General health care

Our vets excel in handling everything from skin conditions, eye problems, and lump checks to behavioural issues, lameness, age related ailments and complex medical cases. We also love to see your pets at the clinic when they’re in for their yearly health check and vaccinations, or just to say hi!

Having a sick pet is a stressful time for everyone, therefore we take the time to hear your concerns and work collaboratively to craft a tailored treatment plan. Our approach is holistic and methodical, ensuring every step is clear and achievable. Because for us, ensuring both you and your pet feel supported and informed is a priority in the journey to optimal health.

In the realm of veterinary medicine, we recognise the potential confusion that you may encounter, especially given the continual influx of new products and recommendations. At Vets on the River, we act as your guides, simplifying the information to what truly matters and is practical for both you and your pet.

Surgery

Navigating surgery can be an anxiety-inducing experience for both pets and their owners. Rest assured, our experienced and compassionate vets are here not just to perform procedures but to help ease your nerves.

Whether it’s a routine desexing or lump removal; or the terrain of more complex procedures like foreign body removal, splenectomy, or cystotomy, our team is well-versed.

In cases demanding specialist attention, we seamlessly link you with expert care through our referral services. Alternatively, for added convenience, we can tap into the expertise of our travelling membership level surgeon. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are our top priorities!

Diagnostics

Our in-house blood testing machines are the unsung heroes of veterinary world. They’re not just for detecting illness; they’re our go-to for wellness checks, pre-anaesthesia assessments, geriatric evaluations, and monitoring chronic conditions with results available during your consultation.

In conjunction with our pathology machines, we are well equipped with digital radiology and ultrasonography which can help identify the direct cause of an illness or symptom, eliminate potential concerns, or help form an overall picture of what could be troubling your pet.

Dentistry

Say farewell to unpleasant pet breath and hello to a healthier, happier furry friend. We’ve witnessed the transformation of dental care for pets over the years, understanding its profound impact on their overall health. Neglecting dental health is now in the past, as our understanding of the impacts of poor dental health on the heart, kidney, and liver deepen.

Step into our purpose-built dental suite, where your pet can experience a range of dental procedures. Whether it’s a routine scale and polish or a surgical extraction, our suite is equipped to handle it all. Our dental radiology, designed specifically for animals allows us to peek beyond the gum line, uncovering potential issues lurking in the roots of their teeth.

As part of our commitment to your pet’s dental health, we offer a personalised dental chart by grading each tooth and assessing their gum health. A customised plan is then crafted for continuous preventive care. Because a healthy smile goes way beyond just pearly whites!

Housecall

Our housecall visits play a crucial role in your pet’s healthcare, especially when anxiety or age-related challenges make clinic visits difficult. We pride ourselves in tailoring each visit to the needs of your pet, and adapting our approach to ensure that both you and your pet feel comfortable.

For our senior pets, we prioritise palliative care, ensuring the best quality of life during their geriatric years. It’s our way of giving back to these loyal friends who’ve enriched our lives.

In the difficult time of bidding farewell to your pet, opting for our at-home service can offer a more serene and comforting environment. We understand the sensitivity of the moment and aim to provide a relaxed setting during this challenging transition.
