Forbes Street Vets

Forbes Street Vets Forbes Street Vets is a leader in its field, providing you the client, with highly skilled services and client support and care. We do aim to be competitive.

Forbes Street Vets offers a wide range of high quality services including small animal consultations, vaccinations, orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery, animal chiropractic and acupuncture, behaviour consultations, radiography and ultrasonography. All this is delivered with compassion and a friendly smile. Fees & Payment

We aim to advise you (where possible) of various treatment options and assoc

iated costs before proceeding with any treatment or procedure. Please be aware that we cannot give quotes for treatments but can give you an ESTIMATE before proceeding (however this is difficult in emergency situations). If your pet is in hospital with us we will endeavour to give you regular updates on your current account. Account Payments:

As a small business we cannot offer credit. Our Terms of Trading are full payment at the time of service and for your convenience we accept Eftpos, Visa, Mastercard, Cash & Cheque. Veterinarians, however, receive no government subsidy (ie Medicare) and have significantly higher overheads than medical doctors. Veterinary fees are NOT GST exempt as are doctor’s fees.

🐰🐣 Easter is fast approaching! 🐣🐰

Here are a few tips to make Easter this year safer for our pets ⬇️

❌No chocolate - secure in safe area, away from pets. All chocolate is toxic to dogs and cats - the darker the chocolate, the more toxic it is! This includes baking chocolate and cocoa powder.

❌No Lilies - All parts of the Lilly plant are toxic, avoid gifting Lilies to pet owners.

❌No Hot Cross Buns - Hot cross buns are toxic to dogs and cats as they contain dried fruits - such as sultanas. Ensure to store in safe area away from pets.

Any questions? Feel free to contact us on 6424 1675

For afterhours please contact Vet Chat on 1300 136 643.
