Vet near Wantirna

About 4.5 km and five minutes by car: Mountain Highway to Burwood Highway, turn right, over EastLink and Dandenong Creek, and the clinic is on the Hartland Road corner opposite Vermont South Shopping Centre, with free parking behind it. The 732 bus along Burwood Highway ends at the tram terminus across the highway.

The drive is five minutes, and the reasons in the clinic's Google reviews are practical: every price is published, an estimate comes before any procedure, imaging and blood tests are done on site the same day, and the clinic number reaches a vet nurse after hours at no charge. For a dog that is stiff or recovering from surgery, certified canine rehabilitation is done at the clinic rather than by referral.

Keep your dog calm and still, carry them rather than walking them, do not try to catch the snake, and ring 03 9968 7771 as you go. In opening hours the team tells you whether to come straight in; when the clinic is closed the same number reaches a vet nurse who names the nearest emergency hospital to you. Weakness or a collapse can be followed by an apparent recovery, so go even if your dog picks up.

Call the clinic number, 03 9968 7771, and follow the prompts. A vet nurse answers at no charge, client or not, and works through what you are seeing. If your pet needs to be seen tonight, the nurse names the emergency hospital nearest to Wantirna; if it can wait, you get advice for the night and the clinic calls in the morning to book the follow-up.

Call 03 9968 7771 and the team fits urgent cases into the day where they can. X-ray and ultrasound are at the clinic, so if imaging is needed it is done during the same visit, most often with your dog awake or lightly sedated, and the images are explained to you on the day. An estimate comes first, and if the finding needs more than rest, the rehabilitation plan is made at the clinic.

Yes. Dr Jessica Goh is a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist. A rehabilitation appointment assesses movement, joint range, muscle mass and posture, and the plan combines pain relief with laser therapy, pulsed electromagnetic therapy, targeted exercises and manual therapy, whether the goal is recovery after surgery or long-term mobility. The rehabilitation page explains each option.
