Veterinary Consultations
Richmond Veterinary Clinic offers consultations by appointment for your convenience. During the consultation our experienced veterinarians will thoroughly examine your pet and discuss any queries you may have about their health or behaviour. Additional diagnostic procedures, such as blood and urine tests, x-rays or ultrasound examination, will be scheduled if required.

All of our veterinarians regularly participate in continuing education activities to stay up to date with the latest developments in veterinary medicine.

Surgery
We perform a wide range of surgeries in our sterile operating theatre – from routine desexing to more complex orthopaedic procedures like cruciate ligament stabilisation and fracture repair. We use modern, safe anaesthetics and pain relief and closely monitor your pet throughout all surgical procedures.

Dentistry
Dental disease is a common cause of pain, bad breath, loss of appetite and infection in pets. From a thorough clean and polish to tooth extractions, we are well equipped to take care of your pet’s dental health.

X-ray and Ultrasound
We are fortunate to have ultrasound and state-of-the-art digital x-ray facilities at the clinic for rapid and accurate imaging investigations.

Microchipping
A microchip is a permanent form of identification for animals, and gives the best chance of reunion if your pet is ever lost. We can microchip your pet during a routine consultation; the microchip implant is about the size of a grain of rice and is inserted under the skin. Most municipal councils require all pets to be microchipped.

Annual Health Checks and Vaccinations
Annual check-ups are recommended for all pets. In addition to administering required vaccinations, we also perform a thorough physical examination and discuss all areas of preventative health care including:

• Flea prevention
• Heartworm prevention
• Intestinal worm treatment
• Dental care
• Nutrition
• Ongoing vaccination protocols.

Weight Management
Obesity is common amongst household pets, contributing to a range of conditions including diabetes, arthritis, skin disease and urinary problems. We can tailor a diet to help your pet achieve and maintain optimum weight, and schedule regular weight checks on our clinic scales to monitor progress.

Premium Food
We stock a range of premium maintenance and prescription veterinary diets to ensure optimum nutrition for pet.

Preventative Healthcare Products
We have a wide variety of products available for purchase over the counter for all your pet’s preventative healthcare needs. From flea treatments and wormers to toothpaste and medicated shampoo, we’ve got it covered. And if you need something out of the ordinary, we’re happy to order it in for you.
