New year, new pet routine. If booking your pet’s annual health check keeps getting pushed back, you are not alone. Between busy calendars, travel time, and pets who dread the clinic, it is easy for good intentions to stall.

The holidays are meant to be joyful. Extra food, extra visitors, extra time at home. For pets, that also means extra opportunities to get into trouble. As a mobile veterinary service partnered with Goodna Vet, we see the same preventable emergencies every festive season across Goodna, Springfield, Redbank Plains and nearby suburbs.
