Services
General Health and Wellbeing
Our annual health checks detect early signs of disease in pets, including heart conditions, arthritis, and diabetes. We provide vaccinations, parasite checks, and tailored advice on nutrition and behaviour. With advanced diagnostic tools, we ensure comprehensive care for dogs and cats of all ages.
Surgical Procedures
We perform complex surgical treatments for dogs and cats, including tumour removal, orthopaedic repairs, and brachycephalic airway correction. Our team uses advanced techniques to ensure safe anaesthesia and swift recovery. Emergency surgeries are supported by referral partnerships for critical cases.
Dental Care
Dental services include cleaning, extractions, and treatment for periodontal disease. We use ultrasonic scalers and polishing tools to maintain oral health. Preventative advice on home care helps reduce future anaesthetic requirements and systemic health risks associated with dental disease.
Emergency Services
Emergency veterinary care is available through our partnership with AES for critical injuries or illnesses outside regular hours. Our team stabilises patients and provides referrals to 24-hour facilities, ensuring continuity of care for urgent cases like poisoning or trauma.
Microchipping
We implant permanent microchips for pet identification, registered on national databases. This service ensures lost pets can be reunited with owners efficiently. Updates to contact details are managed through our clinic, complying with Australian compulsory microchipping regulations.
