What services can't a mobile vet provide?
Unfortunately, there will be times when we won't be able to provide every type of service your pet might require.
This might include:
- emergencies and severe or acute illnesses requiring more intensive treatment or hospitalisation
- sedation, anaesthesia and surgery, including desexing, dental work and other surgical procedures
- diagnostic imagining, including x-ray, ultrasound and CT/MRI
- some laboratory tests such as blood tests may be available, but at other times referral may be needed.
In these instances, we will work with you to help you find an alternative that suits you, and your pet's needs.
