🏷️🐾 It’s Microchip Month! 🐾🏷️

Did you know that a microchip is one of the simplest and most effective ways to help reunite lost pets with their families?

A microchip is a tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, that is implanted under your pet’s skin and contains a unique identification number. If your pet ever goes missing and is found by a vet clinic, council, or shelter, they can be scanned and quickly matched back to you.

The most important part? Keeping your contact details up to date! Even the best microchip won’t help if the phone number or address linked to it is no longer current.

During Microchip Month, now is the perfect time to:
✅ Check your pet’s microchip is working
✅ Ensure your contact details are current
✅ Microchip any pets that haven’t been chipped yet

Every year, countless pets are reunited with their families thanks to microchips. It’s a small step that can make a life-changing difference.

If you’re unsure whether your pet’s details are up to date, give us a call or pop into the clinic and we’d be happy to help! 🐶🐱❤️

Keeping your dog’s ears clean removes excess wax, dirt and moisture that can lead to irritation and infection, especially in dogs who love swimming or have floppy ears.
Signs your dog may need their ears checked:
• Scratching at ears
• Head shaking
• Redness or smell
• Excess wax or discharge
Not sure if your dog’s ears are healthy? Our team is always happy to help with ear checks, cleaning advice and treatment if needed 🐾 call us on 5447 1679

As the weather gets cooler, just like people, our pets can start to feel the effects of arthritis more too. 🐾❄️
Arthritis is a common condition in both dogs and cats, especially as they get older, and cooler temperatures can often make stiffness, joint pain and reduced mobility more noticeable. You might notice your pet becoming slower to get up, less interested in walks or play, reluctant to jump, or seeming generally less comfortable at home.

The good news is there are lots of ways we can help keep arthritic pets comfortable and happy through the colder months. This can include weight management, joint supplements, prescription pain relief, arthritis injections, soft warm bedding, and gentle exercise.

If you’ve noticed any changes in your pet’s movement or comfort levels, book them in for a check-up with our team. Early intervention can make a huge difference to their quality of life. 💙🐶🐱

Keep human food for humans! 🍫🍇 Many everyday foods like chocolate, grapes, onions, and xylitol (in sugar-free products) can be toxic to dogs. Even small amounts can cause serious health issues. If your pup sneaks something they shouldn’t, or you’re ever unsure what’s safe, don’t risk, contact your vet for advice straight away. Your dog’s safety always comes first!

🚨ATTENTION SUNSHINE COAST COMMUNITY 🚨

Do you have pre-loved towels hanging around that need a new purpose? We’d LOVE to give them a good home here at SCEH. Donations can be dropped off Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

🐴 Why would an equine clinic need towels?
Great question! Towels assist in soaking up fluids, making slings for our smaller patients, excellent pillows for sick patients, and every day use in surgery recover.

Your pre-loved towels can make a big difference for our four-legged patients.

Thank you for supporting Sunshine Coast Equine Hospital.
