OPEN DAY 2014
Its that time of year again for our annual Open Day in which we open our doors to the community offering clinic tours, petting zoo, face painting, free sausage sizzle, informational stalls, games, give-aways and much much more!
This year we had a few star attractions including Dobby the 10ft Diamond python, Clover the 3 week old calf, the fire brigade paid us and the kids a special visit and Sue brought some of her Cavalier Puppies along to visit.
We also held a Charity walk and bake sale for Sydney Animal Second chance – a local charity that rescues dogs off death row and tries to find them a furever home – in which we raised over $500!
Be sure to Come and Join us next year! Sign up for our monthly Newsletter to keep up to date with our up coming events & pet info!

SCHOOL TALKS
As a service provided to the community, we have been offering our talks to pre-schools, primary schools and high schools for the last ten years. We began by using the “Pet Pep” module, then some of our nurses were trained in the “Delta Dog Safe” programme. When the Government decided that we needed a dog safe programme all under one umbrella, we also sent some of our nurses to be trained in the “SPOT” programme, a hybrid of “Pet Pep” and “Delta Dog Safe” with the RSPCA coming on board to provide a section on animal cruelty.
Adapting and tailoring all our knowledge for the requirements of each specific occasion, we continue to go to schools where we are needed. So popular have our talks been, that unfortunately we have limited space and time to see every pre-schools. To date we have been able to share our knowledge with thousands of children. We try to take animals to all our talks, and these usually include a dog, a cat, birds, a turtle and a lizard. We love sharing our knowledge and love of animals with the children, and our reward is seeing the joy on their faces.
