Grade 2 Dental Descaling Procedure !
🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷

🐶Mila (11y) Schnauzer came in for a very needed Dental descaling and Polishing.

What was observed was heavy tartar (calculus) buildup covering multiple teeth, especially the premolars and molars and inflamed gums (gingivitis) around the affected teeth.

This level of dental disease commonly causes:
❌️ Bad breath 
❌️ Pain while eating (even if the dog still eats normally) 
❌️ Bleeding gums 
❌️ Infection that can spread below the gumline 
❌️ Tooth root abscesses 
❌️ Long-term effects on the heart, kidneys, and liver if left untreated.

Mila's owners took a step into the right direction.
↗️ Health and recovery .🍋‍🟩🌿

Do you see the same signs with your pet?

We offer FREE dental checks and 15% discount on professional dental descaling a polishing services using ultrasonic technology.

🐾 Tiny Paws, Big Milestones! 💉💛 These a 🐾 Tiny Paws, Big Milestones! 💉💛 

These adorable Golden Retriever puppies visited us for their very first vaccinations 🐶✨ 

Vaccinations are one of the most important steps in giving your puppy the healthiest start in life. They help protect against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases while building a strong foundation for a long, happy future. 

Remember, puppies are especially vulnerable while their immune systems are still developing. Staying on schedule with their vaccine programme is essential to keep them protected as they grow, explore, and make new furry friends. 🐾 

‼️Puppies need their routine vaccinations on :
6 weeks.
10 weeks.
14 weeks.
By completing all 3 vaccines your puppy's immue system has a better fighting chance against deseases like parvo. 

📅 Is your puppy due for their first vaccines, booster shots, or a wellness check? 

📞 Contact us today to book an appointment and let us help your newest family member get the best start possible. Because every healthy dog begins with preventative care. ❤️🐕

POISONOUS GARDEN MUSHROOMS🍄 Many South African POISONOUS GARDEN MUSHROOMS🍄

Many South African garden mushrooms are highly poisonous to dogs and can be fatal. Because it is almost impossible to reliably tell safe and toxic wild mushrooms apart, you should treat all backyard mushrooms as an emergency and prevent your dog from eating them. These mushrooms mentioned, commonly occure in the Western Cape region.

Common Symptoms to Watch For :

If your dog ingests a toxic mushroom, symptoms can appear anywhere from 15 minutes to 6 hours later, and sometimes even days later depending on the toxin:

🍄Mild/Gastrointestinal: Excessive drooling, vomiting, and explosive diarrhea.
🍄Neurological: Weakness, disorientation, tremors, and hallucinations.
🍄Severe: Liver and kidney failure, jaundice (yellowing of the eyes/gums), and collapse.

What to Do in an Emergency 

If you catch your dog eating a wild mushroom, take action immediately:

🍄Remove the mushrooms: Pull up and safely dispose of any remaining mushrooms in your yard to prevent further ingestion.

🍄Collect a sample: If possible, take photos or save a piece of the chewed mushroom in a paper bag. Identifying the exact species helps the vet administer the correct treatment.

🍄Go to a vet: Do not wait for symptoms to show up. Go straight to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic.

The BEFORE and AFTER. Dr NJ did a wonderful job r The BEFORE and AFTER. 
Dr NJ did a wonderful job removing the warts.

Canine papillomas, also known as dog warts, are typically benign, cauliflower-like growths caused by the contagious canine papillomavirus (CPV-1), commonly appearing on the lips, mouth, or eyelids of young dogs or immunocompromised pets. 

They generally resolve spontaneously within 1-3 months. However, if they fail to resolve within this timeframe, veterinary assistance is recommended. 

Although not transmissible to humans or other pets, they can easily spread among dogs.

Protect pets during extreme heat by keeping them i Protect pets during extreme heat by keeping them indoors with air conditioning or fans, ensuring constant access to water, and avoiding walking them on hot asphalt. 
Never leave pets in parked cars, as temperatures rise rapidly to deadly levels. 
Limit exercise to early morning or late evening, and watch for signs of heatstroke. 

Key Safety Measures
📌Hydration: Provide multiple, easily accessible water bowls, potentially adding ice cubes.
📌Environment: Keep pets indoors during peak heat (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). If they must be outside, ensure constant, ample shade.
📌Walking: Use the "7-second rule": if you cannot hold the back of your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds, it is too hot for paws. Walk in early morning or late evening.
📌Cooling Aids: Use damp towels, cooling mats, or shallow wading pools for dogs.
📌Grooming: While brushing removes excess hair, it can also allow cool air to reach the skin.

Signs of Heatstroke in Pets‼️
📍Heavy, excessive panting and drooling.
📍Glazed or bloodshot eyes.
📍Rapid, erratic heartbeat.
📍Lethargy, weakness, or stumbling.
📍Vomiting or diarrhea.
📍Dark red or purple gums. 

What to Do if a Pet Overheats
☀️Immediately move the pet to a cool, shaded area or air-conditioned space. 
☀️Apply cool (not cold) water to their body, belly, and paws, or use damp towels. 
☀️Offer water, but do not force them to drink. ☀️‼️Contact a veterinarian immediately, as heatstroke can lead to organ failure. 

High-Risk Pets‼️‼️
Brachycephalic breeds: Flat-faced dogs (Pugs, Bulldogs) and cats (Persians) struggle to pant effectively.
Other vulnerable groups: Elderly, overweight, or pets with heart/lung diseases.
