Only a couple left in stock. Grab yours today to avoid dissappointment
This week has seen a couple of days of hot weather, which means there is more to come once we hit Summer (in just over 1 week). ππππ‘π‘π‘![]()
![]()
If you own a Brachycephalic dog breed (see picture for some of the breeds) please take extra care with them during the hot (over 25oc days). Due to their compromised airways they struggle the most and are more prone to heat stroke.![]()
![]()
Things we can do for our pets:![]()
![]()
- Don't walk them in the hottest point of the day. Get up earlier and walk them before it gets to hot. Or walk them later in the day once its cooled down.![]()
- Don't leave pet clothing on them.![]()
- Get the groomed. Some breeds like Bernese Mountain Dogs, Golden Retrievers, Samoyed - can benefit from just get their bellies clipped short.![]()
- Make sure they have multiple water bowls, place in the shade.![]()
- Outside housed rabbits and birds, should be moved inside when possibΔΊe.![]()
- If the day has been super hot, the concrete and roads may still be hot, even if the temperature has cooled. If you have to walk them, wait til the temperature has cooled and try to walk them on the grass and check their feet regularly for possible burns.
IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS πππππ¦π¦π¦π

Timeline PhotosAttention all Victorian household gardeners π’ ![]()
![]()
If you use netting to protect your fruit or vegetable harvest you will need to be aware of new provisions under Victoriaβs Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Regulations 2019.![]()
![]()
From 1 September 2021, any netting used to protect household fruit-trees, vegetable gardens, or other fruiting plants must have a mesh size, when at full stretch, of no greater than 5mm x 5mm. Netting advertised or offered for sale for household use must also be compliant with these required mesh specifications.![]()
![]()
The use of appropriate mesh sized netting supports a productive harvest and stops wildlife becoming entangled and injuring themselves, or dying from strangulation.![]()
![]()
Further advice on protecting fruit trees and wildlife, and helping injured wildlife, is available at bit.ly/2RTyPIz
It is coming into fledgling season and we are going to be seeing alot of birds on the ground and "unable to fly". ![]()

When in doubt give us or Wildlife Victoria (ph 8400 7300) a call.
Look at this little cutie we were lucky to have cuddles with. Joey was very brave for his visit today. π

UPDATE ON OUR PROTOCOLS![]()
![]()
We have had to make the hard decision that as of tomorrow, we will need to go back to you dropping off your pets with one of our friendly nurses and carpark telephone consultations with the vet.![]()
![]()
This is to minimise the amount of people we have inside the building for long periods of time, which will then help to keep everyone safe.![]()
![]()
We understand that these changes may cause some anxiety but rest assured, these changes do not reduce the care we give our patients. ![]()
![]()
Stay safe everyone
Apologies if you are trying to contact us by phone. ![]()
We are experiencing phone difficulties at the moment. ![]()
We are working to get them fixed as soon as possible. ![]()
Please send an email to info@theanimaldoctors.com.au and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
