As fellow pet parents, we understand the range of emotions when it comes time to say goodbye to your beloved family pet.
Weโre here to guide you through this difficult journey with compassion and understanding. Our mobile clinic offers end-of-life care in the comfort of your home, allowing your pet to be surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and most importantly, your love, uninterrupted from distraction.
๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ:
๐คWhatever time you have had with your pet, each day is a gift. And in the end, it is never long enough.
๐คThey deserve dignity at the end of their life.
๐คYou will never forget them. The grief from loss will become more manageable with time but is unlikely to leave you completely.
๐คIt is the most unselfish act of love you can show them.
๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐
๐จ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ฎ
If you are concerned about their welfare as they age and just want to make sure they are living their best life, our experienced vets can provide a complete health check and wellness blood and urine testing to ensure they are pain-free and with you for as long as possible.
Ultimately, there is no โrightโ way to navigate this path. Every pet and family is unique, and weโre here to support your decisions with empathy and respect.

Teddy the Magnificent ๐ค
Everyone meet Teddy the Poodle. He was very brave when Dr Lisa and Nurse Briony visited his parents place of work, Magnificent Mutts Dog Grooming https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090230977136&mibextid=LQQJ4d recently.
He needed his annual heartworm injection, preventative vaccines and heartworm test๐งช.

Whether your place of work is an office building, or your home, we are here to help make your veterinary care easier, less stressful, and all whilst not missing any work committments (if you want!).

In the veterinary profession, August is Pet Dental Month ๐. The aim is to shine a light on the importance of your petโs dental health care.
Over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats over the age of 3 have dental disease. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/dental-disease-in-dogs ๐
Dental disease causes pain, discomfort, bad breath, abscesses and a broken jaw due to bone destruction. With increased bacteria in their mouth, this can circulate to the rest of their body causing generalised diseaset their organs (including their heart).
Soโฆ this makes dental disease a VERY important topic in your petโs wellness.
Our veterinary team donโt JUST talk to you during August about your pets dental health care. We discuss this at every health check visit. We will examine your pets teeth and discuss a personalised care plan.

๐ Feed tough food often (multiple times a week)
- We like non-weight bearing bones such as roo or beef ribs, roo tails and beef knees. These also come in a dried form to avoid any yucky mess inside the house.
๐ Dried kibble such as Hillโs T/D (teeth diet) or Royal Canin Dental Diet.
- Veterinarians have formulated this kibble to minimise tartare build up. To be given daily.
๐ชฅ Brushing Teeth
- We put this at the bottom of the list because having the time to dedicate to this is not common for most owners. There is lots of information online to help you with this if you are interested in trying.

When a human goes to the dentist, you are aware of what is happening. Your dentist uses tecnhiques to minimise pain and discomfort. Your pet doesnโt understand what is happening and proper pain relief, like nerve blocks, canโt occur, so your pet may react to this pain by moving, or even biting.
๐ธ Dental x-rays are not taken, so the whole tooth isnโt examined. And when no anaesthetic is used, the tooth underneath the gum canโt be cleaned (after scientific research in this area).
โ ๏ธ Soโฆ owners are told that their petโs teeth are โfixedโ and โcleanโ when in fact only the tip of the iceberg is cleaned (and potentially painfully).
Our veterinarians will never recommend anaesthetic free dentals. Nor do any of our governing bodies.
If you wish to have this performed, that is your choice, but it should occur with this important knowledge. https://www.ava.com.au/policy-advocacy/policies/companion-animals-health/anaesthesia-free-dentistry-in-dogs-and-cats/
๐ฌ Please talk to our team about this if you have any questions.
Soโฆ just like how puppies are not just for Christmas, PET DENTAL AWARENESS is not just for August ๐๐ฆท๐พ.
Perfection
โฆmay look like 13โฆ yes THIRTEEN beautiful, squishy, cuddly sausage dog (Dachshund) puppies ๐ณ๐ฅฐ.
This manyโฆ ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ!
Dr Lisa and Nurse Briony went out to visit this huge bundle of joy this week. Thankfully, one mum didn't have to produce ALL these puppies (Dachshunds average litter size is 5 puppies).
The owner has both mums and they gave birth on the SAME day! Needless to say, its been a busy few weeks ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ and ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ!
The whole team (owner plus two mums๐ถ๐ถ๐ฉ๐ผ) have done a great job caring for these puppies (Wee Dachies - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550130045393&mibextid=LQQJ4d).
Each got their all important first health check and vaccine and microchip ready to go to their new homes.
โ ๏ธ Did you know that it is a legal requirement by Queensland government to have any puppy you have bred microchipped before selling? Contact our team to find out more before your appointment.
How many of us would like to just sit in the middle of this โpuddleโ of puppies?! ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐คพ
When Three Are Better Than One! ๐๐ถ๐โ๐ฆบ
Having three different dog breeds can sometimes be a wild combination. Each with very different personalities and demands.
But when Dr Lucinda and Nurse Briony visited this trio recently, they were astounded how well they all got along.
So a labrador mix, a staffy, and a sausage dog are apparently a great combo!! ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ Who wouldโa thunk it?!
We hope that they had as much fun as we did for their annual health checks and vaccines ๐ฉบ.
Do you have multiple pets and struggle to get them into the vets? Reach out to our friendly team today and see how we can make your life easier and less stressful ๐พ.
Happy Fri-yey ๐
We hope everyone is having a lovely Friday, just as relaxing as Puddaโs.
Do your cats have a favourite chill out area? Or are they sun chasers like ours? Share your favourite pictures below ๐ป๐พ.
Senior Pets ๐พ
As our pets age, they slow down. We think as pet parents that this can be normal. It can be, but it can also be a sign of pain.
Our friendly and experienced veterinarians visit your senior pets from the comfort of their homes and ensure that they aren't in pain.
There are many options available to alleviate pain, one being a relatively new medication. It works by neutralising inflammation and pain around damaged joints found in arthritis. This medication is called Beransa and it provides four weeks of pain relief. It can be given with other pain relief medications.
Some pet owner reviews: โThey have been playing with their toys moreโ, โthey are keen to go for longer walksโ and โThey seem so much happierโ.
Your pet may not tell you that they are uncomfortable. Contact us if you think that they have slowed down and we will ensure that they living their best life.
Email us at [email protected] or call 0413 622 529 (MACKAY).

Itโs Friday and I want to take a moment to celebrate the outstanding people on our team. ๐
Each of us bring unique personalities and experiences to our work, but with a common goal; ensuring your pet lives a happy healthy life, with you feeling confident that you have been heard.
As I get older I have noticed that I want to spend more time with a smaller group of good people. I am grateful to be surrounded at work by a team of positive, compassionate and thoughtful individuals in Lisa, Briony and Zoe. ๐
Some insights on our little teamโฆ
๐ทLisa has a fearce dedication to providing you with the best for your pet, based on science. She wonโt rest until this is achieved.
๐ผBriony is an empathetic powerhouse with many hats who we never failed to be impressed by.

๐ปAnd Iโm an advocate for the humans attached to the pets. Ensuring that we have a diagnosis so the best plan can be made for both of you.
Together, we want the best for the pets in our careโฆ and their humans! ๐ถ๐๐ซ
Thank you to the Mackay community for trusting us with your pets. I promise you that they are our passion and focus, and we understand the importance of the trust you place in us for their health. ๐ฉต
Wishing you all a lovely weekend,

New Disease Warning for Mackay Dogs๐จ
There is an emerging disease risk in Mackay for our pet dogs. We wanted to highlight this with you so that your pets are properly protected.
What is Ehrlichia?
Ehrlichia is a bacterial infection transmitted through tick bites. It affects dogs, leading to variable signs, from mild symptoms that range including fever and lethargy, to chronic waxing and waning disease that is not curable.
Why the Concern?
Our Mackay community has not YET seen a confirmed case of Ehrilichia, however the disease is in Townsville. Usually a disease in other parts of the country, it will eventually come to Mackay.
The disease can be fatal, and can also cause lifelong disease. It is therefore important for you to know the recommended way to protect your dog.
How Can You Protect Your Dog?
1. Tick Preventatives: Use tick prevention treatments appropriately. This means your dog needs a tick-repellant collar, e.g. Seresto. This is because the tick needs to bite for the other (tablet and spot-on) preventatives to work, but Ehrlichia is transmitted from tick bites.
2. Prompt Removal: If you find a tick, remove it promptly and correctly.
What to Watch For?
Be vigilant for symptoms such as:
* Unexplained fever
* Sudden lethargy
* Weight loss
* Joint pain or stiffness
* Unusual bleeding or bruising
Key Pointers:
๐พ Use a tick-repellant collar in addition to a tablet or spot-on preventative (these are best for paralysis ticks).
๐พ Stay informed on potential signs of disease. https://www.business.qld.gov.au/industries/farms-fishing-forestry/agriculture/biosecurity/animals/diseases/guide/canine-ehrlichiosis
๐พ Contact your vet if you think your pet is affected.
It doesn't get easier than this! ๐
Hoki enjoyed having our team as visitors recently for his routine veterinary care.
We think he quite enjoyed some pats on his bed from Nurse Briony.
If you and your pet would prefer to stay in the comfort of your home, contact our friendly team today to experience our difference ๐พ.

Puppies ๐ฌ...because they are cute!
Everyone meet Kahlo, the mini Groodle! His parents created an Instagram page for him ๐ โkahlo_minimerlegroodleโ. We love meeting pets with their own social media accounts. Maybe because we find comfort in knowing that there are some equally pet obsessed people in Mackay! ๐ฑ
Does anyone else have a pet with a social media account? Share with us their pages below โฌ ๐ค
Our Promise To You ๐ง
๐ตโ๐ซ Does your pet excessively pant in the car going to the vets?
๐ Do they get scared to be examined? Have they ever lashed out?
๐ Does your cat hiss on the consult room table?
๐ณThese are all signs of stress and anxiety. We know what this feels like. As humans we can verbalise when we experience stress or anxiety. But for our pets it relies on us picking up on their body language or actions. Just as happens with foreign languages, things are often lost in translation ๐ฃ๏ธ.
A dog growling in a consult room doesn't mean they're a โbad dogโ. It is however ALWAYS a warning from that dog. โBack offโ, โIโm scaredโ. โ
As trained professionals, we have to โspeak dog and catโ, both through verbal and physical signals. So when we meet your pet and make recommendations, it is ALWAYS done with your pets best interest at heart.
๐ฏ Sometimes this means that we need medication to help your pet receive the care that they need. This may be Gabapentin, or Clonidine, or Zactin, or Trazadone. Each works differently, and can be used in combination.
๐ฏ Sometimes it means โless is moreโ when performing a physical examination. Building up trust first.
๐ฏ Sometimes it means seeking qualified behaviouralists to help you do some training at home before they will accept examinations or medications from us.
๐ Whatever our recommendation, it is said with decades of experience and with advanced training to ensure a โless stressโ or โFear Freeโ approach for them.
So, if you are looking for a vet to work WITH your petโฆTo minimise their stress (and hopefully yours!)โฆWe are here to help. ๐ค
๐ฒ Send us an email to [email protected] or call or text 0413 622 529 (MACKAY).
Our friendly and experienced local team look forward to meeting your pet family soon ๐พ.
Brave Boy ๐ค
Meet Buddha, the brave Border Collie willing to give vets another chance!
Previously, the mere mention of โthe vetโ sent him hiding. The bright lights, unfamiliar smells, and bustling atmosphere of traditional vet clinics are just too much for him ๐ซฃ.
Recently, Dr. Lisa and Nurse Briony went to Buddhaโs house for routine veterinary care. In his familiar surroundings, his anxiety melted away. He greeted Dr. Lisa and Nurse Briony with cautious curiosity, but soon he was leaning in for pats and cuddles.
Our team took their time, offering treats and gentle reassurance. By the end of the visit, he was happily munching on snacks and even offered his paw! ๐พ
Seeing Buddha becoming more relaxed and happy during a vet visit was lovely to see. Home visits for pets like Buddha can be a game-changer, proving that with a little patience and the right environment, even the most nervous pups can feel safe and trusting. โค๏ธ
If you have a dog or cat that is nervous to go to the traditional veterinary clinic environment, then reach out to our friendly and experienced local team to see if we can make their routine veterinary care less stressful for all. ๐ค
Call us on 0413 622 529 (MACKAY) ๐, or book an appointment online at www.mackaymobilevets.com.au ๐ฒ. We look forward to helping your animal family soon.
Thank You ๐
We want to express our gratitude to our wonderful clients for being so understanding when we need to reschedule appointments. ๐
Often, these changes allow us to support families to say goodbye to their beloved pets at home.
When you choose our mobile vet clinic for routine veterinary care at your home, we appreciate your trust in our team to provide the best service for you and your family.
That trust is never greater when faced with the difficult decision of saying goodbye to your best friend at home ๐. Knowing how important this time is, this service is a priority for us.
We understand that adjusting appointment times can be inconvenient, especially since you rely on the convenience of our mobile clinic.
So, allowing us to accommodate families in need by rescheduling is appreciated more than you know ๐.
Thank you once again for trusting us to care for not only your family pets, but also those of others in our communit. Thinking of those who have lost a beloved pet recently. ๐พ
Sincerely,
Lucinda, Lisa, Briony, and Zoe x

Bonus is you avoid traffic ๐๐, the pet car trip ๐คข, juggling kids๐ถ๐ผ๐ถ๐ผ, and allowing you to continue working from home ๐ป with minimal time distraction ๐. If you need a vet team to help with your pets routine non urgent care, we love helping you AND your pet ๐ฉบ. And a vet team who actually enjoy their workโฆ The human (YOU!) behind the animal is equally important to us as your pet. We want you to be actively involved in their care, we are a team ๐ค๐ผ. We look forward to helping YOU and your PETS ๐ถ๐. #mackay #mackaymobilevets #mackaypets #humananimalbond #grateful #gratefulforpets #mackayvets #vetlife #localvet #mobilevet #vetnearme #vetcare #smallanimalvet #myvet

Did Your Vet Mention... That your pet may not need routine vaccinations ๐. ๐ค Your petโs health is our top priority, and we believe in personalised, transparent and honest care tailored to their individual needs. ๐ถ๐ฑ What EVERY PET does need is an annual health check. It is common for us to detect ailments or sources of discomfort that your pet has not told you, their family member about. โค๏ธ Before making any decisions about vaccinations, chat to our team ๐. Schedule an appointment with us, and together, we'll discuss your pet's lifestyle, risk factors, and the most suitable vaccination plan. ๐ฌ Phone 0413 622 529 Online Booking www.mackaymobilevets.com.au Email [email protected] #TrustAndTransparency #PetHealth #VaccinationConversations #vetmackay #veterinarian #localvet #smallbusinessmackay #mackay #mackaymobilevets #familyvet #vetlife #vaccines #vetvaccines #petvaccines #dogvaccines #catvaccines
Sorry Not Sorry! ๐ฌ We are pet obsessed. If your pet likes hanging out with us, we like hanging out with them! ๐ถLittle Daisy the Tenterfield Terrier had a vet visit recently for her health check and essential vaccines. As you can see she loved the treats and attention from Nurse Briony. And Briony loved giving them! โ๏ธSo, when we come to visit your pets, they WILL receive veterinary care and you WILL receive advice, but your pet WILL also receive some pats and treats on the side ๐๐พ. #mackaymobilevets #mackay #petsmackay #pets #petsarefamily #puppyvaccines #puppytreats #tenterfieldterrier #mackayqld #mackayvet

This is Sam the Border Collie. Dr Lisa recently visited his home to perform a complete health check and provide preventative vaccinations. ๐ฉบ Sam has previously visited the fixed clinic for his veterinary care. Itโs obvious to his family that he doesnโt enjoy this and gets very nervous there. As a pet owner and veterinarian, we know that this is stressful to all parties. No one wins. His family decided to try an at home vet visit to see if he was happier (and less stressed). Success! ๐ฅณ Sam was much calmer in his own environment and more comfortable being examined. By allowing Dr Lisa to perform a complete check we ensure a more thorough examination and less chance of missing disease. The added benefit (to all!) was the game of ball that happened afterwards โฝ๏ธ. Thanks for inviting us over Samโs family. And we are very happy that we can now help him without the stress. If you have a dog or cat who gets stressed by the journey to the vets, or the veterinary clinic in general, contact our friendly team today to see if an at home vet visit would benefit the whole family more ๐ฉต. Call 0413 622 529 (MACKAY) or Email [email protected]. We love helping you and your pets ๐พ #mackaymobilevets #mackayvet #fearfreevet #vetmackay #bordercolliemackay #bordercollie #dogvaccines #mackay
