Morning folks, Please consider adding your voice via this survey link https://petfriendlyagedcare.com.au/surveys/ to include pet care assistance/pet support as part of the new Federally funded in-home aged care program. The decision on this will be critically important for many thousands of frail aged pet owners dependent on in-home care who rely on the benefits of daily pet companionship.

Please read below important message.

Residents of the Sunshine Coast please use caution if walking your pets around the areas of Buddina, Minyama, Pt Cartwright and La Balsa.

We unfortunately have had a series of patients presenting with alike symptoms that may suggest a toxicity by ingestion. Although we are unable to confirm the cause of these presentations the link to these patients is the area that they have walked within the 12 hours prior.

Symptoms to look out for are gastrointestinal upsets, lethargy, or any change to your pets behaviour.

We have chosen to err on the side of caution and have made local authorities aware.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us or your local veterinarian if you have concern.
