Pets do not make good presents.

Christmas is at the door step. Pets do not make good presents.

• Please remember it is a commitment to care for a dog, cat or even hamster for years. 
• Consider the time and costs (food, vet,...) you must spend for your furry friend. 
• There are a lot of puppies and kittens waiting in animal shelters. Go and visit KSPCA in Karen and read "15 reasons to consider a recue dog".
• Do not buy from the street or breeders that are not willing to show you the parents and how they are kept. It is very likely you are buying a dog from a puppy miller.

Transporting Your Pet By Plane

Last week we transported a 4 months old puppy from Nairobi to Coast and found out that the most convenient way is through Airkenya.
All you need is a ...

• “Health Certificate” – we will be happy to check if it is valid and has all necessary vaccinations 
• “Transport Permit” from "small five VET CLINIC" 
• “Transport Cage” 
•  reserved Ticket (you can travel with the dog or send it alone, both for a small fee of $ 30.- (Oct 2013), for more details call small five VETCLINIC 0202001007) 

The airport staff was very understanding and allowed the dog to be walked outside until shortly before departure which minimizes the stress in the cage and plane. The time in the cage is short and the pet is transported in a pressurized luggage compartment. Make sure you don’t feed your dog before the journey but give it little to drink to avoid dehydration. Make it used to the transport box a few days before travelling (e.g. lock it there during night for sleeping).

We can highly recommend this way of transport!

Deworming

A day after deworming this round worms came off a 5 week old rott pup!

 

Did you know animals can get infested with worms as early as at birth?
Yes, in the uterus the worms can be transmitted from the maternal system to the foetus. After birth most of the worms are transmitted via suckling process from the maternal system to the young ones through milk, from the ground and housing.

Worms share a big portion of the feed you give to your animal, by sucking blood they also lower the immunity. In return these young ones are vulnerable to disease attacks.

At “small five VET CLINIC” we advice regular deworming between 2-3 months. We also carry out faecal lab examinations to determine if your pet is worm infested.

Make sure you deworm your pet regularly!

Puppy Care

What if the mother dies and you are left with four cute but helpless and hungry puppies?



In that case prepare for busy nights and make sure you have the right substitute food. Your effort will definitely pay. Keep the puppies warm and clean. Foodwise we highly recommend bewi-dog whelp milk.

Even if your bitch has milk it is an excellent addition to ensure your puppies will grow big and healthy!

Get bewi-dog whelp milk at our pet shop and give your puppies a good start into their lives!
