Veterinary Care in the Comfort of Your Own Home

Our veterinarians understand that some pets feel more comfortable at home, which is why we’re pleased to offer house calls or ‘home visits’ for your convenience. Whether you’re in Wingham, Marlee, Taree, Tinonee, Old Bar, Comboyne, Harrington, Nabiac or surrounding areas, we can come directly to your home to provide quality care in an environment where your pet feels safe and secure.

Home visits can be particularly beneficial for pets who experience stress during travel, older animals, or those with mobility issues.

Why make a house call?

Some owners prefer to have a house call rather than bring their dog or cat into the clinic for several reasons:

Older pets:

Some older dogs can be overweight and have reduced mobility due to sore arthritic joints, making it very hard for them to get in and out of the car. If the dog is very large, it can difficult for owners to lift them into the car and so in these circumstances, it can be better for your pet to have a vet visit your house for their examination.

Stressed pets:

Many pets (cats in particular), don’t like travelling in the car or in their cat carrier and can become extremely stressed before they arrive at the vet clinic. Sometimes these pets are much easier to thoroughly examine in their home environment.

Mobility issues

We understand that not everyone has a car or the ability to bring their pet into the clinic – this should not be an impediment to getting high-quality veterinary care and we are more than happy to assist you and have a vet come out to your home.

Home Euthanasia

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet can be very distressing and we are mindful of helping to make this already difficult task as gentle as possible. Many owners prefer to have this done at home, where their pet can feel as safe and loved as possible. Our aim is for your pet to be as calm and peaceful as possible and we welcome any questions or special requests you may have at this difficult time. Please refer to our At-Home Euthanasia & Palliative Care page for more information on this service.

We also offer designated Run Days to assist rural clients with travel costs.

Our friendly team travels to Taree, Coopernook, Hannam Vale, Oxley Island, Mitchells Island, Harrington, Elands, Bobin & surrounds on scheduled days to assist you with all your veterinary needs.

Run days are not just for large animals such as livestock and horses. When hospital facilities are not required, we can also perform house-calls and farm visits for small animals such as dogs and cats.

We currently offer regular runs to the following locations:

Krambach & Nabiac: Every Tuesday

Harrington/Taree/Cundletown/Coopernook: Every Wednesday

Comboyne: Every Thursday

Old Bar/Pampoolah/Oxley/Mitchells Island: Fourth Thursday of every month

If we need to perform further testing we can take samples back to the clinic and then call you with the results.

In some circumstances your pet may require hospitalisation at the clinic and dependent on the size of your pet, we may be able to assist with bringing them back to the clinic for this after their house-call consultation. If your pet is extremely unwell and is likely to require emergency treatment, we will generally recommend they be brought in to the clinic where we have access to life-saving equipment. If this is not possible we will endeavour to assist you in getting your pet the treatment they need.
