Why Wellbeing Matters
- Preventative care is the foundation of a long, comfortable life for your companion.
- Early detection of health or behavioural changes often means simpler, gentler treatments and better outcomes.
- A focus on wellbeing improves your pet’s energy, mood and quality of life, and strengthens your bond.
- For pets in the Illawarra region, our locally tailored approach takes into account lifestyle, environment and regional risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions?
We Have Answers.
Our FAQs cover some of the most common queries we receive from pet owners, so you can feel informed and confident before your visit. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, just give us a call, we’re always happy to chat.
What is the difference between a wellness exam and a problem consultation?
A wellness exam focuses on proactive screening, lifestyle review and prevention, while a problem consultation is typically triggered by a specific issue or symptom.
How often should we book a wellbeing check?
For most pets, an annual wellness visit is ideal. For senior pets or those with health conditions, we may recommend every 6 months.
Can you help with weight issues and behaviour changes?
Yes. Our wellbeing services include tailored programmes for weight management, dietary optimisation and behavioural support.
Is wellness care only for dogs and cats?
No, we support all companion animals under our care, adjusting the approach to suit species, age and lifestyle.
What if my pet seems fine, is a wellness visit still worth it?
Absolutely. Many issues (dental, joint, dietary) develop quietly and are easier to tackle when detected early. Wellness visits help keep your pet ahead of the curve.
