Marley the wonder dog!

Meet Marley, this wonder pup and his owner made an immediate trip down to the clinic the other week, upon hearing that a critical care patient required an urgent blood transfusion. Thanks to Marley’s donation, the critical patient has since stabilised, returned home and remains happy and well.

We can’t thank Marley or his owner enough for their quick response to our call out.

As a reminder to our community, we’re always looking for blood donor dogs to have on hand for these unexpected emergencies. If you have a healthy dog who is over 25kgs and is under 7 years of age that you would like to register as a donor, please contact the clinic on 6243 0083.

5 Steps to help with anxious pets this New Year’s Eve.

1. Please make sure pets are secure, with access to essentials if you are planning on heading out for the festivities.

2. If your pets are inside, then try closing the curtains to keep the light from fireworks out.

3. Leaving the TV or radio on may help to muffle the noise from outside celebrations.

4. Interactive feeders are a great source of distraction.

5. A walk in today's beautiful sunshine might help burn off any extra energy before the evening comes.

24/12/2024

With all the exciting festivities sure to be had tonight and tomorrow, please make sure that your pet’s don’t help themselves to your deliciously baked goods!

We hope Santa Paws comes and visits all of our furry friends that we’ve seen throughout the year!

Merry Christmas!

Reduced Services.

We have always strived to ensure our clinic is able to provide some level of weekend care to our patients and were lucky enough to continue this service during the whole of COVID19.

However, due to staff shortages we have made the difficult decision to temporarily stop this service. This means that as of Saturday the 14th of September, we will no longer be open on weekends.

Though not made lightly, this decision was made to ensure that our remaining team on the floor does not experience burnout and is still able to provide exceptional care from Monday through to Friday.

Our current team shortages may also mean that at times we have to refer you to seek treatment elsewhere. Please keep in mind that wait times for appointments, follow-up phone calls, dispensed medications and surgical procedures may be increased. Although our resources will be limited over the next couple of months, we hope to return to normal working capacities once our team is fully staffed again.

Your understanding and compassion during these difficult times is greatly appreciated, and we hope to return to our normal working capacities soon.

Kind regards,
LVC Team

ATTENTION ALL *SMILE COMPETITION ENTRANTS*

Unfortunately we’ve been informed that there is a scam account impersonating our clinic. This account uses our profile picture and acts under the name ‘Selection Winner’. The account comments on entrants images, announcing individuals as a winner. It then asks individuals to register, follow a link, and provide personal banking information.

This account has since been reported to Facebook Administrators. Whilst we wait for them to take action, we ask that people do not respond to this scam account or provide them with personal information. We encourage people to also report this account as a scam, in the hopes that the increased number of reports, will shorten the response time from Facebook Administrators.

Our clinic will be announcing the *Smile Competition Winner at the end of the month, and apologies for any inconvenience that this scam account has caused.

Kind regards,
LVC Team.
