🐾 Staff Pet Sunday - Meet Jasper!

Jasper is a 14 year old ginger tabby belonging to Bridget from our nursing team.

He is affectionately described as "very large, very orange, and having never formed a single thought in his life", so Jasper is still patiently waiting for his turn with the shared orange cat brain cell.

Until then, he spends his time enjoying life's simple pleasures: food, naps, and his collection of favourite Big W reusable bags.

Low expectations, unlimited snacks, and a favourite reusable bag.
Jasper has life figured out.🧡🐱

We had the most incredible time at this year’s - thank you so much for having us!🐶

It was an absolute joy to meet so many of you, discover amazing brands and see all the beautiful breeds waddling around, but what we loved most was hearing your stories.

From our very first clinic on Appleby Road to our brand new Sunshine Coast clinic, you shared decades worth of memories with us - the puppy births, the late nights our team helped save a life, the surgeries, the chemo journeys, and the beloved dogs whose memories will be forever cherished. You’ve called QVS home, and that means everything to us.

A special thank you to everyone who stopped by to pass on their gratitude to our vets and specialists. We will make sure every kind word finds its way back to the team!

We can’t wait to do it all again next year.
See you there!🐾
