Life is busy, we get it! Plus pets get sick on the weekend or need last minute vaccinations or a medication check. Not everyone can come in on a weekday and that's why we’re open on weekends for you and your pets. We're open from 9am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday for routine care plus urgent and emergency care. Or you can call in for all your food, worming, and flea/tick preventatives. We're here to help!

🐾Sometimes due to emergency cases we may need to delay or reschedule routine care appointments. We thank you for your understanding that life threatening cases need to be seen first.🐾

Keep your fur babies safe in this hot weather!

🚨 Hot weather warning! 🚨

With high temperatures across the east coast of Australia this week, knowing how to keep your pet safe from the heat has never been more important. Whether they’re in cars, on the back of utes, or outside without enough shade and water, heat can kill and cause life-threatening heatstroke.

🚗 Never leave your animal unattended in a car.
Even on mild days, the temperature inside a parked car can become dangerously hot within minutes, even in the shade or with windows down. If you’re heading out, take your animal with you or leave them safely at home.

☀️ Hot surfaces = big risks.
The heat risks don’t just apply to cars; the surface of tray-back utes can get extremely hot too. Animals left on the back without shade and water are at serious risk of burns, heat stress or even death.

💧 Keep them cool:
• Always provide plenty of fresh water and shade
• Walk your dog early in the morning or late in the evening when it’s cool
• Bring pets indoors where it is cool (aircon or fans help!)
• Small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs and birds should be kept in cool, well-ventilated areas away from direct sunlight
• Remember pets can get sunburnt too, especially those with light or thin coats.

🚨If you suspect an animal is suffering from heatstroke, move them to a cool, shaded area, apply room temperature or cool water to their body, offer water if they are aware and able to drink and swallow safely, and seek veterinary attention immediately.

If you see an animal left alone in a car and showing signs of heatstroke, call the Police (000) or contact your local RSPCA.

Let’s keep our pets safe - no matter the temperature❤️

🚑 Need a daytime emergency vet?
We know it can be stressful when your pet suddenly needs urgent care, especially when many practices are focusing only on routine procedures or sending cases straight to the ER.
At Nicklin Way Vet, we’re building a culture of doing things differently. 💫Whenever possible, our doctors and team will step up for pets in need of emergency care. If a pet requires urgent attention, we do our best to be flexible, adjust our schedule, and help where we can.
Of course, we also need to balance our team’s wellbeing and existing patients’ needs—so while we may not be able to take on every emergency, we’ll always see if we can assist and guide you towards the right care for your pet.
The bonus? On the Sunshine Coast, emergency surgeries often start at $4000–$6000 😱 At Nicklin Way Vet, we’re able to provide many of these life-saving procedures for considerably less, and with the same familiar team who already knows and loves your pet. 🥰
👉 If your pet is facing an urgent situation, call us first—we’ll let you know how we can help.

🚨🐾 Pet Parents, Please Be Aware! 🐾🚨
We've been notified about counterfeit pet medications being sold online. These fake products may look identical to trusted brands, in this instance Pro-Kolin Advanced and Pro-Kolin +, but they often contain the wrong ingredients—or no effective ingredients at all—putting your furry friends’ health at risk.

✅ Only buy your pet’s medications from licensed veterinarians or reputable pharmacies and authorized retailers.
✅ Be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true.
✅ Always check packaging for missing labels, different core or effective ingredients, poor-quality printing, or altered expiration dates.
✅ If something doesn’t look right, don’t use it—contact your vet immediately.

Specifically for Pro-Kolin products, check that the product and packaging carries the claim of "Single strain probiotic" and that the distributor information is ADM Australia Pty Ltd. Counterfeit Pro-Kolin products have been found on eBay and Amazon. If you think you have a counterfeit Pro-Kolin product we strongly advise you to stop using it and contact the place you purchased it from. You can also contact the ADM Australia customer support team at anz@adm.com where they can provide further support and information to you.

Rest assured that any Pro-Kolin product purchased from Nicklin Way Vet is legitimate and the genuine product.

Our pets depend on us to keep them safe. Please feel free to share this message to help protect other pets from potentially dangerous counterfeit medications. 🐶🐱❤️
