Today was such a special day! Our amazing vet Megan (and her adorable dog PJ!) visited the junior and senior infants at Ardfield NS to teach them all about caring for animals. The children loved learning how to be kind and gentle with pets, and of course, meeting their furry guest was the highlight!

From listening to heartbeats to learning what vets do to keep animals healthy — it was a pawsome experience full of smiles, cuddles, and curiosity.

A huge thank you to Megan and for inspiring the next generation of animal lovers!

A huge congratulations to our wonderful nurse Inez who recently achieved her Certificate in Surgical Nursing through Improve International and ISVPS. 🎉

Inez undertook 8 months of additional study in the areas of anesthesia, analgesia, imaging, soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery, surgical complications and wound management. 💉

Continuing education is a massive part of our careers as veterinary professionals and we are so proud of our staff who sacrifice their time outside of work to better the lives of our patients with the newest and most up to date knowledge and research. 📖

Lifelong learning at its best! 🤓

Look at who came for a visit today to our Bandon branch. Beautiful Lily. This spooky girl receives a once a month injection, called Librela, for the treatment of arthritis. Librela is a simple way to manage joint pain in older pets, and is administered once a month by the veterinary team.
Happy Halloween 🎃👻

Look who is on the move again! 💙

Six weeks ago Bora’s life changed forever when he was hit by a car, sustaining life threatening injuries. A broken spine left him paralyzed in his back legs and in severe pain. Knowing it was likely he would never walk again, but wanting to give him whatever chance they could, his owners rushed him from Faxbridge to who performed spinal surgery to stabilize the fracture. With their exceptional care, Bora was able to come home to his owners.

Since then he has been undergoing intensive physiotherapy to give him the best possible chance at recovery. Bora has been through so much, and he just takes it all like an absolute champion. One of his favourite things now is seeing Claire at who has been super in collaborating on his care. His hydrotherapy sessions are a key part of his recovery!💧

Bora’s owners NEVER gave up on him and his team of veterinary professionals have been with him every step of the way. We are incredibly proud of the strides he has made and today we got a little teary seeing him bounding up to his owners, testing out his new ride from 🛞 His wheelchair will give him his independence back and we hope to see him spinning around the beaches of West Cork soon. 💙

Bora’s story serves as a reminder of the incredible strength of the bond between people and their pets and the resilience of animals. And wow, we are absolutely honoured to bear witness to that at Faxbridge.

Corky and Toon stopped by to brighten up the brightest of Fridays ☀️

They have pretty big boots to fill after their family said goodbye to their much adored dog last year. We’ve got a feeling these two will help heal some broken hearts!

We really do feel so lucky to be able to care for generations of family pets. Looking forward to watching these two grow and seeing if their noses stay this adorable forever 🥹

When time allows we try to all get together for a bit of fun! As if we don’t already spend enough time together… 🙈

Today, we had the best morning with the team (plus littles!) at the incredible ☀️

A stunning day to walk these gorgeous creatures down to the beach for a little dip. 🌊

We finished our morning with coffee and cake, so overall a pretty successful Sunday!

A happier nurse there has never been! 😻

Inez was absolutely delighted to see her all time favourite patient this week, and it seemed like the feeling was mutual… 🐾

The last time Spot was with us she had an extended stay and Inez cried (yes, cried) when she left!

We had some lovely, feel good moments this week but this was number one 💕
