Everyone send some love to Dusty — our tiniest, wiggliest Star of the Week! 🐶💜
Dusty came in for his vaccination and a little observation stay, and he handled it like an absolute champ. His tail didn’t stop wagging the entire time, and he happily accepted every cuddle the team snuck in (we won’t lie… we absolutely loved them!).
A huge thank-you to his family for trusting us with his care. It was a joy to care for your brave boy. 🐾

This week we’re celebrating Jynx, a lovely girl who has been on such a heart-warming journey with us.
When Jynx first started visiting, she was quite nervous about coming into the clinic. But thanks to her dedicated family bringing her in for lots of happy, low-pressure visits, she’s slowly gaining confidence and showing more of her sweet personality each time. Watching her come out of her shell has been such a joy for our team.
Jynx also has a sensitive tummy, and her owners have worked closely with us to find food that keeps her comfortable and tastes delicious — and we’re thrilled to say we’ve found a great match!
We’re so proud of Jynx for her bravery and progress, and proud of her amazing humans for their patience, consistency, and care.
✨ Keep up the great work, Jynx — you’re doing wonderfully!

Meet our very first Star of the Week… Koda! ✨
Koda came to us this week, not just for his routine vaccinations, but also because of a slight mishap... he got stung! 🐝😳 Poor Koda ended up with a swollen face! But through it all, he showed just how brave he is.
We also want to give a huge shoutout to his owner, who reacted quickly. By bringing Koda in right away, he got the care he needed 👏
Koda has officially earned the title of Pet of the Week, and we couldn’t be more excited that he’s our very first star in this new series. His courage (and his owner’s quick thinking!) remind us why we love what we do at Petfirst Veterinary 💛
Stay tuned for next week's Pet of the Week… who knows who will be our next shining star? ⭐🐾

On-farm, getting in front of issues before they arise is always a better - and cheaper - way of doing business. Taking a look at key data points is a great place to start. This month, we look at the secrets hiding in your milk protein percentages, find and address phantom cows early and discuss young stock drenching that is sustainable for your herd and your system.

Meet the gorgeous Mia!
Mia visited us recently for a dental scale and polish and just look at that glow-up – from tartar build-up, to a sparkling white smile.
Dental care doesn’t stop at the clinic though. To keep her teeth shining bright and her breath fresh, Mia is heading home with our recommended product, Plaque Off.
At Petfirst, we believe happy teeth = a happy life for our fur friends. With August and September being our dental focus months, it’s the perfect time to book your pet’s FREE nurse dental consult.
Our nurse team will create a personalised dental care plan for your fur family and share their best tips and tricks for keeping those pearly whites healthy.
Book today and give your pet every reason to smile.
