🥁 AND THE SPOOKIEST OF THEM ALL IS… STERLING! 🎃🧡

A huge thank you to everyone who entered our Halloween Pet Costume Competition! We absolutely loved seeing all your submissions, from the ridiculously cute to the wonderfully spooky. You certainly made judging a tricky task!

But there could only be one winner, and this year’s title goes to Sterling! 🏆🎃

Sterling stole our hearts dressed as a little pumpkin alongside his new human best friend, who was also dressed as a pumpkin. 🥹

Beyond the adorable matching outfits, we thought this photo captured something really special: the beautiful relationship between a family’s first fur baby and their very first human baby. A friendship we hope will grow alongside them for many years to come.

Congratulations, Sterling! You’ve won yourself a FREE core vaccination on us! 🐾

The festivities are just beginning… 🎄 Keep your notifications switched on and your eyes peeled for our upcoming Christmas content. 🎅🏽✨

Thank you again to everyone who made our Halloween competition so much fun. We loved every single entry! 🧡

Dr Andrew has spent quite a bit of time this year in London undertaking extensive training with the Royal Veterinary College in laparoscopic desexing, learning from veterinary specialists and leading human gynaecologists to further develop his skills in this advanced surgical technique.

But why was learning this method so important to him?

When asked, Dr Andrew’s answer was simple: because it has the potential to significantly reduce post-operative pain compared with traditional desexing.

Laparoscopic desexing, also known as keyhole surgery, uses a small camera and specialised instruments inserted through tiny incisions. Unlike a traditional open approach, where the ovaries are brought towards the incision to allow access, laparoscopic surgery allows the procedure to be performed internally, with minimal handling and less traction on the surrounding tissues.

For Dr Andrew, investing in this training is about continually looking for ways to improve the care we provide, with a focus on patient comfort, recovery and wellbeing. 💙

Curious about laparoscopic desexing for your pet? Get in touch with our friendly Client Relations team on (03) 9000 9828 to learn more about the procedure and whether it may be suitable for your dog. Alternatively, you can book a consultation with Dr Andrew using the link below! 🐾👨‍⚕️

We want our puppy patients, like divine Bobby who is pictured here, feeling safe, confident and comfortable at Tooronga. So, how do we help make that happen?

We carefully manage interactions with other dogs in the clinic. We don’t want your puppy’s first experiences with an unfamiliar dog or the hospital to involve being grumbled at or frightened! 🦮

Whatever makes your puppy happy! Treats, toys, play, praise - every puppy is different! We don’t decide what’s rewarding; your puppy does. We find what they love and use it to create positive experiences. 🧀

Not every visit needs to involve an examination or vaccination. Our clients are always welcome to pop in, jump on the scales, grab a treat and head off again if you want to visit without an appointment or happen to be passing by! No needles, no fuss, just love and cuddles from our Client Relations team! ⚖️

Choice instead of force. We encourage puppies into consultation rooms with treats, encouragement and curiosity rather than dragging them in by the lead. Giving them time to explore and settle sets the whole visit up for success.🚪

We pay attention to body language, allow breaks and adjust our approach when needed using their behaviour as our guide. A puppy who needs a little extra time isn’t being difficult, they’re communicating with us, and we want our patients to feel heard. 💙

Gentle introductions to veterinary handling and having their paws, ears and bodies checked can help puppies become more comfortable with the interactions they’ll experience throughout their lives. 🐾

This all matters because we’re not just caring for your puppy today, we’re helping build their relationship with veterinary care for years to come!

Build your puppy’s confidence at Tooronga Veterinary Hospital - drop in to say hi, book online using the link in our bio or call our Client Relations team on (03) 9000 9828 to learn more.

If you’ve visited us on a Sunday before, you probably know Jade!

Born and raised in Melbourne, Jayde’s love for veterinary medicine began with her gentle giant, Bosco, who was by her side when she started her pet care journey back in high school. Although Bosco is no longer with her, his memory continues to inspire her career and reminds her of the incredible bond we share with our animals.

These days, Jayde’s home is full of fur, fluff, and feathers between pets of her own, and being part of the Australian Border Force foster community, helping raise some very energetic and cleaver working Labrador Retrievers!

After completing her Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Biosciences, Jayde is now working towards her veterinary nursing qualification. We’re so lucky to have Jayde as part of our Client Relations team and can’t wait to see where her journey in veterinary medicine takes her. 👩🏼‍⚕️

Happy Vet Nurse Day! 🩺🐾

Today, we’re celebrating the incredible veterinary nurses and technicians who make a monumental difference to our patients, their people, and our team here at Tooronga Veterinary Hospital.

Veterinary nursing is so much more than cuddles and caring for animals (although there is plenty of that!). Our nurses are responsible for monitoring anaesthesia and assisting with surgery, administering medications, supporting patients through recovery, recognising subtle changes in behaviour, and helping animals feel safe during their hospital visit, whilst also working with their own patients through nurse consultation services.

They’re our patients’ comforters, advocates, and champions. They offer a calm hand during stressful moments, offer compassion supporting families through some of their hardest days and are also our patients biggest supporters celebrating wins alongside fur families.

The knowledge, technical skills, attention to detail, and dedication of nurses are essential to delivering the high standard of care Tooronga is committed to. Today is an important reminder to recognise the expertise and contribution of this incredible profession. Veterinary nurses and technicians are an essential part of the clinical team, and their work deserves to be celebrated, valued, and supported.

To our wonderful nursing team, only some of whom are pictured - thank you for everything you do, often behind the scenes and in moments that others may never see. Our patients, clients and greater community are so lucky to have you. 💙

Help us celebrate our amazing veterinary nurses and technicians today! Give them a little extra love in the comments. 🐶🐱🐾
