Vet In Warragal | Compassionate Vet Care in Gippsland

A proactive approach to your pet’s health is the best way to ensure a vibrant life. Our comprehensive pet wellness programs and health checks are designed to protect your pet from the specific health risks found in the Warragul area and the wider Gippsland climate. Regular wellness exams allow for early detection of potential issues, preventing serious diseases before they develop. Our “Best Mates” program is a preventative healthcare plan that provides significant savings on routine veterinary expenses, making it easier to keep your pet in peak condition.

Desexing your pet is a responsible choice that offers significant health and community benefits. Spaying or neutering can prevent certain types of cancers and reduce unwanted animal behaviour like roaming. By preventing unplanned litters, you also help reduce the strain on community resources, a key goal outlined in the Baw Baw Shire Council’s Domestic Animal Management Plan. We ensure the procedure is safe and comfortable for your pet.

A microchip is your lost pet’s best chance for a swift and safe reunion. In Victoria, microchipping is a legal requirement for all cats and dogs by 12 weeks of age. We provide a comprehensive microchipping service that helps you comply with Baw Baw Shire Council registration and ensures your contact details are correctly recorded. Making sure that if your pet is found and taken to the Shire Municipal Pound, they can be identified and returned home to you as quickly as possible.

Vaccinations play an important part in being a responsible dog owner and protecting your pet from infectious diseases. We provide essential C5 vaccinations, which protect against dangerous illnesses including Canine Cough and the highly contagious Canine Parvovirus.

A recent, severe outbreak in 2024 of Parvovirus in the nearby Latrobe Valley has highlighted the critical importance of up-to-date immunisations. This painful and often fatal disease can spread easily through the environment. Our tailored puppy programs ensure your new family member is safely immunised before they begin exploring our beautiful local parks and community spaces.

Protecting your pet from parasites is a year-round responsibility, especially in the unique Gippsland environment. Our region is home to the dangerous Paralysis Tick (Ixodes holocyclus), which can be fatal if left untreated.

Critically, pet owners should be aware that Gippsland experiences a bimodal tick season, with two distinct peaks of activity: one in Autumn (February-May) and another in Spring (September-December). We provide expert advice on the most effective preventative products to protect your pet from paralysis ticks, fleas, and heartworm.

Our highly skilled veterinary surgeons offer a full range of surgical procedures in our modern, purpose-built veterinary hospital. Our veterinary specialties include both routine and complex soft tissue and orthopaedic emergencies, ensuring your pet is in compassionate and capable hands. We adhere to the highest standards of veterinary medical care, utilising advanced anaesthetic monitoring and sophisticated pain management protocols to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort throughout their procedure and recovery.

To protect your feline friends, we provide essential F3 and FIV vaccinations. These immunisations protec your cat or kitten against diseases that are prevalent within the Warragul region. Booking a vaccination appointment is a simple and effective step to ensure their long-term health and wellbeing.

More than 80% of pets suffer from hidden dental disease. Bad breath can be a sign of serious problems lurking below the gumline, such as painful root abscesses and bone loss. Our Warragul veterinary practice is equipped with advanced dental diagnostics, including dental X-rays, which allow us to see what a standard clean misses. A thorough dental health plan is a vital part of your pet’s overall wellness and comfort.

Navigating a pet insurance plan can be complex. Our team can assist you with the necessary documentation for your insurance claims and provide guidance on the benefits of pet insurance for managing unexpected veterinary costs. We support our clients in making informed decisions about their pet’s healthcare coverage.
