🚑 Need a daytime emergency vet? We know it can be 🚑 Need a daytime emergency vet? 
We know it can be stressful when your pet suddenly needs urgent care, especially when many practices are focusing only on routine procedures or sending cases straight to the ER.
At Nicklin Way Vet, we’re building a culture of doing things differently. 💫Whenever possible, our doctors and team will step up for pets in need of emergency care. If a pet requires urgent attention, we do our best to be flexible, adjust our schedule, and help where we can.
Of course, we also need to balance our team’s wellbeing and existing patients’ needs—so while we may not be able to take on every emergency, we’ll always see if we can assist and guide you towards the right care for your pet.
The bonus? On the Sunshine Coast, emergency surgeries often start at $4000–$6000 😱 At Nicklin Way Vet, we’re able to provide many of these life-saving procedures for considerably less, and with the same familiar team who already knows and loves your pet. 🥰
👉 If your pet is facing an urgent situation, call us first—we’ll let you know how we can help.
Continuing our series in celebration of Internatio Continuing our series in celebration of International Dog Day, today we meet Lenny 🐾
The story goes back to 2019 when our nurse Sarah needed a sibling for her Dalmatian, Stella. "Adoption is always an option, so I took a trip to Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge" says Sarah. "There was a refuge in New South Wales on the brink of being caught in the bushfires fires raging through at the time, and SCARS helped them out by taking a whole litter from them to adopt out up here.
"I saw his cute little face and wanted a mate for Stella. So I took Stella in for a meet and greet and they got along well. Long story short, he is in the right home now. Lenny didn't get the best start to life and he struggles with anxiety and aggression behaviours. He is what made me look further into dog behaviour and anxiety and started my interest to further study why dogs act the way they do and how we can help them."

Well, Lenny, we think you've got the best mum you could ever wish for! 🥰Happy International Dog Day 🦮
On International Dog Day 🐾 we shared stories about On International Dog Day 🐾 we shared stories about how we met our canine kids. Funny stories, sad stories, heart-melting stories; we have them all!
This is the story of Stacey and Snoopy, and how they came to be family....

A stray puppy was brought in to the clinic on a Sunday in 2019. There was no history - all we knew was he was found wandering on the beach. He was checked for a microchip and all the best attempts to find his original family were made. 

Stacey was on duty that day and despite it being love at first sight, Stacey knew that if she even held him for a moment she may never let go and there was still the chance of him being reunited with his original family. 

No one came forward to claim him and eventually Stacey caved in. She picked him up never let go! He was given the name Snoopy and went to live his best life with Stacey and her family.

Snoopy is the gentlest of giants and a much loved part of the Nicklin Way Vet family ❤️ Happy International Dog Day, Snoopy!

There's usually a heartwarming story behind every There's usually a heartwarming story behind every "gotcha day". In the celebration of cats for International Cat Day we thought we would share stories of our team's cats and "how they met their mother" on their gotcha day. 

Here's Valerie's tale:
“I was 5 months old and being speyed at Nicklin Way Vet. It was 2010. I wasn’t doing so well while under anaesthetic, so the vet and nurses checked my ECG - it was abnormal.  A nurse took some of my blood for a test and found I was really sick. I was profoundly anaemic and they identified it being caused by a parasite that cats occasionally get called haemobartonella Meeowww! That’s a big word! 

"The people that I owned at the time decided they had to surrender me as they couldn’t go through the treatment with me. I was sad to loose them and my future was looking grim. One of the lovely people at Nicklin Way Vet took me home for the night to look after me. She was so lovely! I went back the next night and the next again. She gave me my medication and made sure I was all better. And the best bit? She signed my adoption papers! Her name is Belinda. And that my lovelies, is how I met my mother!” 

From Belinda: “Valerie is still going and is now 15 and a half years old and still has that same sweet nature and soft glossy black fur.  Although the tiny dog in the family has a different opinion about that sweet nature having been blocked from going downstairs many times!”

Can someone pass us the tissues, please!😭
