🐾 Puppy Life: Chaos, then Snooze! 🐾

This is Dr Noriel’s dog, Wanda, as a puppy—fast asleep in the middle of her cardboard box “renovation project.” After all that hard work… she needed a nap! 😴💛

If your puppy leaves destruction in their wake (and then looks angelic while they sleep), here are some tips to help manage the mayhem:

✨ Burn off that energy
Walks, play, and training games go a long way to keeping puppies out of mischief.

✨ Chew this, not that
Safe chew toys, puzzle feeders, or frozen Kongs keep those little teeth busy—and away from your shoes!

✨ Toy swaps = excitement
Rotate toys every few days so they stay fresh and fun.

✨ Catch and redirect
If they start chewing the wrong thing, calmly swap it for something appropriate and reward them for choosing wisely.

✨ Puppy-proof your home
Tuck away shoes, cords, and socks (puppy favourites!) so temptation is out of sight.

✨ Brain games matter too
Scent games, puzzle feeders, and trick training are brilliant for mental stimulation.

✨ Not sure if it’s just mischief?
If your pup’s destruction mainly happens when you’re away, it may be a sign of anxiety. Make an appointment with us—we can help.

💛 Puppies may be messy, but they’re also magical. With patience, training, and the right outlets, they’ll grow into the best companions.

🍔🐶 International Hamburger Day Reminder: Keep the Burgers for the Humans! 🐱🍔

We’re all for celebrating delicious things—but when it comes to your pets, burgers are a no-go. Here are 5 reasons why you should skip sharing your hamburger with your furry friend:

Onions = Dangerous – Onions (and garlic) can cause serious damage to red blood cells in both cats and dogs.

Too Fatty – Greasy meat and cheese can upset your pet’s stomach or even trigger pancreatitis.

Seasonings Can Harm – Salt, spices, and sauces may be tasty to us, but they can be irritating to our pets digestion.

Bread Isn’t Ideal – Buns add carbs with little nutritional value.

Condiments & Add-Ons – Pickles, ketchup, mustard? Not made with pet health in mind and contain too much sugar.

Celebrate with an extra cuddle instead (and maybe a vet-approved treat).

Because at Sunshine Vet Clinic, it’s more cuddles, less struggles—not more cheeseburgers. 😉

😼🪥 Brushing a Cat’s Teeth: Not for the Faint of Heart

Attempting to brush a cat’s teeth is a bit like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube... while blindfolded... during a cyclone... with a suspiciously uncooperative furry gremlin.

Your cat: “You want to put WHAT in my mouth? On purpose??”
You: “It’s just chicken-flavoured toothpaste, I swear!”
Your cat: activates ninja mode and disappears under the couch for 3 days

We get it. It’s not easy. But even some dental care is better than none—and we’re here to help! From dental diets to gentle vet cleanings, we’ll make it easier (and safer) for everyone involved.

Because at Sunshine Vet Clinic, we believe in more cuddles, less struggles—even when toothbrushes are involved. 😹
