🎃 Halloween can be scary for our pets too! The door knocking & doorbell ringing can cause ...heightened anxiety in our pets.
Here are some ways to reduce that;
• Create a safe space - a quiet cozy room for your pet to camp out in for a few hours away from the door
• Put a sign outside asking trick-or-treaters to knock instead of ringing the doorbell, or leave a bowel outside for people to help themselves!
• Keep them busy - offer some enrichment (e.g. frozen stuffed kong or lick mat) to make their mind off it

Caught your pet raiding your Halloween stash?
Don’t wait for symptoms to appear, contact us ...immediately!
These delicious little treats can pose some big risks to our fur-babies;
🍫 Chocolate is toxic & can cause serious illness!
🍬 Wrappers can be a chocking hazard or cause intestinal blockages
🍭 Some sugar free lollies can contain xylitol which is extremely toxic to dogs
We’re open until 1pm on Saturday and closed Sunday, so if you have any concerns after hours please call a 24hr emergency hospital (AREC in Broadmeadow or SASH in the Central Coast)

🐾❤️ HAPPY VET NURSE DAY! ❤️🐾
Today we celebrate the nurses who give so much ...of themselves to the patients who can’t say thank you.
We are not “just” nurses. We are an essential part of every veterinary team, and the care we provide matters 🧡
We monitor anaesthetics, calculate drug doses, place IV catheters, run diagnostics, assist in surgery, nurse critically ill patients, comfort frightened animals, support worried owners, clean up the messes, and somehow keep everything moving behind the scenes (we’re basically superheroes in scrubs)
We celebrate the wins, grieve the losses, advocate for patients who cannot speak for themselves, and pour our hearts into animals who may only know us for a moment of their lives.
And yet, veterinary nursing is still so often undervalued and misunderstood. Our knowledge, skills, compassion and hard work deserve to be recognised - not just today, but every single day.
To every vet nurse who shows up, even on the hard days, who goes above and beyond for their patients, and who continues to care even when they’re running on empty - we see you. We appreciate you. And we are so proud to be part of this profession alongside you 🧡🩺
Happy Vet Nurse Day to the incredible nurses who make a difference every single day. You deserve so much more recognition than you receive 🐾❤️
