🦷 Tiny teeth, big problems…

Check out this before and after.... Can you count how many teeth had to be removed?

Those cute little baby teeth (deciduous teeth) don’t always fall out like they’re meant to.
When they hang around too long, they can trap food, crowd adult teeth, and create the perfect setup for dental disease early in life.

🚩 A common sign:
Adult teeth coming through while the baby tooth is still sitting there.....hello “double teeth”

💡 Why removal matters:
Leaving retained baby teeth can lead to pain, infection, and lifelong dental issues. Removing them early helps guide adult teeth into the right position and keeps your pet’s mouth healthy.

✨ Quick, routine, and often done at the same time as desexing or other procedures.

If your pet has a mouth full of “extras”, it’s time for a dental check!

WARNING ⚠️ GRAPHIC VIDEO

Grass seeds: The unwanted souvenir from every walk 🌾

These tiny seeds can easily burrow into paws, ears and skin, and may also lodge in the eyes or nose, causing irritation and painful infections.

Common signs to watch for:
• Excessive paw licking or chewing
• Sudden limping or favouring a leg
• Head shaking or ear scratching
• Squinting, redness, or eye discharge
• Sneezing or nasal discharge
• Swelling, redness, or a small lump on the skin

A quick check after every walk can make all the difference.

If something doesn’t seem right, don’t wait to get it checked.

⚠️ HEAT WARNING FOR PET OWNERS TOMORROW ⚠️

Temperatures in Geelong are forecast to soar to around 40–43°C tomorrow, with very hot and potentially dangerous heat conditions expected throughout the day.

🌡️ What this means for pets:
🌞 Animals can overheat quickly in extreme heat, even just minutes outside without shade can be dangerous.
🌞 Never leave pets in cars! Interior temperatures can climb rapidly to life-threatening levels, even with windows cracked.
🌞 Keep plenty of fresh water available at all times.
🌞 Provide cool, shaded, well-ventilated or indoor areas for pets to rest during peak heat hours.

💧 Extra tips for tomorrow:
✅ Walk dogs early morning or later evening when temperatures are cooler
✅ Avoid asphalt/footpaths during the day as these surfaces get extremely hot
✅ Check water bowls often and top up regularly
✅ Bring pets inside to the coolest part of the house

SNEAK PEAK FOR TOMORROWS CHRISTMAS PET PHOTOS 🥰

WE HAVE DECIDED TO EXTEND THE HOURS > NOW 10AM - 1PM

WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE 🎄🤍

21/11/2025

⚠️ Trigger Warning: The following photos include surgical content (blood and internal organs). Please view only if you are comfortable with medical imagery.

Earlier this week, Rigby, a gorgeous 6-year-old GSP, was rushed to an emergency clinic in the early hours of the morning after a sudden onset of vomiting, diarrhoea, and unsettled behaviour.
Further diagnostic imaging revealed a significant amount of gas buildup caused by compacted sand within his gastrointestinal tract.

Because sand can quickly harden and create a dangerous obstruction, Rigby required an exploratory laparotomy to safely remove the material and relieve the pressure.

We’re very happy to report that the surgery went smoothly, and Rigby is now recovering well with supportive care, pain relief, and lots of rest 🐾💙

As summer approaches, we encourage pet owners to monitor dogs closely at the beach, especially those who love to fetch or dig. Always reach out to your vet if you notice vomiting, lethargy, or abdominal discomfort.
