A Marsh Terrapin, found in a wood pile in someone’s back yard, was handed in to us (last year) for check over and release. Thankfully the little guy was unharmed and healthy and we could release him back into a (much safer) natural environment. We enjoy seeing these wild guys, when it’s necessary, but enjoy releasing them even more. We also love working with Free Me in Howick, how are always available with advice and willing to take on the sicker patients for healing and rehabilitation. Please feel free to contact Vetcross Umvoti and Free Me for advice on wildlings and what to do with them when necessary.

Time for a treat perhaps? Visit VetCross Umvoti to discuss the correct dietary needs for your pet. Weight management is key to a healthy dog as excess weight puts additional pressure on the heart, joints and limbs which could cause serious health issues later. Come on in today.

Pet obesity is more common than most people think and may cause serious health issues much the same as in humans. It is as important to understand how to feed your pet as it is knowing what to feed them. Your animals daily activities should also be considered. Make an appointment with VetCross Umvoti and allow us to talk you through what we believe is best suited for your best friends needs.

So many unwanted puppies are born every year due to owners not wanting to sterilise their dogs. This causes animals to be either abandoned or given away to people who in turn may not either want to or can not afford to have their dog spayed or neutered. Very few owners actually think of the less obvious benefits and that is why VetCross Umvoti are asking you to discuss the options and get the facts regarding why it is beneficial for both the owner and the pet.

20/07/2023

One of the aspects to watch out for as a cat owner is to be observant of bad breath. Constant bad breath in adult cats is not normal. It may be a sign of possible tooth decay or another dental disease which could lead to more serious overall medical issues. If you think your cat’s breath is a little too stinky it is probably time to make a visit to VetCross Umvoti for a dental check up.

19/07/2023

Having an animal with allergies does not need to be the end of a fantastic relationship. VetCross Umvoti will help with the necessary testing to determine the severity and assist in providing suitable solutions to controlling the reactions. Symptoms may include, skin rashes, sneezing, scratching continuously and even watery eyes and runny nose. We are just a call away.

18/07/2023

When the time comes to shop for your pet, you know you can count on VetCross Umvoti to have what you need. From top brand food to winter jackets and blankets not to mention comfortable beds, we stock them all. We know that if your pets could do their own shopping they would insist on stopping in at our store.

17/07/2023

Having an animal that is aging becomes a little more challenging during winter as the joints tend to become stiff and movement is more laboured with the cold weather. One way of assisting is by talking to VetCross Umvoti about our range of nutritional supplements which include Joint Care Advanced. We would like to make your pets life as comfortable as possible. Call us today for more information.

Stuart decided to do a quick inspection this morning and reminded us that we might not have enough blankets to help the less fortunate animals this winter and he asked us to request that if anybody would like to donate blankets to the practice, we would make sure they go to the animals that need them most. VetCross Umvoti is so fortunate to have such a caring member on our staff. Will you support him?
