The team at My Vets Irrawang & Thornton know how important your pet is to you and your family, so keeping them healthy is your top priority. Most of our pets have short lifespans, so we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care will help to identify and alleviate health problems before they become serious.
We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best.
Vaccinations and annual health checks are Important for protecting your pet from disease through vaccination, and detecting any other health issue or disease that may be detected on physical exam. Puppies and kittens are also more at risk of acquiring disease and require a series of booster shots for protection. During your vaccination appointment we can offer the following:
Desexing your pet not only prevents unwanted litters, but also has many health benefits for your pet. These benefits include a reduced risk of mammary tumours, pyometra (pus-filled uterus), phantom pregnancies, prostate problems, as well as reducing behavioural issues such as urine marking, roaming, and fighting.
Desexing your pet will involve a day in hospital, and general anaesthesia. What we offer:
Dental disease is a common occurrence in dogs and cats and requires life-long management and prevention. Some breeds are more susceptible to dental disease and factors such as tooth crowding, the age of the animal, and other genetic, concurrent disease or lifestyle factors can influence the development of dental disease in any individual.
When plaque and bacteria form on the teeth it leads to gingivitis, or inflammation of the gums. Dental scaling of the teeth can reverse gingivitis and prevent further progression of disease. When gingivitis is left untreated it can lead to periodontal disease, which is a more severe disease resulting in infection and inflammation of the tissues that surround and support the teeth. Left unchecked this leads to bone and tissue damage around the root, eventually causing loss of attachment, pocketing, gingival recession and bone resorption.

...then a behaviour consultation might be of help. When you book a behaviour consultation, our vets will support you with her understanding and a wealth of knowledge regarding animal behaviour. We will develop a collaborative plan that works best for your pet and family. We understand that behaviour training takes time and commitment, so that's why we will have check-ins and guide you along the way.
Already have an appointment? Please fill in the behavioural consultation pre-visit questionnaire. We ask that you return this to us three days before your behaviour consultation, or we will need to reschedule. Please answer the following questions to the best of your ability. Your answers will help us understand your pet better and allow us to develop a more personalised behavioural treatment plan. Please note that this questionnaire is only for behavioural consultations.
