We are so lucky to have the opportunity to work with such a variety of species both small and large…
Our vets are able to get such great experience, in turn having the knowledge and experience to offer the best veterinary care to many species within the wheatbelt.

This is Pedro the Possum.🌿

This sweet little guy came for an emergency visit with us when a concerned citizen found him injured in a fire.
When he came to us, he had some horrible burns to his feet, tail, nose and was quite dehydrated.
We managed to give him some first aid care in the interim followed by a visit down to WA Wildlife for ongoing treatment and rehabilitation.

We are happy to say that Pedro has made great progress with his recovery and is well on his way to being released.

We are so appreciative for the continuing support and care from WA Wildlife for all of the Wheatbelt's Fury friends. 🌿🩺🦅

It is with heavy hearts that we are saying goodbye to one of our amazing Vets.

Dr Anney has been with us since she was a newly graduated vet in 2020.
She has bought so much knowledge, kindness and compassion to our patients and clients as well as being an absolute light within the clinic for all staff.

We are wishing Dr Anney the best of luck on her new adventures furthering her career and experience in the US!

You have done so much for the community and will be missed dearly.

SAFE TRAVELS DR ANNEY!

When an abandoned lamb required a foster family, the Heartlands team was more then willing to step up to the plate! This ewe lamb (named Bunny🐰) was spoilt rotten over the weekend by Animal attendant/ receptionist Bree, and got the best cuddles from future veterinary professional Liv!
Bunny has since found her forever home and is settling in like a champ ⚡️

Last weekend the Heartlands Veterinary Outreach Program carried out it’s 7th outreach desexing clinic! Since starting the bimonthly desexing clinics in November 2023 the program has:

- Neutered 67 male cats, 46 female cats, 10 female dogs and 6 male dogs.
- Microchipped 90 animals
- Vaccinated 90 animals
- Administered parasite prevention for > 100 animals.

By offering these services to those experiencing significant vulnerability many great outcomes have been achieved, including:
- Many unwanted litters of cats and dogs have been prevented
- Increased herd immunity for the cats and dogs of the Wheatbelt region, protecting everyone’s pets from deadly infectious diseases
- Educated and provided hands on surgical training for veterinary students
- Preventing zoonotic diseases; many parasites carried by cats and dogs can infect people too! Lowering parasite burdens in animals lowers parasite exposure to the people around them

The outreach program is run by 100% volunteers and over the 7 desexing clinics and 5 vaccination clinics, the HVOP team has donated over 850 hours of professional veterinary services!

In total the value of these donated services are supplies are equal to over $50,000 🙌

The program would not be possible without the countless hours of hard work from the volunteer Spay it forward Program and SAFE AVon Valley who work tirelessly to help people and their pets in the Wheatbelt community. Share and Care Northam have also done a wonderful job connecting people to the available resources.

Can you tell that our Admin Queens Cilla and Joni were enjoying this emergency puppy cuddle interruption?

Admin Manager Cilla and Admin Assistant Joni do an amazing job ensuring the Heartlands team is functioning smoothly and taking care of the ‘invisible’ administration work tasks. While usually safely tucked away in the admin office, they never hesitate to jump in to help our vet team when needed; whether it be comforting an anxious patient after an anaesthetic, assisting with critical care of neonate puppies during an emergency c-section or brewing a pot of tea when the team has had a big and emotional day. 🥰

Sometimes it’s important to stop and steal some puppy cuddles, even on a busy day!
