Bec the Vet - Mobile Vet Gympie

02/08/2024

Dr Brittany has some exciting news!! She is opening a mobile vet business servicing her home town of Maryborough and surrounding areas. So excited for her and wishing her all the best for her new venture. 🐾

Hello! I'm Dr Brittany, the owner and Veterinarian here at Poppies Mobile Vet. I'm a Maryborough girl born and raised, and here to embark on my next adventure. I graduated with my Bachelor of Veterinary Science in 2019. After working in clinic initially, I've spent the last 2.5 years working in Telemedicine and as a Mobile Vet. I am now looking forward to opening my own mobile vet servicing the Maryborough region. Within the veterinary field, I have a special interest in behaviour and training. In my spare time I enjoy novel writing, reading and sewing, so keep an eye out for my handmade scrub tops and the articles on my website. I look forward to meeting you all and your adorable pets!

WEATHERING THE STORM

If your dog usually lives outside, bring them inside until the storm passes. Inside your home, create a quiet den-like area where your dog can feel secure. When a storm is coming, lead your dog to their special place to help him feel calm and safe and be sure to include their favourite toy or treats.
Please keep them safe this storm season.

IF IT IS TOO HOT FOR YOU IT IS TOO HOT FOR ME!!
Please be mindful when walking your pet on hot surfaces.
The best way to tell if a pavement is too hot for your dog to walk on is to place the back of your hand on the pavement for seven seconds. If it’s too painful for your hand, then it’s too painful for your dog’s paws. 🥵🥵🐾🐾
