East Bundaberg Veterinary Hospital Newsletter
Winter 2026
As the cooler months arrive, the team at East Bundaberg Veterinary Hospital would like to thank all our wonderful clients for their continued support throughout the year so far.
Welcoming Our Growing Team
Our new practice owners, Dr Leroy and Dr Bridgette, have now settled into Bundaberg life and are thoroughly enjoying becoming part of the local community. They look forward to meeting and caring for all of your beloved pets.
Earlier this year we also welcomed Dr Naomi to the clinic. Dr Naomi is available for all your pet care needs and has quickly become a valued member of our veterinary team.
And of course, Dr Randall is still with us and available for appointments every Tuesday and Wednesday.
Operation Wanted Desexing Program – June to August
We are proud to once again be part of the RSPCA Operation Wanted Program running from June through to August.
Pet owners can now register online through the RSPCA website. Once you receive your code, simply contact our clinic and provide the code to our team so we can arrange your pet’s desexing procedure at a reduced cost.
This fantastic program helps support responsible pet ownership while making desexing more affordable for our community.
Bookings are essential and spots fill quickly, so please contact us early to secure your place.
Winter Grooming Appointments Filling Fast
Even though the weather is cooling down, our long-haired furry friends still need regular grooming to stay comfortable and healthy during winter.
Regular grooming helps prevent matting, skin problems, and keeps coats manageable throughout the colder months.
We currently have limited grooming appointments remaining, so please give us a call to secure your booking.
Surgical Services
At East Bundaberg Veterinary Hospital, we offer both routine and advanced surgical procedures to help keep your pets healthy, active, and comfortable.
Our advanced surgical services include stifle surgeries such as TPLO, De Angelis and patella repairs, BOAS surgery for pets experiencing breathing difficulties, fracture repairs, and a range of other complex soft tissue procedures.
With modern equipment and experienced veterinarians, we are proud to provide many advanced surgical options locally, reducing the need for referral and allowing your pet to receive exceptional care close to home.
If you would like to discuss any surgical concerns, please book an appointment with Dr Leroy, Dr Bridgette, or Dr Randall. Our team will be happy to assess your pet and discuss the most appropriate treatment options available.
Home Visits & Home Euthanasia
We understand that some pets and families are more comfortable being cared for in their own environment.
We are able to offer selected home visits as well as home euthanasia services, allowing your beloved pet to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own home during difficult times.
Please contact our team to discuss availability and how we can help support you and your pet.
Wellness Program Now Available
Our Wellness Program is now up and running again.
The program is designed to cover all of your pet’s preventative healthcare needs over a 12-month period, helping spread the cost of routine care while ensuring your pet stays happy and healthy all year round.
Payment options are available with either monthly instalments or an upfront payment option.
Come in and speak with Lynelle for more information and we can provide you with all the details about how the Wellness Program can benefit both you and your pet.
