We will serve our community by promoting our preventative medical services and the well-being of each individual through quality, personalised, efficient and friendly services. About Us
Consultation is by appointment: Whilst we endeavour to be as flexible as possible, we urge all clients to make an appointment so that we may schedule our surgeries and time efficiently. Payment: Payment is required at the time of consultation or discharge. Payment can be made by cash, cheque (photo i.d required), Visa, Mastercard or EFTPOS. Surgery: Surgeries are preformed Monday to Friday only; exceptions are made for emergency situations. Our Commitment
Girraween Veterinary Hospital is acutely receptive to the needs and expectations of our clients. We recognise and understand the physical and emotional responsibility associated with the animal members of your family, which is why we focus on each patient’s individual needs. With experience and knowledge, we strive to keep up to date on the latest developments in Veterinary medicine; our goal is to maintain exceptional standards. Your pet’s health is very important to us. Finding conditions before they become serious problems is the basis behind our recommendation for annual examinations/vaccinations. Early intervention when problems are detected is not only better for the long term health of your pet but can also be financially beneficial for you as the owner.
