Snake season is here! 🐍 🌿
As the weather warms up, snakes become more active and become more common around homes, gardens and walking areas.

If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake, contact the closest vet clinic immediately.

⚠️ Don’t wait for symptoms to appear as early treatment can make a huge difference.

Stay snake aware, keep your pets close, and enjoy the warmer weather safely! ☀️🐶🐱

Snakes have already been spotted🐍

As the weather warms up, both snakes and ticks are becoming active in our area. 🚨

In the last few weeks we have already started seeing snake and tick patients, please ensure your pet is up-to date with their tick prevention, and stick to clear paths around bush areas and keep your pet on leash around long grass and water.

Seek emergency veterinary care immediately if you notice any early warning signs including:
- Labored or noisy breathing
- Weakness or wobbliness (Especially in the hind limbs)
- Vomiting or retching
- Difficulty swallowing
- Collapse

If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake or exposed to a paralysis tick, contact us immediately. Early treatment saves lives!

Stay safe and enjoy the spring sunshine!

🌈 Today is rainbow Bridge remembrance day 🌈

Today is a day created to honour all the cherished pets who have passed away 🐾

💕 No longer by our side, forever in our hearts 💔🌸

“I thought of you today
But that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
And will tomorrow too

I think of you in silence
And make no outward show
For what it meant to lose you
Only those who love you know

Remembering you is easy
I do it everyday
It’s just the heartache of losing you
That will never go away”

Here are some of our adorable and forever loved angels

🐱 Meet Peanut! 🐱
When little Peanut was diagnosed with FIP (feline infectious peritonitis), his future looked frighteningly uncertain. Thankfully, he was able to receive treatment with the GS-441524 antiviral drug, and he has made a fantastic recovery! 💛🐱

Until 2021, an FIP diagnosis was almost a guaranteed death sentence for cats. Today, advances in treatment have transformed the outlook for cats with this devastating disease, giving patients like Peanut a chance at a happy, healthy life.

We’re so incredibly proud of this brave little fighter and thrilled to see him thriving! 🥰
