15.02.2022 COVID Update - January 5th Starting tomorrow we have made the decision to return to contactless consulting. We are a small team and need to do the best we can to mitigate the possibility of the clinic having to shut down due to isolation of staff. With the rapidly increasing cases in the Greater Geelong Region we feel we must take these measures to be able to stay open and help your pets. We will update changes to hours or staffing if they arise. ... For now, please call us when you arrive at the Clinic and we will come out and get your pet. Thanks for the patience and understanding in what has been a very difficult two years for everybody. We will continue to do the best we can to help your pets! See more

25.01.2022 Let's celebrate 18 days straight of being Covid-free: send us pictures of what your pets got up to back in iso! Thanks to everyone in Victoria for playing their part and getting the numbers down

25.01.2022 We realise that many of you have been waiting anxiously outside as we examine your pets indoors due to COVID restrictions. We thank you for your cooperation and patience as we navigate through this difficult time. We are working hard to continue to provide the same high level of care for your pets while keeping everyone as safe as possible. Here is a photo of Perry during his annual health check and vaccination away from his owners today. He was a model patient!

23.01.2022 A big thank you to all of our amazing Vet Nurses! They definitely deserve a day in their honour with all the hard work and care they put in!

18.01.2022 **CONTENT WARNING: SURGICAL IMAGES** Meet Ronald! This handsome ginger lad was very unwell a couple weeks ago. We took him to surgery and discovered that a blood clot had devitalised a large portion of his intestine. We had to remove the affected segment and 're-plumb' his gastrointestinal tract back together. ... He is currently making a good recovery at home with his furparents and feline sibling Luna. Keep up the good work Ron!

16.01.2022 As of tomorrow we are unfortunately returning to no contact consulting. We will maintain this model until all of our staff have been double vaccinated and we feel confident we will not be shut down as a Tier 1 Exposure site if a positive case enters the clinic. The criteria used to define a Tier 1 Exposure site is to be within 1.5m of a positive case and for more than 15 minutes. This criteria, for all practical purposes, is every consult we do! ... Each business is responsible to assess risk & provide a safe workplace for staff. As mentioned above not all our staff are fully vaccinated yet. With Covid virus circulating in the community in increasing numbers we need take a conservative approach and assume all clients are potentially carrying the virus. Our overwhelming aim is to remain safe, open & able to provide care for your pets. We promise you’re pets actually don't mind. If they are anxious we work out a plan with you. They all still get treats, pats & lots of love when they come in! We'll get back to "normal" as quickly as we can - please be kind - we're all in this together.

14.01.2022 We were charmed by Frankie the Boston terrier today and couldn’t decide which photo was best, so here’s some Frankie spam!

11.01.2022 If you’ve ever had a pet with an ear infection, you may wonder why we always do a swab before commencing treatment. Many ear infections are fungal or bacterial, but occasionally you find these little beauties: ear mites! Getting rid of these parasites requires more than just antimicrobials. Just watching them wiggle is enough to make your skin crawl... imagine having an ear full of them!

08.01.2022 NEW COVID 19 UPDATE Unfortunately we are going to have to re-introduce some COVID-19 guidelines due to the current outbreak in Victoria. The purpose of this post is to reassure you that we are still open for business and have multiple contingency plans to deal with the rapidly evolving situation. As a family owned business, it is paramount that we are able to stay open both to help with your pets and to keep our staff employed. ... Thus, we will be taking further measures to try and control the spread of COVID-19 within both of our clinics. Starting Thursday (July 9th) we will once again implement the following: 1. Our clinics will once again split into two completely separate teams in the hope that we can maintain services in the face of a staff member becoming infected with COVID 19. Drs Bryan & Chloe will be working from Moriac Veterinary Clinic, whilst Drs Nev, Julia, Lissa and Robyn will be at North Geelong. 2. We will be returning to curb-side consulting. This means no clients will be allowed in the clinic. All communication will be done over the phone or outside. 3. The front door at both clinics will remained locked at all times. When you arrive for your appointment please call the front desk and let us know you are here. A staff member will come and speak to you and collect your pet. 4. Please do not come to the clinic if you have been overseas, have been in contact with a known COVID-19 case or have been feeling ill. If it is an emergency we will of course see your pet, but please let us know you are unwell as the appropriate PPE must be worn. 5. If you are in need of medication refills please call the clinic and we will be able to arrange to have these medications ready for you. We will ask that you pay for the medications over the phone. We will be limiting our transactions to card, with no cash being accepted. Please understand that these changes are meant to protect both clients coming into the clinic and our staff. We have lots of clients that are in a high-risk age group and we are very concerned about protecting them. Please follow the above guidelines and we will do our best to take care of your pets!

06.01.2022 A very common question we hear is Can my dog eat bones? We feel that while there are some benefits from bones in helping keep the teeth clean, the risk of tooth fracture outweighs these benefits. This is Boss, a two year old Border Collie. A quick look and the tooth does not look that bad, but upon closer inspection it was noted it had fractured at the gum line! Dental X-Rays showed all three roots still present. Leaving these roots in can lead to a tooth root abscess. All three roots were removed and the gums stitched closed. Dental chews can provide greater health benefits to teeth with none of the risk of tooth fracture.

05.01.2022 Hi everybody, this handsome fellow has been turned into us after flying into someone’s house here in Hamlyn Heights: We are sure someone is missing him!

02.01.2022 Our first three patients to take advantage of desexing month: Leah, Hank and Olive!

01.01.2022 Meet Frankie, Sophie and Luna! Can anyone guess their breeds? Hint: two are crossbreeds!

29.12.2021 Happy Veterinary Nurses' Day to our wonderful team of nurses! We can't thank you enough for all that you do

20.12.2021 What lies beneath! It is estimated that 60% of the symptoms of periodontal disease are hidden under the gum line. Dental X-rays are the only way to reliable identify these issues. The two teeth circled below appear relatively normal upon visual inspection. But once an X-ray was taken a large amount of horizontal bone loss was noted. The thin yellow line shows were the normal bone level should be. These two teeth now have bone loss that exceeds 50% and need to be extracted.... Dont let Dental Month pass you by!
