🚽 Problems with Urinating and Defecating: Let’s Solve It Together
If your pet is having toileting accidents or behavioural issues, don’t stress—we’re here to help. Many toileting problems have an underlying cause that can be treated or managed with expert care.
Common Issues We Treat:
Our Approach:
Q: My dog is urinating indoors—should I be worried?
A: Yes—it could be behavioural, but also medical. We recommend a full check-up to identify and treat the root cause early.
Q: My cat is urinating away from the litter box, can you help or do I need a pet whisperer?
A: We can help, and we are trained “cat whisperers” We have the skills to work out why your cat has stopped using the litter. They are usually communicating that they are unhappy or unwell.
Q: My dog is straining to poo and I haven’t seen any for a couple of days—should I be worried?
A: Yes—impaction of stool can require anaesthesia and an enema to relieve if it is left for too long. Early intervention allows us to treat this medically and give you dietary advice to prevent it from happening in the future. We can also rule out anything more serious that could be preventing the stool from coming out.
Q: My cat is going back and forth to the litter but not producing anything—should I be worried?
A: Yes—this can be an emergency in cats, call now.
