25.01.2022 Don't let those nervous eyes fool you! Titan was full of love and kisses! He came to visit today for some xrays and was on his best behaviour all day!

18.01.2022 PET OF THE DAY: Lilly! Lilly had a lump removed 3 days ago and needed a drain put in. She came back today for a bandage change and is very happy with her new snowman dressing

18.01.2022 PET OF THE DAY: Coco! Coco is an Alexandrine who came in today for a nail trim and a slight wing clip. Coco was very lovable and well behaved, and loved to sit on our shoulder

15.01.2022 A thought for your Thursday.... Everybody, this is Cera. Her mum named her after a dinosaur, the Tri-CERA-tops. Like the triceratops, Cera is quite hard headed and likes to get her own way. Unlike the triceratops, which was a herbivore, Cera (being a cat) is an obligate carnivore. ... Obligate carnivores rely on the nutrients found in meat-based diets to not just survive, but to thrive. The three main nutrients being high levels of protein, carbohydrates and Taurine, an essential amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks for protein and protein is required for the body to grow and repair tissue. Taurine occurs exclusively in meat and fish but can not be synthesized (created) by the cat. This means taurine must be acquired from the diet. A meat based diet. Taurine is critical for healthy eyes, brain, nerve function and immune response. Insufficient levels of Taurine can cause heart and kidney disease. Dont stress though! So long as you are feeding a good quality cat food, and at the correct amount, your fluffy little dinosaur will be receiving sufficient levels of protein, carbohydrates and super importantly, taurine. Fun fact: Taurine can be synthesized (created) by humans and dogs. Cats really are peculiar creatures

12.01.2022 The fledglings are still about! This little Tawny Frogmouth was found today being attacked by other birds. Thankfully, with a bit of care and some rehabilitation, this little one will be able to be released back into the wild!

10.01.2022 Puppy love! Today, we met the lovely Miss Harper and her 5 babies. After many cuddles, Mum and pups were given a clean bill of health! We can't wait to watch these cuties grow - see you all again in a few weeks for first vaccines and microchips! Edit: Please note - we do not have anything to do with the sales/rehoming of pups! :)

07.01.2022 PET OF THE DAY: Quinton! Quinton came in to treat his hot spots and proved what a giant softie he is! He let us clip the affected area and lapped up ALL the attention during his visit

07.01.2022 Meet the marvelous Mario! This cutie came in today for desexing and microchip. Being a 'Best for Pet' member, Mario's microchip is FREE! His owner also received 10% off his surgery. We'll see Mario back soon for his free post-op check. Aren't we so lucky?!

05.01.2022 Who said visiting the vet for vaccinations was scary? Almost 11wk old Frankie isn’t bothered by a few little injections. And his mum can rest easy knowing his vaccinations and microchip was covered today by his Best for Pet membership

05.01.2022 WILDLIFE WEDNESDAY: Did you know a baby echidna is called a puggle? After the young hatch, echidna mothers carry them around for up to two months, until they start to develop spines. Then, the mothers keep the offspring in a burrow and return to feed them every three to six days. It can be difficult to determine the sex of an echidna, which is why if an adult echidna is not injured, it is important it is left alone or returned exactly to where they were found.

04.01.2022 ANOTHER PARALYSIS TICK CASE TODAY This is a scary reminder that these critters are still about! Is your tick prevention up to date??
