A little more about us:
We actively promote preventative medicine, particularly in:
* Animal behaviour (running 4-7 puppy classes per week),
* Orthopaedics (PennHIP and JPS),
* Nutrition and dental care, amongst other things.
We have two excellent ultrasonographers who receive referrals from other practices, a busy in-house laboratory, and do many interesting procedures and surgeries every day. We refer to an excellent team of specialists within Canberra and have both eye and dermatology specialists visiting on a regular basis.
We operate an after-hours emergency service from our premises, ensuring our in-patients get the best of overnight care and our clients have the peace of mind of on-site out of hours attention. It also means no out of hours duties for vets and nurses!
