My pet is unwell and I need to visit the vet, is there anything I should bring?

You can help your pet have a stress free visit to the vet by doing a few things. Cats should be placed in a secure cat cage. If you do not have a cat cage ask us about using a loan cage. Dogs should always be placed on a lead before entering the clinic. If you arrive at our carpark and realise you have left your dog's lead at home, just pop into see our receptionist and we will provide you with a lead. If you are concerned about how your pet may interact with others just let us know before hand and we can arrange for your pet to wait in a private area of our clinic.

If your pet is unwell, please observe them as closely as possible prior to your visit. Take notice of any changes in their behaviour, in appetite, difficulties getting around, odours, excessive drinking or urination, coughing, weight changes, disorientation, new lumps or bumps, excessive scratching, vomiting or diarrhoea.

If your vet has requested a urine sample, follow our instructions on how to take a urine sample at home

What is the best way to transport my bird to the vet ?

Take your bird in thier own cage without removing any toys. Leave food in the cage but remove water. Do not clean the cage, as valuable diagnostic evidence may be destroyed. Take with you any remedies or medicine you have given at home. Be prepared to answer questions in relation to the wellness of your pet, feeding, environment and length of illness.
