  • What happens when I visit the vet?

    If it's our first time seeing your pet one of our team members will ask you some husbandry questions when you arrive. 

    We will then direct you to one of our waiting rooms depending on the species of pet you have.


    During your appointment with one of our vets your pet will receive a full health check and we will discuss any concerns you have.

  • Do you treat injured wildlife?

    Yes, all vets are required to provide first-aid to injured wildlife.


    If you bring injured wildlife to us we require you to sign a form stating that you understand you are signing the animal over to our care and we cannot return the animal to you.

  • Can you microchip my pet?

    Yes, we strongly advise microchipping for all pets.

    We can microchip most birds, reptiles and mammals.


    Some animals may require a short sedation to safely implant the microchip with minimal stress.

  • Do you have parking?

    Yes, we have several allocated parking spots outside the practice. Please park in any bay marked with the number 13.

    If a space isn't available please chat to our reception team and they can advise you on where to park.
