The smoochy faces of Athena. 🐾

Not many cats enjoy a belly rub, especially when they're sporting the dreaded cone of shame, but Athena was the exception. This sweet girl had us completely wrapped around her paw. ❤️

It's safe to say we all fell a little bit in love with this gorgeous girl.

⏰ Last week to take advantage of our Senior Pet Month discounts! 🐶🐱

Can you hear your furry friend tap dancing across the floor? 🐾 Long nails aren't just noisy—they can put extra pressure on those precious toe beans and affect your pet's comfort.

For our senior cats, overgrown claws can become an even bigger problem. As they age, their claws may not retract properly and can start growing into their paw pads... ouch! 😿

Book in with our wonderful nurses for a FREE nail trim, and while you're here, we'll also perform a FREE dental check. As next month is Dental Month.

We don't get to see this adorable sheep breed very often! 🐑💛

Fireside Heritage Sheep recently welcomed three beautiful Valais Blacknose girls all the way from over east, and we were lucky enough to meet them. We can't wait to watch this little flock grow and are so excited to see lambs from these girls in the coming years.

What an office backdrop! 🌾🐏

Our team looks forward to our annual visit to Twin Peaks Farm each year for brucellosis testing. It's always a pleasure working alongside a team that handles their rams with such skill and keeping our vets safe.

It was a glorious sunny morning at Twin Peaks for brucellosis testing, despite early morning temperature hovering around 3-5 degrees 🥶
Georgia from Mount Barker Veterinary Hospital was, as always, incredibly efficient and the crew were happy to have Llukas join us - never knock back an extra pair of hands 😉

🐾 Is your senior dog or cat slowing down? 🐾

Have you noticed your pet is stiff when they get up in the morning, reluctant to jump, or seems sore after a walk or at the end of the day?

These can all be signs of arthritis. The good news is there are many ways we can help keep your pet comfortable, improve their mobility, and slow the progression of arthritis so they can continue enjoying life.

💙 This month only, we're offering 25% OFF senior health consultations, health screenings, and blood tests for our older pets.

Following their health check, our vets will discuss the best treatment and management options tailored to you and your pet.

📞 Give us a call to book your senior pet's health check today—because they deserve to enjoy their golden years in comfort. 🐶🐱

✨ Saturday Warm & Fuzzies ✨

A huge thank you to the kind man who found this tiny kitten on the side of the road and brought her in for treatment. ❤️

She was freezing cold and barely clinging to life, but thanks to the incredible care of our dedicated vets and nurses—along with the wonderful support of our American veterinary students—she was given a second chance. 🐈

We’re so happy to see her healthy, warm and thriving. It truly takes compassionate people, both in the community and in our clinic, to make stories like this possible. 🐾

🐾 Save money this month — and potentially save your pet’s life! 🐾

Did you know that female dogs and cats can develop a serious uterine infection called pyometra after a season? This condition can become life-threatening and often requires emergency surgery and intensive treatment.
We've already treated several cases this year, and thankfully those pets received the care they needed in time. ❤️

The good news? Desexing can help prevent pyometra and other reproductive health issues.

✨ June Desexing Discount Still Available Now ✨

📅 Limited appointments remaining
🐶🐱

🐾 Puppy Overload! 🐾

We had the pleasure of meeting 16 gorgeous puppies the other week for their health checks and first vaccination! ❤️ (Two separate litters, but double the cuteness!).

Rather than trying to wrangle 16 cheeky pups into the clinic, Dr Georgia and Nurse Hannah headed out for a home visit in the fresh air.

One of the best parts of farm and home visits is getting to see puppies in their own environment. We finished the visit with plenty of puppy cuddles, a play on the lawn, and the chance to meet their beautiful mums, who had the sweetest personalities. 🥰

We think it's safe to say our team didn't mind this house call one bit! 💕

(*We are not involved with the sale of these cuties).
