Ever wondered what your vet team gets up to when they're not caring for your furry family members? 😄

We love sharing a little more about the people behind the care, because getting to know our team is all part of what makes Eltham Vets special. ❤️

🐱 MEET THE BREED: MAINE C**N 🐱

Big cat. Big personality. Even bigger tail! 😻
Maine C***s are one of the largest domestic cat breeds, but despite their impressive size, they're often known for being gentle, friendly and very social.
They're curious, playful and generally like to know what's going on around the house — so don't be surprised if your Maine C**n decides they're part of whatever you're doing!
📸 Got a Maine C**n at home?
We want to meet them! Drop a photo in the comments and tell us their name — and let us know what makes your Maine C**n uniquely them. ❤️
Another instalment of our Meet the Breed series, celebrating the personalities, quirks and characteristics of different dog and cat breeds.

🐶 MEET THE BREED: GOLDEN RETRIEVER 🐶
Friendly, lovable and always ready to make a new best friend! ❤️

Golden Retrievers are famous for their happy-go-lucky personalities, intelligence and love of being part of the family. They’re also pretty keen on anything involving a ball, a walk… or preferably both! 😂

But we know every Golden has their own personality and plenty of quirks.

In this episode, Dr Gus shares practical tips on helping puppies learn to toilet outside, including how long to give them outside, crate training, overnight toilet breaks and why rewarding calm behaviour is so important.

A must-watch for anyone navigating those early puppy days! 🐾

Repairing a Growth Plate Injury
Not every day at Eltham Vets looks the same. 🐾
In this reel, Dr Steve takes us behind the scenes of a growth plate injury in a young dog — where a piece of bone has separated from the growth plate just below the knee.
The goal of the surgery is to carefully reattach the piece of bone and give this young patient the best chance of getting back to a normal, active life.
Young dogs can heal remarkably quickly, and while this particular case presented some additional challenges, Dr Steve was confident that the outlook was very positive.
With decades of experience and a hands-on approach to veterinary care, Dr Steve is still right there in the operating theatre, doing what he does best.
🎥 A glimpse inside the operating room at Eltham Vets — without showing the more graphic parts of surgery.

🐱 MEET THE BREED: RAGDOLL 🐱

Big, beautiful and usually pretty laid-back! 😻

Ragdolls are known for their gentle, affectionate personalities and their love of being around their humans. They’re often happy to follow you around the house, supervise from the couch and generally make themselves part of whatever you’re doing!

But every Ragdoll has their own little quirks…

📸 Do you have a Ragdoll at home?

We want to meet them! Post a photo of your Ragdoll in the comments and tell us their name — and if they have a particularly funny or unique personality, tell us about that too! ❤️

This is the second instalment of our Meet the Breed series, where each week we celebrate the personalities, quirks and characteristics of different dog and cat breeds.
