We believe that pet owners should have the option of good quality veterinary care at home at little or no extra cost when compared to going to the vet clinic. Our vets are all registered, experienced, professional and compassionate who love to help pets. Our customers give us a superb rating.

Yes, at-home vet services can be just as thorough as clinic visits. Mobile vets are equipped with the necessary tools and equipment to perform comprehensive examinations, diagnostics, and treatments in the comfort of your own home. They are experienced professionals who are trained to provide high-quality veterinary care. While the setting may be different, mobile vets offer the same level of thoroughness and attention to detail as clinic visits. They can conduct physical examinations, administer vaccinations, perform diagnostic tests, provide medications, and offer personalised treatment plans for your pet's specific needs.

The cost of a thorough at-home clinical pet examination by one of our professional, caring vets during weekdays 7:00am - 5:00pm starts from only $159. Medications, lab work (such as blood tests), evenings (5:00pm - 8:00pm) and after-hours (8:00pm - 11:00pm), weekends and public holidays have additional surcharges to this standard visit price.

Yes, we offer great savings for extra pets on the same visit. Please ask our customer service team when you book, or see the current discounts when you book online.

We take Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit and debit cards, as well as Vet Pay and Zip Pay.

Yes, we can also do vaccinations, microchipping, titer testing, nail clippings, DNA tests and wellness blood tests. Please note these will incur additional charges.

Yes, there are a few things you can do to prepare before the vet arrives for an at-home pet examination. You should:
  • Gather relevant information about your pet's medical history, including any previous diagnoses, medications, vaccinations, and recent test results
  • Make a list of any specific concerns or symptoms you've noticed in your pet
  • Prepare a quiet and comfortable area in your home where the vet can perform the examination
  • If you have other pets at home ensure that they are in a separate room
  • and have some treats or rewards on hand to help keep your pet calm and co-operative

You can use our Telepet video call or voice chat service to talk to one of our experienced and trusted vets who can guide you on whether you need an at-home sick pet examination. It's convenient, with costs starting at only $69, and our vet will address any concerns you may have.

We serve dogs and cats.

No, our vets do not perform surgery at home as it requires a sterile and controlled environment. If surgery is required, we partner with local clinics and will refer you to one of our partners.

We meticulously check every vet's name, address, Vet ID, degree, identification documents (drivers licence) and their photograph against the relevant vet board authority.

If your pet requires further diagnostic tests, the vet will discuss the specific tests needed based on the initial examination findings. These tests may include blood work, imaging (such as X-rays or ultrasounds), urine or fecal analysis, or other specialised tests depending on the suspected condition. The vet will explain the purpose of the tests and their potential benefits. They will guide you on the next steps, which may involve scheduling the tests at one of our partner vet clinics or co-ordinating with a diagnostic facility. The goal is to gather additional information to help accurately diagnose your pet's condition and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for their well-being.

During the booking you will be able to provide your preferred day and timeslot. We will then try to find an available vet to suit you. We will always try and get to you when you need us (even if it is the same day). Sometimes for urgent cases it might be difficult to find a vet, so it is better to give us as much notice as possible.

Yes we do. We offer payment options with Vet Pay or Zip Pay. Contact us to find out more.

Please tell us ahead of time if your pet is aggressive, as we need to know this. Our vet will ensure everyone's safety, including their own, yours and your pet's. They will take appropriate measures to handle the situation professionally and safely. This may involve using specialised handling techniques, employing muzzles or restraints, or temporarily sedating the pet if necessary. The vet's primary concern is to ensure the well-being of all parties involved while still providing necessary care.

Our mobile vets are equipped to handle an extremely wide range of medical conditions and provide various treatments at home. Common conditions that can be treated at home include minor injuries, skin infections, ear infections, urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, gastrointestinal issues, allergies, arthritis management, and chronic diseases such as diabetes or kidney disease. However, the scope of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the condition. In cases where specialised equipment or facilities are required, the vet may provide initial assessment and guidance at home and recommend further care at a clinic, or refer you to a specialist if necessary.

Yes, our mobile vets are experienced specialists in performing compassionate end-of-life services. We also provide aftercare services including gently, carefully and with utmost respect, handling and transporting your pet following euthanasia; cremation (either with friends or private); having your beloved pet's ashes scattered in the crematorium gardens; having your pet's ashes returned to you in a lovely container, tube or an urn; and paw prints and other memorabilia.

Most of the time our vet will carry medications with them if they believe your pet may require them. This is why it is important to provide as many details about your pet’s condition during the booking time. If the vet does not have the right medication on hand, they will provide you with a prescription.
