We are in for a weekend of hot weather!
Dr Clara Lauinger from Peninsula Vet Emergency & Referral Hospital explains the importance of keeping a close eye on your pets in the heat, avoid exercising them and ensure they have access to a cool area, which may mean bringing them inside on hot or humid days.
Today is Vet Nurse Day! ❤️
Please join us in celebrating our deserving nurses and their significant role in veterinary medicine.

Last week, Peninsula Vet Care hosted RUOK? Day morning teas across our five clinics and Emergency & Referral Hospital. While this day only happens once a year, we thought we would re-share our reel again today. It’s a great reminder to check in, be kind to one another, and ask, “Are you okay?”
🎂 Hip, hip, hooray! This month, we are excited to be recognising our 44th birthday.
As an 80s baby, we opened the doors to our first animal hospital in Dromana on June 30, 1980.
We still have our iconic Dromana clinic and, today, clinics in Rye, Rosebud, Mornington, and Mount Eliza. Our family also includes our 24/7 Emergency and Referral Hospital in Mornington.
We are proud to have grown our services hand in hand with the community we are part of, serving all the much-loved pets whose families choose to trust us with their best mate's preventative healthcare, emergency care and specialist services.
A shout-out to the staff, clients, pets, families, referral clinics, local businesses and suppliers who continue to support each of our hospitals.
Happy birthday, Peninsula Vet Care. Here's to many more years of happy, healthy lives.

Peninsula Vet proudly honours our veterinary community in recognition of World Veterinary Day, serving as a valuable reminder that they are essential health workers.
This week, we celebrated across our five vet clinics and our emergency and referral hospital with yummy grazing platters, hot dogs, and kit-kats!
Our video represents our team of nearly 60 veterinarians, picturing but a handful of our long-standing, senior, and recently graduated vets.
The 2024 World Veterinary Day theme is 'Veterinarians are essential health workers'.
In the WVA's words, "Veterinarian competencies must be regarded as an essential and integral part of health at large. The application of veterinary science contributes to animal health and well-being and human physical, mental, and social well-being.
This dimension of veterinarians' work often remains invisible to society, but protecting and improving the health of people and their communities is an essential part of the vet profession.
All graduated veterinarians have undergone comprehensive medical training, and regardless of their professional area of practice, are responsible for promoting public health, food safety, and security."
What is your vet's name? Please feel free to give them a shout-out in the comments section.

Kicking off Veterinary Receptionist Week with a huge THANK YOU to our receptionists.
You are the key players on the team – working on the frontlines and caring for our clients. You do it all with respect and compassion. You are both the first and the last face our clients and patients see.
Pictured here are a few smiling faces that greet you and your pets when you visit us. We employ talented, dedicated reception staff so our nurses can spend more time with patients.
Happy Veterinary Receptionist Week, we would go to pieces without you.
Did you know? Peninsula Vet Care is a placement hospital for students pursuing a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine to become a veterinarian.
During their final year at the University of Melbourne, veterinary students complete one of their core rotations with us. They spend two weeks gaining professional experience working under the supervision of our veterinary teams.
The placement involves one week within one of our five vet clinics and one week in either our specialist practice or our emergency and critical care service, depending on the student's interests.
We see around 150 students through our hospitals each year. That is eight students each week!
The program has been running since 2022, and we are proud to continue to play a practical part in their training and education in a real clinical environment.
A big shout out to our staff—it takes a high-quality and invested team of professionals to function smoothly as a teaching hospital. In addition to doing their jobs, they are teachers, mentors, and role models for the Vets of our future.
Many of our vets, nurses, managers, and support staff turned out last month to support the My Mount Eliza Run & Fun Festival and participate in the run or the all-paws walk with their pets.
We were at the finish line to give away dog treats and medals to all the four-legged participants. We are delighted to report that our pet first aid service saw no injured or unwell patients, but it was great to have them on standby on the day.
Thanks to everyone and their pets who stopped by our marquee to say hello. Congratulations to Geoff and all involved on another successful day.
