A big Thank You to Wollongong City Council for allowing me to be part of their "Responsible Pet ownership" initiative.

It involved several days as the Supervising Veterinarian to assist the Rangers to get their microchipping accreditation (so that Council can continue to offer subsidised microchipping for dogs and cats of the Wollongong region), as well as supporting (as we always have) Responsible Pet Ownership.

We had a great time at all of the events we attended.

SEMI-FINALIST - in the 2016 AVAPM Practice of Excellence Awards - this makes it the third year in a row!

Very chuffed!

FINALIST - Small Business Champion Awards for 2016 -

Another great night at the Awards with Dirk and Sean in attendance as I (Dr Liz) was overseas at the time.

For the first time, I am proud to have been nominated, and chosen as a Finalist in the Illawarra Local Business Awards in the Category of Outstanding Business Person of the Year.

Not an award, as such, but we are proud to have a tile at the Pozieres Animal War Memorial in France.

This war memorial will be opened in 2017, and will recognise the work of our animal friends in time of war, especially World War One.

Another year, another Finalist - we have won this category twice, and we are hoping for a third one - but even without a win, we are humbled to be a Finalist, as this is all due to our wonderful pet owners who vote for us.

We are always happy to support the RSPCA in donations and support,

as we are all against Animal Cruelty

This is our seventh or eighth year (or maybe more) of supporting the Woonona Lions

Club World of Magic Show for children.

It is all about community.
