Services
Health Checks
Our comprehensive health checks help detect potential issues early. We conduct thorough physical examinations and offer age-specific screening programs for puppies, adult pets, and seniors. Our veterinarians assess your pet's overall condition, vaccination needs, and preventative care requirements during these consultations.
Vaccinations
We provide essential vaccinations to protect against preventable diseases. Our program includes core vaccines for dogs (C5) and cats (F3) plus additional protection against emerging threats like leptospirosis. We tailor vaccination schedules to your pet's age, lifestyle, and local disease risks in Wauchope.
Surgery
Our surgical services cover routine and complex procedures. We perform soft tissue surgeries including desexing, lump removals, and wound repairs. With modern anaesthetic monitoring equipment and post-operative care protocols, we ensure patient safety and comfort throughout their surgical journey.
Dentistry
We offer complete dental care services including professional cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments. Our team addresses periodontal disease, tooth fractures, and other oral conditions using appropriate pain management and aftercare instructions for pet owners.
Microchipping
We implant permanent identification microchips to help reunite lost pets with their owners. This quick, minimally-invasive procedure provides lifelong security for your pet. We also scan for existing microchips when handling lost animals and coordinate with local registries.
