The Vet Practice

People have been asking us what financial assistance we are receiving for our efforts.

Here is our response.

When the first patients started arriving at our clinic on that terrible Saturday, we made an agreement that our contribution (as a local business) to assist those affected by the devastating fires was to provide immediate access to Free Veterinary treatment for injured animals brought to us.

To this date we have upheld this agreement.

To this date - no invoice for these patients has been raised therefore, there are no invoices to present to anyone for reimbursement.

With the influx of so many injured dogs and cats as well as livestock and horses treated on properties, we did not have the luxury of time to create individual financial records which would carefully separate the donated supplies from those which have been supplied from our own pockets.

Plus, it was never our intention to do so in the first place.

Our priority was to provide the needed veterinary care to patients, many of whom belong to clients we have known for many years.

The commitment to provide this care to date has only been made possible through the generous donations in the form of medical and other supplies, hands on help by volunteer staff and monetary donations from the general public.

We certainly could not have been able to do this using our own resources alone.

We are just an ordinary clinic facing extraordinary circumstances.
