Meet Shorty 🤍
When Shorty was 5 years old, his future was uncertain. He was labelled “aggressive” and was just hours away from being euthanised. But we saw something different, a dog who was scared, hurt, and desperate for a chance.

The beginning wasn’t easy. Shorty didn’t trust easily. He would growl, snap, and retreat when he felt threatened. Some days were frustrating, some days heartbreaking, but we never gave up. Slowly, with patience, consistency, and lots of love, he began to change. Small victories like a wagging tail, a tentative cuddle, a playful bark had reminded us that trust could grow if given the time and care it deserved.

Over the years, Shorty transformed. The dog who once hid in fear became a joyful, loving companion. He learned to play, to relax, and to share his affection freely. He became part of our family in every sense, teaching us daily about resilience, patience, and unconditional love.

Now, at 13 years old, Shorty has spent 8 wonderful years in our home. Every quirky habit, every joyful zoom around the house, every moment of calm beside us tells the story of how far he’s come. From a misunderstood, fearful dog to the gentle, loyal soul we love today. Shorty’s journey is proof that every life deserves a chance.

🐾 Ever wondered what makes your pet so unique? 🧬

Just like humans, pets can undergo DNA testing to uncover valuable insights about their breed, health, and traits. Whether you have a mixed-breed companion or simply want to know your pet better, a DNA test can reveal their ancestry, highlight potential genetic health risks, and explain their unique features and behaviours.

Understanding your pet’s DNA can help you make more informed decisions about their care from diet and exercise to long-term health monitoring. 💙

🏥 We offer pet DNA testing right here at MyFamilyVet Clinic.

BabyBaby came into Dr Vanessa’s life in the most unexpected way.
She was brought into the clinic after being knocked down by a car — a stray shipyard dog, frightened and in pain. On examination, it was discovered that she was heavily pregnant, carrying nine puppies.

She was kept in the clinic to recover, and two weeks later, with a little assistance and a lot of strength on her part, she gave birth to all nine.

Finding homes for the puppies was a journey in itself. In the end, Dr Vanessa adopted BabyBaby and one little pup who couldn’t find a home. With her limited creativity with names, she named him PuppyBaby — and that’s how this mother-and-son duo became part of her family.

For the past 13 years, they’ve been by her side, growing up, growing old, and filling her life with quiet companionship and unconditional love.

One question she gets asked all the time is: “Does PuppyBaby know BabyBaby is his mum?”
Honestly… she thinks he does.

Science tells us that puppies are born with a strong ability to recognize their mother through scent — it’s their very first language. During the early weeks of life, this bond is reinforced through nursing, warmth, and constant contact. Studies show that dogs can retain familiar scent memories for years, and they’re incredibly good at recognizing individuals they’ve formed early bonds with.

While we can’t say they understand “mother” in the same way humans do, long-term attachment, comfort-seeking, and social bonding are very real in dogs. And when she looks at the way PuppyBaby follows her, rests beside her, and simply chooses her… it’s hard not to believe there’s something deeper there.

Maybe it’s instinct. Maybe it’s memory. Maybe it’s just love.

Whatever it is, it’s been one of the sweetest experiences of her life — watching this mother and son grow up, and grow old, together.

From a roadside accident to a home filled with warmth — BabyBaby’s story is one she will always carry with her.

🦜 DID YOU KNOW?

Parrots aren’t just great at mimicking sounds they can actually understand certain words and even pick up on emotions! 😲💬

Some species can learn to associate words with objects, colours, and actions, showing impressive cognitive abilities 🧠✨

Pretty smart for such colourful little chatterboxes! 💚

🚫 Think all fruits are safe for pets? Think again.

Some “healthy” fruits can actually be toxic even in small amounts 🐾
And most pet owners don’t realise it until it’s too late.

From grapes that can cause kidney failure to everyday fruits hiding dangerous seeds… this is something every pet parent should know.

Because prevention is always better than emergency visits.

Meet Princess, our beloved clinic cat, came into our lives under difficult circumstances. She had been adopted by a family from another home, who were unaware that she was pregnant. Unfortunately, she developed severe complications, including dystocia and a uterine prolapse. Unable to afford the necessary veterinary care, the family considered taking her home to let her pass, explaining that they were financially strained and already caring for a large household with many children.

We offered them the option to surrender her instead, and they agreed. Princess underwent emergency surgery and required intensive post-operative care. Despite the odds, she recovered remarkably well.

During her recovery, she captured the hearts of our entire team. We named her Princess, and she soon became our official clinic cat. Today, she roams freely around the clinic, carrying herself with confidence and authority, truly living up to her name. She acts like the boss, and is deeply loved by everyone here.
