Kittens grow rapidly, so monitoring their body condition is important for optimal health.

A healthy kitten should have ribs that are able to be felt but not prominent, a slight waist when viewed from above, and a small amount of tummy fat. They should feel firm and muscular, not bony or with a swollen belly.

Regular weigh-ins at home or at the clinic are a great way to track their development during those crucial early months. 🐾

💡 Keep an eye on your kitten's body condition as they grow. Contact our clinic if you'd like help assessing your kitten’s body condition.

If your dog needs to lose weight, it’s best to go slow. Rapid weight loss can be harmful, so we typically aim for a loss of around 1–2% of body weight per week.

Our vets can calculate a target weight and daily calorie intake. Swapping treats for low-energy alternatives like carrot sticks, increasing exercise gradually, and using measured meals instead of free-feeding are all great starting points. 🥕

💡 Healthy weight loss in dogs should be gradual.
If you're concerned about your dog’s weight, arrange a consultation with our vets.

Joint supplements can help pets with arthritis or mobility issues. Green-lip mussel, omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine and chondroitin are all options. These can help reduce inflammation, support joint health and improve comfort.

While supplements are available over the counter, it's best to chat with your vet before starting them, as not all products are equal, and the right choice depends on your pet's specific needs. 🦴

Book a consultation with our clinic if you would like advice on the right joint supplements and joint care.💡

“Why has my cat suddenly started urinating outside of their litter tray?” 🐱

An alteration in feline toileting habits may occur due to:
🔎 A urinary health problem, such as cystitis (bladder inflammation)
🦴 A general health issue, such as arthritis that makes it difficult for the cat to climb into their litter tray and squat comfortably
😿 Behavioural issues, such as anxiety

If your cat has suddenly changed their weeing habits, it’s recommended to have them assessed promptly by one of our knowledgeable vets, who can help get to the “bottom” of your cat’s issue.

Does my dog need regular ear cleaning? 👂🐶

Healthy ears generally only require an occasional gentle wipe out if they become wet, sandy or muddy.

However, some dogs may require routine ear cleaning if they:
💡 Naturally produce a large amount of wax
💡 Have hairy ear canals that tend to get matted and cause issues
💡 Have an underlying issue that affects their ear health, such as skin allergies

If your dog’s ears ever develop unusual discharge, or are red, smelly or sore, it’s best to g-ear up and book a check-up with one of our friendly vets. 🐾
