Christmas is loading… and so is the excitement! 🎄🐾
The festive season is a special time for families, and with a little planning, it can be a happy and safe time for our pets too. December often brings changes — travel, visitors, warm weather, delicious food and busy routines — and our furry family members may need a bit of extra support along the way.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing our tips to help you keep your pets comfortable, healthy and safe this festive season.
You can look forward to practical advice, easy checklists and vet-approved guidance you can trust.
A little preparation goes a long way towards a smoother, happier holiday for every member of the family — furry ones included. 💚✨
Stay tuned!

Leeu has definitely won "patient of the week" this week. He has a super chilled out attitude and didn't bat an eyelid when he had his check up and vaccinations. Such a lovely handsome boy too!

Update: Savvy has come home! 🥰

Savvy escaped from her new flat last night. Her owner, Pierre, is very worried about her. If you see her please give him a call.

We find simparica to be a very tasty, effective tick and flea treatment. Buy one and enter the draw to stand a chance to win a garmin watch. What's not to love!

🐾✨ Going to the vet can be stressful for our furry friends, but a little preparation can make all the difference! 🩺💙

🌟 Tips to Reduce Stress for Pets at the Vet:
1) Familiarize your pet with the carrier—leave it out with treats and toys beforehand.
2) Stay calm and relaxed — your pet picks up on your emotions!
3)Bring along their favourite blanket or toy for comfort.
4) Use positive reinforcement—offer treats and praise for good or calm behaviour.
5) Schedule visits during quieter times if possible.
6) Call us in advance of your appointment to talk about anti anxiety medication that we can give your pet prior to their appointment.

Remember, a calm pet is a happy pet! 🐶🐱💕

🐾🐕🐈 **Flea-tastic Facts from Your Favorite Vet!** 🐈🐕🐾

Hey Cape Town pet parents! 🌟 Did you know that fleas are basically the tiny ninjas of the insect world? 🤺 They can jump 100 times their body length! That’s like you jumping over Table Mountain in a single bound! 🏔️

These pesky critters don’t discriminate; they love our fur babies just as much as they love crashing our summer picnics! 🥳 So, let’s keep them off your four-legged friends and make sure they don’t throw a flea party in your home!

✨ **Fun Flea Facts:**
1. Fleas can lay up to 50 eggs a day! That's like getting a surprise package every day! 📦
2. They love to snuggle—just not in a cute way! 😱
3. A flea can survive without a meal for several months! Talk about commitment issues! 🥴

Prevention is the best way to keep the fleas away! Ask us about our flea control options and let’s send those tiny party crashers packing! 🚫🎉
