Additional Services We Offer:
Grooming
Grroming is carried out mainly for therapeutic reasons, any
dog who needs to be sedated is immediately attended to, in order to
avoid unnecessary distress to the dog.
Boarding
Full Boarding facilities are available. In addition to having a
veterinarian daily in attendance, each dog has individual runs for
the day and individual night caging so that feeding can be
monitored, fighting prevented and mishaps such as mismating and
escape of the dog can be avoided.
Each dog/ cat is treated as an individual and individually
housed and exercised in fresh air and bedded down indoors at night
for maximum safety and the animals comfort. This is of course
labour intensive, but for best care of your valued pet, and a
hassle free stay while you the owners are away, we believe that
this is the only proper way to ensure maximum safety for your pets
welfare.
Faecal Worm Egg Count
To assist the farmer make proper decisioin regarding worm
drenching of his sheep, worm egg counting is routinely done on the
premises.
On-Farm Visits
Yes, we do on-farm visits. However, in Australia,
unlike the UK, where farms are usually within a short distance from
the practice, and the value of the individual animal is very high,
the cost of providing an on-farm service is expensive.
Petrol is costly, and distances are great so travel costs are
high. Also not all farmers have good facilities and farm accidents
are common. Vets often do work in unsafe facilities for the
handling and treating of farm animals, and to reduce the
considerable cost of on-farm service. Over the years we have
reduced the number of farm-calls by providing
approriate facilities here at our Regional Veterinary
Hospital.
Bringing your cow/sheep/pig/goat in for treatment benefits you the
client because you have the treatment done safely to both the
animal and the Veterinarian. The owners of the hospital have gone
to this expense to save you, the farmer, from the expense of travel
costs getting the Veterinarian to and from your farm. However, an
on-farm service is available if required.
At our Veterinary Facility you will find;
- loading ramps,
- cattle yards and
- crush under cover.
There is ample parking for trucks and horse floats. The property
has fully fenced paddocks and smaller yards for holding.
