On another week of vet introduction posts, meet our 6th vet - Dr. Joyce Yung!

Dr Joyce has been a vet for 17 years and after all this time, she is still blown away daily by the unconditional love between pet parents and their pets. She has been looking after your pets in Canberra since 2009 and became part of the team in November 2023. She has a special interest in pet dentistry as it can improve the quality of life for your pets.

At home, Dr Joyce lives with three beautiful cats, Sherlock (black), Watson (tabby) and Evie (white), and her husband. On the weekends you might find her climbing colourful artificial rocks at indoor bouldering centres or trialing various baking recipes for sourdough too! Did you know she also builds and has a collection of Lego?

Over the coming weeks we will be focusing on highlighting every one of our veterinarians with a series of questions, so keep checking in on our socials to get a better insight on what our veterinarians’ special interests are and how they might spend their free time outside of the clinic.

It’s been a while, and we’re back with our fifth vet introduction post!

Have you ever met a vet whose surgical precision extends to home renovation?

Dr Alex has been a vet for 14 years. Not only that, but she also has a long history with our clinic - she was part of our team from 2017-2019 and rejoined us in 2023. Swipe to learn more about Alex and see some pictures of her renovation repertoire and her beautiful dog Manfred.

Years as a vet: 14
Special Interests:
Anything surgical, mobility concerns (Lameness), radiology (x-rays) and eyes (Ophthalmology).
What makes me laugh:
Life, family and work colleagues. We work in an industry that can be quite emotional and draining, having a team that helps you laugh makes everything better.
Do you collect anything?
Oh yes! Coffee machines, anything of midcentury design, plants, Melbourne Demon scarves, I would even call myself a functioning hoarder.
Hobbies:
Too many and not enough time for them all. I love DIY/renovating my house, I have a never ending list, Sports (watching and playing- go the Demons) and painting although I'm trying my hand at lino printing.

The clinic will be closed on Monday 2nd June for Reconciliation Day. We will be back to regular hours on Tuesday.

Do you remember seeing this smiley face around the clinic? It belongs to Felicia, one of our wonderful and valued nurses here at NVC.

Last week, we said farewell to Felicia as she left our Braddon clinic for the warm and wet North Queensland coast with her partner, Brock, and best bud, Mishka.

Over the past 3.5 years, she has been a supportive and caring team member, in-charge of ordering our clinic’s supplies, keeping you all up-to-date on social media, and taking care of our lovely patients in the clinic.

She will be sorely missed for her laughs, stories and pranks. The whole NVC team (her second family) wishes her the best on her next chapter in Queensland!

At the end of March Dr Ashley and Vet Nurse Wendy attended the Braddon Paw's Party - Dogtor's Day.

This day was an educational adventure being held in Haig park a stone's throw away from Northside Vet. The focus of this Dogtor's day stall was to have the general public and their wonderful pets ask any advice or questions you may have about veterinary and companion care from our qualified team.

We hope all that attended had a great time, we know Dr Ashley and VN Wendy had a ball!

Reminder to all of our wonderful clients that Canberra Day is coming up this weekend and that means we will be closed on Monday the 10th of March.

We still have availability for appointments on Friday and limited spaces on Saturday if your pet requires medication or medical attention.

Here are some tips for a smooth long weekend:

- If your pets are boarding somewhere this weekend, please ensure that their vaccinations are up to date

- Check your pet's supply of medications, and if you think they'll need a top-up over this period, ensure to get any medication requests in as soon as possible so we can have them ready for you by the end of this week

- Fireworks will be used as part of the Canberra day celebrations
Pets who are affected by firework displays may need medications or special needs met to make them more comfortable during the show

- Lots of pets get frightened and escape during firework events. Ensure your pets' microchip details are up-to-date to increase their chance of being safely reunited

For any pet emergencies during this period, please familiarise yourself with your closest emergency centre who will be operating over the weekend.
Options for Canberra centres are ARH at Piallago, CVES in Gungahlin and Walk-in-Clinic for animals in Belconnen.
Please be sure to contact the clinics before your arrival to ensure availability.

We hope you have an amazing Canberra day and we will see you on Tuesday at 8am to resume normal work hours.
