A yearly nose-to-tail examination is the visit where most problems get caught while they are still small, still comfortable and still inexpensive to treat.

Vaccination & prevention
Vaccination
Core and lifestyle vaccinations for dogs, cats and more, scheduled around your pet and the way they actually live rather than a generic calendar.

Everyday care
Pet Wellness Clinics
Nurse-led clinics for the things that need checking between appointments — weight, nutrition, teeth, nails and parasite prevention — without the cost of a full consultation.

Vaccination & prevention
Microchipping
Permanent identification in a few seconds, registered on a national database so a lost pet on the Coast can be traced back to you rather than to a shelter.
Explore service -
Diagnostics & imaging
Diagnostics
In-house pathology, digital radiography and ultrasound mean most answers arrive during your visit rather than days later, and you are not driving to Brisbane for a result.

A regenerative option for arthritis and joint disease, discussed alongside the alternatives so you can weigh it properly rather than being sold it.

Exporting Your Pet
Export paperwork is unforgiving and the timelines are long.
Explore service -
Puppies & kittens
Puppy Preschool
Four weeks of socialisation and training in the building your puppy will keep coming back to, so the vet stops being a scary place before it ever becomes one.
Explore service -
Grooming & boarding
Grooming
Clips, baths and nail trims by staff who will also tell us if they find a lump, a sore ear or a grass seed while they are working.
Explore service -
Grooming & boarding

Senior pets & end of life
