What happens in a consultation
Your vet will examine your pet, answer your questions and give you advice on their health and wellbeing. If something isn't right, they'll explain any tests that might help and work out a treatment and follow-up plan with you.
We'll take the time to understand your circumstances, explain your options and recommend an approach that's right for you and your pet.
When to book
Book a consultation for a health check or vaccination, or if you notice something unusual, such as:
- vomiting or diarrhoea
- weight loss or a poor appetite
- drinking more than usual
- stiffness or limping
- new lumps or bumps
- eye problems
- coughing or sneezing.
Choosing the right appointment
- Standard consultation (about 20 minutes): for check-ups, vaccinations, follow-ups and single problems.
- Complex consultation (about 30 minutes): for more than one problem, older pets, ear problems and ongoing conditions.
All consultations need an appointment. Because we're busy, there can be a wait of a few days. If your pet needs urgent care, call us on 03 9328 3021 or come to our emergency department.
