Is home veterinary care safe for my pet?

Yes, mobile vets follow the same standards of care as clinic-based services. For many animals, being treated at home is less stressful and allows for a more accurate assessment of their behaviour and health. It’s particularly beneficial for pets that are elderly, anxious or recovering from surgery.

What types of animals can mobile vets treat?

Mobile vets can care for dogs, cats, small pets like rabbits or guinea pigs, and even livestock such as sheep, goats or horses. However, the services available may vary based on your animal's size, behaviour, and condition—so it’s best to confirm when you call to book.

Are emergency services available through mobile vet visits?

Most mobile vet services focus on non-emergency care like health checks, wound treatment and ongoing health management. In urgent situations, it's usually quicker to go directly to a clinic. If you're unsure whether your case is an emergency, call the clinic immediately for advice.

How far in advance should I book a mobile appointment?

Booking ahead is recommended, especially during busy periods. While some same-day visits may be possible, most mobile appointments are scheduled in advance to allow time for travel and preparation. When calling, share any health concerns so the team can plan accordingly.

Experienced Care for Horses, Cattle & More

We provide practical, reliable veterinary care for large animals across the Mid North Coast, including equine and production species. Our mobile service helps reduce the stress and risk involved in transport, especially for injured, anxious or unwell animals. By working onsite, we’re also better able to assess environment-related issues and provide immediate, targeted recommendations.

Our large animal services include:

Vaccinations & herd health planning
Equine dentistry & performance assessments
Pregnancy testing & reproductive management
Lameness exams & hoof condition advice
Parasite control & nutritional guidance
Basic wound care & minor injury treatment
Behavioural assessments & handling support

Each visit is tailored to the species, setting and concern involved. We take the time to understand your animals’ routine, discuss any recent changes, and work calmly to ensure safe handling. Whether it’s a single horse or a mixed-species property, we’re committed to delivering professional care with minimal disruption.

If more advanced diagnostics, imaging or surgical intervention is required, we’ll explain the options clearly and arrange any follow-up through our Diamond Beach clinic.

To discuss your large animal care needs or schedule a visit, contact our team on (02) 6559 2277. We’re here to help you support animal health across the Mid North Coast.
