It’s Vet Nurse Appreciation Week so today we had a delicious lunch from Beach House Cafe Kaikoura to celebrate 🎉

Most clinics have a team of vet nurses… we have Annalise; a true nursing superhero 🦸‍♀️
Vet nursing isn’t easy, It isn’t glamorous, but a good nurse makes all the difference in the world to the animal patients and to the vets!

Annalise is a qualified vet nurse, she’s dedicated and skilful. She arrives first every day to clean, walk dogs, medicate and care for animals and set up for the day.
All day long she runs around pre-empting what vets will need, caring for patients, keeping track of stock orders, cleaning, washing, sterilising, running bloods, X-rays… the list goes on with dozens of other tasks needed to keep the clinic running smoothly. She cares deeply for the patients and makes sure they get cuddles, walks in the sunshine, hotties, treats and comfort.

We also thank Cherie who also has incredible nursing skills; she is 100% dedicated and can always be relied on to help with big surgeries, after-hours nursing, anaesthetics, and everything else behind the scenes. We rely heavily on Cherie especially when things get stressful, she keeps me calm, and generally keeps things running 💕

Its the people around you make all the difference to this job; if you can have a laugh and know someone has your back even the most stressful or tedious jobs can be fun. I feel blessed to have my team and the animals of Kaikoura are certainly lucky that we have these superstars ⭐️ thank you 🙏🏼

💗💗UPDATE - Benny has found a new home. Thank you all so much for spreading the word and helping him out 🥰🥰

We are still trying to find a home for wee Benny
🤞🤞
He’s about 4 years old, castrated and in good health.
He will require good fences and some obedience training
He’s great with other dogs and very friendly, but has strong terrier instincts to chase and his hearing can be quite selective !
He’d make a lovely companion and we’re really hoping to find a loving home for him.
Spread the word please 🙏🏼 🥰

12/09/2023

This is Benny
Benny is naughty, Benny can not be trusted with small creatures or left alone without good fences.
But Benny is also very cute, playful, healthy and loving.
If you think your family could give Benny a forever home get in touch with us
🐶 💕 🤞
