💚 Happy World Veterinary Day! 🐾

Today, we’re celebrating our incredible team and the 2026 theme: Veterinarians: Guardians of Food and Health.

While you might see our vets treating your beloved pets in the clinic, their impact goes so much further. From ensuring the safety of our food systems to protecting our community from zoonotic diseases, while passing this knowledge onto our students, the next generation of veterinarians! 🩺

To the vets that are a part of our team at TAHMU: Thank you for your tireless dedication, your expert care, and for being the bridge between animal health and human well-being.

We couldn’t do it without you!

Join us in saying a huge thank you to our team in the comments below! 👇

💚 Are you a small-holding, hobby farm, or farm pet owner looking to vaccinate your animals?

Our Farm Animal Veterinary Services team is currently organising travelling vaccination clinics, as we understand how hard it can be to get vaccination doses for smaller numbers of animals. By splitting the costs of large vaccination packs amongst multiple clients, we aim to reduce your costs. While on your property, one of our vets can then address any other queries or concerns you may have, all in the same visit.

If you would like to register your interest in our vaccination clinics, please fill out the form in the link below. One of our vets or nurses will then get in contact with you to discuss organising a visit.
