I’d like you to meet Baloo, our pet of the month. Although Baloo’s favourite game is to see if he can knock me over while rumbling during his home consultation visits, at 8 years of age, Baloo is now becoming a ‘senior’ pet.
Halloween. This American tradition has now become so entrenched in our Australian culture that even if you don’t plan on celebrating it yourself, chances are come next Tuesday afternoon your neighbourhood will be filled.
Part of your family and they depend on you for food, shelter, love and medical attention, if required. However unfortunately, if there is something wrong they just can’t tell about it, and their survival instincts.
Today is National Dog Day Australia, a day designed to encourage dog owners to become more aware of responsible dog ownership. Which is why I’d like to draw your attention to a really urgent issue: canine blood donation.
During the colder months of the year many of us would prefer to stay in bed under a warm doona than get out of bed and brave the single digit morning temperatures. Not only can they really feel the cold too.
While you’re probably aware of the dangers of leaving your pet unattended in your car, you might not also be aware of the life-threatening danger you could be exposing you and your pets to, simply by transporting them incorrectly.
Parvovirus is so incredibly contagious because of its stability and because it takes just a few minute particles to spread the disease. Parvovirus is resistant to heat, detergent and alcohol, which is why it remains in the environment for so long. Parvovirus is spread via dog faeces and can also be transmitted via the hair or feet of infected dogs. It can even live in wet soil for up to a year.
“Phewee!” If your pet could be renamed Pongo because of bad breath, you may want to schedule a dental hygiene appointment for them right away. A stinky smelly breath and excessive drooling are key indicators that your pet may be suffering from tooth or gum disease. The last thing you want to do is just ignore the problem – the cost of the bill is almost always related to extent of time.
If your pets get sad even when you’re just taking your garbage bins out and you feel that holidaying without them really isn’t an option, well, you’re not alone. Many of my clients opt to take their fur-babies away with them because, after all, if you holiday without your pets, it really feels like you’re leaving a member of the family behind!

First visit from Ari and Ellie and it went beyond all expectations. They were so genuinely interested in my two cats. Of course I couldn’t stop talking about them but they clearly were not bored. Did excellent health checks and vaccinations – was an absolute pleasure and I would totally recommend them to anybody. So fabulous having no stress of lugging…
Elle’s exceptionally professional, warm, and helpful phone manner, together with Dr Ari’s prompt arrival, gentle approach with Hudson, and clear, thorough medical explanations and recommendations, immediately put my mind at ease. The high level of care and professionalism demonstrated confirmed that contacting VETaround was the right decision.
Ari is the best vet ever. His home visits are incredible. Such a great service to not have to put your beloved pets in the stressful situation of a car. Or around sick pets in a waiting area. My cats LOVE HIM. Ollie my male cat NEVER comes out of hiding when visitors come over. With Ari, he not only came out, let him weigh him, have his check up done…
I was very pleased with the ladies from VETaround Mobile vet. Professional, polite and very knowledgeable. Certainly eased my mind about my cat 🐈 would recommend them to anyone needing good veterinary care for their pet. We all know just how important our four legged friends are!
