🎉🍻🐄👨‍⚕️ 42-YEAR VETTING ANNIVERSARY AND FAREWELL TO DR. PHIL 👨‍⚕️🐄🍻🎉

On this day, 42 years ago, Dr. Phil Poulton joined the practice we now know as Gippsland Veterinary Group, and today we bid him farewell as he embarks on the next chapter of his incredible life.

Starting as a mixed animal vet, Phil quickly found his niche caring for cattle. In 2012 he completed his PhD in downer cow management and has gone on to share this passion with clients, veterinary colleagues and the next generation of vets as a lecturer and examiner at the University of Melbourne Vet School, author in veterinary textbooks and webinar presenter to vets all over the world. In case you haven’t seen Phil in action you can find him on YouTube 😉 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5fs-sNSWOl8

Phil has contributed in a significant way to the lives of many, many animals and their owners throughout Gippsland and the Bass Coast, and helped to shape and grow the practice in his role as a veterinarian and also as a Director. He will be missed immensely by his clients and colleagues alike.

Please join us in congratulating Phil on a stellar career with Gippsland Veterinary Group and wishing him all the very best for his future adventures ❤️👨‍⚕️🎉
