treated as a potential carrier of ABLV, even if it looks healthy. (NT Health)

📞 If you find an injured or distressed bat, contact a wildlife rescue group;
Woolleybutt - 0409 941 584
Wildcare - 0408 885 341
Darwin Wildlife Sanctuary - 0473 992 581

Let’s keep both our community and wildlife safe! ❤️

🎄✨ Christmas & New Year Pet Safety✨🎄

The festive season is a wonderful time for family, friends… and our pets! However, Christmas and New Year can also bring hidden dangers for our furry companions. Here are a few important things to keep in mind:

🍫 Festive Foods
Chocolate, grapes/raisins, alcohol, onions, garlic, macadamia nuts and xylitol (found in many sweets and sugar-free products) can be toxic to pets. Please keep all festive treats well out of reach.

🎁 Decorations & Wrapping
Tinsel, ribbons, ornaments and wrapping can look like fun toys but can cause serious intestinal blockages if swallowed. Keep decorations secured and clean up scraps promptly.

🌸 Plants
Many popular Christmas plants such as lilies, poinsettias and mistletoe can be harmful to pets. Always check plant safety before bringing them into your home.

🍖 Bones & Fatty Foods
Cooked bones can splinter and cause choking or internal injuries, while fatty foods can lead to pancreatitis. Stick to pet-safe treats instead.

🎆 Fireworks & Loud Noises
Fireworks and parties can be frightening for many animals. Provide a safe, quiet space, keep pets secure indoors, and ensure microchip details are up to date.

🚗 Holiday Travel & Visitors
Open doors, unfamiliar visitors and busy households increase the risk of pets escaping. Double-check gates and remind guests to be mindful.

If your pet is unwell please don’t hesitate to give us a call ❤️
The following is our Christmas and New year opening times;

CHRISTMAS 🎄
23/12 - Open 8am - 6pm
24/12 - Open 8am - 6pm
25/12 - Closed (Litchfield Vets - EMERGENCY on call)
