Private Consulting Service
When your pet has a problem your first step should be to arrange a consultation at a time and branch to suit you. At Parkvets we offer 15 minute consultations with our vets all of whom have a broad knowledge of many pet ailments. During this initial consultation the vets will assess your pet's clinical signs, listen to your concerns and hopefully reassure you about your pet's condition. If needed they can advise you on how how investigation and treatment can be taken further. The next step might include:

Surgical Services
All vets at Parkvets are general surgeons however we have team of surgeons who have undergone further training to be able to undertake the more complicated procedures. We undertake almost all types of surgery from complicated fractures, cruciate ligament repairs, spinal surgery, to gastrointestinal surgery and cancer resection. If your pet has a problem that needs surgery, chances are we can fix it.
Dentistry
Dental disease is by far the most common disease we treat. Almost every pet will suffer this at some stage so we've invested in the very latest equipment and training for our staff. This includes brand new state of the art digital radiography, the latest dental equipment and regular training by UK sepcialists. If your pet has toothache, Parkvets will solve the problem.
Internal Medical Services
From vomiting and diarrhoea through to fitting pets. Our medics can find out what is going on with your pet. Each of our vets performs several medical investigations each day - this forms the majority of a vet's workload. Medical cases often make use of the other services such as lab testing or diagnostic imaging.
Laboratory Service
Parkvets have an onsite dedicated laboratory at the Footscray hospital staffed by two technicians during weekdays. This gives us the ability to turn tests round in minutes not days, ensuring your pet gets the best treatment - fast!
Hospitalisation Service
With accommodation for over 40 animals the Parkvets hospital is the biggest in the area and is permanently staffed 365 days a year. The kennel team, overseen by our nursing staff ensure your pets are fed, watered and groomed whilst they are with us. They are a vital part of our team who keep a watchful eye on your pet during its stay with us.
Euthanasia
Sadly the time comes when our beloved companions must leave us behind. At such a time what you need is a caring and professional team that gives your pet the dignified end it deserves. Read more about our euthanasia services here.
