Did you know that your pet picks up fleas from the environment? Only rarely do fleas jump from one pet to another. Immature fleas wait in the carpet, dirt and doormats for a pet to walk by and jump onto them where they stay and feed on them. Fleas are a top cause for allergies and itchiness in pets, so it is important to keep pets up to date with all year round flea protection.

Welcome back to Nicole & to the team Portia!

Nicole started with Yass Valley Veterinary in 2021, prior to this. She worked at the Young Veterinary Hospital. Nicole works with us part-time, spending her days off running a cattle stud with her husband, just out of town. Nicole has a wealth of knowledge, with an interest in all animals and an eagerness to do her best for their health. This makes her well-suited to the diverse cases we see at YVV. We are glad to have Nicole back following some time off to expand her family.

Portia has joined our Vet nurse team recently. Portia graduated from Charles Sturt University with a Bachelor of Veterinary Technology in 2023. Portia comes to us from Kooringal & Jindera Veterinary hospitals near Albury after relocating to Yass. Portia has a keen interest in working with animals, visiting a vet hospital on work experience back in 2014. Thank you, Portia, for sharing your skills within our team, and caring for patients big and small!

*Our vet nurse Portia is pictured with a patient named 'Portia' while in hospital recently, whose owners have reported that ‘Portia’ (the patient, not our wonderful nurse), had an amazing recovery and is back to being a puppy again (even though she is 13 this year). Thank you to Yass Valley Veterinary team for their great care of our little girl."🥰

We look forward to introducing our new graduate to you next week.

Do you have a new puppy? Would you be interested in a puppy preschool class?

Puppy preschool is ideal for young pups under the age of 16weeks. Ideally, puppies would be 8 - 14 weeks old for the first class, which provides socialisation and basic puppy training in a safe environment.

We are running a puppy preschool again this Feb, classes to be held on a Monday evening from 6.30pm at our Yass location.

If you have a puppy and are interested in attending, please register your interest in a Puppy Preschool class by emailing us at [email protected]

Please include any questions along with the breed and age of your puppy.

Welcome aboard, Dr Jemima Milton & Dr Johanna McAuliffe, who have recently joined our vet team.

Dr Jemima has availability two days a week & has joined our on-call roster for afterhours emergencies. Jemima is from the Central West of NSW and completed her degree at Charles Sturt University in Wagga in 2021. Jemima began her veterinary career working in a rural practice in North West NSW and is employed at Kippax Veterinary Hospital along with our Yass Valley Veterinary team.

Dr Johanna grew up in Yass on her family’s farm prior to completing her degree at Charles Sturt University in Wagga in 2022. Johanna started her veterinary career in a mixed practice similar to ours with a small & large animal focus on the border of Victoria. Although, we note that we have a lot less dairy cattle here in the Yass Valley for her to assess 🐄. Before joining our team, Johanna took some time travelling overseas to walk the Pacific Crest Trail in the USA (4,265 kilometres). Johanna will have availability two to three days a week & also joins our on-call roster for afterhours emergencies.

We are very fortunate to have Johanna & Jemima join our vet team, and we look forward to you, your pets & livestock meeting our new team members.

Watch this space as next week we welcome back a vet, introduce a new vet nurse & our graduate vet. 🫶

Summer is in full force, and it is hot out there! 🚗🌡️🔥😓

Heat exhaustion in pets can be an extremely emergent situation. We hear tragic stories about pets being left in poorly ventilated vehicles far too frequently. Your dog can also get overheated, being left in a yard too long with inadequate shade. ☀️🔥

In the event you suspect heat exhaustion in your pet, immediately find a cooler, shady place. Pour cool (not cold) water over your dog’s head and body, and contact us 6226 4444 ASAP!

As always, please reach out if you have any questions!
