🐶 Find the Cause of Limping: Investigate certain bone and joint conditions that may be affecting your pet’s mobility.

🐱 Look Beneath the Surface: Help evaluate the chest and abdomen when clinically indicated.

💙 Support Diagnosis and Treatment: Provide valuable information to help our vets decide on the most appropriate care for your pet.

✨ Why in-house X-rays? Having imaging available at our clinic can help streamline your pet’s diagnostic journey, allowing our team to gather important information and plan the next steps in their care.

🐾 Whether your pet has had an accident, is limping, or needs further investigation, our veterinary team is here to help!

🎃👻 KEEP YOUR PET SAFE FROM SPOOKY SEASON!

Halloween can be fun for us, but all the costumes, decorations, strange noises and unexpected visitors can be a little too spooky for our pets. 🐾

If your pet is easily frightened or anxious, help them feel safe this Halloween:

🕯️ Create a quiet, comfortable space away from the front door
🔊 Keep scary noises and loud music to a minimum
🚪 Make sure doors, gates and windows are secure
🎃 Keep decorations, candles and treats safely out of reach
💛 Let your pet hide or retreat if they’re feeling overwhelmed — never force them to interact

A little preparation can help keep Halloween fright-free for your furry family members. 🐶🐱

If your pet is prone to anxiety, speak with our veterinary team about ways we can help them feel more comfortable.

🐶 Why are regular vet visits important?

🐾👂 Let’s Talk About Your Pet’s Ear Health! 🐶🐱

Ear problems can be uncomfortable for our furry friends, but knowing what to look for can make all the difference! 💙

👀 Signs your pet may have an ear problem: 🐾 Frequent head shaking or scratching 🐾 Redness or swelling around the ears 🐾 Unusual discharge or unpleasant odours 🐾 Sensitivity or pain when their ears are touched 🐾 Tilting their head or seeming off-balance

💡 How can you help keep those ears healthy? ✨ Check your pet’s ears regularly for changes. ✨ Keep ears dry after swimming or bathing. ✨ Use only vet-approved ear cleaners when recommended. ✨ Never insert cotton buds into the ear canal. ✨ Avoid using human ear drops or home remedies without veterinary advice.

🐶 Remember: Ear infections can have different causes, including bacteria, yeast, ear mites and allergies. The right treatment depends on the cause, so it’s best to have your vet check any ongoing ear problems.

🚨 When should you see a vet? If your pet has persistent scratching, redness, discharge or discomfort, book a check-up. Head tilt, loss of balance, or severe pain needs prompt veterinary attention.

❤️ Healthy ears mean happier pets! If your furry friend is showing signs of ear trouble, our veterinary team is here to help.

📞 Contact us today to book an ear health check!

🐾✂️ Fun Fact: Did you know your dog’s nails can affect their overall wellness?

Keeping your dog’s nails trimmed isn’t just about looking tidy! 🐶✨ Long nails can change the way your dog walks and puts pressure on their paws, which may lead to discomfort over time.

Regular nail trims help support healthy paws, comfortable movement, and happy adventures. 💚🐾

💡 Wellness tip: If you can hear your dog’s nails clicking on hard floors, it may be time for a trim!

A little paw care goes a long way. 🐕❤️
