Visit by our Vet is very similar to going to a clinic. Our Vet may ask you to complete a new client form and discuss your pet’s history and current issue.

Additional charges apply for an extended consultation, drugs, injections, procedures or other products.

Any concessions for pensioners?

Offcourse, Old age pensioners receive a discount of $10.00 on the House Visit.

My pet just needs a vaccination; will I still pay for your consultation?

What if my pet needs hospitalisation?

As a mobile practice, we can offer limited services. If you feel your pet needs emergency care or hospitalisation, you should be calling your nearest 24-hour Vet surgery. As we cannot attend emergencies straight away we request you not to waste time to contact us as it may be critical to your pet’s health.

Vets on Wheels do not take responsibility for your pet’s deteriorating health while you are waiting for a pre-arranged appointment with our Vet. You should monitor your pet’s condition and either consult Vets on Wheels OR contact your nearest 24-hour animal clinic or hospital.

If during a home consultation, it is determined that your animal needs hospitalisation, we can assist with transport to the vet hospital of your choice. Our obligation ceases at the front door of the selected hospital. You are then responsible directly to the hospital for any fees the hospital may charge for services rendered to your animal.
