Apologies for some pretty major tech changes at both clinics. The hardware is not happy with the new software in town so it might be impossible to perform online bookings etc. for a while. In clinic, the humans are also struggling a bit with negotiating the new system so please be patient 🙏🏼

Well, no owner has come forward for this cockatiel so if anyone would like it, please feel free. It seems to be an aviary bird rather than being hand raised, so better in a large cage with some friends. Healthy and Happy.

Our building is getting a facelift today, for the painters safety he has blocked that little corner that people use to go between into Gravity car park, yes it may be a slight inconvenience but for 1 day it is while he works! You can still access both car park areas by using different entrances! Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This is really well written. We love our muzzled patients just as much as our unmuzzled ones❤️

You may have seen this handsome young man in someof our videos and photos wearing some stylish headgear!

Tuesday wears a muzzle but it might not be for the reason you think!

There are hundreds of reasons a dog can wear a muzzle. Being muzzle trained can open up a world of opportunities for your best friend and give them way more freedom.

Some dogs get over excited in play and although not being agressive they can nip during the chase.

Some dogs don't like the vet and so they wear a muzzle to keep the vet and themselves safe when in pain and discomfort.

Some dogs don't like being jumped on or suprised by strange "friendly" dogs/people and that's okay too.

Some dogs like to eat everything they see which can cause life threatening blockages.

Some dogs like Tuesday have medical conditions where a muzzle can save his life and allow him to run and play like a normal dog!

Let's all work together to help remove the stigma of muzzles and remember that muzzled dogs are good dogs too 🧡

📢 📣📢📣
Changes to Small Animal After Hours Services for the Bunbury Vet Clinic, Eaton Vet Clinic, Harradine and Associates and Dalyellup Vet Clinic.

For the last 10+ years our practices have worked together to provide a 24/7 on-call service to the Greater Bunbury region and beyond. We have taken great pride in being there for all animals in their time of need, however we have now reached a point where this no longer remains viable or sustainable.
Like so many industries, we are struggling with chronic staff shortages. We have been advertising for a vet to join our team since August last year without success. Our workload has increased dramatically over the last 2 years in particular, and we are at the point where our staff are at risk of serious burn-out.
We have recently been confronted by the fact that we can no longer continue our on-call service in its existing format. The fatigue and strain on our teams has created a situation where trying to maintain our current on-call service risks our ability to adequately staff our clinics during the day. The pressure of maintaining a 24/7 on call service has seen the Bunbury region lose multiple vets over the last few months. This has led to an ever-increasing emergency workload on fewer vets. Without making some very difficult changes we run the risk of losing more vets from the region, making it impossible to cover the veterinary needs of the animals in the region both during the day and at night.
As such, we will no longer be able to offer a local emergency service on weekends. This will come into effect on Saturday 11th June. For now we plan to continue our on-call service on weeknights (Mon-Fri inclusive) in its current format. From 12pm on Saturday until 8am Monday (or the next business day if there is a public holiday following the weekend), WAVES vets will be accepting our after-hours cases. They can be reached by calling 9412 5700 and are located at 1/640 Beeliar Dr, Success (south of Perth).
We have not taken this decision lightly, and we empathise that it may cause some inconvenience to our valued clientele and precious patients. However, we have made these changes to assure our service and care provision can remain sustainable moving forward.
We thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.
Michael Rae, Felicity and Graham Harradine

Important changes to after hours service starting soon.

Important Client Update: Changes to the provision of after-hours services for small animal emergencies.

With the nearest 24-hour veterinary hospital being in the southern suburbs of Perth, around a 90-minute drive from Bunbury, we feel it is critical to maintain a local after-hours service. For many unwell or injured pets, such a 90-minute drive would be the difference between life and death.

We have, however, found that the increasing load on our after-hours service is creating a situation where it is not sustainable in its current form. With a number of Veterinary service providers in Bunbury and the surrounding areas no longer offering an after-hours emergency service, the result has been larger out-of-hours demand placed on fewer Veterinary practices.

In order to continue offering this essential service, we will be making a number of changes to how the service operates, with the aim of being able to continue to provide quality short-notice emergency care for pets in the Greater Bunbury area, whilst encouraging non-emergency queries / care to patiently wait for commencement of regular business hours.

One of the emerging issues we face is the large number of non-urgent calls our vets are receiving outside of regular business hours. In a survey we completed across a 3 month period, 80% of the calls received after-hours did not require immediate / emergency veterinary attention. This means our vets who participate in the emergency on-call service rota (who work full days and then cover nights and weekends on call as well) are often being woken up during the night or having family time disrupted for things that could wait until the practices reopen.
As a result of this, for our small animal clients, we will be implementing a fee to contact the duty vet. This will be in the form of a telephone payment gateway, where clients who wish to contact the emergency vet on-call for small animals will be prompted to complete a credit card payment of $100 prior to being connected with the duty emergency vet. Once connected, clients are encouraged to raise their concerns, and then the duty vet will triage the situation and determine if an emergency consultation or just first aid / home nursing care phone advice is required. If your pet does require an emergency in-clinic consultation with the duty vet, an after-hours consult fee will still apply. This has been set at a level which reflects that $100 has already been charged for the telephone triage service.

This system is expected to free up the duty vet to address urgent calls. We often find there is a delay in our ability to address emergency calls due to the vet being engaged on the phone discussing a non-urgent Veterinary matter with another client. It also means that our vets should be disturbed less at night, avoiding unnecessary fatigue and assuring sustainability regarding our vet team’s continued provision of high-quality business-hours Veterinary care.

In the rare event where our duty vet is engaged on the phone with another inbound emergency caller, and you, as the second inbound emergency caller (having already paid via the gateway to speak to the duty vet) have your call go through to message-bank, please leave a clear message for the duty vet including your name and phone number and you will be called back as soon as the duty vet finishes their previous call for no additional cost.

To help clients reduce their need to call the vet outside of business hours for more minor health queries, we would recommend that everyone downloads the free of charge First Aid For Pets app, which can be found at https://apps.apple.com/au/app/first-aid-for-pets/id799460675(iOS) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boehringer.FirstAidForPets&hl=en_AU&gl=US (Android). This is a great resource that we anticipate will help with general advice, and provides a useful guide as to when emergency veterinary attention is recommended.
We thank our loyal client base in advance for their understanding and support to assure we are able to maintain this important life-saving service for the pets of the Greater Bunbury region.
