🖤💛❤️ NAIDOC Week 2025 – Celebrating 20 Years of WALDHeP

This NAIDOC Week, we celebrate 20 years of the WALDHeP program — a veterinary initiative working in partnership with remote First Nations communities in the NT to support animal health and community well-being.

Founded and led by Dr Liz Tudor and Rick Tudor (Ali’s mum and dad), WALDHeP has been built on a two decade relationship of care, collaboration, trust and respect.

Congratulations to everyone who’s contributed over the years — especially Liz and Rick, whose dedication has kept the program going strong.

And a shout out to our WVC nurses for autoclaving surgical kits — a small role in a truly impactful program.

🐾 Say hello to Tiffany, the tiniest visitor at Somerville Vet this week! 🐶💖

At just 6 weeks old and tipping the scales at 740 grams, this little Chihuahua pup is giving us serious cuteness overload 😍

Watch out Steven… there’s another tiny Chi in town – but don’t worry, you’ll always be our favourite! 😉👑

Nurse Belinda indulged in pint-sized puppy cuddles. Welcome Tiffany – we can’t wait to see you grow!

Xena the Cane Corso puppy was at our Hastings Clinic for radiographs to investigate a lameness.

Xena was very excited to be at the clinic. She absolutely loved giving smooches to our vet nurse Sarah during her hospital stay.

🎉 Happy 49th Birthday to WVC! 🎉
It’s almost half a century since we first opened our doors at Hastings Vet Clinic – and this year marks 40 years since Somerville Vet began caring for the pets in our local community. 🐾💙

We’re proud to be the largest independent provider of veterinary care on the Mornington Peninsula, with a long legacy of nurturing the human–animal bond.

Thank you for continuing to trust us with your pets’ care 🐶🐱🐾

Exciting times are ahead – a brand new, purpose-built clinic is on its way in 2026 to deliver even better services for Somerville and surrounds!

Hip hip hooray! 🥳 Here’s to many more years of care and connection.

🐶🦷 Case of the Month: Brian the Basset Hound! 🦷🐶

Brian gave us all a scare when he got the metal clip from a laundry peg stuck around his tooth! 😬 Thankfully, Dr Bec was able to safely remove it under sedation.

We’re happy to report Brian is back to his happy self and popped in to see Lisa at Somerville Vet this week — tail wagging and none the worse for wear! 🐾

Let’s just say he won’t be helping with the laundry again any time soon… he’s officially hung up his pegs! 🧺😉

🐾✈️ Heading Away These Winter Holidays? Don’t Forget Your Pets! 🐶🐱

Ember wants to remind you that before you hit the road, it’s important to check your pet’s vaccinations are up to date ✅

🚗 Travelling north to NSW or QLD?
Ask us about Leptospirosis vaccination—a serious disease that’s more common in warmer climates 🌴🐕

Give us a call to check your pet’s vaccination status or to book in a visit before you go!

🐾 Proud to Support Our Community ⚽

We’ve been part of the Westernport community for almost 50 years, and supporting local organisations that make a difference is something we’re passionate about. 💙

That’s why we’re proud to sponsor the Westernport Wolves Soccer Club — a club that gives so much to our community, both on and off the field.

Here’s to teamwork, community spirit, and a great season of sport! 🐺⚽

🐾 When opposites attract… and become best friends! 🐾

Meet Sam, the towering Irish Wolfhound, and Pippa, the tiny Italian Greyhound. They both had an appointment at our Balnarring clinic and despite being complete opposites they became friends in the waiting room.

🦴 Sam is a classic gentle giant — Irish Wolfhounds are one of the tallest dog breeds in the world, originally bred for hunting wolves (yes, really!). Despite his size, Sam is a calm, gentle loving boy

🦴 Pippa might be small, but don’t be fooled — Italian Greyhounds are known for their elegance, speed, and a touch of diva energy. Pippa is a lovely little lady who loves to cuddle and is full of love.

💉🐾 Vaccine Reactions in Pets: What’s Normal? 🐾💉

Benji the spoodle felt a little off after his annual vaccination at our Somerville clinic — he vomited and came back in for a check. With some antihistamine and close monitoring from nurse Belinda, he was soon back to his happy self.

Most pets handle vaccinations just fine, but mild side effects can happen.
Here’s what to look out for:

✅ Common & Mild
• Tiredness
• Low appetite
• Slight fever
• Small lump at injection site

⚠️ Call Us If You See:
• Facial swelling or hives
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Breathing issues
• Collapse or seizures

Reactions are rare, but always worth a quick call if you’re unsure. Vaccines keep our pets protected — and we’re here if you have questions 💙
