Some of our amazing vet nurses swapped their regular uniforms for a fun Scrub Day, where they got to show off their own colourful and creative styles!

From bold prints to cute patterns, it was all smiles (and maybe a few paw prints) at Southern Animal Health today. We’re lucky to have a team that’s not only skilled and caring - but a team who also brings personality and fun to the clinic every day! 💕🐶🐱

🚨 Sensitive Content Warning: Deceased Pet (Pic in comments) 🚨

We are sharing this post with a heavy heart in the hope of finding the owners of a cat that has sadly passed away.

🏿 Microchipped 13 years ago to a Pet Shop in Cheltenham (No Longer exists)
🟦 Coat Colour: Blue (grey) with subtle tabby pattern

We understand this is distressing, but we want to give the family the opportunity to know what has happened and have closure. If you believe this may be your cat, or know who the owner might be, please contact us privately.

To one of our much-loved charities Pet Medical Crisis, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to you, Jen, for your passionate advocacy for animals. What a fantastic outcome! 💙

GOOD NEWS FOR STONNINGTON PETS 🎉🎉🎉

The energy in Malvern Town Hall last night was tense. Passionate. Inspiring.

So enormous was the turnout that many were packed into the overflow room watching the livestream.

Several amazing people (including our own PMC powerhouse, Jennifer Hunt) addressed the Council in support of the recommendation to extend the SADS contract. Their speeches were meticulous and DEEPLY moving, causing some tears and a whole lot of cheering!!

It was truly a roller coaster — and we really didn’t know what to expect.

But the recommendation PASSED with just 5 yes votes to 4 no.

This means that the no-kill shelter, SADS, will continue serving the pet-crazy Stonnington community for another 12 months. Meanwhile, an Animal Management Taskforce will form and report to the Council at the end of this year.

So here’s a very happy Jen outside town hall with a PMC beneficiary-turned-friend, Scott. Jen ended up being such a powerful voice for the animals, and I know she worked tirelessly alongside other advocates. We are all INCREDIBLY proud to be on her team.

Here’s to everyone who made this happen — we’re in awe of the strong community spirit and relentless determination for animal welfare!! 🥳🎉❤️
