We're here to help with:

• Health checks
• Flea and worm treatment

• Information about positive pet ownership and de-sexing

Important notes:

Please comply with staff instructions, which may include directions such as:

• waiting in line
• ensuring puppies (16 weeks or less) are carried at all times with no floor contact at the event venue
• maintaining a distance of 2 metres between animals at the event (exception if from same family/group)
• following all safety and guidance instructions from our staff

If your pet has previously demonstrated reactive or aggressive behaviour in a veterinary setting, please advise us beforehand by emailing outreach@rspcavic.org.au, so we can proactively plan and minimise your pet's stress during their appointment. 

Whilst our vets will do a complimentary health check to ensure your pet is fit to vaccinate, if your pet has any severe medical conditions or major health concerns, you will be referred to local vet clinics for veterinary advice and medical treatment to ensure your pet gets the dedicated care and attention it needs.

* Due to current state-wide cat vaccine shortages, vaccinations are available for dogs only at this time. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.

Where possible, please ensure 48 hours' notice for appointment cancellation.
