Nothing here involves an actual scan or scary diagnosis.
These are the real horrors 👻

A few of our favourite moments from around the clinic lately 🐾

20/10/2026

We’re a Gold accredited Cat Friendly Clinic, which mostly means we’ve built the place around how cats actually feel about vet visits 🐱

Quiet spaces away from dogs. Handling that’s gentle and unhurried. A team trained to read when a cat has had enough.

It’s the kind of thing you don’t really notice when it’s done well. Your cat just has an easier day.

Swipe for a few of the cats who’ve been through lately 💙

Cats having radioactive iodine treatment stay with us for a few days, so we built somewhere worth staying.

Heated floors, adjustable lighting, their own toys, and a choice of four themes. Treetops is the current favourite 🌴

🤔 Curious about radioiodine for your cat?

Chat to your vet, or reach out to us and we’ll talk you through it.

Coco came in for a urinary obstruction, one of the true emergencies we see in practice.

A CT scan confirmed what was going on, and our team placed a urinary catheter to relieve the obstruction, draining 1.6L of urine 😲

Urinary obstructions can escalate quickly, so having both the equipment and the expertise on hand to act and image in the same visit makes a real difference to outcomes.

Once a patient heads home, our job isn’t quite done.

Someone’s usually following up not long after, an email, a call, or just making sure the paperwork and instructions actually make sense for whoever’s caring for them next.

It’s a small part of the process, but it’s the bit that means a diagnosis doesn’t just end at the door.

If you’ve ever had questions after picking up your pet, that’s exactly what we’re here for 🙌

Today’s Vet Nurse Day, so we just wanted to say thanks to ours 💙 We genuinely couldn’t do this without them.

If a vet nurse has ever looked after your pet, drop them a thank you below 🐾

Before anyone walks through the door, this is what our mornings look like 🐱☀️💛

The lights go on, and the first job is always checking on whoever’s stayed with us overnight. Then setting up for any procedures and of course coffee, because let’s be honest, it helps.

It’s a quiet thirty minutes, but it sets the tone for everything after it 🙌

Meet Shantel, one of our nurses here at ARC! 🐾

Shantel’s spent over 10 years as a veterinary nurse, most of it working in internal medicine at a specialist hospital in Sydney, and she’s continued that path with us. She loves being part of the team helping run our CT scans, so pet owners get the clearest possible answers about their pet’s care.

At home she’s mum to Delilah, her Great Dane, and Draco, her cat. Outside the clinic you’ll find her scrapbooking, camping, or planning the next trip away.

Her favourite part of the job? The bond between people and their pets, and being trusted to care for someone’s fur baby.

We’re lucky to have her on the team 💙

Taking a heart rate is usually pretty routine. This one had other ideas 😺💛

She wasn’t interested in sitting still, mostly because she was far too busy demanding pats and headbutting the stethoscope.

Sue eventually won. Barely 😅

Turns out convincing a patient we love them too, while also needing thirty seconds of stillness, is harder than it sounds.
