About Us

Our consulting rooms are where our caring vets will take the time to speak with you about your pet, and any concerns or questions you may have.

Although our vets perform most of their examinations in these consult rooms, we have a lot more facilities downstairs which might surprise you!

If you are ever in our area with your pet, please feel free to pop in to say hello – our receptionist is always ready with a cuddle and a treat to help your pet realise that coming to the vet can be a happy experience.

What we’re all about

Health Checks and Vaccinations

Annual health checks are an important part of your pet’s care. Your pet ages faster than you. As the old saying goes “one human year equals 7 pet years”. Now whilst this figure is not absolutely correct for all patients and life stages the sentiment is correct. A lot can change in 365 days! At this annual check we can also determine what vaccinations you pet may need.

Microchipping, Registration and Desexing

If a pet is ever lost and is handed in at a veterinary clinic or animal shelter a microchip scanner is passed over the animal to reveal the unique code.

Pet Insurance

Some surgeries such as repair of fractured bones or exploratory surgery can also add up to thousands of dollars and that’s before including recovery and aftercare treatment.

Parasite Control

It’s well-known in our area that ticks thrive in the spring and summer months (often referred to as tick season), however in recent years we have seen a steep increases in tick paralysis cases in the colder months.

Dentistry

It’s important to take care of your pet’s teeth and gums, so your vet will check their condition during an annual health check. Just like humans, our dogs and cats need their teeth looked after too!

Boarding Eligibility

Going on holidays soon? Before considering whether to board your pet please check their vaccination records to make sure they have been vaccinated within the past 12 months.

Other Pets & Wildlife

We see a huge range of native wildlife including ringtail and brushtail possums, koalas, wallabies, bandicoots, blue tongue lizards, kookaburras, owls and lorikeets. These animals are often unwell or injured due to habitat destruction and predators such as feral cats.

We take our duty of care to wildlife seriously and all of our treatment for injured wildlife is carried out at no charge.
