EASTER ALERT!!
Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!! 🐣

Our Vets and Spud want to remind everyone to keep their Chocolate and Hot Cross buns locked up from our furry friends.

We will be closed from Friday to Monday so if Chocolate or Hot Cross buns are eaten, please call our clinic number 5232 1792 to be put through to our after hours Vet.
So they don’t end up like poor Cleo who decided that Hot Cross Buns aren’t very tasty the second time around 🐇

As previously introduced on our story, Josie is a gorgeous 12 week old pup who is the latest edition to one of our wonderful farming clients.

You wouldn’t tell from here, but last Friday Josie was bitten by a snake and needed emergency treatment 🐍 Josie was brought straight in and Penny treated her immediately.

Josie showed a full recovery in a very short amount of time, and is going fantastically. She sure is one lucky pup 🙏

If you happen to remember last weeks weather - it was wintery, cold and rainy - not very “snakey” at all. So please be aware that snakes are out and about! Be careful, and contact us immediately if you have any suspicion, remember we provide a 24/7 service 🩺

🩺 HAPPY WORLD VET NURSE DAY to our wonderful nurses!

These girls run purely on the fumes of caffeine most days and without them we would barely be able to function!

Rhondy, Jen and Casey are an extension of us and we are grateful to have such fantastic nurses who read our minds and act like an extra hand of ours a lot of the time. Along with our other lovely Rhonda on reception, Deb at our Winchelsea clinic and our after school girls Chiarra and Jewel - we appreciate everything you all do for us!

💫 PUPPIES!! 💫

This gorgeous litter of sleepy Cocker Spaniel puppies were in our clinic for their first vaccination, microchip and vet check 😍

This first visit to the vets is extremely important in a pups life, where they can be examined head to toe to ensure they are fit and healthy to go to their new forever homes.

Vaccinations are an integral part of ensuring the health and wellbeing of your puppy, and continue to be throughout their life. After their initial 2-3 injection series as puppies, dogs require a booster shot every year. So check your vaccinations are up to date today!

This is a service we provide at both our Colac and Winchelsea clinics, call to book an appointment today 😊
