I guess you could say that Scooter was sleeping on the job today. We visited Wallamara and caught up with some patients and staff there. Then it was off to the Ambulance where Scooter took another opportunity to take a quick nap, bless him.

Some weekend boarders having fun and keeping cool.

21/11/2025

I am pretty excited, we have just put an office in for the boarding side of the business. I can now meet and greet people at the office and do all the necessary paper work at a desk in comfort with each client. There will be individual storage for each dog staying a fridge and a designated meal prep area. We still have some things to do to complete it but we are well on the way.

Shinny had a big morning at the hospital today, she was full of energy and cheekiness keeping us all on our toes. She visited lots of staff and 7 paitents bringing smiles, conversation and cuddles.

ATTENTION SOCIAL GROUP.

There will be no more small dog shy dog social group for 2025.

We have had a brown and a black snake down at the dam this week. I am no longer comfortable to have your dogs down there until Autum 2026.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for such a wonderful and fun year of Sunday afternoon fun with our dogs.

I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable Christmas and look forward to seeing you all next year.

Cheers Karen and Scooter.

This service will be opening in Narromine in December, the area so needs more vets, they are doing large animal and small animal.

🌟 WHO ARE WE? 🌟
Grace and Angus are two mates who met back in first year of vet school when they got lumped together for an assignment—and haven’t looked back since. Just to clear things up early: they’re just great friends. From desexing street dogs in India and Sri Lanka, to doing practical work in a chilly abattoir in south-east Victoria, their early adventures set the tone: a mix of hard work, a lot of laughs, and a shared love for veterinary life.

In 2024, their paths crossed again at an equine dentistry course in Grafton (because where else would two vet nerds reunite?). Before long, Grace was working alongside Angus in Charters Towers for a 9-month stint. Over many cups of coffee, early mornings, and late-night call-outs, an idea began brewing.

That idea? To create a genuine, down-to-earth mixed practice in Dubbo and Narromine - one built on trust, good humour, and a whole lot of heart.

Between them, they offer a wide range of services including cattle reproduction and herd health, equine reproduction, dentistry, lameness and general health care, and a broad spectrum of small animal medicine and surgery.

They’re here to do good work, have a laugh, and be the kind of vets they’d want for their own animals—no fluff, just honest care (and maybe a bit of friendly banter along the way).

This pic just came up on my memories from 12 years ago, what a spectacular little dog Bazil was and still is. This little pound puppy has given me his all in everything we have done together, love him to the moon and back. He is approaching 17 years old now, life has slowed down but he is still 100% the best little dog ever.

It was Scooter's turn to bring some cuddles and smiles to patients and staff at the hospital today. He visited the maternity and medical wards this morning, making new friends and sharing cuddles and pats with some old friends as well.
