We love a puppy cuddle on a Tuesday morning 😍
Our first appointment of the day was seeing Loki for his second puppy vaccination.
This wriggly fellow became instantly still as soon as the camera came out!

We hope you all had a lovely Christmas.
Cash certainly did.
Not only did he celebrate Christmas, he also turned 3 on Christmas Eve 🥰

We would love to see your Christmas pet photos.

Reminder we are closed until Wednesday the 7th of January.
Nurse Karyn will be available to answer the phone and check emails.

Look at that cute face. We had a visit with the ever so smiley Arnold (affectionately known as Arnie) for his checkup and vaccination.
No treat was left behind! 😊

Kedi said ‘no work today nurse Karyn. All your attention must be on me, not your computer’

If you’re a local at Boodle Beasley in North Hobart you might have seen this handsome boy wandering in to say Hello 😊
I’ve even heard there was a cocktail named after him!

Miss Muffin was such a good patient today. The best part was the feliway licki stick afterwards….these are very popular amongst our feline friends. They are called the ‘happy snack’ for a very good reason!
One of the main ingredients is a natural milk protein called alpha-casozepine, which is scientifically proven to help cats keep calm. 🐱

We recently had the pleasure of seeing the handsome and charismatic Jagger for his yearly checkup and vaccinations.
We have never seen a greyhound sit so frequently for his treats!
It can be uncomfortable for this breed to sit due to their skeletal and muscular structures, but not Jagger! No command needed just a treat will do the trick! 😊
