Vet Nurse Day

Recognizing Vet Nurses’ Dedication

“Vet Nurses deserve recognition for their extraordinary efforts in caring for animals of all sizes,” says Nadia Crighton from Pet Insurance Australia. “They work tirelessly to safeguard the health and well-being of countless pets across Australia and deserve our heartfelt appreciation.”

Vet nurses play a pivotal role in various tasks, including assisting in surgery, providing support to veterinarians, offering after-hours care, and attending to injured and ill animals.

Dr. Paul McGreevy’s Perspective

Championing Vet Nurses’ Exceptional Work

“Vet nurses look out for both vets and patients,” says Professor McGreevy. “Their exceptional work involves guiding clients on animal care, puppy socialization, and post-surgical care. They are the unsung heroes in nearly every clinic I’ve worked in.”

Innovative Support Through Doglogbook

A Modern Tool for Pet Health

Doglogbook, a groundbreaking app, stores a dog’s details, including medication and booster reminders, and allows post-surgery or health crisis monitoring. It also supports evidence-based assessments of dogs’ current quality of life and enhances welfare in clinical practice.

Vet Nurses: The Comprehensive Caregivers

Educating, Consoling, and Assisting in All Situations

Vet nurses also answer client questions, educate pet owners on health and well-being, run puppy preschools, and handle various tasks, including dealing with messy situations, upset dogs, and owners. There’s virtually nothing your local veterinary nurse won’t do to assist animals and their owners in need.

Personal Experiences Highlight Their Compassion

A Heartwarming Example of Vet Nurse Care

“I’ve had a vet nurse personally comfort my beloved dog as he woke from surgery,” adds Crighton. “She even stayed with him in his cage until she was certain he was okay, as he whimpered while waking from anesthesia.”

Supporting Owners Through Loss

Vet Nurses’ Role in Grief and Healing

In many instances, vet nurses help owners cope with the loss of a pet, offering support and a sympathetic shoulder. They are on the front lines of veterinary care, assisting with examinations, treatment, and the rehabilitation of sick and injured animals.
