Gorgeous Goose got himself into a spot of bother and hurt his eye this morning. Thankfully the damage is minimal and with some treatment he should be back to normal in no time. It hasn’t slowed him down at all!!

***Millie is home. Big thank you to everyone who posted, shared, messaged us and looked after Millie. We’re really grateful and so relieved to have her home safely***

Could everyone please keep an eye out for our Millie? Missing overnight from Gravelly Beach with the fireworks. Cream labradoodle, super friendly, not wearing her collar.
Thank you!

I’m sure no one needs reminding that Christmas is just around the corner! If your pet is going into boarding over the holiday period, now is a really good time to check their vaccination status and book an appointment if you need one😊

Wishing all vet nurses and especially our wonderful Karen a very happy Vet Nurses Day! Thank you for all that you do 🥳🐕🐾🐈🥳

I hope that you are all looking forward to wonderful Easter break with your pets and that you have your chocolate well out of their reach!

I will be away from Easter until 6th May. We do have a locum who is able to offer some limited coverage during my absence. She will be available for ongoing management of existing cases - mostly on a Wednesday.

The phone will be manned by our fabulous vet nurse Karen, during business hours. Please text rather than phone where possible. If you are an existing client and need to contact me for advice, please use Facebook messenger (Tamar Mobile Vet).

I’ve been in touch with many of you who have pets with regular medication requirements to ensure that you have enough for this period. Please let me know in the next couple of days if there is anything that you need.

If you are a Tamar Mobile Vet client and do not have another vet that you use for your pet’s Clinic based requirements, please let me know, so that we can plan for some options if your pet needs more significant veterinary assistance during this period.

I’m sure that many of you are aware of how busy Vets are at the moment, due to increased demand and shortages of Veterinary staff.

We frequently struggle to balance our desire to help as many pets and people as possible, while also being able to maintain a good level of service to our current patients.

Unfortunately, at the moment, I do need to close my books to new clients.

The exception to this is end of life care and home euthanasia; it’s important that people have access to this option for their pets.

Thank you for understanding - I will definitely reassess the situation in a few months and hope to be available to new clients again then.

I hope that you are all looking forward to a wonderful and safe Christmas break with your pets (and friends and families🙂!!)

I will be away from December 22nd until Jan 10th. On Wednesday 28th December and Wednesday 4th January the phone will be manned by our fabulous Vet Nurse Karen for any appointment bookings - messages will be checked on these dates. If you are an existing client and need to contact me for advice, please use Facebook Messenger.

I've been in touch with many of you who have pets with regular medication requirements to ensure that you have enough for this period.

Please get in touch over the next couple of days if there is anything you need and I will get it organised.

If you are a Tamar Mobile Vet client and you do not have another vet that you see for your pet's Clinic based requirements, please get in touch over the next couple of days so we can plan for some options if your pet needs veterinary assistance during this period.

Just a reminder about tick prevention. I’ve seen lots of ticks already, so I suspect it’s likely to be a bad season.

There is also a nationwide shortage of tick antiserum, so preventing tick paralysis is even more important.

Please get in touch if you are unsure about appropriate products for your pet. Leah At The Feed Shed and the team at Exeter Farm & Feed will also be able to give you a hand.

Happy Vet Nurse Day and a huge thank you to all Vet Nurses for your compassion, dedication, patience and hard work ❤️🐾❤️

Phone communication is back to normal now - thank you for your patience!

26/07/2022

I am having problems with my phone, I will have it diverted so should be able to receive voice calls, but cannot receive text messages. Tamar Mobile Vet on Messenger is the best option to send a message.

Thanks for your patience while I get this sorted 😊

I’m pretty sure I’ve shared this before, but it’s true 🐾❤️🐾

Hi everyone,
I’m heading off to the Australian Veterinary Association conference and will be away next week. I’m really looking forward to updating my knowledge, checking out new products/equipment and bringing all this information back with me.

Did you know that after neutering, your dog's body does not need as much as food as they needed before it?
Obesity will only worsen the condition of your dog's arthritis. Reducing calorie intake is of utmost importance in the management journey!
