We recently celebrated and acknowledged Tiffany on achieving 5 years of dedicated service as part of our Veterinary Nursing team.

Throughout her time with us, Tiffany has consistently demonstrated a commitment to patient care and client support. Her creativity and ability to think beyond conventional approaches have enriched our practice, ensuring that challenges are met with innovative solutions. Tiffanyโ€™s professionalism and diligence in fulfilling her responsibilities reflect her strong work ethic and her determination to uphold the highest standards of care.

We are appreciative of her contributions to our hospital and the positive impact she has made on both our patients, clients and our team. Thanks Tiffany!

Letting surgical wounds heal on our furry friends can be tricky - those classic plastic cones (Elizabethan or Buster collars) aren't always the most comfortable option. Luckily, there are better ways to keep your pet safe while they heal!

Weโ€™re thrilled to announce that our clinic has once again been reaccredited under the ASAVA Hospital of Excellence Accreditation Scheme.
This accreditation is awarded only to veterinary hospitals that meet the highest standards of patient care, practice management and hospital facilities.

We are proud to be the only accredited hospital on the Mornington Peninsula and one of just 13 in Victoria.

The process includes a rigorous review of our equipment, staff training, patient care protocols, and overall management systems - and it must be repeated every four years to ensure standards remain exceptional.

Being reaccredited means weโ€™re continuing to provide your pets with consistently exceptional veterinary care. Our team is thrilled to achieve this recognition and will continue to raise the bar of veterinary medicine in our community.

Dr Jenny Hutchinson was able to accept the award at the ASAVA conference recently, on behalf of the owners Dr Shane Simpson, Dr Rob Graham, Michelle Graham and our entire team.

Recently we said farewell to our incredible Veterinary Nurse Jenny, after more than five years of care, compassion and contagious laughter.
Jenny has been a true light in our hospital. She is a fierce patient advocate, a team cheerleader, and someone who always put family (and furry friends!) first.

Weโ€™ll miss her stories, her spark, and the way she made every shift a little brighter.

Her next team is lucky to have her, and we canโ€™t wait to see what she does next.

Thank you for everything you brought to our team, clients and patients. We will miss you!

Last Saturday, our hospital proudly partnered with Pets Of The Homeless Australia to host the โ€œFix-A-Friendโ€ Community Desexing Day โ€” a heart-warming initiative supporting pet owners doing it tough.
With 12 extra team members on board, we completed 18 desexing surgeries, plus microchipping and vaccinations. It was a big day with an even bigger impact.

Spaying and neutering not only help control the pet population, but also offer long-term health and behavioural benefits for dogs and cats. Through Pets of the Homeless, the Fix-A-Friend program provides subsidised desexing for approved applicants ensuring vital care remains accessible for those facing financial hardship.
Weโ€™re incredibly proud to be part of a community that shows up for pets and people alike. Huge thanks to our dedicated team for ensuring every patient received outstanding veterinary care. ๐Ÿ’›
