Last December, Dermcare began the search for a new canine companion to be a fresh face on the website. We were searching for the dog with a cute face, a love for being washed with Dermcare shampoo and a dog with a great story.

With over 50 fantastic nominees, the decision was not an easy one! In the end we did have one particularly deserving winner.

With an influx of votes, lots of foster caring and a very sweet soul, the winner is…

Moon, from Western Australia!

Last week a team of seven nurses and one vet from Dermcare flew to Thailand to visit Soi Dog Foundation. The foundation is based in Phuket, but has mobile units throughout Thailand, and rescue many pets from the dog meat trade in north Thailand.

The team took over donations for the animal hospital, and were lucky enough to get a tour of both the shelter and their new hospital facility. Soi Dog has a vaccination and desexing program, which has led to Phuket being rabies free and over 80% of the street dogs there are now desexed. The foundation is run entirely on donations, and rehomes 90% of their adoption animals overseas.

Our team spent their time at Soi Dog washing the ‘Old Age Pensioners’, examining tricky skin cases and socialising both the rescue dogs and cats. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and a few can’t wait to head back and volunteer again one day.

Like the sound of donating or volunteering? To find out more about the great work that Soi Dog does throughout Thailand, and their rehoming of animals all over the world- visit https://www.soidog.org/.

Heading along to the WA AVA conference this weekend? Come and chat with team Emma about the latest product updates for Dermcare at stand 39. They will be there Friday and Saturday to answer any questions you might have!

And just in case you were wondering- Emma is not wearing some sort of headpiece! The Otoscope is on the wall behind her!

From the 8th August until the 12th August 2016, ASAVA Conference was underway at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre. The ASAVA conference is an annual, national veterinary conference focussed on small animals, and was attended by vets from all around Australia!

This year, Dermcare hosted the first annual ‘Scrub Run’. Just over 30 vets braved the cool, early morning to watch the sunrise and run/ walk 2.5km or 5km in their scrub tops!

Congratulations to all who participated! We can’t wait to see those scrub tops worn in-clinic. An extra special congratulations goes out to our front runners:

5km winner: Adam Heeley

5km runner-up: Bill Perry

2.5km winner: Emily Ireland

2.5km runner-up: Victoria Bartley

We look forward to an even bigger and better ‘Scrub Run’ at FASAVA 2017!

Not only did the Dermcare team attend the conference, so did some of our pets! Team Pomeranian provided some lunchtime entertainment to the crowd, showing off their agility skills in tiny, pom-sized scrub tops! Gizmo, Yogi, Tim-Tam and Rebel were such good sports, even posing with fans after the event!

A few more Dermcare dogs volunteered their time (and some of their fur!) to help vets hone their ultrasounding skills once the conference was over! Gracie, Shelby, Ned, Missy, Hudson and Malia got lots of big cuddles and extra treats for their fantastic behaviour throughout the course! A big thanks to Liina and Toby, plus Jess and Claudia, for also giving up their time to help!

We had a great time at ASAVA 2016, and can’t wait to see lots of new and familiar faces at FASAVA 2017! Vets, be sure to check out our competition to win registration to FASAVA 2017 on the VET section of the website!

Meet Yogi and Gizmo. They are part of Team Pomeranian, and two of the faces of Dermcare. Team Pomeranian live with one of the Dermcare team, our clinical nurse Jacki, and are some of the best trained pomeranians in Australia.

If you have picked up an Aloveen brochure from your local veterinary clinic, you may have gotten to know Yogi! Yesterday Yogi dressed up in his favourite new outfit!

Yogi, loving the cowboy lifestyle!

Yogi’s teammate, Gizmo, also tried on the new outfit. We don’t think he will be borrowing it anytime soon from his face!

Gizmo, not so impressed!

Harvey from Flinders View Veterinary Surgery (QLD), is one of our Clinic Cat of the Year 2016 nominees. He loves his food, his heat mat, his team of vets/ vet nurses, his food and his bed! Today, Flinders View Veterinary Surgery invited friends, family and clients to come in and celebrate Harvey’s 10th Birthday!

Harvey was adopted by Dr Andrew many years ago, and has travelled down to Tasmania and back. He has been a resident, and hard working team member, of the clinic since it opened in 2012- and is very loved by the team and clients alike!

There was chicken and salmon for Harvey, and lots of delicious human food for his guests! Harvey had a couple of friends to help him blow out the candles on his cake, and to support him in wearing his party hat (which he was THRILLED about)!

Sometimes, lots of people and unusual noises can be stressful for cats. However, Harvey was very well behaved at his birthday party, and even let Emma have a cuddle!

This Saturday, the 11th June 2016, two of the Dermcare team attended and helped out at the Allpets Caboolture Animal Hospital Open Day! The day was a great success for the team, with over 500 people attending the day (plus a few three and four legged friends)!!

The day was an opportunity for clients, pets and locals to come in and check out the brand new hospital building, which opened in January 2016. There were tours of the hospital, competitions and giveaways for those who attended!

Sara and Emma, our two QLD territory representatives were there to answers questions, give away lollies and provide hydrobaths to the pets that attended the Open Day as well! The dogs were washed in Natural Shampoo and Aloveen Intensive Conditioner was rubbed though the coat to finish. Donations collected from the hydrobath went towards the Young Diggers charity, a very worthy cause!

When the bathing was done, and the stall packed up, there was only one thing left to do- play with the baby calves!

Congratulations to Dr David, Julie and the wonderful team at Allpets Caboolture Animal Hospital for a fantastic day!
