What we cover:
✔️ Socialisation in a safe space
✔️ House manners
✔️ Common poisons to avoid

✔️ And of course… plenty of treats and tail wags!

🐱💥 CAT GOT YOUR... PLANS? 💥🐱
Your cat’s about to get snipped, chipped (well, tattooed), and totally chill.
We’re running a feline desexing special at our Mannum clinic on September 29th & 30th — and your kitty is invited (though they may not be thrilled about it 😼).
🎯 SPECIAL PRICING:
💙 Male cats – $105
💖 Female cats – $135
⚠️ Pregnant or in-heat females may incur a small surcharge (they don’t call it “spicy season” for nothing).
✅ What’s Included:
✔️ Pre-surgery health check
✔️ Desexing surgery
✔️ Tattoo in the ear (to prove they’ve been “fixed”)
✔️ Post-op pain relief — because we’re not monsters
📍 Where: Vet in the Hills – Mannum
📅 When: September 29 & 30
☎️ Call us now to book! (08) 8389 7947
Spaces are limited and they’re going faster than a cat spotting a cucumber.
Help your cat live their best drama-free life. Because love is great, but 37 surprise kittens is... a lot. 🐾

Tiny Bean to Chonky King 👑🐾
Remember Michelin? He once fit on Dr. Zoe’s shoulder like a furry little parrot. Now he needs his own seat — and maybe a valet — to come in for his routine vaccinations.
From scrappy street kitten to full-blown majestic floof. He’s still sweet, still dramatic, and absolutely still convinced he’s the boss. 😼

For those coming to visit us in Woodside this Saturday, please note there may be some delays. ☺️

Army personnel will be patrolling Onkaparinga Valley Road, Woodside by foot, dressed in combat attire and carrying blank-loaded weapons.

🐾 Say hello to Dr Emma!
Dr Emma joined the Vet in the Hills team in February and has quickly become a friendly and welcoming presence in our clinic. Her calm nature, caring approach, and genuine love for animals make her a favourite with both clients and pets alike.

Emma enjoys the variety that each day brings—whether it’s meeting new animals, connecting with their humans, or working through complex cases. She has a real passion for problem-solving and always aims to find the best possible outcomes for every patient she treats.

You’ll often find her sharing a quiet moment (or a sneaky treat) with Chino, our beloved clinic cat—who seems to have claimed her as one of his own. 🐱💛

Next time you’re in, be sure to say hi to Dr Emma—we’re so lucky to have her as part of the Vet in the Hills family!
