Did you know snake bites are one of the most common pet emergencies in Australia?
Snakes usually strike when they feel threatened. Curious pets often get too close, especially in warmer months when snakes are more active.
Keep your pets out of high-risk areas:
🌳 Long grass or bushland
🛶 Near water sources
🛠️ Under sheds or decks
If your pet is bitten by a snake, it's important to try and keep them calm and still, and get them to an emergency vet as quickly as possible.
