ATTENTION!!

As of Monday the 3rd of June 2024, the Benetook Vet Clinic will be introducing a “No Show Fee”.

NO SHOW FEE
As a busy clinic we require at least 24 hours notice for a cancellation to ensure the appointment time can be rescheduled appropriately via our client waiting list.
Therefore, if you do not show up for your appointment, call to cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours before your appointment you will incur a “no show fee” of $40. The fee will need to be paid prior to making another appointment.

What does this mean - In order to avoid a “no show fee”, if you are unable to attend your appointment, please call the clinic on 5022 2455 at least 24 hours prior, to cancel or reschedule. Noting that text message and email are not adequate ways of notifying us of a cancellation.

We hope that you can respectfully understand the need for this new policy and fee.

Over the weekend the BVC crew teamed up with RSPCA Mildura for the “Mildura RSPCA Desexing Program 2.0”!

The crew were able to desex a whopping 46 cats for the weekend!

BVC would like to thank all the staff and Hayley from Mildura RSPCA for making this possible! Special mention to chef Leesa for the bbq lunch spread - thank you!

It took 18 years for Margie to finally quit her dream job working in a ‘mixed clinic’. But it wasn’t the animals that pushed her over the edge, it was the people. https://mamamia.au/3VLPUGy

Veterinarians are four times more likely to die by su***de than the general population. We want to reverse this trend.

The warmer weather seems to have finally set in! ☀️
With many of us heading to our favourite water spot - be it the river, beach or a pool! Our furry friends love to join us on these fun adventures, but we ask that you do remember a stick is not a safe fetching option for your pet as it can cause injury to the dogs mouth, cause infection from splinters and can also become life treating if ingested! Hit up your local pet shop to seek a safer alternative! Also keep in mind when swimming in your pool that all gates are closed as dogs/puppies big or small can fall in or jump in and be unable to get out without your knowledge. They can only swim for so long before becoming exhausted which can be life treating.
Let every person and pet play it safe by the water this summer! 🏊‍♀️ 🏖️ 🚤 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🐶
