🐾 Meet Bug! 🖤🐻

At just 14 weeks old, this gorgeous Newfoundland puppy is already a big bundle of fluff and cuteness! 😍

Bug recently visited us for vaccinations, and with that adorable face and those giant fluffy paws, how could anyone resist? 🐶💕

We have a feeling this little teddy bear is going to grow into one very big, beautiful dog!

🐾 Meet Nelson – and a fascinating glimpse into veterinary eye care! 👀💚
Nelson is a handsome 12½-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier x Rhodesian Ridgeback who recently visited us for an eye recheck.
Ever wondered why an eye might glow bright green during a veterinary examination? ✨
This incredible photo shows a fluorescein stain, a special dye our vets use to help identify scratches or ulcers on the surface of the eye.
Under a blue light, the dye fluoresces bright green, helping our team examine areas that might otherwise be difficult to see.
A fascinating little glimpse behind the scenes of veterinary medicine!
Thanks to Nelson and his owner for letting us share this amazing photo. 💚🐶

What happens when a seed strikes (when to see us)
🩺 "It's just a little seed…" — famous last words! 😅
Here's the truth about grass seeds: that tiny entry hole you can see often hides a seed that's already on the move. Left alone, they can travel through tissue and end up in places that need much bigger surgery to fix.
When you bring your pet to WAVS with a suspected seed, we'll:
🔍 Do a thorough clip and search of the area
👂 Check ears and eyes (seeds love hiding under eyelids!)
💤 Use sedation or anaesthetic if needed — it's kinder and lets us find seeds a wide-awake wriggly patient would never let us near
💊 Treat any infection or sore that's developed
The earlier we see them, the simpler (and cheaper) it is. If in doubt, get it checked — we'd rather say "all clear!" than go searching months later. 💙🐾

🐾 Meet Simba! 🐾

Simba recently popped in for his vaccinations — and at 11 years and 11 months, this handsome Husky mix certainly hasn’t lost his spring!

Happy, handsome, and apparently still very capable of a good bounce! 😄💙

It was lovely having you in, Simba! 🐶🐾

It's not always grass seeds (other spring skin issues)
🌸 Itchy season is upon us!
Spring doesn't just bring grass seeds — it's prime time for other skin troubles too:
🐜 Fleas — warming weather means flea numbers explode. One flea can set off weeks of itching, especially in flea-allergic pets.
🌼 Environmental allergies — pollens and grasses can trigger red, itchy skin, paw chewing, face rubbing and recurrent ear infections.
🔥 Hot spots — those angry, wet, painful patches that appear almost overnight from licking and scratching.
👂 Ear infections — often a sign that something else (like allergy or, you guessed it, a grass seed!) is going on underneath.
Itchy skin has lots of possible causes, and the right treatment depends on the right diagnosis. If your pet is scratching, licking or shaking their head more than usual, bring them in — early treatment is kinder and cheaper than a flare-up that's had weeks to brew. 💙

🐩 Little Miss Ponyo!

This stunning Poodle pup paid us a visit recently for her second vaccination — and she handled it like an absolute champ! 💪

We're so proud of how far she's come. Ponyo was a little nervous in the clinic on her first visit, but she's been coming out of her shell quite nicely and showing us that confident Poodle attitude. It's amazing to watch a puppy grow in courage with every visit! 🥹✨

And at just 11 weeks old, she's already getting ready to take the show ring by storm! 🏆 We can't wait to see her strut her stuff.

Such a brave, beautiful girl. We love seeing you, Ponyo! 💕

The 60-second post-walk check (prevention)
🐶 The 60-second check that could save your pet (and your wallet!)
The best grass seed is the one that never gets the chance to burrow in. After every walk this spring, do a quick once-over:
✅ Run your hands through the coat — seeds snag in fur first
✅ Check between every toe and under every pad
✅ Peek inside and around the ears
✅ Check the eyes, armpits, groin and under the collar
✅ Brush out any seeds you find before they embed
Extra protection:
✂️ Keep the fur around paws and ears trimmed
🌾 Avoid walking through long, dry grass where possible
⚠️ Found a seed already embedded, or a sore spot? Please don't dig at it yourself — they can snap off or travel deeper. Give us a call and let us find it safely. 💙🩺
