Meet Toast 💚
Once a stray kitten, Toast was found near a busy road and brought to our North Parramatta clinic. Despite ongoing diarrhoea, she remained a playful and loving cat. While we trialled treatments and different foods, we knew a home would be best for her.
Now adopted by a wonderful couple, Toast is thriving in her forever home! To support her ongoing care, we’ve provided a Healthy Pets Plus membership to help her new owners with her gut health journey and ongoing medical costs.
Welcome home, Toast! 🐾

Dental disease is not just something experienced by senior pets with younger pets showing signs.

If your pet shows signs of bad breath, discoloured teeth or excessive drooling they may be in the early stages of dental disease.

So next time you're booking your dental appointment, remember to also book your furry friend in to get theirs checked as well.

Until 30 September, get $50 off a stage 1 dental scale & polish at your local Greencross Vets clinic. T&Cs apply.

If you live in these affected areas, then please speak to your local vet who will be able to advise you regarding vaccination for your dog. Please keep an eye on your dog and if they show these symptoms, then please call your local vet or nearest pet emergency hospital immediately.

Dear clients

We wish to thank you all for your patience during this time. As you may be aware, our Greencross Capalaba clinic had to close due to the damage of ex- tropical cyclone Fred but we are so happy to inform you that we will be reopening FRIDAY 14th March. As we need to go over maintenance and safety checks, we will only be open for consultations and hospital treatments for patients that require further care. We will be resuming our surgery services next week.

Our team are very excited to be back under the same roof and providing the best care for your pets. We hope you are all safe and well and we look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

If you require an appointment, you can book online from the convenience of your home, or call us in the morning when we open at 7am.

See you soon
~ Love the Team at Greencross Vets Capalaba

‼️ TRIGGER WARNING ‼️

Sadly, a kitty (unknown age/sex etc) has been brought into our clinic as it was found on the side of the road - we suspect vehicular trauma from the injuries sustained 💔

Due to the severity of the injuries, we cannot find a microchip and therefore unable to track down the kitty’s owner. This was his/her collar.

If anyone recognises this collar, please contact our clinic asap. The Air Tag has been buzzing so we know that her/his family have been looking for their loved one 💔💔

Please spread the word as we know there is a worried pet parent/s out there.

LOCATION: Redlands City Council (possibly around Capalaba, QLD)

We open at 7am tomorrow, or an email can be sent to [email protected]
