Services and Pricing
-
We can treat your pet in the comfort of their own home, which can be less stressful for both your pet and you. Our sick pet house-call visit can be more convenient for you as you do not need to take time off work or rearrange your schedule to bring your pet to a clinic. Our house call consultations allow 15 minutes for a thorough physical examination and to address any queries you have.
When booked on your suburbs day, travel is complimentary in town (see FAQ for your suburbs day). Consultation prices start at $110 (usually $160) when booked online.
Sheep, goats and cattle consults start at $160 (consult) and travel ($150 per hour until physical examination begins).
-
With at home blood tests in conjunction with a house call consultation, we can provide reduced stress for pets, faster results, personalised care, and cost-effectiveness. By catching health issues early on, mobile vet blood testing can prevent more costly treatments down the road.
Our laboratory provides the fastest turnaround (usually 1 business day) and complimentary specialist recommendations by request.
We also provide a range of same-day in-house tests including SDMA (kidney), Cushing’s, thyroid, pancreatitis, heartworm, and more starting from $77.
-
During a house call consultation or vaccination, we can microchip and register your pet. This is a legal requirement in Queensland and helps reunite you with your pet if it is lost or stolen.
Discounts are available for multiple pets and litters.
Without a consultation or vaccination, microchipping is $91.
-
We provide cat and dog vaccinations in the comfort of your own home. By choosing a mobile vet for your pet's vaccinations, you can help ensure that your pet is protected against preventable diseases and can enjoy a healthy life.
Discounts are available for multiple pets and litters. Travel is included in town (i.e. 4655 suburbs). Yearly vaccine prices are $165 (usually $199) when booked online.
-
After an initial consultation, we can provide Beransa or Solensia pain management in the comfort of your home for the next 6 months. Home injections can provide a more comfortable and familiar setting for both your pet and you.
Solensia injections are $158.58.
-
Our 15-minute phone consultations provide convenient access to professional local veterinary advice and guidance for your pet's health concerns without the need for a physical visit. Please text to confirm availability prior to booking. Book online here (under Sick Pets and Emergencies)
-
Home euthanasias allow your friend to pass away in a comfortable and familiar environment, surrounded by loved ones, and avoiding the stress and anxiety of a clinic visit. It also offers a more personalised and private experience for you to say goodbye to your pet in their own way and time. Choosing to euthanise a pet at home can provide a peaceful and dignified end-of-life experience for the pet. Our euthanasias allow 30-45 minutes to give us as much time as possible to say goodbye to your friend.
Optional extras include transfer to Forever Ours Pet Crematorium for cremation (from $99 on weekdays 8-4pm). The transfer cost includes a premium transfer bag for a dignified farewell. We liaise directly with on your behalf and will provide information on how to proceed. We can also organise burial (from $66 for a small dog or cat).
Travel is complimentary if booked on your suburbs day.
*For the comfort of larger pets (over 40kg), an additional $50 sedation fee applies.

A yearly heartworm prevention (Proheart) injection can be administered during a house call consultation. Prices start from $60 for a puppy at 12 weeks and $97.90 for an adult dog weighing less than 5kg with any consult or vaccine.
For hassle-free year-long protection against paralysis ticks and fleas, we offer Bravecto Quantum injections. Say goodbye to monthly treatments and keep your furry friend safe. Prices start from $102.50 for a 5kg dog with any consult or vaccine. This injection is strongly recommended for high-risk suburbs such as Craignish/ Dundowran.

Once we arrive, the full euthanasia procedure will be explained to you based on your interest and comfort level.
The euthanasia process begins with a 2-in-1 sedation and pain relief injection (which may have a mild sting) to provide a fear-free, pain-free, and stress-free experience. The sedation will work in about 10 minutes and your pet will drift off to sleep.
Once fully asleep and comfortable, an intravenous catheter/ cannula is placed. In very rare cases where your pet has heart disease, dehydration, vomiting, diarrhoea, or poor blood pressure, it may require more than 1 attempt to establish intravenous access (i.e. place a catheter).
Once you are ready, the euthanasia medication will be given and we will give you space to be with your pet at this time.
If you have chosen a cremation package, we will arrange to transport your pet for their aftercare service using a premium transfer bag for a dignified farewell.
