🌻 Spring Is in Full Swing! 🌻

Longer days, warmer weather and colourful gardens mean more opportunities to get outdoors and enjoy time with our four-legged companions ☀️🐾🌸

But we’re not the only ones enjoying the warmer weather! Spring can also bring unwanted visitors such as fleas, ticks and mosquitoes that transmit heartworm, so now’s a great time to make sure your pet’s parasite protection is up to date.

With convenient options available, including yearly Bravecto Quantum & heartworm prevention injections for dogs, and Felpreva, a three-monthly spot-on flea & tick treatment for cats, keeping on top of parasite prevention can be nice and simple!

Keeping your furry friend protected means one less thing to worry about while you’re out enjoying those beautiful spring days together 🌺 🐶🐱

🩷 Happy Vet Nurse Day! 🩷

We would like to take the time to celebrate all our amazing nurses and everything you do every day! 💕

You’ll not only see them at the front desk — they’re also busy behind the scenes doing so much to keep the clinic running and our patients happy and healthy!

What our awesome nurses do: 👇

📞 Reception, ordering medications, scheduling appointments and providing education on prevention and treatment plans

🩸 Taking bloods, running diagnostics, placing IV catheters, taking X-rays and administering medications

😷 Admitting and discharging patients, setting up for surgery and monitoring anaesthetics

❤️ Providing supportive hospital and post-surgical nursing care

✂️ Grooming, a**l gland expression, nail trimming and ear cleaning

🐱🐶 Looking after our boarders — feeding, walking, playing and, of course, spoiling them with pats and all the cuddles! 🥰

We have an amazing team of nurses, and we can’t thank you enough for everything you do! 🩷

🥂 Here’s to Cassandra, Cara, Gen, Melissa, Madison, Alexis & Cheryl for all your years of hard work, dedication and the compassion you show our clients and patients every single day. You are all nurse superstars! 🌟

And we have some new faces! A very special welcome to Jacinta & Ashley, who have both recently joined our team! ❤️

Happy Vet Nurse Day to all our wonderful nurses! 🐾🩷

💙 Farewell to our nurse Alexis! 💙

For the past 7 years, Alexis has been such a valued part of our team, bringing her compassion, kindness and positive energy to work every single day! Her quick wit and great sense of humour have also brought plenty of laughs to the team over the years! ❤️🐾

Alexis has decided to begin her studies in Occupational Therapy, while also doing dental nursing on the side! 🦷 While we are sad to see her go, we’re so excited for her as she takes on this new chapter. She has been an amazing veterinary nurse and we have no doubt she’ll be just as wonderful in her next adventure! 🌟💪

Alexis, thank you for all the laughs, hard work and wonderful memories over the years. We wish you the absolute best of luck in your studies, your new career path and all the adventures ahead! We’re going to miss you lots! 😘🐾❤️

Have you seen anything cuter?! 🥹💛

Everyone meet Wiley, the gorgeous Golden Retriever! 🐾✨ He came in for a check-up, and he arrived in style in his very own little wagon! 🛒🐶 How cute is he?!

We hope Wiley feels better very soon and can’t wait to see him again for some more cuddles! 🥰💛

Everyone meet Chilli! 🐾💗 This gorgeous little Dachshund x Italian Greyhound is 2½ years old and came in the other day for a dental clean and polish.

Just look at those before and after photos! She’s got a beautifully sparkly white smile now! ✨🦷

We also got the sweetest photo of Chilli all tucked up in bed after her surgery that night. 🥹💤 She was so happy and comfortable!

We can’t wait to see you again soon, Chilli! 💕🐶

Cuteness overload! 🐶💉💗

Look at these adorable, well-behaved pups who came in for their yearly vaccinations and health checks! 🥰

They were all such brave little superstars—even after their needles, they were still showing off those gorgeous, photogenic, smiley faces! 🐾✨

So proud of these brave babies! ❤️🐶

A beautiful thank you from one of our beautiful clients. 🐾❤️

Django, the sweetest 5-year-old Labrador, surprised us with this beautiful card and chocolates. 🍫💌

Poor little man has had both of his knees operated on this year, so seeing how well he is recovering makes us incredibly proud of his progress. 🥰

Django is such a pleasure to have visit us. He always puts the biggest smiles on our faces and, of course, gives the best cuddles! 🐶❤️

We are so proud of you, beautiful boy, and so grateful for your thoughtful gift. Keep up the amazing recovery, Django! 🐾💕

💙 Farewell Cheryl! 💙

After so many years of being such a valued part of our team, we say goodbye to our wonderful vet nurse Cheryl as she heads off on a new adventure and a well-deserved sea change! 🌊☀️

We’re going to miss that smiling, welcoming face on reception, her cheerful voice on the phone, and of course the warmth and positivity she brought to the clinic every day.

Cheryl has been such a big part of our clinic family, and we can’t thank her enough for all the years of hard work, care and laughs along the way. 🥰

It’s definitely the end of an era, and the clinic won’t quite be the same without her!

Wishing you all the happiness in your new chapter, Cheryl. We hope the sea air, sunshine and slower pace are everything you’re dreaming of! 💕🌴

We’ll miss you more than you know! ❤️
