SERVICES WE PROVIDE

"Quality, Compassionate Care for your Pet"

CONSULTATION

Every pet seen at our clinic in North Lakes receives a detailed examination. During this examination we work through problems and assess general health of your pet. We see pets for a range of ailments including skin disease, lameness, vomiting, coughing, osteoarthritis, obstetrics and many more.

VETERINARY DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES

At Companion Vet Care we offer in house laborotory services including cytology (looking at cells), blood testing, urine testing and faecal testing. For more advanced blood testing and other pathology services we can submit samples to external laborotories with results return often within 1-3 days depending on the test.

SOFT TISSUE AND ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY

From stitch-ups and lump removals, desexings and airway surgeries to treatment of cruciate ligament rupture and broken bones we offer these surgical services at our North Lakes veterinary clinic. In some cases referral will be offered if we feel it in the best interest of your pet.

Dental disease is a prevalent problem amongst our pets and ranges from smelly breath to severe periodontal disease. We have the facilities at our North Lakes practice to assess and treat a wide range of dental conditions. We will also be offering dental radiology very soon!
