INTERVENTION vs A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION: Where does your pet sit on the oral health-o-meter?

Not all pets need a dental scale and prophylaxis carried out. Some just need a little more time at home with dental cleaning, more dental chews or a dental additive like Hexarinse to help their little mouths out. Unsure what your pet needs? Call to make a FREE dental consultation* and find out what you can do to help your pet!

SANTA PAWS IS COMING TO TOWN!
30 October, 2016

WHAT TIME IS IT?

SANTA PAWS TIME!

Once again, the time has come for Santa Paws to jump in his sleigh and bestow hearty hugs and tasty treats upon all the furry family members across the globe. Luckily for us, Santa Paws has cleared his schedule for a WHOLE day so that he can pay special attention to the Toowong Family Vet pets!

Sunday November 20th marks the special day your pet can come along and get a pet pawtrait with Santa Paws himself at Toowong Family Vet! TFV will once again open the doors on Sunday (for Santa Paws Pawtraits only) so that we can focus purely on Santa and his pet pals, and so that the clinic can operate as usual on the Saturday for those animals requiring veterinary attention. So, why not come on down to see Santa Paws - the big guy himself has requested the attendance of all animals - big and small - to join in the Christmeows Celebrations!

Santa Paws Pet Pawtraits are being held at the clinic on November 20th, 2016 between 9:00am and 2:30pm.
Due to the increased interest and attendance as each year comes around, this year, all Santa Paws Pawtraits will require a booking. We have extended our sitting schedule to accommodate all bookings, but will unfortunately be unable to see walk-in pets. If all attendees are able to arrive 10 minutes prior to your booking, we will get your details, discuss package options and process payment. There will be some light refreshments for you, and yummy treats for our poochy and pussycat pals.

85% of dogs and 70% of cats suffer from dental problems. Those numbers are staggering. Even more staggering is that many of our pets' dental issues often go unnoticed and therefore untreated. Dental health is directly linked to cardiac and renal health and as such, being proactive with your pets oral health can greatly impact their overall health in a very positive way!
