Good afternoon to our lovely clients and your sweet fur babies!

This weekend is going to be nothing short of a scorcher!

With that, we are sending out a friendly reminder to pay extra attention to these factors:

> Make sure your animals have ample water, we also encourage putting some water out for our wildlife friends!
> Make sure your animals have access to shade.
> Refrain from strenuous exercise to avoid heat stroke.
> Avoid walking on hot roads.
>If you are travelling with your dog, ensure that windows are open.

Have a wonderful summer weekend everyone!

Happy New Year to all of our clients and their gorgeous fur kids.

Please note we are closed today on the 1st of January.

Tomorrow the vet will be available for emergencies only, between 11am and 12pm.

We will resume our normal operating hours from Monday the 3rd of January.

We want to send out a big thank you to all our clients for spoiling us this festive season. The biscuits, chocolates, treats and thoughtful cards are greatly appriciated by all of us here at Noordhoek Vet.

OH NO, Its that time of year again!!!

GRASS SEEDS! FOX TAILS! GRASS AWNS!

We see a lot of animals at the vet because of these grasses.
These grass seeds hook themselves onto the coat or in the ear of the dog with their barbed ridges, as the dog moves the grass seed is able to pe*****te the skin and cause further issues which usually requires surgery.

Symptoms could be:
A swollen irritated spot on the paw or between the toes.
incessant shaking of the head with discomfort.
Swollen sensitive area on the side or under side of your dog.
Prevention:
Try avoid these gassed areas if at all possible.
After a walk in areas with these grasses please don't forget to thoroughly check your dog's body, if your dog has a thick coat grooming with a good brush would be very wise.

Looking for a loving home!

The current foster parent is leaving the country in one week. Despite efforts to look for a home nothing has been found yet.

Freya is a gorgeous GSD mix, around 8years of age.

Good with children and other dogs. Unfortunately not great with cats.

She doesn't need a lot of space or exercise. Just a nice stroll a couple of times a week, two or three small meals a day, and to be able to sleep in your room at night.

Ideally a family where there is someone who is always home. She is a socialite who doesn't mind who she is spending her time with, as long as it is SOMEONE. She doesn't jump or bark and walks wonderfully on leash. Her hearing is starting to go, but otherwise she is still in good health.

Safely home.

Thank you everyone.
These two gorgeous Geese were brought in this morning after a car drove into them. They have been examined by Dr Karyn Levy and are lucky to just have suffered from shock and a minor flesh wound. They were in a flock crossing the road from Crofters Valley side over to the Lake Michelle side (Old entrance close to Harmony estate.)

We are reaching out to see if they are possibly owned.

If anyone is able to shed some light on this please contact Noorshoek Vet on 021 789 2888

Yes absolutley. There will be areas where the ticks and fleas are more prominent but if your walking your dog then chances are they will be at risk from these pesky external parasites.
