We view pet health as an interconnected web between us, you, and your pets. One where we respect the human-animal bond, where our care and empathy extends beyond our patient to you as an owner.
A relationship where we share the responsibility to work together respectfully, working hard to get the best outcome for you and your pet.

Helpful resources to keep your dog or cat happy and healthy.
It’s essential to know the difference between situations that need immediate veterinary care, and those where you can wait at home.
As a new kitten owner, one of the most important steps in giving them a healthy start to life is the right vaccinations.
You’ve brought home your new best friend – congratulations! Now it’s time to make sure your new puppy receives the right vaccinations.
Although the current risk to us is low, we need to make sure we are doing our part to keep it that way. Please follow some basic guidelines if you are bringing wildlife into the clinic: 🐔
- Inform us ahead of time so we can have staff available to take appropriate precautions
- To minimize handling by you and staff, please keep contained in a carrier, towel or box. Use gloves where possible
- If you see anything suspicious please report it to authorities

🦷 When was the last time you checked your pet’s teeth? 🐶🐱

Keep an eye out for:
- Bad breath
- Red or swollen gums
- Difficulty chewing
- Excessive drooling
Regular dental care can help keep your pet comfortable, healthy and smiling for years to come. 🐾

🐝 Bee stings - aka flying spicy sky raisins. 🐝
As the weather warms up, curious pups are more likely to chase and become curious about insects (including bees!) A bee sting can be painful and in some cases cause serious allergic reactions.
Common signs of a bee sting include:
- Sudden yelping or pawing at face
- Swelling around the muzzle, lips or paws
- Redness and discomfort
- Excessive licking of the affected area
‼️ Seek veterinary attention immediately if your dog shows:
- Difficulty breathing
- Severe facial swelling
- Collapse or weakness
- Vomiting or diarrhoea after a sting
If you suspect your dog has been stung by a bee, keep calm and seek advice from your veterinarian. Do not give any human medications unless the vet directs you. 🐾 ... See MoreSee Less
