Today, we want to take a moment to recognise and thank the incredible veterinarians who dedicate their lives to caring for our beloved pets.

To our vets at Karingal Veterinary Hospital โ€“ thank you for your compassion, expertise, patience, and unwavering commitment to the animals and families who trust you every day. Whether it's celebrating a new puppy's first visit, helping a sick pet recover, or providing comfort during life's hardest goodbyes, your work makes an immeasurable difference.

Recognised by the Lincoln Institute of Veterinary Business, this award follows a rigorous twoโ€‘stage assessment process including anonymous feedback from our own team. To be named a finalist, and then awarded Highly Commended, is an outstanding achievement and a true reflection of the culture weโ€™ve built together.

๐€๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐ ๐’๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐š๐ซ๐ฒ:
The Lincoln Institute highlighted KVHโ€™s mature and intentional approach to leadership one that builds capability across all levels, fosters psychological safety, and creates clarity, trust, and open communication.

They recognised our commitment to developing emerging leaders, strengthening feedback processes, and prioritising staff wellbeing so that every person feels safe to contribute, challenge ideas, seek support, and take ownership.
Importantly, the citation noted that our leadership culture held strong during significant operational pressure with the team demonstrating calmness, collective accountability, and an unwavering focus on delivering excellent patient and client care.

To our incredible KVH team, thank you for showing up with heart, supporting one another, living our hospital values, and delivering exceptional veterinary care every single day. This recognition belongs to all of you.

๐Ÿซ€ This gorgeous American Bulldog recently visited us for a recheck ECG (electrocardiogram) after being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation - a heart rhythm condition that causes the heart to beat irregularly and often much faster than normal.

๐Ÿฉบ During a recent consult, Nahla was found to have a very fast heart rate and was referred to a specialist for further investigation. After an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart), she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and started on medication to help control her heart rate and keep her feeling comfortable.

๐Ÿฅ At her follow-up visit, Nahla was the perfect patient for her ECG - staying calm, relaxed, and soaking up all the attention from the team. An ECG uses specialised clips attached to the legs to trace the heartโ€™s electrical activity, helping our vets assess heart rhythm and detect arrhythmias.

๐Ÿ“’ Heart conditions in pets can sometimes be difficult to detect at home, as many dogs continue acting normally in the early stages. Signs owners may notice can include an increased sleeping breathing rate, tiring more easily during exercise, or a cough.

๐Ÿพ Weโ€™re very proud of Nahla and look forward to seeing her continue to do well with her treatment.

๐Ÿ† We were proud to attend the Frankston Peninsula Cricket Club Presentation Night in April, where owners Rob and Michelle presented the inaugural Karingal Vet Hospital โ€œValues and Characterโ€ Awards to worthy recipients Shelby Crothers and Nic Taranto.

โœจ These awards recognise players whose attitude and actions consistently lift those around them, celebrating values that closely align with our own at Karingal Vet Hospital - respect, cooperation, dedication, honesty and integrity, health and wellbeing, and fun.

As part of the award, a donation of $250 was made in each recipientโ€™s name to MSFIN (Mums Supporting Families in Need Inc ), a local charity we proudly support each year. MSFIN provides practical support and assistance to local families experiencing hardship, helping ensure no family goes without their basic daily needs being met. We are passionate about supporting MSFIN because of the genuine difference they make within our local community, providing care, dignity, and practical help to families when they need it most.

๐Ÿ’™ Community involvement is incredibly important to us at Karingal Vet Hospital, and we are proud to support organisations and initiatives that make a genuine difference to local families and young people. Karingal Vet Hospital is also proud to be an ongoing sponsor of Frankston Peninsula Cricket Club as the club continues to grow and foster such positive community values.

๐Ÿพ When handsome Rottweiler Jordan came to see us, he had a fish hook firmly stuck in his paw. Unfortunately, fish hooks are designed to go in easily, but thanks to their barbs, they definitely don't like coming back out!

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€ That meant Jordan was taken straight through to surgery with Dr Jaqui and nurse Tamika looking after him. They were safely able to remove the hook and prevent further damage to his paw. We're happy to report that this big, brave boy handled the whole experience like a champion and is no longer in a fishy predicament!
โš ๏ธ๐Ÿ–๏ธ A friendly reminder to be cautious down at the beach: discarded fishing gear can be a real catch for curious pets - but not the kind they want!
