Snakes, Ticks and heatwaves - This was Beaumont Hills Snake

​Summer is on its way, and for our furry friends this means so are ticks, snakes and heatwaves. Pet owners need to be more vigilant during hot weather by checking their pets for ticks regularly.

Hot temperatures can also be stressful for pets. Avoid trips to the beach or exercising your pet on hot days. Never leave your pet in a hot car. Ensure you pet has access to shade and plenty of fresh water particularly whilst they are home alone.

If your pet shows signs of severe panting and drooling, fatigue, wobbly legs, diarrhoea or vomitting, speak to your vet.
