Our Key Services

At Companion Animal Vet, we offer personalised veterinary care for your furry, feathered and floppy eared family members. From routine health checks to advanced surgical procedures, we’re here to support your pet’s health through every stage of life. Whether you’ve got a bouncy pup, a curious cat or a gentle rabbit, you can count on our experienced team to treat your companion with care and compassion.

Dog Care

Your dog is more than a pet, they’re part of the family. We’re here to help them live a long, happy and healthy life with tailored care for every stage, from puppyhood through to their senior years.

Cat Care

Cats are unique and deserve a vet who understands them. We offer gentle, cat-friendly care to put your feline at ease.

Rabbit Care

Rabbits are intelligent, gentle animals that require specialised care, and that’s exactly what we provide. Our team has a strong interest in rabbit medicine and surgery, offering a broad range of care.

Surgical

A healthy pet is a happy pet, and we’re passionate about supporting your companion’s overall wellbeing. From weight management and nutrition advice to parasite prevention and dental health, our preventative approach helps your pet thrive.

General Services

Whether it’s a health concern, a routine check-up or just peace of mind, our general veterinary services cover it all. We offer consultations for all species, tailored vaccination schedules, microchipping, pathology and diagnostic imaging.
