Canobolas Family Pet Hospital

10/11/2025

🕯 Today we pause to remember the courage, sacrifice, and loyalty of all who have served, two-legged and four-legged alike.
From the battlefields to the home front, animals have stood beside humans with unwavering devotion. They have carried messages, comforted soldiers, and given the kind of love that asks for nothing in return.

As we enjoy the peace they fought for, we honour every hero, past and present, who helped make it possible.

Lest we forget. 🌺

FREE HEARTWORM TESTS 🫀

Did you know heartworm is spread by mosquitoes and can cause serious heart and lung disease in dogs? So unfortunately, as always, prevention is better than treatment.

For a limited time, we are offering FREE heartworm tests for dogs!*
If your dog’s test comes back negative, we’ll get them protected for the next 12 months with the ProHeart SR-12 injection (standard injection cost applies).

This means:
✅ One injection
✅ One full year of protection
✅ No monthly tablets to forget
✅ Peace of mind for you and your pup 🐶💛

Heartworm is easy to prevent, but very difficult and costly to treat. Regular protection is the best way to keep your dog safe and healthy.

Please feel free to use our website to book: https://www.canobolasvet.com/book-online.pml
Or call us at the clinic 📞

*Free test applies when proceeding with the SR-12 injection (standard injection cost applies).

✨Meet Molly✨

Molly grew up on a small farm just outside of Orange with a twin and younger sister, surrounded by all kinds of animals
including dogs, cats, sheep, cattle, miniature horses, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even a pig. 🐷

A lifelong animal lover, Molly began working professionally with animals in late 2023 at a pet boarding kennel. 🐶

Outside of work, Molly enjoys camping, swimming, fishing, relaxing, and spending time with friends at rodeos, races, or anywhere that brings people together. 💛

If you see Molly around the clinic, please make her feel welcome. 🥰

OCTOBER FACES ☺️

October has treated us with a wonderful mix of patients — wagging tails and whiskered faces to feathers, and everything in between! Every day is a new adventure, and we’re grateful you trust us with your much-loved animals. 💛

If you’d like to see your pet featured in our weekly Friday Faces, just let our team know next time you visit — we love sharing your furred, feathered, or scaly family members with our community! ❤

Stay safe, spooky, and snuggly — and have a Happy Halloween! 👻

✨Meet Natalie✨

Natalie has been working at CFPH since June 2025 after moving from Sydney to live with her partner of three years. Natalie completed her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2020 and has a strong belief in animal welfare and rescue. Before joining CFPH, Natalie worked for eight years in a rehoming and rescue-based council pound, where she cared for and found homes for countless animals in need. 🥰

Over the years, she has shared her life with multiple dogs, cats, and pocket pets as both companions and foster animals, and now lives with Bruce, her lovable Labrador. Natalie is thoroughly enjoying life in Orange, and working in reception has been a wonderful way to connect with and get to know the amazing local community. ✨

If you see Natalie around the clinic, say hello and make her feel welcome. 💜

🐾 Rat bait warning! 🐀

Even though it’s warming up, rat bait is still round! It may be a freshly placed trap or old rat bait left out over winter, it can still be a big danger to pets. These two curious pups found some and decided to have a little feast! 😬

Thankfully their owners acted quickly and got them straight to the vet. 💪❤️

Now’s a great time to do a quick check around your sheds, garages, and gardens — make sure any old bait or traps are safely disposed of. It only takes a tiny amount to make pets very sick.

If you ever think your pet might have eaten rat bait, call us right away on 63626991!
