✨ NEXT CLASS STARTING: Wednesday 22nd October 6pm ✨️

⁉️ Did you know, when it comes to puppy school, smaller is better!

Science says the optimal puppy school class size is 4 or fewer—and here’s why:

✅ Less social overwhelm for your pup 💛
✅ More individual attention for puppies and owners 🎯
✅ Tailored advice to set you up for real-world success 🌍

It’s not about big numbers—it’s about big learning in the best possible way!

✨️ Introducing our newest Nurse, Sophie! ✨️ You may have seen her around the clinic already and also in previous years when she completed her placement for Uni with us 😊

"Hi, I’m Sophie! I graduated from the University of Queensland in 2024 with a degree in Veterinary Technology. I was excited to join the Virginia Family Vet team in early 2025. I have a strong passion for animal care and wellbeing, and I genuinely enjoy every aspect of veterinary nursing, there is never a day that is the same!

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll likely find me trying to relax with my high-energy cattle dog, Strider, who definitely keeps me on my toes!"

Welcome, Sophie! 💜💜

Happy Veterinary Nurse and Technologist Day!

🩺 The Quiet Power Behind Every Patient 🏥

The world often sees only the smiles, the cuddles, the gentle moments shared online.

But behind those images, what you don’t see often enough is just what veterinary techs & nurses are trained to do - every day.

Theirs is a profession built on qualifications, science, precision, and unwavering care.

They are the calm in the chaos — trained professionals whose skill blends science with compassion. They monitor anaesthetics with precision, watch over critical patients and provide love and care for your pet.

You might see the puppy school educator, but not realise that very same nurse has monitored patient anaesthesia that day, helped a grieving family after losing a beloved pet, collected and run blood tests, administered medication, cuddled and held the patient because he missed his parents, helped a distressed owner with next steps for their emergency situation…the list is endless…

This week, we honour the quiet power behind every patient.

Our veterinary nurses. The heartbeat of our pets care.

💜💜💜

How cute are these little babies?!

Dr Karen got to enjoy some puppy cuddles with these three little cavoodles yesterday in for their very FIRST vet visit! They were all very brave for their microchip, vacc & health check. The addition of Kong cheese & lots of treat makes their first visit a happy one 💜💜
