To a pop up clinic next door, the opening of our Northern Beaches clinic at the Coles complex and then the opening of the modern custom built clinic in Andergrove in 2017.
Together with all staff original and new, we would like to thank all our lovely clients and their pets for their continued to support.

Cassie presented to the clinic today as her owner noticed that she had accidentally eaten some macadamia nuts at home ๐ฐ
Macadamia nuts can be highly toxic when ingested by our fur babies.
Luckily her owners are well educated and got in contact with the clinic right away. Quick action by Dr Beth meant that within only 1 hour of ingestion we were able to induce vomiting and prevent any complications as a result. Cassie was able to go home with her owners not long after ๐พ๐ค
In case of ingestion, please contact the clinic as soon as possible.

Adopt me ๐ฅฐEveryone meet Dolly!She is a beautiful six year old female. Very sadly she has come to us for help as her owner recently passed away and is now looking for her happily ever after home. She is desexed, up to date with vaccinations, worming, flea and tick prevention and she is microchipped. She is a bit shy to start off with but when she gets to know you, she is very cuddly and playful. If you might be interested in adopting this sweet girl, please get in contact with us ๐พ๐ค#adopt #vet #sweet #cat

Unfortunately the nation wide shortage for the Lepto Australis vaccine is ongoing. We have been told another 4-6 weeks. here is some information regarding ways to minimise your dogs chances and what Leptospirosis is.
Is your cat starting to slow down? As the cooler weather approaches the aches and pains of arthritis become more obvious. Is your cat slower walking up the stairs, reluctant to jump onto cupboards, these can be signs of arthritis and there is a solution. Phone and make an appointment with one of our veterniarians to discuss options.
Is your furry friend starting to feel the cooler weather? Are they having difficulties jumping onto cupboards and not wanting to play as much. Maybe Solensia is the answer? Please hone and book an appointment with one of our veterinarians so they can discuss some arthritis relief for your cat.
Beautiful Matilda showing nurse Kimmy some Easter love after her annual vaccinations ๐ฃ๐ค We hope all of our incredible clients, their fur/ feathered babies, our staff, family and friends enjoy this time off with their loved ones. Please remember chocolate in all forms is toxic for our dogs and cats, but donโt let that stop the humans from enjoying as much as youโd like! ๐ซ๐พ #happyeaster #vetclinic #husky
