Lessons from our pets

May 19, 2022

We can learn a lot about kindness and
unconditional understanding from our
pets. These are the qualities needed
to live in a thriving community, but
we have all seen these slip a bit as
the stresses and strains of living in
a pandemic take its toll.


MVVH?s purpose is to serve the
pets, pet owners and animals of the
Northern Beaches. Our commitment
to this purpose remains the same
but please bear with us as we juggle
increasing demand and staffing
fluctuations due to Covid.


You may find less appointment
availability, increased fees and the
inconvenience of rescheduling non
essential procedures as a result.
However, know that we will never
let down the pets and animals in our
care, they remain our priority.
We know that we echo the sentiments
of many in our community, lots of
business? are juggling with similar
pressures.


Let?s encourage us all to be kind to
one another and show gratitude for
the little things – be like our pets!

Why my dog inspired me to do senior nurse consults.

My dog, Calvin, has been a constant source of inspiration throughout my journey as a veterinary nurse. From the early years of my career, the experiences we’ve shared have shaped my understanding of animal care across different life stages.

As Calvin has entered his senior years, his needs have evolved, requiring thoughtful adjustments to support his comfort and wellbeing. Implementing small but meaningful changes, such as shorter walks, installing pet stairs, updating his medications and routines, and tailoring his diet – has helped him navigate this stage of life with greater ease.

Through this process, our bond has deepened, and I’ve become more attuned to his subtle cues and requests for support. This experience has reinforced my passion for senior pet care and inspired me to support other pet owners in providing the same level of comfort and quality of life for their ageing companions.

I am committed to helping both pets and their owners have a positive, fulfilling experience during the senior years, and I hope that through my senior nurse consults, I can make a meaningful difference in their lives.
