🐾 Welcome to the October Edition - Your Trusted Companion Care Newsletter! 🐾

G'day pet parents!

Spring has sprung, and our furry friends are out and about, enjoying the warmer weather. But with the months warming up, we've noticed an uptick in some extra not-so-welcome visitors - paralysis ticks and slithery neighbours! In this month's newsletter, we're here to keep you informed and your pets safe.

🐜 Tick Alert: This month, our clinic has seen a surge in paralysis tick cases. If your furry family members haven't had their tick-prevention chew or spot-on applied recently, now is the time! Be diligent in checking for ticks regularly, especially after outdoor adventures. Prevention is key to keeping your pets tick-free and healthy.

🐍 Snake Season: In addition to ticks, we're also experiencing heightened snake activity in our area. It's crucial to be super vigilant when you're out and about with your pets. Keep them on a leash, avoid tall grass, and be aware of your surroundings. Your watchful eye can make all the difference.

🐶 Dermatological Conditions: One of our blogs this month focuses on common skin and ear issues that can affect your pets. Learn what can cause these bothersome problems and discover different ways to manage them effectively.

🦠 Parasite Prevention: We'll emphasise the importance of staying up to date with parasite prevention. The consequences of neglecting this aspect of pet care can be severe, and we want to ensure your pets remain happy and healthy.

Exciting News! 🌟 We're thrilled to share that there will be an upcoming 12-month injection for Fleas and Ticks designed to make pet care even more convenient for our valued clients. Stay tuned for more information on this revolutionary product in the coming months.

At Goodna Vet, we're dedicated to providing the best care for your beloved pets. Stay informed, keep your pets protected, and nurture their well-being with our expert advice and services.

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out. Your furry family members deserve the very best, and we're here to help you provide it.

Until next month, happy tails and purrs!
