Cancer fighter Tia. We've known Tia since 2018 when she was first diagnosed with chronic lymphocytes leukaemia (CLL). This form of cancer is generally a slow progressong disease which affects a type of white blood cell known as lymphocytes. Tia remains on a tablet based treatment at home and comes in for routine cancer checks every 3 months now. Well done Tia 🥰

Our former nurse Bree is a professional Photographer based in Melbourne that specialises in Celebration of Life Photoshoots for pets.

"Having beautiful keepsakes in the form of photographs that capture their beautiful personality, and your unique bond are a beautiful way to honour our pets."

These sessions are designed to be stress free, and can be in the comfort of your own home or at an outdoor location of your choice. They are designed to capture you and your pet naturally, no stressful posing, just capturing the real personality of your pet.

If you’ve been thinking “I’ll do it soon” — please let this be your gentle sign.
I know how easy it is to put it off… until suddenly we’re left wishing we had just one more day. One more photo. One more chance to hold onto that face, those paws, that love.
I’m now taking bookings for August and September, and these sessions fill quickly — especially the ones that can’t wait.
If your heart is already whispering that it might be time, please reach out. I’ll hold space for you, for your pet, and for every feeling in between.
Don’t wait until it’s too late.
Let’s capture this chapter — gently, soulfully, with love.

This is the handsome Sonchai 😍 Sonchai was diagnosed with transmural T cell lymphoma. This means his lymphoma extends through all the layers of his intestinal wall. Sonchai presented with diarrhoea and has since commenced tablet based chemotherapy. His toileting has since normalised and he has a great appetite and fantastic quality of life. Well done Sonchai, you are a superstar! 💕

Meet Boots 👢 Boots is an almost 13 year old DSH. Boots was diagnosed with lymphoma, looking to be localised to his liver. Boots is currently on a tablet based chemotherapy protocol given every couple of weeks. His most recent blood test noted his liver enzymes to have improved (one enzyme by almost 50%!) In just under 8 weeks, well done Boots!!!

Super sassy sisters, Nahla and Dotti were recently seen for their cancers. Both have lymphoma but different types. Dotti (right) is on surveillance now and her little Nahla sister is finishing up her CHOP protocol.
They always give us smiles as they come snuffling through the waiting room!
