Housecalls
We offer housecalls to local clients and their pets depending on demand and our availability. We endeavor to organise home-euthanasias throughout the week when necessary, at a time that is most appropriate for clients and patients.
Weight Management
Obesity can significantly impact an animal’s quality of life and cause serious health issues. It you have a fat cat or a pudgy pooch, talk to us about a weigh loss program for your pet We’ll work with you to develop a plan to get your pet back to a healthy weight safely.
Wildlife
We welcome injured and homeless wildlife and they will be treated at no cost. Please ensure the animal is kept warm and safe before bringing them to the hospital and note the address of where the animal was found (if releasable tit will be to this same spot if practicable). For further advice please call Sydney Wildlife on 9413 4300 or visit their website http://www.sydneywildlife.org.au/. Please remember that it’s illegal for a member of the public to provide ongoing care of a wild animal therefore once we have treated and cleared the animal they will be passed to a certified wildlife carer who will assess and prepare them for release.
D.I.Y. Coin-Operated Dog Bath
What do cars and pooches have in common? They both get dirty! That’s why we have a safe and hygienic bath option here at the hospital that’s as easy as a coin-operated car wash. Located at the front of the hospital (is this correct??), is our Tru Blu dog bath which is suitable for dogs of all sizes. It uses all-natural, highest quality, bio-degradable shampoo, conditioner, and flea and tick rinse. Ask us to show you how to use it, next time you’re in.
