Holiday season is here, and while we are enjoying the food, lights and decorations, our pets are often plotting their own festive adventures.
😼

A few common hazards can sneak up quickly, so it pays to keep an eye out.

🎄Chocolate, rich leftovers and cooked bones can cause serious tummy upsets.
🎄Lillies are highly toxic to cats, even a small amount of pollen.
🎄Tinsel, ribbons and ornaments may look like toys, but swallowing them can lead to dangerous blockages.
🎄Loose cords and fairy lights are tempting for chewers too.

A little prevention goes a long way. Keep risky items out of reach and call us if your pet gets into anything they shouldn’t.

A safe pet is a happy pet, and that means a much more relaxing holiday for you too!

Is your pet scratching more than usual? Summer often brings skin flare ups caused by heat, allergies, fleas or grass seeds.
If you spot red patches, constant licking, ear irritation or any new lumps or bumps, it’s best to book a check up! Treating it early makes all the difference in ensuring your pet is comfortable and enjoying the warmer weather.

Give us a call to book in. 💚

It’s Christmas parade time! One of our favourite times of the year.

The AVS Christmas float is always a labour of love. Many hours of prep go into every entry and the big day is a great chance for us to connect with our community and have a heap of fun.

Make sure to keep an eye out for our floats this year and give us a wave as we go by.

Geraldine Parade - 6.30pm on Friday 5th December.
Timaru Parade - 2pm on Sunday 7th December.

Welcoming new fur babies to your home is exciting, but keeping them parasite free is a big part of ensuring they’re healthy and growing well.

Fleas and worms are common in young kittens and starting treatment early makes a huge difference to their health.

Worming should begin from two weeks old and flea treatments from around eight weeks. Using vet approved products that are safe for their age and weight is important (kittens grow quickly so need to be weighed each time you treat them).

If you are unsure about how to best support your new fur baby, come and see us in-clinic. Our team are always happy to point you in the right direction.

We all know the little excited tail wag and dance that dogs do when they know it is time for a walk... Now picture them doing this because they know you have checked the pavement first and they are not going to burn their paws while you are out!

Our pavements can get really hot over summer and it is so important to make sure it is not too hot before you head out on your walk!

Placing your hand on the pavement for a few seconds to test is going to mean the difference between burnt paws or a happy doggo.

What’s the code word for ‘walk’ in your house?
