"I am incredibly grateful to see Holly, Ash and Rosie head up a new team to reinstate Dayboro with the excellent veterinary care the community desperately needs and deserves. Dr. Holly and Dr. Ash worked at Old Mill Vets back in 2008. Together with Rosie, I couldn’t have asked for a better leadership team to jolt life back into the clinic. Their surgical, medical and customer care is second to none. Out with the Old (Mill Animal Vet) and in with the New (Dayboro Village Vet), while retaining the core values of a family-run business. The community will be delighted with the new team and services."
- Dr. Slade Walker, Old Mill Equine Service

"I met Holly and Ash in 2008 when they were previously practicing in Dayboro. Over the years they provided an outstanding level of medical care for our dogs and horses. This included diagnosis, treatment, and advice concerning behaviour, diet, and health. Our animals have thrived under their care. With our West Highland Terrier Lola approaching 15 years of age and still enjoying a highly active lifestyle, including beach runs, swimming, and, of course, many, many cuddles. They have been caring, passionate, and empathetic throughout the years to our situation and needs. I have also been impressed with their dedication to their profession, seeing them constantly upskill and remaining at the forefront of their industry. We are thrilled to see them establish a high-end veterinary practice servicing the community’s needs."

Dayboro Village Vets recently sprang into action to support one of our incredible local wildlife carers who needed an intravenous line for a dehydrated koala joey. Our team quickly prepared everything required so the joey could receive urgent care, giving this little one the best chance of recovery. We’re always proud to play a small part in protecting the wildlife that makes our region so special.

We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the dedicated wildlife carers in our community. The work you do, often quietly, tirelessly, and with immense compassion, matters more than most people will ever know 💚🩺🐨

Today, on Remembrance Day, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and service of all who have served, and continue to serve, in the defence of our freedom and peace. We remember those who gave their lives, and those whose lives were forever changed by conflict, carrying their legacy with gratitude and reflection.

We also acknowledge and thank our clients and Dayboro community members who still serve today; in the Australian Defence Force, emergency services, and support roles. Your dedication, compassion, and resilience embody the values we hold close every day.

Halloween can be a fun and exciting time for families, but it can also be stressful and dangerous for pets. Strange costumes, loud noises, and constant doorbell ringing can easily frighten animals, causing them to hide, panic, or even run away.

🧟‍♂️
To keep pets safe, it’s best to create a quiet, secure space indoors where they can relax away from the commotion. Make sure doors, gates, and windows are closed tightly so your pet doesn’t escape if startled.

🧛🏻‍♂️
Chocolate, lollies and decorations pose another major risk for pets during Halloween. Chocolate and sugar-free treats containing xylitol, and many other sweets are toxic to animals, even in small amounts. Keep all lolly bowls, wrappers, and party snacks out of reach, and dispose of rubbish promptly.

🧙🏻‍♀️
Decorations like candles, glow sticks, and fake cobwebs can also be hazardous if chewed or knocked over. Supervise curious pets closely and consider using pet-safe alternatives when decorating.

By planning ahead and staying mindful of potential hazards, you can help ensure that Halloween is enjoyable and safe for your pets 👻

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Many dogs experience fear or anxiety during storms, triggered by changes in air pressure, thunder, lightning, or even static electricity in their fur.

Signs can range from pacing, panting, trembling, and hiding, to destructive behaviour or trying to escape. These reactions aren’t simply “bad behaviour”. They are a genuine fear response, and dogs need calm reassurance and safety when storms roll in.

Here are some tips to help your pet during storms:

⚡️
Create a quiet, secure space away from windows and loud noises, such as a covered crate, bathroom, or interior room.
⚡️
Play white noise or gentle music, using pheromone diffusers, and staying calm yourself can also make a difference.
⚡️
Reward calm behaviour rather than reinforcing fear helps your dog build confidence over time.

For dogs with severe storm phobia, medication and calming aids prescribed by our veterinarians can be life-changing. These may include short-acting anti-anxiety medication, longer-term behavioural support, or supplements that reduce stress.

If your dog’s fear seems extreme or is worsening each storm season, it’s worth booking a consultation with us. We can help them AND you keep calm this storm season 🙂✨

It’s been a big week for Miss Darla! Her wonderful owner noticed an increase in Darla’s urination and that the urine seemed “grainy”. She came straight to where we performed a number of diagnostic tests and found stones in her bladder.

Drs. Ashley and Michaela performed a surgical cystotomy and multiple stones were removed. Darla’s bladder was then flushed and tested to ensure she could urinate normally again.

Miss Darla recovered beautifully from her surgery and is now back to her high-energy Puglet self!

If your pet is ever straining to urinate, urinating more, or things just seem “odd”, please call us immediately. Bladder stones, urinary blockages and UTIs can be incredibly painful and even life-threatening.

VENOMOUS SNAKE ALERT 🚨🐍

Spring and summer in South East Queensland bring beautiful weather, but right now, there is a huge increase in snake activity in and surrounding areas.

As temperatures rise, snakes become more active while seeking food and mates, often crossing paths with curious dogs in yards, bushland, or walking tracks. It’s also very dry at the moment and we have had multiple clients report brown snakes very close to their homes.

Dogs are at particular risk because they may investigate or attempt to chase snakes. Even a small amount of venom can be life-threatening, so recognising the signs and acting quickly can save a life.

If you suspect your dog has been bitten, keep them as still as possible and get to a vet immediately. Do not attempt first aid such as tourniquets or cutting the wound. Antivenom treatment is most effective when administered quickly.

Prevention is equally important: keep grass short around homes, clear away debris, and supervise your dog during outdoor play (we appreciate this gets tough with dogs on property!).

Signs your dog may have been bitten by a snake:
🐍 Sudden weakness or collapse
🐍 Trembling, drooling, or vomiting
🐍 Dilated pupils or unsteady gait
🐍 Difficulty breathing or rapid, shallow breaths
🐍 Paralysis or inability to stand
🐍 Bleeding from the bite site or nose
🐍 Pale gums and rapid heart rate

Even if symptoms seem mild or your dog appears to recover, call us immediately. Delays in testing and treatment can be fatal. We are here to help!
