To many pets, fireworks feel like a threat.

Not a celebration; a sudden, loud, unpredictable storm of sound and scent and light they can’t make sense of.

Dogs may shake, pant, hide, or pace.

Cats vanish under beds or bolt through doors.

Birds flee into windows or trees they can't return from.

Even wildlife freezes, scatters, or abandons their young.

The truth is, animals don't know it’s New Year’s Eve.

They only know the world just got loud. And bright. And unsafe.

So, if you're someone who already keeps your pets indoors on nights like this; who sets up a quiet room, turns the music up just a little, stays in rather than going out; you’re not overreacting.

You're not silly.
You're seen.

And if this is the first time you’re hearing it, that’s okay too.
You’re here now. And now is a good place to start.

✨ Some ways to help:
• Bring pets indoors before fireworks begin
• Create a quiet, dimly lit room with familiar bedding
• Play calm music or leave the TV on to mask noise
• Make sure windows, doors, and fences are secure
• Keep festive foods, chocolates, wrappings, and small objects safely out of reach
• Sit with them if you can. If not, make sure they have a place that feels safe.

Some pets just need to know someone’s there.
And tonight, that someone is probably you.
From all of us at Windaroo Vet - thank you.
For caring.
For noticing.
For being the calm they need when the world gets too loud.

Happy 18th Birthday, Billy! 🐾🎉
What an incredible milestone for a very special boy. Billy has been with us for the past few years, and it’s been such a privilege to care for him. He is so deeply loved by his wonderful owners, and it truly shows. Here’s to 18 years of memories, cuddles, and wagging tails (well…stump 😂) — happy birthday, legend 💙🐶

Meet Oakly 🐾
Handsome cattle dog, part-time baker, full-time troublemaker.

Oakly helped himself to a lot of flour (zero stars, do not recommend), felt pretty unwell, and had to spend some time with us at the vet. He’s feeling much better now — and has officially earned the nickname “The Baker” 🥖✨

Moral of the story: flour is for baking, not eating… even if you’re this cute.

Just shy of his 18th birthday and still stealing hearts. 💕
Old man Billy showed up looking very dapper in his little tux today — and yes, he absolutely owned the room. 🤵🐶❤️

Senior pets are some of our greatest teachers. They show us patience, loyalty, and how precious the everyday moments truly are. ✨

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗼
(𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝘁)

December is full of good things; holidays, visitors, extra outings, relaxed routines.
But it’s also one of the busiest months for emergencies in Windaroo, Bahrs Scrub and Beenleigh, and the patterns are the same every year.

𝗡𝗼𝘁 because people are careless
but because the season adds risks that aren’t obvious until something happens.

Here’s what we regularly treat in December around our community:
• dogs overheating after walks or backyard play
• BBQ or party food causing vomiting or pancreatitis
• snake bites from pets exploring long grass
• foreign objects swallowed during gatherings
• pets highly stressed by noise, travel, or visitors
• dog altercations at busy parks or beaches

These aren’t rare.
They’re common.
And they happen fast.

After years of seeing this, we’ve learned something important:

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿.

A cooler walk time.
A yard check for snakes.
Food kept out of reach.
Supervised play at dog parks.
A quiet room for overwhelmed pets.
A pre-holiday health check to catch issues early.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀;
they are protective choices that prevent the emergencies we see every year.

As we move into the holidays, we encourage our Windaroo families to stay alert, stay prepared, and trust your instincts.

If something feels off; don’t wait.
We’re here to support you with advice, early checks and urgent care when needed.

What a beautiful end to our Puppy Pre‑School program for the year!
Nurses 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐡 and 𝐑𝐢𝐡 are so proud of our star puppy students; 𝐊𝐚𝐣𝐚𝐲, 𝐌𝐚𝐩𝐥𝐞, 𝐉𝐚𝐳𝐳, 𝐌𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐛𝐢𝐱 - who all finished the program with confidence, new skills, and wagging tails.
It’s been such a joy watching these little personalities grow each week. Their pet parents have worked so hard too, building the foundations for happy, healthy, well‑adjusted pups.

As we wrap up the 2025 classes, we want to thank every family who joined us this year. 🧡🐾

𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐞 & 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭:
Today’s extreme temperatures put all pets at risk — dogs and cats. Keep them indoors where it’s cool, avoid outdoor exercise, and make sure they have plenty of fresh water throughout the day. Hot footpaths can burn paws in seconds, and heat stress can escalate quickly.

Even on a mild day, a parked car becomes deadly fast. In today’s heat, car temperatures can climb past 50°C in just 30 minutes. Never leave pets in the car — not even for a minute.

Stay safe, stay cool, and keep your pets protected.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗣𝘂𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟮 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁! 🐾✨

Nurse Rihanna guided our pups through some of the big early-life basics; toilet training, good nutrition, enrichment ideas, and their first little steps into recall.

The last part of the lesson was all about confidence-building. With Rihanna’s calm coaching, the pups practised their sits and lay-downs, learnt to sit nicely on the scales, and got comfortable with gentle handling.

These early lessons shape how puppies feel about new places, new people, and eventually… the vet.

And with photos like these, you can see just how clever (and cute) our Puppy School crew is 😊🐾
