Happy International Cat Day!

It’s the purrfect day to spoil your special feline friend with extra cuddles and treats!

Did you know that Australians are gaga over cats, with approximately three felines in every 10 homes?!

That’s around 30 cats for every 100 people! 🐾❤

For this special day, here is a fun cat fact:

* Cats are scientifically gorgeous - With those sleek coats and large eyes, cats are an objectively beautiful animal. But did you know they’re also considered gorgeous by science?

Cats have extremely symmetrical faces, which makes them scientifically more beautiful than animals with less symmetry. No wonder we get gooey when we see a cute kitten!

Winter is here, but fleas and paralysis ticks aren’t taking a break!

Fleas and paralysis ticks are drawn to warmth, which means our warm homes during winter are the perfect spot to continue their life cycle and feed from your pets.

That’s why it’s crucial to ensure your pet is protected year-round against fleas and paralysis ticks.

To learn more about your pet’s treatment options, including Quantum - the once a year flea and tick prevention for dogs, call our clinic today!

Does My Cat Love Me?

It’s usually easy to tell if your dog loves you, but figuring out if your cat loves you can be a little harder. Just like people, each cat has its own personality and its own way of showing affection. Some cats love lots of attention, while others are more shy and show love in quieter ways.

Some signs might be:

* they sleep on you
* they slow blink
* they show their belly
* they groom you
* they follow you everywhere

Each cat is different, so they’ll show love to us in their own way. ❤🐾

👋 Meet Mitch!

You may have seen Mitch around the clinic over the past couple of weeks — he’s our wonderful vet student on placement!

Mitch, 6th-year veterinary student from the University of Adelaide, spent the past two weeks with us to gain hands-on experience. Originally from South Australia, Mitch was eager to explore the beautiful Mid North Coast and immerse himself in our busy clinic life.

He has a strong interest in small animal medicine and surgery, with a particular passion for ophthalmology 🐾👁.

When he’s not studying for his final exams, Mitch enjoys trail running, watching AFL and basketball, and hanging out with his Labrador, Kobe, and his bearded dragon, Walter 🐶🦎.

ATTENTION! Paralysis ticks are still around in Winter!!

While the paralysis tick is most active during spring and autumn, it can still be found in winter, particularly in coastal areas of eastern Australia, like our beautiful Port Macquarie.

Immature ticks or nymphs, are most active during winter months, and even adult ticks can be found, especially if the winter is mild. Therefore, it's crucial to remain vigilant and take preventative measures year-round to protect pets from tick paralysis, which can be fatal.

Is your pet is up to date with their tick prevention?

Call us if you need any advice on what products are available.

Do Dogs Have a Sense of Time?

Do you ever wonder if your dog can tell the time? While your dog might not look at the clock, most dogs do know when it's dinner time or time to go for a walk. How do they do this?

It's biological.

All animals have circadian rhythms - physical, mental, and behavioural changes that follow a 24-hour cycle, responding to light and darkness in the environment. They may also be affected by factors like temperature and social cues.

An animal's response to these rhythms is coordinated by the brain. This internal mechanism controlling our regular activities is often called our biological clock.

Circadian rhythms and biological clocks let us recognise that when it becomes light, we start feeling hungry, or when it gets dark, we become sleepy.

No wonder they always seem to know what's going on!
