We can't wait to see you all tomorrow, and your Fur Babies on Noosa River for A Dog's Life: Pet Expo.

We are delighted to welcome our Presenting Partners Queensland Veterinary Specialists to the PAWTY this year!! 🐾🐕‍🦺🐕🐩

When is comes to your Fur Babies, they know that only the best will do.

QVS has been caring for pets since 1982, making them Australia's longest-established specialist and emergency veterinary hospital.

Over more than four decades, they've become a trusted name for pet owners right across the country, with referrals coming in from every state.

They have three large hospitals across South East Queensland PLUS their brand new hospital at Warana right here on the Sunshine Coast!

QVS are incredibly proud to be principal sponsors of A Dog's Life, and believe that there's no better place to introduce ourselves to the Sunshine Coast community than the Coast's most popular Doggy Day Out! 🐕 🐾

Head over to their marquee and say hello, bring your dog — and join in the fun.
There's some great prizes up for grabs. 👏 🏆 🍾

If your pet ever needs urgent care, QVS is open around the clock, every single day of the year. No appointment needed — just call ahead on 1300 QLD VET so their team can be ready for you.

Their Pet Emergency team is backed by specialist clinicians available after hours, which means your pet gets more than triage — they get the right expertise at the right time.

Beyond emergency care, QVS offers a huge range of specialist services under one roof — surgery, internal medicine, critical care, advanced imaging, physiotherapy, oncology, anaesthesia, ophthalmology, dentistry, behaviour, and reproduction. Whatever your pet needs, chances are we've got a specialist for it.
