Meet Zeus! 💪

This most beautiful 1 year old American Pit Bull visited us for his annual vaccination. He was in great hands with Sr Ilse and completely stole our hearts with his lovable personality!

Safe to say the treats were definitely Zeus’ favourite part of the visit! 🤩

This sweet 14-year-old patient came in for a much-needed dental clean, and what a difference it made! 🐾

Severe tartar build-up and dental disease can cause pain, infection, and affect overall health — especially in our senior pets. After a professional dental procedure, this patient left with a cleaner, healthier mouth and much more comfort.

Don’t forget — our Dental Special runs until 30 June! 🦷

Dogs and cats of any age are welcome and receive 15% discount on dental procedures. Give your pets the care they deserve!

Meet this handsome young Boerboel, Shadow 🐶

This 9 week old Boerboel puppy visited us for a bit of toy shopping and quickly captured everyone’s attention with his gentle nature and charm and lets just say, he left with more than just toys, he left with all our love too! 😁

We look forward to seeing him again as he grows!

🐾 Patient Spotlight: Meet Chokkie! 🐾

Our practice was a little extra cute this week thanks to this handsome fellow! Chokkie, a dapper 1-year-old Dachshund, stopped by to see Dr. Kayleigh for his castration procedure.

He was such a brave boy throughout his visit, and we are so proud of him! Castration is an important part of responsible pet ownership, helping to prevent future health issues and curb certain behaviours.

We’re sending Chokkie home with lots of love and wishing him a very speedy recovery. Rest up, little man! 🦴💤

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: 044 690 6000 | 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.
