Supporting Our Community

Supporting Our Community

Our VetLove teams are proud members of our communities. That’s why we believe it's important to support—and give back to—the community in which we live.
Our work in the community is paramount to our beliefs, it stretches us to understand, respect, and support our clients and our patients needs at a personal level.

The McGrath Foundation

To date VetLove has helped raise over $400,000 for charities most predominantly The McGrath Foundation, an organization our owner Dr Geoff Wilson and his veterinary support team hold close to their hearts, hence, why the clinics are painted bright pink to highlight breast cancer awareness and the link to our support for The McGrath Foundation.

Each year VetLove clinics proudly volunteers and supports their time to raise funds for The McGrath Foundation. www.donatenowmcgrathfoundation.com.au or follow our founder Dr. Geoff on his fundraising missions https://www.facebook.com/5thElementExpeditions

Volunteering

As part of our community dedication, we volunteer our professional time and expertise to help animal welfare and wildlife organisations. Many a night our nurses are fostering the very young and injured by bottle feeding, bandage changing or intensive care nursing.
To provide ultimate recovery support and get them back on track to recovery.

School Visits & Education

At VetLove we are motivated to pass on our love of helping animals to their human companions. We mentor others of all ages (under sixteen years will need a guardian in attendance) and all interests. We talk to student groups about careers in veterinary medicine as a technician, veterinary nurse or veterinary surgeon. Feel free to contact us if you would like us to visit your school or if you would like to visit one of our hospitals for an inspiring tour ‘behind the scenes’ of a vet clinic.

Free Dental Check

We can’t avoid the issue that most pets have bad breath! Bad Breath is usually a sign that there could be disease or obstruction in the oral cavity. Our veterinary nursing team are trained to provide free dental checks for pets.
We grade your pet’s teeth from 0-4 depending on the level of tartar that has accumulated on the teeth and the condition of the gums. If a dental scale and polish or any extractions are required, our team can provide an estimate for treatment.
If your pet has perfect teeth, we can provide tips to ensure they stay that way.
There is plenty you can do to keep your pet’s teeth healthy, chat to us to find out more.
To book your pet’s free dental check today, please give us a call.

Wildlife First Aid

All injured wildlife is welcome at our clinic. As part of our dedication to preserving our wildlife, our vets and nurses volunteer their professional time and expertise to help get our wildlife back on to the road to recovery.
If you have an injured animal, are unsure how to handle them or transport them, please call us first for advice. All injured wildlife is treated and assessed for suitability to either be released following treatment back into the wild or passed onto one of our fabulous registered carers for rehabilitation before they are released back into the wild. VetLove treats all injured wildlife completely free of charge. We appreciate any donations of old carriers/towels/bird cages to house these pets during care.
