Keeping Your Pet Cool

With the hot weather not far away, here are some tips on how to keep your pet cool:

• Ensure adequate shade and clean drinking water is available at all times
• Limit exercise to early morning and late evening
• Add ice to their water bowl, or make a "doggy iceblock" by filling a plastic container with water or stock and add some treats, cooked rice, raw fruit/vegies or dog biscuits and freeze. The resulting ice block will keep your dog cool as well as entertained

Renovations Update...

The third and final stage is now underway and is planned to be all finished by Christmas!

We are back in the newly renovated and refreshing waiting room, reception and consult rooms with the brand new entrance.

The new entrance requires you to press a green button to enter and exit.

It is now more important than ever to ensure your pet is secured on a leash or in a cage while in the clinic!

Heartworm is in SA...

There have been reports of Heartworm Positive dogs in South Australia recently, so please ensure your dog is receiving appropriate heartworm prevention.

ALL dogs are at risk, they don't need to come in contact with other dogs to develop this disease as it is transmitted by mosquitoes.

Heartworm is a deadly disease and symptoms may take months to appear.

Please phone us at the clinic if you are unsure and we can discuss the best prevention plan for you.

Puppy Pre-School Reunion!

Guinness & Zack playing

Our annual Puppy Pre-School Reunion was held at Hannaford Reserve on Saturday 2nd November. All the graduates from July 2012 to July 2013 were invited.

We had 14 puppies and their families come along and everyone had a great time. Bodil kindly set up an obstacle course that was a challenge for some and simple for others (when we could get Louis out of the tunnel that is!).

Thanks to Advance Pet Nutrition for the use of their tent and providing sample bags, and everyone went home with a "luck dip" prize!
