We can't believe 2010 is here! Doesn't time fly? The team at Essendon Vet Clinic hopes that all our clients and their pets had a great Christmas and New Year. January was a very busy month for all of us. The heat has been playing havoc with us, especially our doggy friends whom we have had in the clinic treating them for heatstroke.

We recently held our annual Christmas 'Barks in the Park'. This is a fun event where pet owners come together with their four-legged friends and join the Essendon Vet Clinic team and their pets for some wine and cheese in a nice and informal catch up.

December was a very busy month with many of our clients booking their pets in for check ups and vaccinations before they prepared for their Christmas holidays. Our cattery is fully booked from the Christmas period into early to mid January so we apologise if we are unable to accommodate your furry friends. Remember to book early this year.

It's that time of the year again! With Christmas and New Year just round the corner, it is important to remember to keep your pet safe and healthy this summer with our Top 3 Festive Season articles.

Another busy month for the team at Essendon Vet Clinic. In November Nurse Penny has settled back into life and is now busy planning her engagement party and wedding.

Dr Bridget Naughton gave birth recently to a healthy baby boy named Patrick. The family is doing well and is enjoying looking after their new little boy.

The Cats in the City cattery is booked out for the Christmas/ New Year's period. Deposits letters will be sent out over the next few weeks to those who have booked but need to confirm their spot. Please contact the clinic if you have any questions about this.

Be sure to check out the Cats in the City website at www.catsinthecity.com.au

For Essendon Vet Clinic, October has been a big month of events and exciting news with lots happening around the place.

Our head vet, Seina, has moved house and is settling in very well. Seina has also become a proud parent to two goldfish, which are enjoyable to watch and relax to. Nurse Simone will be moving back into her new stylish shed, which has been specially built for her and her husband so they are able to continue with building their home. Simone's home was destroyed in the bushfires.

Puss would like to let all of our clients know that she now has her own Facebook page where she will make regular updates on what is going on at the clinic and may even put in some staff photo's from time to time.
