🔥 EXTREME HEAT & BUSHFIRE PREPAREDNESS – PLEASE READ 🔥

This week we’re heading into high 30s and strong winds across NSW, which means extreme heat stress risk for pets and increased bushfire danger. Please take a moment to protect your animals and be prepared.

🥵 Heat Safety for Pets
Keep pets indoors or in shaded, cool areas.

Provide plenty of fresh, cool water—multiple bowls if possible.

Avoid walking dogs in the middle of the day; hot roads burn paws.

Never leave pets in cars, even for a minute.

Watch for signs of heat stress: excessive panting, drooling, wobbliness, vomiting, collapse. Seek vet help immediately if you’re concerned.

🔥 Bushfire Emergency Kit for Pets
Being prepared can save lives. If you live in or near bushland, have your pet’s “go bag” ready:

🐾 For Dogs & Cats:

Collar, lead, harness & carrier

Bottled water & collapsible bowl

3–5 days of food (tinned or dry)

Medications + written instructions

Vaccination & microchip details

Recent photos of your pets

A towel or blanket

Waste bags / litter & tray

A comfort item (toy, bed)

🐴 For Horses & Livestock:

Halters, leads & ID tags

Water containers & feed

Evacuation map & plan for safe paddocks

Microchip numbers / brand details

Spray paint or stock markers for emergency ID if evacuation is impossible

🚨 Have a Bushfire Plan
Know where you will go early—do not wait for fires to be close.

Keep your pets confined so they are easy to load quickly.

Make sure microchip details are up to date.

Follow local RFS alerts and leave as early as possible.

Stay safe, stay cool, and please look out for your animals and each other this week. ❤️🐾 If you need advice, feel free to call the clinic.

A Huge Congratulations to Dr Russell Barnett

As many of you may already know, Russell has officially taken the next step in his career, moving into an overseer role supporting clinics across much of Sydney — and we could not be prouder.

From his early days as a young teenager learning under Rob, to becoming a determined new graduate, to the exceptional veterinarian and colleague he is today, Russell has grown into a leader defined by compassion, integrity, and genuine dedication to the profession.

Over the years, Russell has:

* mentored countless vet students and new grads with patience and generosity
* guided complex cases with calm confidence
* advocated fiercely for the wellbeing of every patient
* supported owners through some of their hardest days with kindness and clarity
* uplifted his team with humour, empathy, and real care

He is someone who loves his clients and their pets, and just as deeply loves the people he works alongside. Russell brings warmth to every room, steadiness to every tough moment, and excellence to every patient he touches.

Although we will miss seeing him at Vineyard every day, we know this new role is exactly where he’s meant to be, shaping veterinary care across Sydney, inspiring future vets, and continuing to influence the profession for the better.

Please join us in congratulating this truly amazing man.
Russell, we are so proud of you. Thank you for everything, and we wish you every success in this exciting new chapter. 💙🐾

Friday truly marked the end of an era. After 20 incredible years, we are saying goodbye to someone who has been not only a cornerstone of Vineyard Veterinary Hospital, but a cherished part of its heart and soul.

Ann, words don’t feel big enough for the impact you’ve had here. Your dedication, compassion, loyalty, and humour have shaped this clinic in ways that will be felt for decades to come. You’ve stood beside our team through the best and hardest of days, and Vineyard has been a better place because of you.

We are so grateful for the love you have poured into every patient, every client, and every team member. Working alongside you has been a privilege, and we know just how lucky we’ve been to call you part of our VVH family for so long.

As you step into your new venture, we wish you nothing but success, happiness, and fulfilment. You deserve every good thing coming your way.

We will miss you terribly — your presence, your spirit, your laughter, and the history you carry with you.

And of course, a heartfelt thank you to the man who started it all, Rob Zammit — whose humour, devotion, and passion helped create the Vineyard you’ve called home for two decades.

Ann, thank you for 20 wonderful years.
With all our love,
Your Vineyard Veterinary Hospital family

🌸 World Kindness Day Celebrating Amber 🌸

Today, on World Kindness Day, we recognise and celebrate Amber, whose compassion and dedication shine through in everything she does.

Amber is endlessly giving of her time and attention. Whether it’s supporting her colleagues, comforting our clients, or caring for our patients with patience and empathy. Her awareness and gentle care extend to all animals, including our wildlife and rescue patients, where she goes above and beyond to ensure every creature receives the kindness it deserves.

Amber truly embodies what the veterinary industry should be: compassionate, generous, and wholeheartedly devoted to making a difference.

Thank you, Amber, for being a constant reminder of why kindness matters every single day. 💛

💔 Farewell to Our Beloved Clinic Cat, Blackie 💔

From his wild beginnings living off rabbits out the front in Robert’s dingy, to his capture, desexing and eventual return to us — Blackie has been part of the Vineyard Vet family for nearly 20 wonderful years.

Over the years he’s taken on many important roles — from temperament testing dogs for cat tolerance, “supervising” bird releases (and sometimes hindering them!), to simply being the heart of our clinic.

Blackie wasn’t just a clinic cat; he was family. He brought us love, laughter, scratches, and comfort in equal measure — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thank you, Blackie, for your many years of loyalty, mischief and companionship. You’ll always be a part of Vineyard Vet. 🌈🐾💕

🇦🇺🌺 Remembrance Day 🌺🇦🇺

Today we pause to honour the courage and sacrifice of all the men and women who have served our country — past and present.

We also remember the countless animals who went to war beside them — the horses, dogs, pigeons, donkeys and so many others who carried, comforted and protected. Their loyalty and bravery will never be forgotten. 🕊️🐾

At 11am, we’ll stop to remember them all.
Lest we forget. ❤️

🐾🎓 Our current Puppy Preschool class is absolutely smashing it! These little legends are learning new skills, growing in confidence, and having so much fun along the way 🐶💛

We can’t wait to see how far they come by graduation — keep up the great work, pups (and parents)!

Big thanks to **Pawsonality** for helping guide their learning journey 🐾✨

🐾 UPDATE ON PEDRO! 🐾

We’re so relieved to share that Pedro has been found safe and well! ❤️

A big thank you to the lovely team at Northmead Vet, who kindly cared for him while he was missing. As Pedro’s microchip wasn’t on the NSW Companion Animal Register until Saturday afternoon, they had no way of contacting his owners sooner.

This is a great reminder to check that your pet’s microchip details are up to date and registered on the correct state or territory database — it can make all the difference in getting them home quickly if they ever go missing. 🐶💚

Welcome home, Pedro! 🎉

🚨 MISSING DOG – PLEASE HELP! 🚨

One of our clients’ much-loved Labradors has gone missing from the Baulkham Hills area during yesterday’s storms (around 4pm). 💔

This beautiful boy has epilepsy and urgently needs his medication, so time is critical. He is listed as missing on the NSW Companion Animal Register.

If you’re in the Baulkham Hills or surrounding areas, please keep an eye out and check your yards and local parks.

If found, please contact the numbers on the poster immediately or take him to your nearest vet so he can get the care he needs. 🐾

Let’s help get him home safe! 🙏💙
