Choosing Tips

How to choose the right vet

How often should my pet have a checkup?+
Healthy adult pets: annual checkup. Senior pets (7+ years): every 6 months for early detection of chronic conditions. Puppies and kittens need multiple visits per the vaccination schedule.
When is it an emergency?+
Seek immediate care for: difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting/diarrhea over 12 hours, seizures, inability to stand, ingestion of toxins (chocolate, grapes, lilies, etc.), severe bleeding, eye injury, swollen abdomen.
Can I only see a vet when needed?+
We recommend establishing an ongoing vet relationship. Regular visits give the vet a health baseline, enabling faster diagnosis when problems arise. Preventive care costs far less than treating late-stage disease.
How much does a vet visit cost in Australia?+
Standard consultation ~$60-$90, vaccinations ~$50-$80 each, desexing $300-$600, emergency visits typically start at $200, complex surgeries can reach thousands. This is where pet insurance proves its value.
How do I find a 24-hour emergency vet?+
Brisbane's main 24-hour emergency hospital is Animal Emergency Service (Moorooka) with branches across the city. Find the one nearest to you in advance and save the address to your phone.
