If your pet is sick, has an injury or needs a check-up, our UQ VETS Small Animal Hospital vets will provide the very best standard in animal care.

Our highly skilled primary care clinicians have access to modern diagnostic equipment and innovative hospital facilities, and collaborate with our inhouse veterinary specialists to ensure your pet receives the best care.

Our services

We care for dogs, cats and avian and exotic pets for routine health care and in times of illness or injury.

We provide cat-only veterinary spaces to reduces stress for all pets during their visit.

New animal health examinations

We will carry out a detailed physical exam, discuss recommended vaccination and parasite prevention regimes, and provide advice on diet, behaviour, microchipping and desexing.

Annual health examinations

We recommend an annual check-up to monitor your pet’s health and identify issues that may not be obvious. A thorough physical exam and age-appropriate laboratory tests can help to ensure your pet’s health needs are being met as they mature.
