E. coli has been detected in water in Flagstaff, Rototuna, and Queenwood. This isn’t just a risk for people — your pets are at risk too! 🐶🐱
✅ What to do:
Boil your pets’ water before giving it to them.
Consider using bottled or filtered water until the water is safe again.
Keep an eye on your pets for any signs of illness (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy) and contact your vet if concerned.
Stay safe and keep your furry friends healthy! 💧❤️

This handsome senior recently celebrated his 17th birthday! 🐱💙
With age comes a few extra considerations when it comes to procedures. Before Skoota’s dental procedure, we performed pre-anaesthetic blood work to check his organ function and tailor a plan for which medications would be safest for him. He also stayed in hospital on IV fluids to support his kidneys while metabolising the anaesthetic.🦷 🐾
We’re very pleased with how well Skoota handled everything – and even happier to hear from his family that he’s back home, enjoying life happy as ever! ✨
