Meet Stitch, a stunning Chinchilla Persian, a breed we don’t get to see nearly often enough! 😍

Between those signature emerald eyes and that luxurious silver-tipped coat, he definitely stole the spotlight (and quite a few hearts) during his visit.

It was such a treat to spoil this little guy. We’re already looking forward to your next check-up, we can't wait to watch you grow into those big ears, Stitch! 🐾

We had these adorable French Bulldog puppies visit us for their very first round of vaccinations. While one little guy decided to try climb out of the basket, we’re happy to report they all passed with flying colours! 😄

They officially got the "All Clear" from Dr. Awie and are ready to take on the world, one snort at a time!

It’s Arthritis Awareness Month, and at Vitalvet, we believe every pet deserves to move with ease!

Managing osteoarthritis isn't about a single "magic pill", it’s a multi-modal approach tailored to your pet's specific needs. Here is a quick look at the tools in our toolkit:

🔸 Cartilage Support: Glucosamine and Chondroitin (like GCS and Mobiflex) help rebuild joints. Note: These take 4–6 weeks to show results!
🔸 Fast-Acting Relief: Prescription NSAIDs (like Petcam or Rimadyl) work quickly to suppress pain and inflammation.
🔸 Specialized Injections: Breakthrough treatments like Librella or Pentosan target chronic pain and protect cartilage with monthly doses.
🔸 Pain Management: Medications like Gabapentin can be added to target neurological pain specifically.
🔸 Natural Boosts: Omega-3s and Green-lipped mussel extract provide long-term anti-inflammatory support.

Medication is only half the battle! Weight control, regular low-impact exercise, and physical therapy are crucial for maintaining the muscle mass that supports aching joints. Read more about osteoarthritis on our website: https://vitalvet.co.za/treatment-of-osteoarthritis-in-dogs-and-cats/

IMPORTANT NOTICE ‼️

We’re seeing an increase in cases of kennel cough, a highly contagious respiratory infection in dogs. It spreads easily in places where dogs interact such as parks, grooming parlours, kennels, and even during quick social visits.

🔍 Signs to look out for:
* A persistent, dry “honking” cough
* Retching or gagging (often mistaken for vomiting)
* Runny nose or mild lethargy
* Reduced appetite (in some cases)

💡 What you should know:
* Most cases are mild, but some dogs can develop more serious complications
* It spreads through airborne droplets and shared surfaces
* Even vaccinated dogs can still get it but symptoms are usually milder

🏡 What to do if your dog is coughing:
* Keep them rested and avoid exercise
* Isolate them from other dogs
* Do not bring them into the practice without calling ahead

Prevention is better than Cure! Contact us for more information: 044 874 4060 | www.vitalvet.co.za | Emergencies: 072 088 1957

Happy World Veterinary Day! 🐾

Today, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the incredible team at Vitalvet 💪🤩

Being a veterinarian is so much more than a job, it’s a calling. It’s the late-night emergency calls, the complex surgeries, the gentle comfort offered to nervous pets, and the tireless advocacy for those who cannot speak for themselves.

To our amazing Vets, thank you for your expertise, your steady hands, and your enormous hearts 🙌

Did you know that 1 in 3 pets will go missing at some point in their lives? It’s a heartbreaking statistic, especially with more reports of stolen pets, open gates, and pets simply losing their way home 🥰

This National Pet ID Week (17 - 23 April), we’re on a mission at Vitalvet to make sure every pet has a ticket back home. Don't wait for an accident to happen, give yourself peace of mind with these layers of protection:

🔸 Instant ID Tags: Choose from a selection of tag designs for your pet, with your contact details added to the back.

🔸 Microchips: It’s a quick, painless procedure that ensures your contact details are always with your pet. If they ever end up at a shelter or vet, a quick scan brings them back to you.

Visit any of the Vitalvet branches to secure your pet's safety with an Instant ID tag and a microchip.

This handsome Rottweiler puppy visited us today for his second round of vaccinations, and he is the definition of "cool, calm, and collected" 😎

While most pups are sniffing for treats, Rocky had a very specific interest: our cold floors! 🧊 Whether it was the smooth texture or just the perfect temperature for a growing pup, he made himself right at home 😄
