From tiny Nugget… to extra crispy Nugget. 🥹🧡

We first met this handsome Golden British Shorthair when he was just a little kitten, and safe to say…he has definitely grown into his cute name. 😌

While waiting for his consult, Nugget decided the best use of his time was taking a casual wander around the room, supervising proceedings, and showing off his very important little tongue-out face.

Swipe to see grown-up Nugget vs baby Nugget! ✨

Zulu, a 10 week old Whippet x Italian Greyhound, visited us this week and completely charmed the staff with her bright, sweet little personality (she was a little shy at first, but definitely warmed up!)🐾

There is something very special about those first puppy visits, getting to know them while they are still all long legs and small body, wiggly excitement, and having endless curiosity.

What breed completely melts your resolve every time? 😍🐾💓

Beautiful Billie was very brave for her vaccinations, although she did make it clear she had some concerns about the whole arrangement 🥹💕

We used lots of chicken treats, slow handling, and plenty of reassurance to help her through it. Dr. Amanda gave the jabs while Nurse Nicia was on treat and love duty 🙂‍↕️.

For nervous dogs, desensitisation often looks exactly like this, building trust one manageable experience at a time. And sometimes, it takes trying different techniques (for Billie, distraction worked very well!)

We understand not every pet feels confident at the vet, and we never expect them to. 🐾

A post-ultrasound cuddle with Marley, who handled it all very well considering the personal offence of having his tummy shaved. 🤭🥹

Ultrasounds are one of those things that can look pretty simple from the outside, but there’s a lot happening behind the scenes to keep patients calm, comfortable, and feeling safe while we get the images we need. Marley took it all in stride, especially once the pats started flowing again afterwards.

Marley's nurse Portia, kept him nice and warm, and monitored his vital signs using the machine behind him - a 'multiparameter monitor', which tracks things like heart rate, oxygen levels, blood pressure, breathing, temperature, and ECG readings all in real time. 🩺💓

Some of you might remember sweet Dia from our recent post introducing little sister Mika 💗

Dia’s owner popped in today to pick up some medication and food for her and mentioned that it was actually Dia’s 12th birthday today, which absolutely made our day. 🥹🐾

We’ve had the privilege of caring for Dia for almost the past five years, and it’s so lovely getting to be part of these family stories as they grow and change over time.

It's little things we love celebrating which also make our relationships with our patients and their families so special.

Please join us in wishing this beautiful girl a very happy, balloon-filled 12th birthday 🎂!! And if you’ve got a senior dog at home, we’d love to hear how old they are and what they’re still obsessed with.

Blood pressure checks are much easier when there is a steady supply of tasty creamy treats involved! 😋

Dr. Kylie was checking Sultan’s blood pressure while Sandra handled the very important distraction duties, and honestly, the teamwork here was purr-fect. 💖

Creating calmer experiences for cats is a big part of our Gold Level Cat Friendly accreditation. We spend a lot of time thinking about details like this, because kindness in vet care is not just about being nice- it is about creating an experience that feels safer and less stressful for the animals in our care, and making sure we respect their boundaries (just like if they were people!).

Sultan seemed pretty happy with this arrangement by the end. 😻

Scottie Puppen came in for his annual check up this week and could not have been happier about it. He even strutted a pose on our fuzzy scales. 😎🐾

There was a lot of tail wagging, excitement, as Scottie very pleased to see the team. We love seeing dogs who feel this comfortable at our clinic!! 🫶

Nurse Sandra: “Who’s the best boy?”
Alfie: “Is it me!?” 🥹🐶

Alfie was feeling a bit emotional waking up from his dental, so we brought him into the team meeting for some extra company and reassurance. Honestly, he seemed pretty thrilled (lots of happy wiggle bums!) to be included once everyone started talking to and fussing over him.

Recovery can feel a bit strange for some pets after anaesthesia, and sometimes the best medicine is a quiet cuddle and a few people reminding you you’re safe.

Does your pet also believe every room in the house is a group activity? 🤭

Happy Chewsday evening 😎 from Taringa Vets!

Maureen catching treats is a pretty good example of one of the things we value most around here, collaboration.

One person throwing the treats, one lab fully committed to the assignment, and one entire room emotionally invested in whether she catches it or wears it. 🐾

Honestly, the joy pets bring to ordinary moments is a big part of why we do what we do, including making fun little videos like this one! 🫶
