Say Hello to We**ie! 🥰

We**ie is one of our beloved senior patients who visits us regularly for arthritis care. This month, he showed up dressed as a tiny dinosaur—ready to face his injections like a champ! He left feeling much more like himself and a little less prehistoric. 🐾

Winter can be especially tough on pets with arthritis. Watch out for signs of joint pain, and don’t hesitate to contact us to chat about how we can help your furry friend stay comfortable 🦴

Have you noticed a smell coming from your pets mouth? 🤢 Are they having trouble eating or a bit off their food? These may be signs your little one needs a dental! 🦷

Dental health is important for our pets as they aren't able to brush their teeth like we are. They're also great at covering up pain, such as a toothache! ❤️‍🩹

Book an appointment with our lovely team today and let's get those teeth checked!

Last but not least, Meet Nurse Chloe ✨

Born and raised in Toowoomba, Chloe always dreamed of becoming a vet nurse. Starting as a kennel hand, and completing work experience across the Darling Downs before relocating to Ipswich in 2019 to finish her studies.
Chloe ticked off a bucket list dream of working at the RSPCA which kickstarted her career which fortunately lead her to us not long after.

Chloe shares her life with four furbabies—two homebodies and two clinic regulars, including Timmy the pug, who loves lounging out the back. She has a major soft spot for brachycephalic breeds (especially pugs, but who would have guessed? 🙃).

She has always had an appreciation for all things weird and wonderful 💀– which we soon discovered when she revealed her unique collection of anatomy-based oddities and curiosities at home, making her an interesting member of our team.

We like to refer to her as our pathology queen 🧪 always excited to test any sample that comes through our doors (just ask anyone who’s dropped off a urine sample! 😉)

🎨 As some of you may know she’s also a talented artist in her spare time, often creating beautiful hand-drawn pet portraits for our Little Critters family .
She’s also passionate about photography 📸 Often finding her somewhere in the clinic, camera in hand, trying to capture the perfect pic of your pet during their visit!

Chloe was often ‘out the back’ caring for our surgery and hospital patients, but recently you may have noticed her friendly face greeting you more often out the front so next time you’re in, say hi—she might just snap a photo of your furbaby’s best side! 🐾💕

🐾 Wobbly legs
🐾 Vomiting or gagging
🐾 Trouble breathing
🐾 Loss of Appetite

How to protect your pets:

✅ Keep up with tick prevention

Meet the team - Nurse Emma ✨

Emma comes from Scotland and graduated from Edinburgh Napier University in 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in veterinary nursing. Not long after graduating (only a week!), she decided to pack her bags and head down under! 🇦🇺

Back home, Emma has worked in a mixed animal practice in the Scottish Borders and loved getting stuck in with the farm animals and equine work. Her fur babies, Hector the Jack Russell and Tilly the cat, still live in Scotland and continue to enjoy life with her parents. 💕

After travelling and falling in love with Australia, she joined the Little Critters team in June 2024 and got back into to doing what she loves most! Emma enjoys all aspects of nursing and is passionate about helping to keep our pets happy and healthy.
She has also been practicing her Australian accent, so be sure to test her on your next visit! 😉

When she isn’t working, Emma enjoys spending time with her friends and is always planning her next travelling adventure. Her next is trip back to the UK to visit her family, after 2 years in Aus! 🐨

Meet the Team - Nurse Libby ✨

Libby was Born in Ipswich and has always been passionate about animal’s behaviour and care.
Before coming a veterinary nurse Libby worked with her kelpie doing sheep dog trails and worked closely with horses that had behavioural issues that required training and rehabilitation this passion paved the way for a career in the animal industry.

At the start of her career she started working at a vet clinic located in the Tambourine mountains before progressing into a role for several years in Marburg where she worked as an equine reproduction nurse, a job she found very interesting and rewarding.

Libby has been a qualified veterinary nurse for 17 years and still enjoys every aspect of her job. If you were to ask her what she considers to be the best aspect of her job she would explain that it would be providing knowledge to anyone that walks into the clinic.

Grooming and welfare is a special interest of hers along with a strong appreciation for shaping our animals behaviour. 🐶

Libby still has a keen interest for horses and is currently studying equine assisted mental health (Which we think is pretty amazing! 🥰)

In her spare time you will find her enjoying nature, whether it’s riding her horses or enjoying time with her chickens, she likes to appreciate what the world has to offer. …

She puts all her heart into helping those who don’t have a voice and anyone that has had the pleasure of meeting Libby knows that she goes above and beyond to ensure your pets live a happy life. 🐾

Maintaining your pets weight and exercise can be difficult this time of year when it's a bit cold ❄️ Keep your pet active indoors this winter with these fun games and activities!

🐾 Make dinner time fun and use your pet’s usual amount of food to fill a Kong and freeze it overnight. This trick makes them work for their food and can keep them occupied for hours!

🐾 Sprinkle a few treats or bits of dry food onto a towel and roll it up and twist it. Give this to your dog and watch them learn to unravel the towel and search for their treat!

🐾 Pick up a Teaser cat toy or make a homemade one with some string and your cats favourite toy. Spend some time with your cat running around the room, but don’t forget to let your cat catch the toy in the end!

🐾 Using an old cardboard box, pop some random items inside, like scrunched up newspaper, empty toilet rolls, etc. and throw a few treats in. Let your dog dig through the mess to find their reward!

🐾 Invest in a cat tree or lure your cat up onto different pieces of furniture to get them moving. Disclaimer: if they’re suffering from arthritis or other joint issues, this may aggravate the issue and we suggest choosing a different activity.

🌟 What’s your pet’s favourite indoor game?

Meet the team - Nurse Lauren ✨

I was born and raised in NSW (don’t hold that against me 😉) and have been a qualified veterinary nurse with 18 years of experience in the veterinary industry.

I relocated to Ipswich prior to COVID and had the pleasure of becoming part of the Little Critters Team soon after. 🥰

I work well under pressure and like to think I am cool and collected with anything the day decides to throw at us, however there is an exception when it comes to birds 🦅 The rest of the team call it an irrational fear but I think it is perfectly rational. 😎

I enjoy going camping and 4x4ing with my husband and 2 small children with plans to bring my new puppy along when she is old enough.

My favourite joke was actually created by my oldest child and has made lots of smiles both in the clinic and at home.

🌟 Lauren is often working out the back tending to our surgery and hospital patients, but be sure to say hello when you have the pleasure of seeing her! 👋🏻

Meet the Team - Nurse Jess✨

Jess moved up to Ipswich from Wagga Wagga and not long after relocating discovered Little Critters. Unfortunately due to the devastating 2022 floods that impacted the clinic she had to wait till we got back up and running but once we did, she hit the ground running and have been a valued member of the team since.

Jess is a fully qualified veterinary nurse with 11 years’ experience and has a special interest in training and educating our clients on their pets health and wellbeing.

If you have had the pleasure of meeting Jess you know that she always has smile on her face and if you were to ask the entire Little Critters team they will always tell you that she sees the positive in any situation, a glass half full outlook if you will! 💕
