It’s nearly Halloween 👻

We like to think we are fairly brave, but these are some things that scare us when working in vet medicine.

What others would you add to the list?

Joan and her socks 🧦💜

Did you know we often get pets bringing in a comfort toy to keep them feeling calm and settled during their stay?

Does your pet have a favourite toy?

We would love to see it below 💙⬇️

☀️🥵 HOBART, IS IT SUMMER ALREADY?!

Spring seems to have skipped a few steps this week, with Hobart turning up the heat! 🌡️

While we might be enjoying the sunshine, our pets aren’t always quite as enthusiastic about the warmer weather.

Here are a few reminders from our team to help keep your furry family members safe. 🐾

💧 Water, water, water!
Make sure your pets have plenty of fresh, cool drinking water. Pop out an extra bowl or two, particularly if you’re away from home during the day.

🌳 Shade and somewhere cool
Ensure pets have access to shade and good airflow throughout the day. Better still, bring them inside where it’s cooler! Don’t forget about rabbits, guinea pigs and other little pets who are particularly vulnerable to overheating.

🐕 Rethink the daily walk
Early mornings or cooler evenings are best. Remember that concrete and asphalt can become much hotter than the air temperature and burn little paws. And if it’s particularly hot, skipping a walk is absolutely okay!

🚗 Cars are a BIG no!
Never leave pets unattended in cars, even with the windows cracked or parked in the shade. Temperatures inside vehicles can become dangerous within minutes.

🐶 Some pets need extra care
Our flat-faced friends (think Frenchies, pugs and bulldogs), older pets, overweight pets and those with underlying health conditions can be particularly susceptible to heatstroke.

🚨 Know the signs of heatstroke
Excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, unsteadiness or collapse are all warning signs.

Heatstroke is a veterinary emergency! If you’re concerned, start cooling your pet with cool (not icy) water and airflow, and seek veterinary assistance immediately.

💙 And finally, remember that it’s only October! Our Tassie pets might not be quite ready for this sudden burst of summer weather either.

Stay cool, Hobart! ☀️🐾

Love, the NHVH team 💙

Our Family Album: Georgia! 💙💜💚🧡

Meet Georgia, one of our incredible vet techs and a much-loved member of the NHVH family! 🐾

You’ll probably recognise Georgia by her ever-changing hair colour (and sometimes she’s sporting two colours at once! 🌈).

Georgia is right at home in our surgery and treatment rooms, where she provides exceptional care to pets who need it most. She’s particularly impressive in an emergency, and we’re convinced no one can get an ECG onto a patient faster than Georgia! ⚡️

She brings her A-game to work every single day, is an absolute superstar team player and never fails to make us smile with updates on the latest adventures of her two cats. 😹 Their current project? Mastering the cat running wheel!

Georgia, thank you for the energy, dedication and care you bring to our team every day. We’re so lucky to have you, and so are the pets and people you look after! 💙🐾

Happy Birthday Remi! 🎉🎂
On Tuesday it was Remi’s 15th birthday! His beautiful pet parents were very generous and dropped off yummy treats for the team, we appreciated them very much 🙏

Celebrating milestones, including ‘big birthdays’ always feel very special to us. We see it as a chance to reflect on how long we have known not only a pet, but their carers as well. We always feel very lucky to have the chance to be a part of your lives 💙

Remi is the most beautiful and gentle pup ♥️ with such a caring family. Please join us in wishing him a very Happy Birthday 👏

Did you know that the bandanas we put on are not only just for fashion (yes we do put a considerable amount of thought as to which bandana suits which pet 😹) … but they are also scented with a pheromone that helps your pet feel calm 🥰 … fashionable and practical!
