welcome to our
first edition of 2016! It is great to be back after an amazing break taking last edition off to get married. We hope you enjoyed the Summer edition!
This year you can expect to see our latest blogs available on our website, updated weekly at LivingLocalGuide.com.au. Through imagery, interviews, personal stories and practical tips, our team aims to highlight helpful and uplifting topics for 2016. This edition I was delighted to interview Dr Michael Mosley, the world’s most famous human guinea pig. You may know him from his countless documentaries or as the creator of the 5:2 diet. Michael has just released his new book, The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet. It’s a worthwhile read especially if you or someone you know has diabetes. I would also like to give a shout-out to Sue who is no longer working with us. On behalf of our team, we would like to say a very big thank you to her for all of the great work she has contributed to Living Local over the last few years! We hope you enjoy this edition! Have a great Autumn!

Crossland’s legacy lives on BY ROBERT C. JOHNSTON, WRITER AND RESEARCHER
Shell middens indicate that the creek provided the Darug people with a rich seafood diet for thousands of years. With a potential threat of Japanese invasion during the Second World War, about 2000 small boats were moored at Crosslands for safety. Unfortunately, a heavy storm caused a flash flood that surged downstream, destroying hundreds of these watercraft.
Crosslands Reserve is situated on the fringe of Hornsby Heights in the Berowra Valley National Park and is well worth the drive.
The beautiful picnic spot is named after Burton Crossland who purchased the area in the late 1800s. He established a guesthouse to accommodate recreational visitors arriving by boat and also built the land access route now known as Somerville Road. After Crossland’s death in 1920 Hornsby Shire Council took over the reserve’s management.
EXCERPT OF A 1936 MOTORING ENTHUSIAST ARTICLE IN THE TRUTH NEWSPAPER (Trove Archive).
Berowra Creek snakes its way through Crosslands, all the way to the Hawkesbury River and out to sea at Broken Bay near Palm Beach.
The Hawkesbury River is actually classified as ‘drowned river valley’ because it was flooded by rising sea levels about 12,000 years ago. As such Berowra Creek is a mixture of fresh and salt water.
BRUSH TURKEY TRACKS
At certain points in the reserve walking tracks disappear into the bush as part of the Great North Walk (which runs an impressive 250km from Sydney to Newcastle).
The reserve is equipped with a children’s playground, flying fox, picnic benches, toilets, bubblers and electric barbecues. Be aware that the vehicle entry gate to Crosslands Reserve is locked in the evening. The 2.5km winding road from the gate to the reserve is quite narrow with many blind corners, so drive slowly. Lovely camping areas are also available for hire and could be a good option to consider if you are thinking of introducing young children to camping and canoeing. Campsites can be booked through the Hornsby Shire Council website. All photos by Robert C. Johnston.

As a makeup artist, I work with my hands, so great nails are an essential. I’ve been a DIY manicure woman for many years, but it’s often time consuming to fix chips on the run. I was lucky enough to be recommended to visit Taline Louise Nail Spa for my nails and I’ve never looked back. I asked Taline a few questions. E: SO, WHAT MAKES A GREAT SET OF NAILS? T: It’s really the training. Some nails need extra sculpting, some need a treatment, so it really depends. And practice, of course! E: SPEAKING OF PRACTICE...CAN I ASK HOW LONG YOU’VE BEEN DOING NAILS? T: Fourteen years...and it’s amazing, I’m still learning all the time. E: THAT’S A LONG TIME! WHAT’S THE BEST PART OF YOUR JOB? T: Definitely the clients. I get to meet women from all walks of life and doing nails is really like therapy! Plus I get to make them feel beautiful - everyone feels better with a nice set of nails. Sometimes it’s the little things in life that cheer you up and I love feeling like I’ve made a difference to someone’s day. E: ( laughs) I know nails are definitely therapy for me! E: LET’S TALK TECHNICAL. I KNOW THERE ARE LOTS OF PRODUCTS IN THE NAIL MARKET - WHAT’S THE BIGGEST INNOVATION YOU’VE SEEN? T: Definitely IBX. It’s a two part system which strengthens your nails under the gels so you can improve your natural nail. E: YOU MENTIONED ‘SCULPTING’ THE NAIL - HOW DOES THAT WORK? T: I use two different types of gels under the colour to create a base for the nails- this means I can make the most beautiful shape and the nails last better.

Dr Michael Mosley
By Edwina Hunter
I
believe the more we are aware, understand and take action on health, the less we will see an increase in health problems including diabetes. According to Diabetes Australia, 280 Australians develop the disease every day. That’s one person every five minutes.
I have been following Dr Michael Mosley’s teachings (books and documentaries) for over a year now. I find his work fascinating, not to mention, entertaining! Michael is probably best known for inventing the 5:2 diet and is the presenter of television programmes on biology and medicine – making over a dozen series for the BBC. He has won
lose any more weight and research shows you can maintain weight loss with 6:1. I have just had a small handful of nuts and plan to roam around outside later for more food. For breakfast I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs which was quite nice and filling.
How is Australia looking?
numerous awards including being named Medical Journalist of the Year by the British Medical Association and is in fact the world’s most famous guinea pig. Michael is in Sydney for a short period to promote his new book, "The 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet". Maree and I were thrilled to have had the recent opportunity to meet Michael and his lovely wife, Clare Bailey, at Sydney’s Shangri La Hotel for a chat and photo session. Clare and Michael share the same passion for health – they met at medical school and both continue to inspire each other. Clare is a GP, parenting expert and founder of parentingmatters.co.uk. They live in Buckinghamshire with their four children, aged 14 to 23. Four years ago, Michael found out he was a type 2 diabetic and didn’t want to go on medication (which is what lead him to invent the 5:2 diet). He soon discovered that type 2 diabetes could be reversed with intermittent fasting.
How is your health going now, four years down the track? Extremely well, thank you. My blood glucose is fine, I am 12 stone (76kg) and I am in very good shape. I am on 6:1 now because I don’t need to 22
Research, I have seen, suggests obesity and overweightness tends to be more focused in the inner suburbs rather than in places like Sydney. Obviously, similar problems there but it is part of a worldwide phenomenon. Funnily enough, the research in the UK, and I suspect true of Australia as well, is that in higher income groups, the women are slimmer and the men are fatter. Being overweight seems to be associated with poverty and ignorance. That certainly isn’t the case. When you simply look at the statistics, women from higher income groups tend to be slimmer. There is a very clear relationship between income and slimness. In men, it’s not at all clear, in fact the group in the UK and Australia who are at the lowest rates of being overweight and obese are those on the lowest income. Probably because they do more physically demanding jobs.
How does Sydney’s lifestyle compare to the UK? A lot more outdoors. There is the most incredibly, wonderful harbour out there. I took a ferry out to Manly the other evening. To have the ability to get on a ferry and only 20 minutes later be on a beach, and to be able to swim is incredible. I was thinking about surfing, realising I haven’t surfed for a long time but watching other people do so is still [to me] experiencing the great outdoors. I just love being by the sea and I wish London was by the sea. Equally, you have fabulous museums! The only thing (from my observations) Sydney lacks is a good public transport system.
Is nutrition focused enough on in medical schools? Absolutely not. I was talking to a couple of Australian doctors the other evening. One of them said he had to look up the word 'carbohydrate' as he knew so little about it. During my years of training at medical school I was required to attend just one class on nutrition. My son is also at medical school and learning nothing on the topic. You learn some of the more exotic diseases and the deficiency diseases but what you don’t ever learn is what carbs do, what fats do, what protein does, what to say to an overweight patient who comes in and asks, what can I do about this?

Quitting sugar (and processed food) has been a hot topic in Australia, do you agree with this? Yes, but I think it has to go wider. You have to find alternatives. First of all, giving up sugar is really hard, speaking from personal experience. I love sugar. I love chocolate. But I am quite happy to not add sugar to anything. I don’t add sugar to my coffee but I do love sweet things. I have to leave them out of my house. If there is chocolate, I will eat it. But then again, you have to find other things to eat. It is not enough to say, give this thing up, you also have to find alternatives and that’s one of the reasons why in my book I bang on about the Mediterranean diet. If you give everything up you will drive yourself mad, or collapse. You have to find other things to keep you satisfied. That’s why I am a fan of eggs for breakfast because of the egg’s protein. Lots of olive oil, lots of lovely salads and occasionally give in to temptation and having a dessert. My general rule is to share my dessert with my wife because you don’t really need it, you just want that taste at the end of the meal. We have a website thebloodsugardiet.com. Lots of Australians have recently joined and they’re all submitting lovely, healthy recipes. We have asked people to drop in recipes to help people and apparently they’re posting away and they’re delicious recipes.
Generally speaking, GP’s love to prescribe medication, do you agree? I think it is sad but completely true. In fact, in the UK you are paid as a doctor to prescribe drugs – not to help patients lose weight. If you help them lose weight then you’re practically losing money. Now, I don’t think many family doctors are motivated by this and I have spoken to Australian doctors who have said they would never do that and always offer their advice. This is more complex with patients who have a high blood sugar and nobody is doing anything about it at all. It’s an unintended consequence of a well-intended policy. That’s often the way in medicine, you start off wanting to do something and it turns into something else. 24
“A recent survey revealed that 83% of overweight and obese Australians struggle with emotional eating,” I Quit Sugar
There is an interesting GP in North England who works in a deprived area. He has used many of the principles in this book. And his patients are largely working class but they understand how to change their diet, you’ve got some very simple principles. Just by putting these principles into practice he’s dropped the drug budget and the diabetes budget by $50,000 in one single year and he’s cut obesity rates. My wife, Clare, works in a fairly deprived area as well and again, her patients do not have any problems with grasping the principles. She starts off by telling them that pretty well everything we’ve been telling you for the past 20 years is wrong – and at that point they listen. Clare: “Their attitude is quite moving, because when you say this to them, they often end up in tears as they’ve been struggling for years.” Clare does the practical stuff, she engages with her patients.
What part does Mindfulness play in the Blood Sugar Diet? Mindfulness is strongly associated with reaching for comfort food. When you’re stressed what happens

went wrong yesterday - your internal dialogue. A good exercise can involve your daily cup of coffee, instead of being on your email, or anything like that, you just feel the warmth of the cup of coffee in your hand, listen to the sounds going on around you. Disengage from the electronic world and your internal thoughts, and engage in being in the present. That’s what it is all about, it’s like when you go for a walk, instead of looking at your shoes or being on your phone, you actually stop and look at the view. Sydney is brilliant! Live in the moment, it is surprisingly hard to do. Try doing it for 10 minutes each morning. Have a go and see what you think.
is your cortisol levels go up and what you want to eat are muffins, etc. Things like carrots, they really don’t hit it. Most of the case studies in the book during stressful events have all responded to stress in that way. There are three pillars to this diet. One of them is calorie cutting, the second is stress management (which is a kind of mindfulness) and the third is exercise. Three elements you have to lose the weight, then you have to find the programme to keep the weight off. I have tried all kinds of things but I found mindfulness by far the most effective. Being optimistic can add up to seven years to your life, four years more than if a cure for cancer was found. The interesting thing about it is you can actually measure what happens after doing a mindfulness programme after six weeks. During my time filming, 'Don’t Worry, Be Happy,' they could actually see the changes in my brain. I became a happier optimist, it worked! And with no drugs or therapy I felt happier! It’s how you incorporate it into your life. Breathing exercises are the beginning of it. The principle sounds really easy but it’s hard. If you sit down and you think about your breathing and not your thoughts, you immediately start thinking in 20 or 30 seconds about your love, your life, what you are going to have for breakfast, things that

STAND TALL - the event
Sydney’s Luna Park, Wednesday 1st June, 9:30am – 2pm
Stand Tall inspires high school students to stand tall and make positive choices.
Now, in its fourth year, Stand Tall - The Event will continue to feature some of the world’s most inspirational and successful young role models who will impart hope, courage to make right choices and great wisdom learned from their own life experiences. "All the trappings of materialistic life in the 21st century are not satisfying the emptiness our young people are feeling," Nick Farr-Jones, Patron and Host, and former Captain of the Wallabies. The international line–up includes famous Brazilian blind surfer, Derek Rabelo and NZ World Hip Hop Dance champions, IDentity. Other inspirational speakers include the Young Australians of the Year, Lucas Patchett and Nic Marchesi, Tony Hoang (leading anti-drugs youth communicator), Brett Murray ("Make Bullying History"), Emma Mullings (TV and Radio Personality), Eloise Wellings (Rio and London Olympic Track
26
star), Poppy Starr Olsen (World Women’s Skate Board Champion) and singers Emma Birdsall (Semifinalist "The Voice") and Jack Vidgen (Winner of Australia’s Got Talent, 2011) . Topics covered will include drugs, bullying, disability and courage, how to treat a woman, eating disorders, leadership, persistence and resilience. Organisers find that students leave the Event with newfound inspiration and skills to live positive, healthy, fulfilling lives and then resolve to Stand Tall and resist the powerful negative influences that surround them in today’s society. Teachers and students’ feedback: "Knowing that someone had gone through the same issues and made it out the other side was so encouraging and the fact that there is someone going through much worse, gave them all a reality check too. The impact on our school has been amazing." "This event is a highlight of our

school year for students and teachers." "A highlight of the day is the chance to mix with 1800 other students of all backgrounds." "The chance to engage with other schools, in this noncompetitive environment, is a rare opportunity."

People tend to sensationalise when there is a mistake but I think it is important for everybody to understand how difficult it is to operate in those departments, how communication actually works, as opposed to how we think it works, and to recognise it involves multiple people, systems and time frames. There isn’t one formula, each and every patient and clinician interaction is unique.

Bug Heaven SUSAN POTTHURST, ELEGANT OUTDOORS GARDEN CENTRE, TURRAMURRA
Have you ever wondered exactly where all of the insects go when it rains, when they’re ready to lay their eggs or when they just need a bit of a rest? They seek out a nook or cranny but as us humans are doing a great job of wiping out a lot of their natural habitat, an insect hotel is a perfect retreat for all kinds of beneficial bugs & bees. Back in the day, before we had garbage collection services, recycling plants, landfill, garden maintenance crews and roadkill collectors, animals and insects dutifully devoured all of the debris and carcasses, breaking down the deceased flora and fauna and depositing the molecules back in to the earth for new lifecycles to begin.
To ensure you can display the “No Vacancies” sign, you’ll need some plants nearby – the more you have, the more likely it is that the bugs will choose to stay at your hotel. Once in residence, many beneficial bugs will be happy to look after your garden. For instance, ladybugs live for two-three years and can eat up to 5000 aphids in this time and lay hundreds of eggs – a gardener’s best friend! Native bees will also love to book a room with you so place your hotel out of strong direct sun and protect it from the rain.
There are a distinct lack of bees throughout Australia because of the limited habitats available to them. We have our own native bee hive in the nursery and these busy little pollinators think all of their Christmases have come at once, with so many plants to choose from. Our ready-made bee and insect hotels start from $19.99 – get one for your garden now and give a bug a home. Remember to give your hotel a name – The Bee Line Motel, The Bee Bop Inn or how about Bugingham Palace!
Luckily, despite our incessant destruction of the insect’s habitats and the consequent interruption to these precious natural ecosystems, through mass urbanisation, mining and logging, the insects are still going strong but we can give them a helping hand by providing safe and dry accommodation.

Suburb Safari GREAT PLACES TO PLAY ON THE NORTH SHORE This is a particularly leafy part of the North Shore, where you and your little ones will be spoilt for choice with parks or play spaces. Unique to St Ives is the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden. I can remember enjoying it as a child, and my little one loves it too. It has many picnic and play areas, walking tracks for all abilities, and the chance to see flowers and animals which you don’t normally see around the suburbs. The best playground is probably Lambert’s Clearing, featuring play equipment, BBQ, picnic tables and toilets. But the best thing is the little rainforest house which is just perfect on a hot day. Bring your bikes or scooters and enjoy an hour or two around the Wildflower Gardens. Not too far away from the St Ives Shopping Village is the Memorial Avenue Reserve. From the cute little pencils at the entrance to the brightly coloured equipment, this inviting park has much to offer. There are trees to climb, plenty of space for running around, but no toilets. Finally, I’d recommend having a search for some of St Ives’ tiny little parks. Some can feel so hidden and all have their own character. Check out Melaleuca Park which falls literally in the middle of Melaleuca Drive; enjoy the relaxed Athena Avenue Reserve; spend a few minutes in the pleasant Yarrabung Reserve; or play hide and seek amongst the trees in Bede’s Forest. These little parks are a great treat for any young ones!

What’s your dream wedding look like? For Edwina and Rowan it was to be surrounded by loved ones and the great outdoors. Their destination was at Sydney’s Fleet Steps. “We dreamed of having a marquee wedding,” Edwina. From the ceremony, blooming with tradition, at St Thomas’ North Sydney to the beautiful reception, overflowing with nature. “The necklace I wore was the same necklace both my nana (Edna GarranBrown) and mum (Joanne Hunter (Thew)) wore at their weddings, and my sister (Joanne Scott), just married, wore it on her wedding day too,” Edwina.

FIVE MINUTES WITH MIRUSIA LOUWERSE EXTENDED INTERVIEW ONLINE @ WWW.LIVING LOCALGUIDE. COM.AU
I am so excited. The facilities and the phenomenal acoustics of the Concert Hall are really something to look forward to. The last time I performed a solo concert in Sydney was at the Sydney Opera House. I decided the Concourse would be perfect for my new tour ‘This Time Tomorrow.’
USA! The rest is history, really! I toured extensively with Andre for many years and still, to this day, perform with him when I am not touring solo.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO ANY LOCAL NORTH SHORE YOUNG PEOPLE KEEN TO DEVELOP THEIR SINGING TALENT?
HOW DID YOU MEET ANDRE RIEU? The most important thing is to Mirusia is coming to Chatswood, Saturday April 30th. She has released five solo albums (her version of Ave Maria has had over 27 million views on YouTube) and she is the only classical artist with an ARIA No. 1 Chart Award.
ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO PERFORMING AT THE CONCOURSE?

My Aunt sent an email to him to let him know that she had a niece in Australia who would be a perfect addition to his concerts. He immediately called me at home, invited me to Maastricht to meet him. So I flew to Maastricht the next day, auditioned for him in his studio and two weeks later I was on stage with him in Boston, in the

believe in yourself and your talent, and don’t let anyone tell you that you are not good enough. Listen to criticism and do with it what you can but never give up on your dreams. I had been told so many times that I would never make it and that I was too ugly. Luckily I never listened and kept on doing what I loved!

Weekend escape to Boomerang Beach BY SUE HANDISIDES
A comfortable three hours’ drive from Sydney’s North Shore is Moby’s Beachside Retreat located across the road from Boomerang Beach, a picturesque beach with postcard views. Moby’s was the perfect place for a weekend escape for my friend Rachel and me. After arriving late afternoon, the staff at check-in suggested we book a table for dinner at Moby’s on Redgum, so after unpacking the car and enjoying the quiet of the Beach Hut we wandered back down the resort road towards the restaurant positioned right beside the pool. It’s a pleasant atmosphere and the servings were large enough that we could have shared theentrees. The food was delicious and it was lovely not to have to drive anywhere. The self-contained Beach Hut was spacious and well equipped, with comfortable beds and great showers – always a plus when staying away from 42
home. We were thankful for a great night’s sleep. After a splendid sleep-in and a relaxed homecooked breakfast we decided to check out Forster. A short 20-minute drive later we were wandering around the shopping centre. We spent lunch at Beach Bums Café, a relaxed place to eat with tables directly on the beach edge. We both enjoyed a pulled lamb roll (we left most of the bread on the plate as we’re enjoying the benefits of a paleo diet). With a couple of DVDs in hand we opened a bottle of red and basked in having no little people to manage for the usual afternoon/evening routines. Thankful for capable husbands at home being Dads, we cooked a simple dinner and enjoyed the night. Sunday morning, after another sleep-in and a morning cuppa, we checked out and headed back to Foster for a beautiful breakfast at Tartt Café

Moby’s Beachside Retreat is a place I’d recommend to anyone wanting a weekend or week away as a couple or family. There are a variety of accommodation options to suit different needs and each beach hut has a private outdoor setting providing its own oasis – your time and space is not interrupted by the activities of others. It’s very quiet and you can even hear the birds singing. 44

EXTENDED INTERVIEW ONLINE @ WWW.LIVING LOCALGUIDE. COM.AU
WHAT HAS BEING A MOTHER TAUGHT YOU?
This is a story of hope, compassion, community, love and hard work. Emily came into the world after a long, arduous labour, during which she was affected by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy – brain damage caused by low oxygen. Emily suffers from vision impairment, cerebral palsy and uncontrolled epilepsy. Together Claire (mum), Ben (dad) and Emily work with a physiotherapist and attend hydrotherapy to keep her muscles developing. Early intervention is key.
WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALISE THERE WERE COMPLICATIONS? When they checked me during labour and couldn’t detect a heartbeat. I knew things weren’t right but you just deal with it. You have a beautiful little girl who is relying on you and trying her damnedest so you just do your part and be there.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE A TYPICAL WEEK? Our week fluctuates but on a Monday we have either paediatrician, neurology, rehab clinic, doctors, eye clinic or feeding clinic. Then Tuesdays tend to be hydrotherapy. On Wednesday we often have RIDBC (Royal institute for Deaf and Blind Children) come and do vision therapy. Thursdays is occupational therapy and physiotherapy at Cerebral Palsy Alliance. Once a month on Friday I attend a special needs mothers group. Emily handles this relentless schedule with grace and patience.
I never knew the full capacity and variety of love before Emily. I have no doubts when it comes to her. I appreciate life and loved ones like never before. She made me fall in love with my husband all over again and on a deeper level which I didn’t think was possible. I was scared at the beginning our situation would ruin my family and tear us apart but Emily did the opposite, she made us stronger. I have never felt more love, strength, support or purpose than I do now and she taught me to hang on to hope and I plan to spend the rest of my life giving it to her.
WHAT HAS BEING A FATHER TAUGHT YOU? It has taught me patience, persistence, hope, and unconditional love. Patience, with the screaming that we receive every day from Emily, and who can blame her, if I had multiple seizures every day, I’d say I would be pretty upset too, and I’m 35, she’s not even two years old. Persistence and hope, that maybe with assisted help she’ll possibly walk one day or, even more importantly, maybe communicate with us. Lastly, love. It’s taught me love like I’ve never experienced before. I love my wife and understand what love is but this is different, not greater, more or less, just different. She’s a part of me, I helped create her. She’s my responsibility. My unconditional love. Claire’s family and friends have organised an event to raise money to help Emily be all that she can be. Join Jonesy and Amanda from WSFM, Saturday 7th May at Dockside, Cockle Bay for The Little Ray of Sunshine Ball. Further details or to donate please visit: www.littlerayofsunshine.org
Senior Pets:
LOOKING AFTER OUR OLD FRIENDS
BY DR. DR NICK TAYLOR BVSC GREENCROSS VETS ROSEVILLE
Just like us, as our pet’s age they have an increased chance of developing health problems and need a little extra care. We can do a lot for our geriatric pets to help keep them feeling well. Bringing your pets for their annual check-up and vaccination enables your vet to discuss all aspects of their care, throughout their lives. But as your dog or cat ages, a check-up every six months is well worthwhile. Some of the problems which are more common in our older pets are arthritis, dental disease, heart disease, kidney disease, cancer, diabetes and endocrine disease. Your vet may recommend a blood test as the best way to look for the early indicators of age-related illnesses. The earlier a diagnosis is made, the better your pet’s management will be. With the increased requirement for more frequent veterinary care, schemes such as Healthy Pets Plus, a proactive health management plan available only from Greencross Vets can help to reduce your yearly costs, covering most aspects of pet health care. The plan provides free or discounted services that particularly benefit older pets and can be undertaken at any age or disease stage. Nutrition is an important aspect of geriatric management. For example, some dogs become less active and need restricted calorie diets. Others have a reduced appetite, so need more concentrated food. Special diets are available to help manage various problems, such as kidney disease and osteoarthritis. Arthritic pain can really slow your old pet down, especially during the colder months. X-rays may be recommended to make an accurate diagnosis and treatments include Cartrophen injections, which improve the condition of the joints, joint supplements and anti-inflammatories to relieve pain, comfortable bedding, a moderate exercise 46
program, and weight reduction if necessary. Once diagnosed we can dramatically improve an arthritic pet’s life in as little as three weeks, freeing them from ongoing pain and reduced enjoyment of life. Dental problems can make your pet reluctant to eat, and absorption of bacteria and toxins from an unhealthy mouth will make other problems such as heart and kidney disease much worse. Unfortunately, we can’t stop the aging process, but we can help our old friends stay comfortable and well for as long as possible. Regular checkups by your veterinarian to enable early detection and management of any problems are the key to their comfort and wellbeing. So if you feel that your pet has not quite been themselves lately or you just need that ‘peace of mind’ to see how they’re travelling in their older years, please don’t hesitate to contact your local pet care team from Greencross Vets Roseville.
