Consultations
Your pets can’t talk, complain or point out to us at the first signs of a medical problem. Too easily are subtle early signs of disease missed and we can miss out on the chance for early intervention. A lot can happen in 12 months.
We recommend a complete physical examination by our veterinarians at least once a year for the young and fit, and twice a year for our less fit or older patients. The consultation consists of the physical exam and discussion, diagnostics if required, and a health plan for your pet.
Call us for advice from one of our Veterinary Nurses or to book a time with a nurse for free-of-charge weight check or help with giving a worm pill to your pet.
Referrals
Just as general practitioners can refer humans to have specialist treatment, we vets can refer your animals to a veterinarian with specialised skills. While we provide the primary and daily care for your pets, there are some cases that require advanced skills, expertise or equipment that we can not provide.
We actively refer to and work hand-in-hand with the following specialists in the area to achieve the best possible outcome for your pet.

The Referral Process:
We will discuss the referral as an appropriate course of action with you and refer you to the specialist. Once the specialist has received our referral they will be in contact with you to schedule an appointment. In some cases we may arrange the appointment while you are still with us in the clinic.
