We offer tailored vaccination protocols for dogs, cats, and pocket pets, along with nutritional advice and dental care. Regular check-ups help detect potential issues early, reducing long-term health risks while ensuring pets receive timely immunizations against common diseases.

We perform routine and complex surgical procedures in our fully equipped operating suite. Services include desexing, soft tissue surgery, orthopedic repairs, and emergency interventions. Pre-surgical blood testing ensures patient safety, while post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring. Our team handles fracture repairs, ligament injuries, and specialized surgeries like brachycephalic airway correction for breeds with breathing difficulties.

Emergency services are available for accidents, injuries, and acute illnesses. Our facility provides in-house diagnostics and onsite laboratory support for rapid assessment. For after-hours emergencies, we partner with Geelong Animal Emergency and Geelong Animal Referral Service.
