The Rainbow Bridge Vet - Launceston

The Rainbow Bridge Vet - Launceston The Rainbow Bridge Vet is a part-time business, currently open on a Monday Tuesday and Thursday 9-5, and Fridays 9-4. We can discuss your options before hand.

Occasional appointments available outside of these hours when time and energy permits. I am an experienced veterinarian with over 30 years of clinical practice. I have worked throughout Australia, the UK and NZ - Tasmania is where my heart is and is my long term home. One of the hardest parts of being a pet owner is seeing our fur-family get older. Unfortunately our pets rarely pass away peacefull

y in their sleep - and it is difficult to see them struggling or suffering. Although it can be a very difficult decision to make, allowing our furry loved ones to pass peacefully in their own surroundings is a relief to us as owners. Most importantly for our pets, it is a gentle and kind way to end their suffering. My service includes a phone discussion before a planned visit. This may help you decide when is the right time, or to reassure you about what happens in a visit. There is plenty of time in my visit - I allow for up to an hour. Afterwards you may want to bury your pet at home. Alternatively you may wish to have your pet cremated.

Hi everyone

I have just started the process of creating a website

If anyone has some good quality images of their senior pets that they would happy to share (perhaps in nature or sunshine or comfy couch- added bonus with a rainbow!) please let me know

And if you would just like to share a photo of your fur child enjoying this glorious sunshine feel free to share!

Current pic of my 14 yo boy for attention 😊

Thank you

I am away next week, but back to normal working days on Monday 13th November
I wont be easily contactable as I will be in Thailand (long awaited and a tiny bit belated honeymoon) but you can use text, email or messenger and I will get back to as soon as possible on the Monday.

Thanks everyone - I hope all your furry family are safe and well. I have been spending the weekends 'snake fencing' the cat enclosure. Hopefully no more snake encounters...

Fabulous news for Launceston - 24 hour veterinary hospital over the weekends - staffed by Emergency vets and nurses day and night! I hope you don't need an emergency service in a hurry - but if you do you and your fur family will be in the very best hands.

**** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ****

It’s been a busy time for us at AEH Launceston since our last update with renovations being completed, new equipment to buy, a whole team of enthusiastic veterinary professionals to find, two new veterinary software systems to learn and now finally, the last puzzle pieces have fallen into place.

Our first opening weekend will begin at 5pm on Friday the 29th of September & we will be located at 207 Hobart Road, Kings Meadows.

For many of you, the veterinary clinic located at 207 Hobart Road may be familiar as the previous Kings Meadows Veterinary Clinic, and more recently, Pets Life Veterinary Care. We gratefully wish to acknowledge the team from Pets Life, for supporting AEH Launceston and providing us a place to call home in our first year of business. I would also like to emphasise that we are a completely separate veterinary business from Pets Life Veterinary Care.

So, what’s next?

Dr Lisa is putting her graphic design skills to the test and developing some information posters on the following:
• What to do if you think you might need veterinary assistance from AEH Launceston
• How our triage consultation system will work
• What we offer for overnight and weekend referral care (this is when your regular veterinarian feels your pet needs 24-hour veterinary attention)
• How much will it cost to see a vet over the weekend & ways we can assist you in the event of these unexpected stressful situations
• What to do with wildlife that are injured or unwell
• What can I expect if my pet needs to stay for medical or surgical treatment

We will also be introducing a few of our team members who will be starting with us from the 29th.
