Supporting sore joints in dogs and cats ✨

This week ...we’re featuring 4CYTE — a premium joint supplement designed to help support cartilage health and joint function in both dogs and cats.

As pets age (or if they’re very active), their joints can become stiff and uncomfortable. You might notice:
🐾 Slowing down on walks
🐾 Reluctance to jump
🐾 Stiffness after resting
🐾 Struggling with stairs or getting into the car

4CYTE contains EPIITALIS®, a plant oil extract that supports cartilage health and may assist in managing osteoarthritis. It’s easy to give (just mixed with food) and safe for long-term use.

Importantly, 4CYTE can be used in conjunction with other arthritis medications, as part of a multimodal pain management plan. This means we can combine joint supplements, prescription pain relief, weight management, and lifestyle adjustments to keep your pet as comfortable as possible ❤️

Joint support works best when started early — not just once arthritis is advanced.

If you’ve noticed subtle mobility changes in your pet, have a chat with our team about whether 4CYTE could be beneficial.

Microchipping – A Tiny Chip, A Lifelong Safety Net 💛

A microchip may be small, but it... can make a life-changing difference.

Every year, pets go missing — sometimes just slipping out a gate, escaping during storms, or getting frightened by fireworks. A microchip gives your pet the best chance of being reunited with you.

✔️ It’s permanent identification
✔️ It can’t fall off like a collar or tag
✔️ It links your pet directly to your contact details
✔️ It’s quick and safe to implant

If your pet is found and taken to a vet clinic or shelter, we scan them for a microchip. That number connects to a registry, allowing us to contact you straight away.

But here’s the important part — your details must be up to date. If you’ve changed your phone number or address, make sure your microchip registry information is updated.

Microchipping isn’t just recommended — in many parts of Australia, it’s legally required and part of responsible pet ownership.

If you’re unsure whether your pet is microchipped, or if your details need updating, pop in and we can scan them for you 💛

🌞 Beat the Heat: Protect Your Cattle! 🐄

Summer temperatures can be tough on cows. ...Heat stress doesn’t just make them uncomfortable—it can reduce milk production, affect growth, and even lead to serious health issues.

Signs of heat stress to watch for:

Panting or rapid breathing

Excessive drooling or open-mouth breathing

Lethargy or reduced feeding

Reduced milk yield

Tips to keep cattle cool:

Provide plenty of clean, fresh water 💧

Offer shade with trees, shelters, or shade cloth 🌳

Feed during cooler parts of the day 🌅

✅ Early detection and proactive cooling make a huge difference! Protect your herd and keep them thriving all summer.

Let us show you two of our commonly used in-clinic gut health ...products! ✨

As the warmer months roll in, we often see an increase in diet changes, stress, scavenging, and tummy upsets in both cats and dogs. Supporting gut health is an important part of keeping pets feeling their best — and probiotics can play a big role.

🦠 Inside Out Probiotic (daily gut support)
Inside Out is a powdered probiotic + prebiotic designed for long-term digestive health.
It helps support:
🐾 Healthy digestion and stool quality
🛡️ Immune system function
✨ Skin and coat health
🐶🐱 Sensitive stomachs or ongoing gut support

This is a great option for daily use, especially for pets with recurring digestive issues or those needing gentle, ongoing support. Simply sprinkle over food 🥣

💉 Protexin Paste (short-term support)
Protexin paste is a fast-acting, concentrated probiotic commonly used for:
⚡ Acute diarrhoea
🚗 Stress (boarding, travel, illness)
💊 After antibiotic treatment

It’s ideal for short-term gut flare-ups but isn’t intended for long-term daily use.

🔍 What’s the difference?

Inside Out = preventative, gentle, long-term gut health

Protexin paste = rapid support during sudden tummy troubles

Both products are valuable — choosing the right one helps us give your pet the best care at the right time ✨🐶🐱
If you’re unsure which is best for your pet, our team is always happy to help 💙
