Play date and vet visit all rolled into one!

Just 1 month ago, we health checked and vaccinated 8 adorable long-haired dachshund puppies…and today, 5 of them reunited with their new families for their second health check and vaccination 🥹

Now over 1kg heavier, full of personality, zoomies, and puppy mischief, these little sausages are thriving and living their very best lives!

Watching them grow, bond with their new humans, and come back together again was incredibly special.

One beautiful little female puppy (wearing the red collar) is still searching for her forever home. If you’ve been thinking about adding a sausage dog to your family, reach out to us and we’d be happy to put you in touch with the breeder.

Today’s visit included:
- Second health check
-Second vaccination
- Plenty of cuddles and chaos

We honestly can’t get enough of these little faces.

To all the incredible mums out there - human and non-human - we wish you a beautiful Mother’s Day💙

On Thursday, we had the absolute joy of health checking, vaccinating and microchipping TWELVE adorable miniature fox terrier puppies - and let’s just say the cuteness levels were off the charts🥹

It was a beautiful reminder that motherhood comes in many forms, but the love, devotion, and care behind it is always the same.

p.s. If you are looking for a new furry companion in miniature form, two of the puppies, both males, are still available. You can reach out to Fiona (0437173518) for more info.

Today is World Veterinary Day 🐾

There is something profoundly special about the bond between people and their pets - a quiet, unwavering kind of love that asks for nothing, yet gives everything. To be trusted with that bond is something we carry with deep respect, every single day.

Being a veterinarian isn’t just about diagnosing and treating illness. It’s about witnessing a lifetime of moments…
The playful beginnings.
The quiet ageing.
The subtle changes only you notice.
And the moments where love means letting go.

We are there in the joy, but also in the vulnerability, the questions, the uncertainty, and the tears. And in those moments, our role becomes so much more than medicine. It becomes presence, compassion, and support when it matters most.

This profession is a privilege, but it also carries a weight that stays with us - the patients we remember, the families we’ve supported, the lives we’ve been trusted to care for.

At Fetch the Vet, we don’t take that trust lightly. Being invited into your home, into your pet’s world, is something truly special - and something we are endlessly grateful for.

To all the incredible vets, nurses, and animal care teams, your kindness, strength, and dedication make a difference every single day.

And to our amazing clients…thank you for allowing us to walk this journey with you and your pets 💙

“Dear humans,
Please don’t forget to organise our medications before the Easter break.”

Just a friendly reminder that Fetch the Vet will be closed from Good Friday until Tuesday 7th April.

If your fur-kids need any medication refills, please make sure requests are placed before 5PM Thursday so we can get everything ready and delivered to you before the long weekend. You can request meds by visiting https://www.fetchthevet.com.au/prescriptions

Your pets would like to remind you that running out of their medications or snacks is not part of their Easter plans.

Thank you and we hope everyone has a wonderful Easter with their furry family members!

All of my fur kids have been rescues - Bella (16 years old, DSH cat), Woody (17 years old, Kelpie X Lab), Georgie (19 years old, Border Collie X Blue Heeler), and Jilly (16 years old, Wire-Haired Jack Russell).

Each of them came into my life needing a home and love, and honestly, they’ve given me far more than I could ever give them.

Rescue pets have an incredible way of becoming the most loyal, loving companions. They just need someone willing to give them that chance.

If you’re thinking about adding a furry companion to your family, like adorable little "Potato" in the photo, consider reaching out to Goulburn Valley Pet Adoption & Rehoming and Shepparton Animal Rescue & Rehoming. You might just find your next best friend waiting for a forever home.

Adopt. Love. Repeat.

🐕🐈🍂🌡Stiff, Slow or Sore? Arthritis in Pets During Cooler Months

As the nights and mornings get cooler, many dogs and cats with arthritis start to feel stiffer and less comfortable. You might notice signs such as:

• Slower to get up after resting
• Hesitation jumping onto furniture or into the car
• Stiffness after exercise
• Reduced activity or reluctance to go for walks
• Changes in temperament or increased irritability

Arthritis is very common, especially in older pets, but there are great options to help keep them comfortable and mobile. One option we use is SYNOVAN, a joint-support injection that can help:

• Improve joint lubrication
• Reduce inflammation
• Support healthier cartilage

Many pets experience noticeable improvement in their comfort and mobility after a course of Synovan injections (1 injection each week for 4 weeks), and then periodic booster injections to maintain those benefits.

If your pet seems a little stiffer as the colder months arrive, it may time to consider Synovan.

We also offer a range of other joint supplements including 4Cyte and Antinol which can work in conjunction with Synovan.

We are transparent about our pricing and you can find information on this by visiting https://www.fetchthevet.com.au/services-and-pricing. Note: All prices are inclusive of the visit fee. For a Synovan course, this includes the 4 visits.

Want to book your pet in for a Synovan course or booster injection? You can do that at www.fetchthevet.com.au/bookings
