Vets in Fawkner

Hazel visited us for her 8 week puppy vaccinations!
Can't wait to watch this little sweetheart grow over the coming months. 🤎

06/08/2024

Yogi came to visit us fresh from the groomers!
Some dogs would think a groom followed by a trip to the vet means the week is going particularly poorly, but Yogi took it all in his stride. What a good boy! 🤗

30/07/2024

Look who's back!
After a brief hiatus, Dr Andrew Dallimore is back and ready to give your pooches and pusses all the love.
A firm favourite with many of our clients, Dr Andrew is sure to book up quickly, so call our reception team today if you've been meaning to get that vaccination done/lump checked/behavioural quirk worked on!

Bandit visited the clinic this week for his arthritis injection. Regular jabs can significantly improve your pet's quality of life when those 'creaky joints' set in.
If you notice your pet moving stiffly, having trouble getting up from bed, or showing reluctance to play, have a chat with our vets about what options are available to get your senior feeling like a spring chicken again!

The days are getting chilly!
Time to bust out the chunky knits - see Tessa for inspo 🤗

Did you know that puppies like Donnie need extra liver treats during vet visits because... science.
Trust us, we're doctors.

Happy World Veterinary Day!
Sending a big shout out to our wonderful team of vets - thank you for all your hard work, and sorry for those frequent occasions your coffee goes cold because there's just no time to drink it.
Here's our Dr Kenneth, cold coffee just out of shot.

Hope everyone stayed cool over the long weekend - it was a doozie!
Remember, if it's too hot to walk, you can always insist on being carried everywhere. 💅

Tigi wins the award for best hospital patient yesterday. (Fun fact: he checked in as a girl, but was quickly discovered to be a boy! Either way, the desexing went ahead 😅)

23/01/2024

Who says Christmas parties have to be in December!
The team finally got to enjoy our end of year celebrations over the weekend. It's always so lovely to see everyone dressed in something other than scrubs! 😅
A lovely time was had by all, and we only talked about our pets and our patients for half of the evening!

15/01/2024

More patients dressed like they're a member of Run DMC, thanks.

Nala came in for a desexing and brought her emotional support unicorn.

👀 Notice anything different? 👀
*flicks hair*

New signage, new name!

Our patients are Barbie. We're just Ken. 😍

You've got to be good at multi-tasking to be on our reception team. Especially when puppies like Daisy insist on coming around the counter for cuddles... It's okay, we can work one handed!

Doing our best puppy dog eyes so the vet goes easy on us! 🥺

Did you know we offer Cat-Only surgery days?
Patches rather enjoyed the calm as she recovered from her desexing procedure yesterday!
If you want to ensure your puss isn't stressed by the presence of pesky pooches, please chat to our reception team when booking your cat's surgery.

Lucky recovering from anaesthesia with a particularly magnificent case of bed head!
This scruffy delight is only six months old, but looks like a grizzled old sea dog!

23/05/2023

Sonny is a shy little man, so we worked on a solid system of bribery and compliments to help make him feel at ease today.
(Because he IS a handsome man, and he DOES deserve a treat.)

22/05/2023

You may have seen our lovely nurse, Chantelle when attending the clinic. Today is her one year anniversary at Fawkner Vet and we would like to let her know that she can never leave us ever. 🥰
As you can see, Chantelle gives our patients a lot of love (even if they aren't reciprocating quite so enthusiastically).
Thank you for all you do, Chantelle!

When we take your pet out of the consult room for blood tests etc., the vet is usually seeking out one of our nursing team to help... And sometimes we just like to do a little photo shoot while we're at it.
Thanks for your patience!
