Services
Healthcare
Preventative healthcare plays an important role in helping animals live longer, healthier lives.
Regular health checks allow us to identify potential concerns early, monitor ongoing conditions, and provide tailored advice to support your animal's wellbeing.
Our healthcare services include routine examinations, vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutrition and weight
management advice, senior health assessments, and chronic disease management.
Working closely with you, we aim to keep your animals healthy and comfortable through every stage of life.
Emergency & Critical Care
Medical emergencies can be stressful and unpredictable.
Our team is experienced in the assessment, stabilisation, and treatment of urgent and critical conditions affecting companion animals and livestock.
Whether your animal has suffered an injury, suddenly become unwell, or requires immediate veterinary attention, we are committed to providing prompt, compassionate
care when it matters most.
If you are concerned your animal may be experiencing an emergency, please contact the clinic as soon as possible.
Reproductive Services
Effective reproductive management is essential for both animal health and productivity.
We offer a comprehensive range of reproductive services for companion animals and livestock, including fertility assessments, pregnancy diagnosis, artificial insemination, breeding soundness evaluations, reproductive disease investigation, and obstetric care.
By combining experience, practical
knowledge, and modern reproductive technologies, we help owners and producers optimise breeding outcomes and support the health and wellbeing of their animals.
Accreditation & Export Services
We provide Brucella canis testing and export veterinary services to support breeding programs, exportation, and regulatory compliance requirements.
Our accredited veterinarians can perform the examinations, testing, treatments, and documentation required for breeding animals, and animals subject to domestic or international movement protocols.
We also provide guidance on testing requirements, interpretation of results, and ongoing management to help protect the health and wellbeing of your animals.
Working closely with owners, breeders, export agents, and regulatory authorities, we ensure all requirements are met efficiently and professionally while supporting a smooth process for both animals and their owners.
Specialist Referral
While we provide a comprehensive range of veterinary services, some cases may benefit from the expertise of a veterinary specialist.
When advanced diagnostics, specialised treatment, or complex procedures are required, we can arrange referral to trusted specialist centres and referral hospitals.
Our team works closely with specialists to ensure continuity of care and will remain involved in your animal's treatment journey.
We will guide you through the referral process, communicate closely with the specialist team, and continue to support your animal's ongoing care.
Nursing Services
Our experienced veterinary nurses provide a range of services to support your animal's ongoing health and wellbeing.
Nurse consultations are ideal for routine procedures, follow-up care, and preventative health support, helping to keep your animal comfortable and healthy between veterinary visits.
Services may include: nail trims,
suture removal, post-operative wound checks, express anal glands, cartrophen injections or general health support.
Our nursing team works closely with our veterinarians to ensure your animal receives high-quality care tailored to their individual needs.
If you are unsure whether your animal requires a veterinary consultation or a nurse appointment, our team will be happy to help determine the most appropriate option.
Surgery
We offer a comprehensive range of surgical services for companion animals and livestock, including desexing, dental procedures, soft tissue surgery, orthopaedic surgery, ophthalmic surgery, and emergency surgical care.
Surgery may be recommended to treat illness, diseases or to improve your animal's long-term health and quality of life.
Our veterinarians will discuss all
available treatment options, explain the procedure, and provide guidance on recovery and aftercare to help achieve the best possible outcome.
Diagnostic & Minimally Invasive Procedures
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment.
Our clinic is equipped with modern diagnostic technology, allowing us to investigate illness, injury, and disease quickly and efficiently.
Our diagnostic services include
in-house laboratory testing, radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, and laparoscopy.
These advanced tools help our
veterinarians assess your animal's health, identify underlying conditions, and develop the most appropriate treatment plan.
Behaviour Services
Behavioural problems can affect an animal's health, welfare, and quality of life.
Our veterinarians can assess behavioural concerns, identify potential underlying medical causes, and provide practical advice and treatment options tailored to your animal's individual needs.
From anxiety to fear-related behaviours to aggression and inappropriate toileting, we work with owner's to develop effective
management strategies that support long-term wellbeing and strengthen the human-animal bond.
End-of-Life Care
Saying goodbye to a beloved animal is one of the most difficult decisions an owner can face.
Our team is committed to providing compassionate support and guidance during this challenging time, helping you make informed decisions based on your animal's comfort, dignity, and quality of life.
We offer quality-of-life assessments, palliative care, euthanasia services,
and assistance with aftercare arrangements.
Our veterinarians will take the time to discuss your options, answer your questions, and support you throughout the process with empathy and understanding.
Our goal is to ensure your animal's final days are as comfortable and peaceful as possible while providing care and support for the people who love them.
Wildlife Services
Our veterinarians are committed to supporting the welfare of injured native wildlife.
Animals presented to the clinic will receive an initial assessment to determine their condition and immediate treatment needs.
Where appropriate, wildlife may be stabilised and treated before being transferred to licensed wildlife carers for ongoing care, recovery, and eventual release back into the wild.
If you find injured wildlife, please contact the clinic for advice before bringing the animal in whenever possible.
Pharmacy & Over the Counter Medication
Our clinic stocks a wide range of prescription and over the counter medications to support the health and wellbeing of companion animals and livestock.
From parasite prevention and nutritional supplements for acute and chronic conditions, our team can provide advice on the most appropriate products for your animals' needs.
To ensure the safe and responsible use of medications, prescription medicines can only be dispensed by veterinarians in accordance with current regulations.
Many over-the-counter products, including flea and tick prevention, worming treatments, nutritional supplements, and selected healthcare products, are available without a prescription.
