On this World Veterinary Day, we express our gratitude to our dedicated veterinarians for their unwavering commitment and hard work.

Today we celebrate our amazing vets and thank them for all that they do!

Their compassion, kindness and hard work go into every patient they see. The role is not easy - at times can be physically and emotionally draining and often demanding many unseen hours.

Happy World Veterinary Day!

📣 Fireworks tonight at Lake Wendouree!

Don't forget there are fireworks scheduled for tonight at Lake Wendouree, the 15 minute display is set to start at 9.30pm.

Fireworks are likely to be unsettling for many of our pets around Lake Wendouree and the surrounding area. Bring your pets indoors if possible and if your pet is outside make sure the yard/paddock is secure and free from anything they can become entangled in.

It is also a good reminder to make sure that your pet’s microchip details are up to date in case there are any escapees!
