The Importance of Microchipping Your Dog ๐Ÿพ

Losing a dog is every ownerโ€™s worst nightmare. The not knowing, the waiting, and the fear that you may never see them again can be heartbreaking. Thatโ€™s why microchipping is so important โ€” it gives lost dogs a voice and gives families hope.

Leah had been missing for 18 long months. Her family never stopped wondering where she was or if she was safe. Yesterday, she was brought into Brackenhurst Vet, and with one simple scan, everything changed. Leah was microchipped, and the details on her chip allowed us to contact her owners and reunite her with the family who had been missing her for a year and a half.

Tears, hugs, and an incredible reunion โ€” all made possible by a tiny microchip.

Please make sure your dog is microchipped and that your contact details are kept up to date. That small step could be the reason your dog finds their way home ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

The festive season is a time of joy and celebration, but it can also bring hidden dangers for our pets. With more food around, decorations on display, and busy households, itโ€™s important to stay mindful of their safety.

Many holiday foods can be harmful to pets, even in small amounts. Items like chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, alcohol, fatty leftovers, and foods containing xylitol can cause serious health issues. Always keep human treats out of reach and remind guests not to share their snacks.

Decorations can also pose risks โ€” tinsel, ribbons, wrapping paper, and ornaments may look like toys but can cause choking or intestinal blockages if swallowed. Secure decorations well and supervise curious pets.

The best way to include your pets in the festive fun is by keeping their routine as normal as possible, offering pet-safe treats, and spending quality time together. A safe and calm environment is the greatest gift you can give them this season.

Breathing easy! ๐Ÿพ Look at this incredible transformation.

This adorable Frenchie was struggling with very tight, pinched nostrils, a condition known as stenotic nares. This is a common issue associated with Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome (BOAS) in flat-faced breeds, making it difficult for them to get enough air.

We performed a procedure to open up his nostrils, and the difference is a literal breath of fresh air for this little guy

๐Ÿ“ธ The first photo shows his nose before surgery. You can see how narrow the openings were. ๐Ÿ“ธ The next two photos show his new, wider nostrils after the surgery. He can finally take a full, deep breath!

We're so thrilled for this little guy and his improved quality of life. Wishing him a speedy recovery! โค๏ธ๐Ÿฉน

It is with heavy hearts but full support that we announce that Dr. Roxanne Mavrides will be leaving the Brackenhurst Veterinary Hospital team.

Dr. Roxanne joined us back in 2015 and has been an integral part of our family ever since. Whether you met her during a routine check-up or an emergency, you likely experienced her incredible compassion, her warm exuberance, and her unwavering dedication to animal welfare.

She has been a rock for our team through busy seasons and big changes, always putting her patients and her colleagues first. Her work ethic is second to none, and her skill as a veterinarian has saved and improved countless lives here in Alberton.

Dr. Rox, thank you for being an amazing colleague, a brilliant vet, and a true friend. You have left a paw print on all our hearts. We are going to miss you terribly, but we wish you nothing but success and happiness in your next chapter!

Please join us in the comments to wish Dr. Roxanne a fond farewell!
