Puppy Pre School (Marburg and Ipswich)

We are offering puppy preschool classes with our nurse Hannah.

For all puppies between 8-16 weeks of age, course runs for 6 weeks and is $200 per puppy.

Limited to two handlers per puppy.

Our puppy preschool program at Marburg Veterinary Clinic offers a clean, indoor, safe, and closely supervised environment where your puppy can interact with other puppies, fostering essential socialization skills. The course covers a range of lessons, including basic commands and obedience training, controlled play, education on health care and basic first aid, and most importantly, vital socialization experiences with other dogs and people. This valuable time can also help familiarize your puppy with our veterinary clinic, ensuring that future visits for their annual check-ups are positive and stress-free. The basic obedience skills acquired during these classes can serve as a strong foundation for more advanced obedience training, helping your puppy become a well-mannered and happy member of your family.

Poppy

🐾 Meet Poppy – The Real Boss of Marburg Veterinary Clinic! 🐾

She might be small, but don’t let that fool you – Poppy is the true owner and operator of Marburg Veterinary Clinic (just ask Dr. Lena Ferguson). Always keeping a watchful eye on the team, she never misses a beat and is never far from the action.

Poppy plays a vital role in clinic operations, including:

Supervising staff (especially Dr. Lena)
Handling client complaints with her signature head tilt
Providing emotional support to all patients in hospital and consult rooms
Being the most loyal lunch-break companion staff could ask for

She is quite literally all EARS when it comes to anything going on in the clinic!

In her spare time, you’ll find Poppy:

Sitting on your feet (yes, she has a foot fetish)
Gently but firmly demanding pats – she doesn’t take “no” for an answer
Snoring loudly on the manager’s office lounge
Begging adorably for snacks from the team
Loving on every puppy and kitten that walks through the doors

So next time you visit, keep an eye out for Poppy – although chances are, she’ll find you first!Meet Poppy – The Real Boss of Marburg Veterinary Clinic! 🐾

Nicola Reardon

Vet Nurse

I am currently working as a casual Nurse whilst studying Veterinary science at UQ- Gatton. Ever since I could walk and talk, I have loved animals. My parents sat me on the back of a horse at the age of 2 and I have never looked back. To most people their pets are family, and taking care of that family member is a huge privlege. I am passionate about veterinary medicine, in particular, and solving those tricky cases. My partner (Nathan) and I have a border collie named Ellie.

Takita Weaver

Vet Nurse

I am actually a registed Veterinarian but have chosen to work as a Vet Nurse for the time being. I have two kids. Slater who is 3 and Kalia 18 months, and my husband Ben. We have 2 dogs Lochie (Kelpie) and Millie (Border Collie)- I love the interactions with the animals and enjoy finding solutions to give the owners peace of mind that their animals will be ok. I have a fear of Trypophobia (you might need to Google it).

Maddie Adams

Vet Nurse

I love to travel and have plans to visit, Bali, Cambodia and Thailand very soon. I am very adventurous when it comes to eating foods, love trying any new foods. I have grown up with horses from a very young age on both sides of the family. My first love is my Great Dane. I have a massive fear of birds.

Dr Erin Grundy BSc

Veternarian

(Hons), BVSc (Dist) BVSc

I am Canadian but I went to vet school in New Zealand. While living across the ditch I worked in mixed animal practice, but I fell in love with small animal surgery and dentistry. I decided after I had kids that I would stay doing small animal. My husband, Chris and I, along with our 2 young boys, Elliott (5) and Lucien (3), moved over here two years ago. We ended up moving to an acreage in Lowood where we are kept busy with our dalmatian, Pongo, two cats, Gandalf and Luna, our flock of chooks and large veggie garden. We are also keen diyers and are always thinking about the next project coming up. I really enjoy soft tissue surgery and dentistry and I love working with spicy kitties and staffies.
