This Anzac Day, we remember not only the courage and sacrifice of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers but also the loyal animals who served alongside them.

During World War I, dogs played vital roles on the battlefield—hauling supplies, delivering messages under fire, and even carrying first aid kits to wounded soldiers.

These animals shared the hardships of war, embodying the same spirit of endurance and mateship that defines the Anzac legacy.

As we pause to honour those who gave everything for our freedom, let us also reflect on the silent bravery of these animals, whose devotion helped save countless lives 🐕🐾.

On ANZAC day we are not open. Our team will be back to help local pets Monday 28th April. Please contact your local fixed clinic for emergencies or email any non urgent enquiries to [email protected]. Thank you.

Lest we forget 🌹.

Wishing You All A Happy Easter 🐣

Easter is a time of renewal, hope, and compassion.

Our team are reminded of these values every day when a beloved pet recovers, the relief in a worried owner’s eyes, and the quiet beauty found in simple acts of kindness, both to each other and to our animals 🐶🐈🦜.

This is a time to pause and reflect on the strength that compassion brings, the promise of fresh starts, and the hope that carries us through life’s challenges.

Whether you’re spending the weekend with family or friends or curled up beside your pets, we hope it brings peace, connection, and a gentle reminder that better days are always ahead.

Thank you for trusting us with the care of your cherished pets. Happy Easter 🐣.

With gratitude,
The Mackay Mobile Vets Team 🐾

Here To Help 🐶

Lola is a beautiful 15 year old senior canine companion of her family.

They reached out recently because they had noticed her in pain and not able to walk or sleep as well as previously. They knew something had to be done to help her. But…Lola is anxious at the vets and didn’t want to stress her out.

Being a mobile service, we can help pets from the comfort of their own homes, without the stress for them.

Dr Tiffany and nurse Briony went to talk to her owners and work out their worries, and also to assess Lola and work out a plan to help ease her pain and hopefully give her some restful nights.

After a thorough assessment, a plan was made and Lola didn’t have to leave the comfort and familiarity of her home. Within 24hrs she was already feeling better.

Her owners shared with us their gratitude;
“Mackay Mobile Vets are such an excellent service particularly for those of us who have elderly dogs who can’t or don’t like going to a vets clinic.

Dr Tiffany and Briony were both so kind, caring, compassionate, professional and amazing- even Lola loved them! We are so grateful and happy with their service and cannot say enough amazing things about them!

Thank you for taking such excellent care of our beloved Lola- our whole family appreciate you so much!

We would 100% recommend you to anyone”.

We exist to help you with your pets. We are thankful that we could help Lola. We hope we can help your pets in the future 🐾.

Wishing your furry family a safe and happy Easter, without chocolate! 🍫

🐉 Sunshine, Scales, and a Lesson in Bone Health ☀️

Meet Kaido—a curious little bearded dragon who loves basking in the sun in his adorable harness, right under the watchful eye of his human.

This is because his human is aware that reptiles need direct UVB light, which is what they get from unfiltered sunlight. If they don’t get adequate UVB light, they can become very unwell.

One common condition that 𝐃𝐫 𝐓𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐲 consults on regularly with reptile owners is 𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐂 𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄. Owners notice increased lethargy, sleeping more, eating less, and moving with a bit of a wobble.

After a thorough exam, Dr Tiffany can diagnose this condition and create a treatment plan to get them back to full health. MBD happens when reptiles don’t get the right balance of calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D3, and—crucially as mentioned before—UVB light.

Often, just an old UVB bulb is the cause of the problem, or getting access to sunlight through a glass window, which blocks those vital UVB rays.

👉 The good news?
With the right care, MBD can be treated—especially when caught early. Dr Tiffany helps owners with these environmental changes, including setting up a new UVB light inside the enclosure (no mesh lids or plastic barriers), introducing a calcium-only supplement without vitamin D3, and a diet tailored to your reptile's needs. We also recommended 30 minutes of direct, unfiltered sunshine (harnessed and supervised, of course!) at least 3 times a week.

Here’s what we want you to take this post:

☀️Reptiles need direct UVB light—either from a high-quality bulb (changed every 6–9 months) or from real, unfiltered sunlight.

🦎Not all supplements are created equal. Your scaly friend needs calcium without vitamin D3 plus a good multivitamin, tailored to their species.

🕶️Glass, plastic, and mesh block UVB—so basking indoors by the window doesn't cut it.

🩺Regular check-ups with a vet that has studied veterinary exotic medicine (every 6–12 months) can help catch issues before they become serious.

Your reptile might not be able to tell you something’s wrong—but changes in their bones, appetite, or behaviour are often their way of waving a red flag. 💡

If you're unsure about your reptile’s UV setup, supplements, or diet, we’re here to help. Book in for a husbandry check or chat with 𝐃𝐫 𝐓𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐲, our reptile and exotics vet. Like Kaido, your little lizard deserves a life full of sunshine and strong, healthy bones.

Bobby and Briony 🖤

Bobby recently had a visit with Dr Lucinda and nurse Briony. He seems to have a favourite 😉.

Interacting with animals has been shown to decrease levels of cortisol (a stress-related hormone) and lower blood pressure.

They can also reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and boost your mood. This is even true for us when we get to meet and know your pets.

As a pet owner, do you agree?

One At a Time!

If you are a doggy pet parent then you may be familiar with the dreaded “scale dance”! 💃

Trying to convince dogs to get onto the scale is often quite challenging. It involves many considerations; the position of the scale in the room, the location of treats to the scale and if they are shy of being touched near the scale!

So when we visited Bonnie and her (not so) little brother Rocco, and they seemed to be attracted to the dreaded scale, we were extatic that there was no negotiation necessary! In fact, both were happy to just sit on the scale leisurely together… 💕

If we could re-create this for all other canine patients this would be the stuff of legends!!

The Sun’s Out!

Gratitude post for lunch breaks with a view, breeze, and sun 🤩.

In the midst of everyday life its easy to rush and not take the time to reflect on the positive little things.

This is your reminder to stop, reflect, and find gratitude in your day 🌴🐾.

We Love A Good Crumpet 🖤

Everyone meet Crumpet 😻. The cat with the best white whiskas, a great name, a love of being home, and a tolerance of our mobile vet and nurse, Lucinda and Briony!

It’s a great day in the vet van when we meet cool animals and their owners. And this was such a day. Meeting pet owners that we can share our crazy love of animals with (and Taylor Swift…ahum, Briony!!), is an added highlight to our day 🥰.

Thanks for tolerating us Crumpet, we enjoyed meeting you (and your mum!) for your annual check up and vaccines.

What part of your day (that’s not work related) brings you joy? 🥳🐾

Golden Retrievers 🐶💛

Everyone meet Mila and her baby sister Maple who are Golden Retrievers.

Golden Retrievers are known for their affectionate nature, intelligence, and friendly demeanor, making them one of the most popular family pets. They thrive on companionship, love to be active, and are always eager to please—whether it’s playing fetch, going for a swim, or simply being by your side.

Like all breeds, Goldens have specific health concerns that owners should be aware of:

⚠️Hip & Elbow Dysplasia
This is due to 3 main reasons:
1️⃣ Their genetic makeup.
When looking for a puppy from this breed ensure that their parents should have had hip and elbow X-rays (aka scores) done. If their parents have hip or elbow dysplasia, it’s likely the puppy will.
2️⃣ Correct nutrition for “large breed” dogs during puppyhood.
3️⃣ Exercise. Not over exercising until 18months old (skeletal maturity). This means not taking them on “runs” and not pushing them to exercise.

⚠️ Ear Infections –
Due to their floppy ears and living in a humid location, moisture can get trapped increasing the risk of infections. The most common infection is yeast. Regular ear cleaning helps prevent issues. Otoflush and Kleo are our recommendations.

⚠️ Skin Allergies & Hot Spots –
Genetically, Goldens can have allergic skin disease, which can lead to itching and superficial infections. Maintaining a clean coat can minimise hot spots (skin infections).

⚠️ Cancer Risk –
Unfortunately, Goldens have a higher-than-average risk of certain cancers.
‼️Desexed females are 4️⃣ x MORE likely to develop some cancers than entire females.
Talk to your veterinarian about the scientific research and what’s the best plan for your Goldie.

Caring for a Golden means providing them with proper nutrition, regular exercise, and routine veterinary care to keep them happy and healthy. If you have any questions about your Golden’s health, we’re here to help!

📸 Are you a Goldie owner? Share a picture of them in the comments—we’d love to see them!

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

Today isn’t about material things like flowers and chocolates—it’s about reflecting on the love in our lives. And who gives us a more pure, unconditional love than our pets?

They greet us with excitement, stay by our side through every high and low, and never ask for anything in return. Whether it’s a wagging tail, a gentle purr, or a knowing nuzzle, our pets remind us every day that love isn’t just something to say—it’s something to show 🥰.

So today, let’s celebrate the love that makes our families whole. Give your pets an extra cuddle, an extra treat, or an extra-long walk—because they deserve it all.

And if you happen to receive flowers or chocolates, take the day to appreciate who gave them and their impact in your life 🍫💐.

We’re endlessly grateful for the love our pets bring into our lives. Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕🐶😻🐾
