Grass seeds can cling to your pet’s fur and travel into ears, eyes, noses and paws. Once embedded, they can be very painful and may need veterinary treatment to be removed.

Breeds with fluffy coats, long ears or hairy feet can be especially at risk.

Make sure to:

✅ Check ears and paw pads after a walk

✅ Brush through your pet’s coat after a walk

✅ Avoid walking through long, dry grass where possible

If your pet is head shaking, sneezing, squinting or licking one spot, don’t ignore it; a grass seed could be bothering them, so get in touch with us.

Dental health plays a huge role in your pet’s overall wellbeing. 🦷

Plaque and tartar can build up over time, leading to sore gums, bad breath and, in some cases, tooth loss or infection. Pets are very good at hiding dental pain, so it’s not always obvious when something is wrong.

Signs to look out for include:

🐾 Bad breath

🐾 Red or bleeding gums

🐾 Difficulty eating or chewing on one side

🐾 Pawing at the mouth

🐾 Drooling

🐾 Loose or missing teeth

We can assess your pet’s teeth and gums, talk you through any concerns and recommend the best way to keep your pet’s mouth healthy. If tartar has built up, your pet may need a dental procedure under anaesthesia, such as a scale and polish, to clean the teeth properly and help reset the mouth back to a healthier state.

Where needed, our vets are also experienced in removing teeth that are painful or diseased. Throughout the procedure, our skilled nursing team closely monitors each patient to keep them as safe and comfortable as possible.

Planning a trip abroad with your pet? ✈️

Before you travel, it’s important to make sure your pet has everything they need to meet the entry requirements for your destination. This can include vaccinations, parasite treatment, travel documents and health checks.

Requirements can vary depending on where you’re going, so it’s always best to start planning early.

Travelling soon? Give us a call to book a pet travel appointment, and we’ll help make sure your pet is protected and ready for their journey.

As a Dog Friendly practice, we have undertaken additional training to give your pet the best possible experience with us. This includes:

🐶 Understanding your dog’s body language

🐶 Helping you prepare for their veterinary clinic visit, including travelling and what to bring

🐶 Behaviour tips for the veterinary clinic visit, such as helping your dog stay calm in the waiting area and consultation room, as well as helping your dog stay still for examinations and procedures.

🐶 Teach you how to give medication to your pet, how to do a health check at home and how to find training and behaviour support.

🐶 We also have a ‘Calm’ Room available for our anxious or nervous furry friends with blankets, toys and treats. Just ask at reception to check if the room is vacant.

Addison’s disease, also called hypoadrenocorticism, is a rare but serious hormone disorder in dogs.

It happens when the adrenal glands don’t produce enough cortisol and aldosterone, hormones that are essential to a pet’s metabolism.

Early signs can be subtle, and Addison’s can be hard to diagnose, which is why it’s often called the great pretender.

Signs include:

👉 Low energy

👉 Picky appetite

👉 Intermittent sickness

👉 Diarrhoea

However, during a flare-up, your dog may collapse, have a low heart rate, tremble or go into shock. This is an emergency. 🚑

Diagnosis is done via blood testing and, although initial treatment for a crisis requires hospitalisation with intravenous fluids and steroids in the hospital, once stable, most dogs do brilliantly on lifelong medication that replaces the missing hormones.

Regular check-ups keep hormone levels on track so your companion can enjoy a full, happy life. ❤️

If your dog has repeat tummy upsets or fade-outs, get in touch with us.
