The last 4 weeks of puppy preschool have been “Golden hour” ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We’ve had Peppa and Poppy the golden retriever cross Labrador retrievers who turned out to be full siblings! Only found each other again during our introductions! Then we had beautiful Bobbi our golden retriever and brave Buddy our golden Spoodle.
We’ve got another class starting next Wednesday the 9th of April. Give us a call on 9391 4222 to book in!
In the mean time, have a look at these well adjusted pups!

After 20 incredible years at HobsonsBayVets Philippa Molnar and David Elliot are hanging up their stethoscopes and retiring in June 2025

It has been a privilege to be entrusted with your beloved pets health and well being , and we will be forever grateful for the memories and friendships built along the way. We have shared with you the joys of the new puppies and kittens as well as the sad goodbyes.

Although we will be stepping away from the clinic we leave knowing that your pets will continue to receive the best care from the amazing HobsonsBayVet team, they share the same passion and commitment that has guided us throughout our long careers.
We are thrilled that Rachel Culvenor is stepping into the role of director vet - most of you know Rachel from the past 5 years she has been part of our team.

Wishing you and your furry loved ones may years of health and happiness
Pip and David

If anyone has any expired or medications that aren’t needed anymore we are accepting donations for Mate's Gift! Please drop them off to us so we can help the pets in need ❤️

Also a reminder that we are closed tomorrow the 27th January 2025. See you all on Tuesday from 8am. Keep cool tomorrow and remember to keep our pets indoors and plenty of water out for our wildlife.

We’re thrilled to share that our amazing friends at Hobsons Bay Vet Clinic are joining us in our mission to collect unused and expired medications through our initiative, Mate's Gift!

If you have any expired medications or medications you no longer need, we would love to take them off your hands - all you have to do is pop them in the donation box at the clinic. These medications are invaluable as we distribute them to veterinarians who work closely with animal welfare organizations in Southeast Asia, where they can truly make a difference and save lives.

Mates Gift is all about giving back and creating positive change for animals in need. Our deep relationship with Hobsons Bay Vet Clinic has been instrumental in the five years that Mate was with us here in Australia, particularly as they supported us through the tumultuous journey with Mate and his health issues. Their commitment to animal welfare resonates with our mission, and we are grateful for their partnership in this important initiative.

Together, we can ensure that these medications are put to good use, reducing waste while helping those who need it most.

Thank you for your support, and let’s make a positive impact together!

It’s going to be a hot and windy one tomorrow!

It’s a great idea to put out some shallow bowls with some sticks and rocks in them so wildlife can access some water and have a little cool off 😎

Where possible to keep your pets inside where it is cooler and remembering to only walk our doggies first thing in the morning or in the cooler evening to avoid any heat stoke. Some indoor enrichment with frozen kongs or similar or even learning some new tricks will help with boredom. Having plenty of access to fresh water too!

If you find any sick or injured wildlife or are worried if your pet is suffering from the heat, please give us a call straight away on 9391 4222 and we can get them in for assessment.

Take care out there!

How gorgeous is our next class of puppies at our Puppy Preschool. Meg and Remi, the biggest and smallest of the class playing so well and Meg was being so gentle!
