While dogs with arthritis may show signs of limping or slowing down on walks, cats may have much more subtle signs of arthritis, such as sleeping more, not grooming as much (particularly around the hind quarters) or not jumping as high.

Did you know some plants are poisonous to pets?
Everyone loves the beautiful array of flowers we have here in the Hills, but did you know some plants are poisonous to pets? Lilies, rhododendrons, azaleas, daffodils, tulips, camellias, hydrangeas, carnations and chrysanthemums are just some of the many plants which can be dangerous to pets. Ornamental flowers in flower arrangements can also pose a risk to indoor pets. In some cases, such as lilies, even a cat just licking the pollen off their fur can cause potentially deadly illness. Be aware of the risks with any flowers or plants in your home and garden, and where possible prevent your pets from accessing them.

Urine tests are essential to investigate problems such as excessive thirst or urination, urinary incontinence (leaking urine when asleep), inappropriate urination around the house or difficult/painful urination.
