Last night Frank got to be my first patient to test out my new #aquapaw slow treater. It is one of the many tools that I use to reduce fear, anxiety and stress in my patients at the clinic. He's a bit of a camera hog and anytime he caught on to me taking his photos he was up and into the camera I smeared peanut butter on the slow treater but canned food, cream cheese or a little bit of vegemite would work well too! #fearfreevet #fearfree #fearfreepets #dogsofsydney #dogsofaustralia #aussiedogsrule #aussiedogs #vetlife #veterinarian #vetnurse #vettech #vetnurselife #vetlyfe #greyhoundsofsydney #greyhoundrescue #vetsofsydney #vetsofaustralia #aussievets #sydneyhills #sydneyvets #hillsdistrictpets #adoptdontshop

Armed with a protractor and an iphone our vet team tackled the difficult task of attempting to document a "how to take dental radiographs" series of photos... We resisted using the words bisecting angle through fear of inducing physics flashbacks We each learnt a new trick or two and certainly had a few laughs along the way. It is so important to surround yourself with people who build you up rather than tear you down. #vet #veterinarian #vetnurse #vettech #vetnurselife #vetlife #vetlyfe #vetsofsydney #vetsofaustralia #aussievets #veterinarydentist #veterinarydentistry #dentalxrays #training #learning #protractorsofinstagram #physics #vetmedworld #vetsnobiety #dvm #vetstudent #vetstudentlife #dvmstudent #snoutsquad #capturetheangle

I've spent the long weekend hanging out with Sooty the sheep and his best mate Mana the Labrador! How has your public holiday Monday been? We've been trapped in the car for 11 hours driving home from Queensland #vet #vetlife #veterinarian #farmlife #bestfriends #dogsofaustralia #aussiedogsrule #aussiedogs #vetnurse #vettech #labradorsofaustralia #labradorsofinstagram #sheep #sheepofinstagram #petsheep #baabaa #roadtrip #vetlyfe

WHY DID I JOIN SNOUT SQUAD? I was given the chance from @daniellesnout at @snout.school to join her group of 30 kick ass women who are working in the veterinary industry. Find out why I said yes to becoming a member of #SnoutSquad and why I think women helping women is a must! With the official launch of Snout Squad and the new @whiskercloud Snout School website next week I can't wait to see what we can achieve together.

Flashing back to #acupuncture with Annie. This is her second treatment and she has already seen a positive response to get treatment. She'd had started to be the one instigating play with her siblings again which she have been doing for a while. I love that her parents brought a pillow with them from home to help make her feel more comfortable during her treatment. #veterinaryacupuncturist #veterinaryacupuncture #vetacupuncture #petacupuncture #vetsofsydney #vetsofaustralia #aussievets #dogsofsydney #dogsofaustralia #aussiedogsrule #aussiedogs #vetlife #veterinarian #vetnurse #vettech #vetlyfe #petsofsydney #petsofaustralia #furbaby #fearfreevet #fearfree #fearfreepets

We had fun at the @rspcansw #millionpawswalk today! Charlie came along for the walk but we choose to keep Elmo at home. Elmo is anxious around new people so the crowds would have been too triggering for him but that didn't stop him from supporting the RSPCA from home! Paws up of you went along with your furkids today #mpw2018 #sydney #vetsdogs #vetsdoglife #spoodle #spooodlesofsydney #spoodlesofinstagram #labradoodle #labradoodlesofsydney #oodlesofoodles #rspca #vetsofsydney #vetsofaustralia #aussievets #dogsofsydney #dogsofaustralia #aussiedogs #aussiedogsrule #happydog #adoptdontshop @rspcamillionpawswalk
