🌟 MYTHBUSTER 🌟

MYTH: "It’s okay to skip flea and tick preventatives during the winter."

FALSE! 💥: Fleas prefer warmer conditions but they can be active year-round so that’s why using prevention throughout the year is essential. They are also quite happy to live in temperatures over 8 degrees, so freezing them out is also impossible in Australia. As soon as there are a few warmer days (or the heater is turned on) these eggs hatch. This leads to an emergence of fleas and lots of itchy pets.

🔹An adult female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day.
🔹Once you get a flea outbreak, it can take up to 3 months to stop the cycle!

🌟 Your Say: Pet Etiquette 🌟

Two Sydney councils want harsher penalties for pet-related offences, claiming there's been a decline in "pet etiquette", including owners not picking up their dog's droppings.
They want bigger fines and harsher penalties for dog owners caught doing the wrong thing. It refers to "irresponsible" dog owners, including actions such as "off-leash dogs harassing children or wildlife" and "owners neglecting to pick up droppings".

❓❓What do you think? Should pet etiquette be enforced by local councils around Australia?

🌟 Winter Safety for Cats - Beware of Hidden Napping Spots! 🌟

As the temperature drops, our feline friends love to find warm and cosy spots to nap. ❄️🐱 Unfortunately, this sometimes means they may sneak into dangerous places such as washing machines, dryers and dishwashers. Our vets often see cases of cats getting stuck in these machines, which can lead to serious accidents.

🟣 Here are some tips to keep your kitty safe:

🐈 Always Check Before You Close: Make it a habit to check inside washing machines, dryers and dishwashers before you start them.
🐈 Close Doors Securely: Keep appliance doors closed when not in use to prevent curious cats from exploring.
🐈 Create Safe Warm Spots: Provide your cat with warm and comfy alternatives such as heated cat beds or cosy blankets.
🐈 Be Mindful of Small Spaces: Cats love small, enclosed spaces. Ensure cupboards, drawers,and other small areas are cat-proofed.
🐈 Supervise Laundry Time: If possible, keep your cat out of the laundry room while you're doing chores.

Keeping these tips in mind can help ensure a safe and warm winter for you and your feline friend! 🐾💕

🌟 Pet Care Plans 🌟

Caring for your pets can be an expensive business, between food, wormers, tick prevention and vaccinations—and that’s only if nothing goes wrong!

What is a Pet Care Plan❓

A Pet Care Plan is a budgeting tool that can be tailored to each family. For a small fortnightly or monthly payment (starting from as little as $11 per fortnight) you can cover the year’s flea & tick control, worming and vaccinations all in easy instalments – no need to try to save hundreds for the yearly vaccination and heartworm injection. 🟣 Plans can incorporate individual pet’s needs for example prescription food or dentistry.

What are the benefits❓
🐾 Signing up will ensure your pet has the best available protection against parasites and disease
🐾 One bonus FREE consultation in case of any unexpected illnesses OR two free nail clips per year (*only available when annual vaccinations included in the plan)
🐾 It helps you to control your finances and save money for the more enjoyable things in life!
🐾 Prices are locked in for the whole 12 months - even if there are price increases of the products we buy in

How does it work❓
The Pet Care Plan works by a few easy steps:

🐾 Choose the parasite control products that suit your pet’s needs. This includes protection against intestinal worms, heartworm, fleas and paralysis ticks.
🐾 Choose your vaccination protection level (e.g. F3 or F5 for cats, C3 or C7 for dogs).
🐾 Select your direct debit frequency—can be monthly, fortnightly or weekly and sign your agreement

Then it is just a matter of popping into the clinic to grab your products whenever required.

❗️Reminders via SMS can be set-up if requested to prompt when pets are due for the next dose.

Interested❓ Then schedule a call-back from one of our team via the online booking portal or by emailing [email protected]

🌟 Fun Fact Friday 🌟

🪥 Puppies have baby teeth too! 🦷

Just like human babies, puppies grow 28 baby (deciduous) teeth, which start to appear around 3 weeks of age. These fall out to make way for their 42 adult teeth—usually by the time they're about 6 months old.

But sometimes things don’t go quite to plan…

🐾 Common puppy dental issues include:
🔸 Retained baby teeth – when baby teeth don’t fall out properly
🔸 Malocclusion – misaligned teeth or jaw
🔸 Fractured teeth – often from chewing too hard on toys or bones

💡 That’s why it’s so important to have regular dental checks with your vet, especially during your puppy’s growth and development stages. Early detection can prevent future pain and costly treatments!

🌟 FAQ: Why Do Cats Get Acne? 🌟

Yes, cats can get acne too—usually on their chin! 😺🐾

Cat acne often appears as tiny black specks (like dirt or blackheads) and can be caused by:
🔹 Excess oil production
🔹 Dirty food or water bowls (especially plastic)
🔹 Poor grooming habits
🔹 Stress or skin irritation
🔹 Underlying medical conditions

Most cases are mild, but severe flare-ups can become infected or painful. If you notice persistent bumps, swelling, or scabs on your cat’s chin, it’s worth a vet visit.

🧼 Tip: Switching to stainless steel or ceramic bowls and keeping them clean can help prevent future breakouts!
