Services
Pet Vaccinations
We provide comprehensive vaccination programs for dogs, cats, and rabbits to prevent serious infectious diseases. Our veterinary team offers tailored vaccination schedules based on your pet's age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Regular booster vaccinations help maintain immunity against life-threatening conditions like distemper, leptospirosis, and feline leukaemia virus.
Neutering
Our neutering services include traditional and laparoscopic spay procedures for female pets, and castration for male animals. This routine surgery helps prevent unwanted litters while providing health benefits like reduced cancer risk. We offer post-operative care and guidance on managing your pet's recovery process.
Dog Grooming
The Woofy Wash provides professional dog grooming services with optional sedation for anxious pets. Our experienced groomers offer full grooming packages including bathing, clipping, and styling, along with nail trimming, ear cleaning, and gland expression. We provide free hairstyle consultations and offer pickup/drop-off services for client convenience.
Wellness Screening
Our comprehensive wellness screening includes blood and urine tests, physical examinations, and preventive care assessments for mature pets. This early detection program helps identify potential health issues like kidney disease and arthritis before symptoms appear. The 30-minute appointment includes dietary advice and vaccination status review.
Pet Bereavement
We provide compassionate support for pet owners facing end-of-life decisions for their animals. Our qualified pet health counsellors offer guidance through the euthanasia process and aftercare options including private cremation. We also provide emotional support resources for families coping with pet loss.
