Consultations at Home
Beachside Veterinary Hospital provides an at home consultation service for a range of healthcare and end of life needs.
From vaccinations and annual health checks, to more complicated ongoing medical assessments, we can even perform some routine blood collection, ear and eye procedures in the comfort of your home.
A relaxed and stress-free home visit is beneficial for all pets and pet owners who may experience a degree of anxiety when visiting a hospital setting.
Home consultations offer an alternative option for cat owners, who may otherwise struggle with the practicalities of getting their feline into a carrier and safely to the veterinary hospital. Owners of large dog breeds, or multiple dog households can benefit too, as a home visit removes the need for transportation to and from the hospital, which can often prove difficult and stressful.
Another common procedure performed in the home is end of life care/euthanasia. Here at Beachside we believe that all end of life treatments should occur in the most stress free manner and location possible. Having this procedure performed at home creates a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere, helping your pet pass peacefully, in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by their family. We are able to arrange cremation once your pet has passed and can either return your pet to the hospital or arrange collection directly from your home as per your wishes.
Appointments for home consultations are available Monday to Friday 8am until 5.30pm
Please contact reception on 4057 8677 to book an appropriate time for your home visit.
