FAQs
How often should I take my dog to the vet?
A check up every 6-12 months is recommended, including an annual visit for vaccinations! More frequent visits may be needed for pups, seniors or dogs with different health conditions.
My dog gets anxious when visiting the vet. What can I do?
At Vets on Balwyn Clinic, we understand that a trip to the vet can be stressful for some dogs. While we do everything we can to make your pet’s visit as calm and comfortable as possible, some dogs may benefit from medication beforehand to help ease their anxiety. Give us a call to chat about the best options for your dog—we’re here to help.
What should I do when I bring home a new puppy or adopt a dog?
Congratulations on your new furry friend! Bringing a dog into your life is an exciting time, and with so much information out there, it can feel a little overwhelming. We recommend booking a health check within the first week of bringing your new companion home. This allows us to make sure they’re healthy, with no hidden surprises, and gives you the chance to ask questions and get all the guidance you need to start your journey into pet ownership with confidence. For puppies we offer a complimentary consultation for first visits (except when due for vaccinations), booking online today!
Why is my dog scooting?
Scooting—when your dog drags their bottom along the ground—is usually a sign that something is irritating them back there. The most common cause is full or irritated anal glands, but it can also be due to allergies, parasites, or skin infections. If you notice your dog scooting, it’s a good idea to book them in for a check up.
Why is my dog eating grass?
Some dogs eat grass out of habit, boredom, or to settle their tummy. It’s generally harmless, but frequent vomiting after eating grass will require a vet check.
