🐶 Large breed puppies are especially vulnerable to joint injuries during growth. Until they’re fully mature (12-24 months), avoid high-impact activities like jumping, long-distance running, or rough play on slippery floors.

Instead, choose gentle games like food puzzles, short leash walks, and supervised swimming. These activities build muscle without stressing developing joints. Proper nutrition with controlled calcium levels is also vital for healthy joint development. 🦴

Concerned about your puppy’s joints? Book a growth check with our vets!

🐱 Treating your cat doesn’t have to compromise their health! Many commercial treats are high in calories and low in nutritional value. Instead, try:
✅ Small pieces of cooked chicken or turkey (no seasonings)
✅ Tiny bits of tuna
✅ Freeze-dried meat treats

Remember—treats should make up no more than 10% of your cat’s daily caloric intake. For food-motivated cats, you can even use their regular kibble as treats throughout the day. 🍗

⚠️ Did you know obesity can reduce your dog’s lifespan by up to 2.5 years? Extra weight puts strain on joints and increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems.

Even a few extra kilos can have a significant impact on your pet’s health. Fortunately, weight management is achievable through proper diet, portion control, and regular exercise.

If your pet is overweight, we can help create a safe weight loss plan tailored to their needs. Book a weight consultation with us today! 🐾

🐕 Can you feel your dog’s ribs? You should be able to easily feel them with a slight fat covering—but not see them.

Looking from above, your dog should have a visible waistline, and from the side, the abdomen should tuck up. Regular body condition scoring helps detect weight changes early. Extra weight strains joints and organs, while being too thin may indicate illness.

Not sure if your pet is at an ideal weight? Ask us during your next visit! 🏥

🎾 Tennis balls may seem like the perfect dog toy, but regular chewing can cause significant dental wear. The fuzzy exterior is highly abrasive—like sandpaper on your dog’s teeth!

Over time, this can wear down enamel and lead to painful dental issues. If your dog loves tennis balls, use them for fetch only and put them away after play. Choose dental-friendly chew toys instead, and remember that annual dental checks are essential. 🦷

Book a dental check with us to keep your pet’s teeth in top shape!

🥏 While frisbee can be a great way to exercise and bond with your dog, it also comes with risks. The jumping, twisting, and sudden stops during play can strain cruciate ligaments, especially in larger breeds.

If your dog loves frisbee, start with low throws, play on soft surfaces, and keep sessions short. Always warm up with a gentle walk first, and watch for signs of fatigue. Consider lower-impact alternatives for dogs with joint issues.

Want to know if frisbee is safe for your dog’s joints? Book a check-up with our team!

✂️ Indoor dogs don’t naturally wear down their nails like those who walk on rough surfaces daily. Overgrown nails can cause pain, affect posture, and even lead to joint issues over time.

Regular trimming (every 3-4 weeks) keeps nails at a healthy length. If you hear clicking on hard floors, it’s time for a trim! Not comfortable doing it yourself? Our clinic offers nail trim services and can teach you the proper technique. 🐶

🐾 Is your indoor cat getting enough exercise? Cats need regular activity to stay healthy and mentally stimulated. Try interactive toys like feather wands, laser pointers (with a treat reward at the end), or treat puzzles.

Creating vertical spaces with cat trees or shelves gives them room to climb and jump. Even 10-15 minutes of play twice daily can make a big difference to your cat’s health and happiness! 🎾

Why is a regular vaccination schedule so important for your dog? 🐶💉

One of the diseases that the canine C3 vaccine protects against is parvovirus. This highly contagious virus damages a dog’s gut and immune system.

⚠️ Symptoms of parvovirus include:
❌ Lethargy and weakness
❌ Vomiting 🤢
❌ Bloody diarrhoea 💩
❌ Severe dehydration and cardiovascular shock

Affected pets may die even with veterinary treatment. The best way to protect your dog is by keeping them up to date with regular C3 vaccinations.

📞 Book your dog’s vaccination today to keep them safe from parvovirus!

Before we vaccinate your pet, you may see us take their temperature – why is this? 🌡️

If your pet tolerates the rather ahem personal procedure of re**al temperature measurement, this information helps us assess their general health and ensure that they are a good candidate for vaccination. 🏥

If your pet’s temperature is elevated, it may simply indicate stress, or it could suggest an active inflammatory or infectious process that warrants further investigation before a vaccine can be safely administered.

🐾 Have concerns about your pet’s health before vaccination? Our team is here to help—book a check-up today!

However, rest assured that our feline-friendly team is here to help. We can ensure that your pet has a smooth and low-stress experience using:
✔️ Calming hormone sprays ✨
✔️ Gentle handling with lickable treats and blanket burritos 🛌
✔️ Pre-emptive anti-anxiety medication for you to administer at home before the appointment
