Help Support The Sailing Vet Clinic’s Mission to Provide Veterinary Care in Mexico
Hello everyone, I hope this message finds you all doing well. I recently heard from one of our former vets who worked with us back in 2013, and I wanted to share an update on what they've been up to. They have been running a non-profit from their sailboat and have...
Dental Care
Another soapbox I often stand on (I have many of them and lots and lots of opinions on many different aspects of life - I just need someone to listen to these opinions) is the dental care of our furry animal friends. The biggest condition (or deterioration) our...
Dental Month
This month is Dental Month, and we encourage ALL owners of dogs and cats to examine the teeth and gums of their animals - looking for discolouration of the teeth, redness of the gums, swelling of the gums or just halitosis (bad breath). If your dog or cat has any of...
Road Works – basically finished
The Main Roads people have basically finished renovating the road outside our animal hospital and after 3 months of frustration the road is open for normal traffic. I think it is important for all clients who are travelling from the Bargara direction to know -...

Snake Patrol
We have already seen a few cases of snake envenomation (snake bite) and we think all clients should be aware of the dangers of our animals playing with snakes. At the moment the snakes are starting to move around and bask in the warmth of spring and they are very...
Dental Month News
There is the saying “You do not have to be mad, but it helps” that seems to apply to the month of August when we have “Dental Month”. For the last month we have been “flat strap” cleaning and polishing teeth of dogs and cats and fixing the oral problems that occurs in...
Vaccination Prevent Deadly or Debilitating Diseases
Over the last few months with the advent of Covid-19 virus – a few owners have been concerned with “going out” in public or have had financial concerns and have allowed their animal’s vaccination program to lapse. As we are still seeing some Parvo cases as well as Cat...
September 2020
I am amazed how time flies when you are having fun (and how it crawls when times are tough) – it was only the other day I was sitting behind the wheel of my old Landcruiser (1995 model) as I bumped across the fields where I take my dogs for their daily walk with my...
It is TIME to get your animal clipped if the dog or cat has a long or thick coat
