Ensure the comfort and safety of your pets in hot weather
The beautiful hot summer weather is here, and what better way to enjoy the sunshine than to get out and about in our local parks and beaches. Our pets love enjoying the outdoors just as much as we do, however there are some things we need to keep in mind to ensure the comfort and safety of our pets during the warmer months.
Certain breeds of dogs and cats can be more affected by the heat, particularly those with shortened noses, and narrow airways such as Pugs and French Bulldogs, and also those with a heavy coat such as Huskies and Pomeranian breeds. It may be of benefit to consider having any long haired dogs or cats clipped by a groomer over summer as a preventative measure, this also makes tick searching much easier. Pugs, French Bulldogs and other short nosed breeds should be examined by a vet to ensure they do not have serious respiratory issues that may be affected by the heat.

Goji the dog recently presented to Sydney Animal Hospitals after his owners noticed that he was straining to urinate, as well as trying to urinate frequently and the urine he was passing was tinged with blood. After a consultation with one of our veterinarians, during his physical examination it was suspected that Goji was suffering from bladder stones, which was then confirmed with an x-ray.
Working alongside these brave men and women were animals. Animals had a significant role in War.
Knee problems in dogs
Just like humans, dogs can suffer from an array of knee problems. The most common knee problem of dogs is a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This condition can cause significant pain, resulting in lameness and reduced activity. If left unchecked the arthritis that can ensue in the joint can be significantly debilitating for the dog.
