🐾💚 Happy Veterinary Nurse Day! 💚🐾
This week we’re celebrating the absolute backbone of our clinic our incredible nursing and support team who keep everything running smoothly (and everyone sane!).

✨ Kaitlyn – Our senior nurse with over 10 years of experience, a calm head in chaos, and the one who somehow manages to remember every patient, every medication, and where the good scissors are. Her compassion, skill and dedication make her an irreplaceable part of our AAA Vet family.

💫 Sandra – Our multitasking lady. With 25 years in the industry, she’s our Practice Manager and even helps wrangle the nurse side of things when needed! She always does everything humour and heart & we would be lost without her.

To Kaitlyn, Sandra, and all vet nurses everywhere thank you for the care, love, laughter, and long hours you give every single day. 💚🐶🐱🐴

🐾 Receptionist Wanted – Join Our AAA Vet Family!
Start: ASAP | Hours: Full-time preferred (but we can chat about part-time!)

We’re on the lookout for a cheerful, organised and animal-loving receptionist to be the friendly face at the front of our clinic. If you’re someone who can juggle phone calls, bookings and belly rubs (for pets, not people… usually), we’d love to hear from you!

This role is all about being the heart of our front desk; welcoming clients, booking appointments, handling payments, answering the phone, helping with medications, and keeping things running smoothly. We also need someone who’s happy to lend a hand keeping the clinic looking clean, calm and professional (even when there’s a cattle dog doing zoomies in the waiting room).

We’re a small, busy team and we need someone we can rely on, someone dependable, who shows up on time, pulls their weight, and takes pride in being a trusted part of the crew. You don’t need vet clinic experience, but some background in admin or customer service will definitely help. Mostly, we’re after someone who’s kind, confident, great with people, and happy to pitch in wherever needed. A love of pets is essential, and a good sense of humour goes a long way, too.

In return, you’ll get to work with a team that’s passionate, down-to-earth, and genuinely cares about what we do. You’ll be supported, appreciated, and part of a workplace that values community, compassion and a good laugh on a busy day.

If this sounds like your kind of place, send your cover letter & resume to [email protected] and we will be in touch if you’re successful for an interview.

‼️Spike in Parvo‼️

Over the last few weeks we have seen an increase in Parvo cases. This is a preventable virus that can be avoided by getting your puppy/ dog vaccinated. Remember one vaccination will not cover your dog against Parvo they need a course of 4 depending on their age!

We also understand that it is very hard to get an appointment at the moment however there are things you can do for your puppy to lessen their risk of Parvo.

These include:
🐾 Do not take your puppy out of your house. This means no socialising with other dogs, no walks or visits anywhere.
🐾 Keep your puppy inside. Put them in a laundry or concreted area that can be cleaned regularly and is away from other dogs.
🐾 Keep them off grass- Parvo is everywhere but lives in the dirt
🐾Keep shoes especially muddy ones outside or away from your puppy

Along with doing these things for your puppy to lessen their risk of Parvo remember to worm them every two weeks until 12 weeks and then every 3 months and ensure they are on a good quality puppy food.
