24.01.2022 They seem to always know when food is around, but what's the strangest thing your dog has managed to sniff out. We all know dogs have an incredible sense of smell; but it gets even more amazing. Our WebVets have shared with us that dogs can smell disease. The diseased or cancerous cells secrete different waste products to healthy cells, and the dogs’ nose can detect these tiny differences in smell. Amazing!

23.01.2022 Like humans, guinea pigs cannot produce their own vitamin C. Instead of a glass of OJ, they'll need plenty of leafy greens and a good quality pelleted diet. #WarmingWednesdays

19.01.2022 R U OK Day is a reminder of the importance of looking out for people every day. While our pets can bring us plenty of love and support, there are many going through some rough times. This year, we’re also raising awareness that R UO K? coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day. This day is an annual international awareness day observed on 10 September each year to provide a focus for dedicated action to prevent suicide and is an opportunity to share a message of hope and a...ction in the community. By asking R U OK, it may help someone feel supported and provide access to appropriate help long before they’re in crisis. For more information and to get involved, please head to www.ruok.org.au

I’m so lucky to have been able to experience both." Dr. Ashlinn (Vet Director & Amelia's Mum) - "I love it! [motherhood] It’s better than I had imagined. Everyday there is a new surprise, a new development, an exciting milestone or a new challenge. Dr. Patricia (Emergency & Critical Care Specialist Animal Referral Hospital & Scarlett's Mum plus pregnant with twins.) "I would have to say being a vet is harder.
