Deadly virus hits QLD and NSW dogs 

Veterinarians are warning dog and puppy owners to make sure their pets are up to date with their vaccinations as a new wave of parvovirus circulates in some areas of Queensland and New South Wales. 

Are you up to date with the new cat vaccinations that are now available or do you have some needling doubts?

Anal Gland disease is a common and distressing condition in pets and is one of the common causes of 'scooting' behaviour - where a dog or cat drags its derriere along the carpet.

Cushing's disease is a serious disease of dogs that owners need to be aware of. This is one disease that is far more common in pets than it is in humans. While six in 100,000 people suffer from Cushing's disease, the condition is about 200 times more common in dogs, with one in 1,000 dogs suffering from the condition.

It's wonderful sharing your life with a pet but not so good when the pet shares disease with you. Ringworm is the 'social butterfly' of pet diseases and is quite happy to flit from pet to pet and, from pet to owner. It can even spread from an infected owner to his or her innocent pet!
