With the warm weather now here snakes start to re-emerge from their hiding places. In the western suburbs of Melbourne the most common snakes are brown and tiger snake, both very venomous. Please be very mindful when walking your dogs, try to stick to a clear path and have them on leash.

If your pet has been bitten by a snake it is very important to seek veterinarian assistance straight away, as time is of the essence.
