Virginia Family Vet

05/12/2025

After 15 wonderful years at the clinic, I wanted to share that I’ll be finishing up on Wednesday, 10th December.

It has been an absolute privilege to care for your pets, support your families, and be part of so many meaningful moments over the years. I’m incredibly grateful for every client, every patient, and every bit of trust you’ve placed in me.

I'd like to extend a huge thanks to our amazing team. The support, the laughs, and the friendships we’ve built mean the world to me.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your pets’ lives for so long. I’ll miss you all, but I’m excited for the next chapter ahead.

Emma 💛

Little Whiskey would like to wish everyone a Happy Tuesday! 🐾

Not only is this boy a super clever pup, but he also has gorgeous eyes 😍 This condition, where each eye has a different colour, is called Hererochromia & is a genetic train he would have inherited from his parents ✨️

✨ NEXT CLASS STARTING: Wednesday 22nd October 6pm ✨️

⁉️ Did you know, when it comes to puppy school, smaller is better!

Science says the optimal puppy school class size is 4 or fewer—and here’s why:

✅ Less social overwhelm for your pup 💛
✅ More individual attention for puppies and owners 🎯
✅ Tailored advice to set you up for real-world success 🌍

It’s not about big numbers—it’s about big learning in the best possible way!

✨️ Introducing our newest Nurse, Sophie! ✨️ You may have seen her around the clinic already and also in previous years when she completed her placement for Uni with us 😊

"Hi, I’m Sophie! I graduated from the University of Queensland in 2024 with a degree in Veterinary Technology. I was excited to join the Virginia Family Vet team in early 2025. I have a strong passion for animal care and wellbeing, and I genuinely enjoy every aspect of veterinary nursing, there is never a day that is the same!

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll likely find me trying to relax with my high-energy cattle dog, Strider, who definitely keeps me on my toes!"

Welcome, Sophie! 💜💜
