Everyone loves Max ❤️🐶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maximus came and spent the day with us recently.

Sally can thank Susie for Nutmeg 🐱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This little cutie is Nutmeg. He visited Dr Mel when he was just 4 months old, with his mum Sally, for a check up. Nutmeg is a Scottish Fold. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Scottish Fold cats have drooping or folded ears 🙉The first Scottish Fold was born in 1961 in Perthshire, Scotland 🏴 A kitten with folded ears was born amongst a litter of cats with regular ears. This kitten was named 'Susie' and to this day every Scottish Fold cat can trace their ancestry back to Susie ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #covid19canberra

It was a big day for baby Molly 🐶 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tiny little 8 week old Mini Dachshund, Molly 😍 came to see Dr Matt. New mum Rebecca had just picked up her gorgeous new puppy and brought Molly for a health check on the way home ✅ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was a big day for Molly. She even fell asleep whilst Rebecca was saying goodbye to our nurses 😴...too cute! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do all puppies need a health check when they first arrive in their forever home? Most breeders provide puppies with their first vaccination and a veterinary health check. This is usually done a few weeks before rehoming. We do strongly support an owner's decision to have a health check when they bring their puppy home. This helps to ensure you start on the right foot health-wise 👨🏻⚕️ Our vets can also make sure you are aware of your puppy's healthcare needs for the time between arriving at your home and their next vaccination. It is also a good time to discuss feeding 🦴and toilet training 😣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you have a new puppy 🐶(CONGRATULATIONS! 👏🏻) and would like to arrange a health check or perhaps you have questions regarding their care 🤔 please call us ☎️6262 2233 or have a look at our website 🖥for our information page on New Puppies (link in Bio). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #covid19canberra #canberradachshunds @missmollyminidachshund
Tomorrow is International Cat 🐈Day! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are lucky as every day is Cat Day for us 😻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is Luna 🐱She is a 9 month old Tortoiseshell who visited us for her desexing surgery. She was very smoochy and loved cuddles with the nurses 👩🏻⚕️so naturally all our nurses obliged 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you know that the X chromosome 🧬carries the gene for orange OR black coat colours? So with two X chromosomes females can have black AND orange coats colours together 🖤🧡whereas males are usually either black OR orange. Almost all torties are female. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #covid19canberra #internationalcatday

Poodle Party 🐶🎉🐶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is Coco and Coby when they came to visit us almost 12 months ago 🗓for their annual health checks. They are the cutest little things ❤️ Coco and Coby have been fit as fiddles since we last saw them 👏🏻and so we are looking forward to seeing them soon for their annual health check. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you know that your annual visit isn't just about getting annual vaccinations? 🤷🏽♀️Their health check is so important to your small friend's general health 🤩 Small friends can't tell us specifically how they are feeling, so by owners discussing their small friend's behaviour with one of our vets 👩🏻⚕️👨🏻⚕️👩🏼⚕️ and having a full health check ✅we can get a good idea of their health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We have an information page on Health Checks on our website (link in bio). It goes through some things you might like to discuss with out vets at your appointment 👍🏻 It is helpful to have a read of it before your next health check. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #poodlesofcanberra
