Another month of caring for the pets that make our lives richer 💙

Thank you to every Weltevreden Park family who trusted us with your pets this August.

September brings spring, warmer walks, more outdoor time, and new seasonal considerations (allergies, parasite activity, longer days).

See you in September 🌸

Passion isn't optional in veterinary work; it's the whole point. Staying current with research and technology isn't either. Your pets deserve care that reflects the latest thinking, not outdated approaches.

We're proud that Dr Tony and Dr Vicki lead the way, backed by a team that shows up with genuine warmth every single day.

And being trusted to take care of your pets? That's the best compliment we could ask for.

Thank you for trusting us with your pets 🐾

They don't ask for much. A warm spot. A full bowl. A gentle hand. In return, they give us companionship that asks nothing, judges nothing, and stays constant when everything else changes 💙

We're grateful to care for the pets that mean everything to Weltevreden Park families.

Every consult, every question, every follow-up, we don't take it lightly.

Cats are basically tiny mysteries 🐱

Fascinating cat facts:
→ Cats have a specific "meow" for humans, they rarely meow at other cats
→ Their heart rate is nearly double a human's (140-220 bpm at rest)
→ They have 230 bones in their body (humans have 206)
→ A cat's collarbone is "floating", not attached to other bones. That's how they fit through tight spaces
→ They can jump up to 6 times their body length
→ Female cats are usually right-pawed, while male cats are usually left-pawed
→ Cats' rough tongues are covered in tiny hooks called "papillae"

We're at the tail end of winter, but don't let your guard down yet 🌤️

What to watch for right now:
→ Peak dryness (skin, coat, paw pads)
→ Lingering arthritis flares
→ Weight gain from months of reduced activity
→ Dental issues that developed quietly over winter

As Johannesburg warms up in the coming weeks:
✓ Ease back into longer walks gradually
✓ Watch for allergies as pollen increases
✓ Book overdue check-ups before spring rush

End of winter is a great time for a wellness review.

Still scratching this winter? Fleas might be the reason 🐾

Cold weather outside doesn't stop fleas indoors. In fact, they thrive in the warm spots your pet loves most - bedding, carpets, and cosy corners of your home.

Why winter is actually flea-friendly:
→ Indoor heating creates the warm, humid conditions fleas love
→ Pets spend more time indoors, giving fleas a captive host
→ Flea eggs can lie dormant in carpets and reactivate with warmth

Signs of fleas:
• Excessive scratching or biting at skin
• Small dark specks in fur (flea dirt)
• Red, irritated skin
• Restlessness

Don't wait until you see fleas to act.

Consistent, year-round prevention keeps your home and pet flea-free.

Your dog is smarter and more capable than you think 🐕

Did you know:
→ Dogs can understand around 250 words and gestures (about the same as a 2-year-old human)
→ Their sense of smell is up to 100,000 times stronger than ours
→ Puppies have 28 teeth, and adult dogs have 42
→ Dogs can be trained to detect diseases like cancer, diabetes, and seizures
→ They dream in similar cycles to humans (twitching = dreaming)
→ A dog's heart beats 70-120 times per minute (ours is 60-100)
→ Dogs can see in colour, just not as vividly as we do

Think it's too cold for ticks? Think again 🕷️

Even in Johannesburg winter, ticks don't fully disappear. They hide in warm spots, your pet's ears, belly, groin, and under their collar and remain a year-round risk.

Where ticks find warmth:
→ Wildlife (birds, mice, rats) bring them right into your garden
→ Leaf litter and long grass are prime hiding spots
→ Warm areas of your pet's body become their preferred attachment points

Don't skip tick checks this winter.

Consistent parasite prevention is the only reliable protection, no matter the season.

We stock a range of trusted tick and flea preventatives. Get in touch today for a solution for your pets.
