Services
Moranbah Veterinary Clinic has been an integral part of our local community for over 40 years. In that time, we’ve cared for the needs of a variety of small animals, cattle, horses, some birds, pocket pets, reptiles and wildlife. Our clients know by experience that they can rely on us for sound advice and treatment options, and can trust that their pet is in the very best of hands.
We offer a wide range of services with a caring and gentle approach to treatment and consultations.
Healthcare Services
Consultations & Health Exams
Keep on top of your pet's health with an annual examination to take care of vaccinations and parasite prevention, and discuss any behavioural or nutritional concerns.
Vaccinations
It is essential that all pets are appropriately vaccinated to help protect them and others against infectious illness and disease. Ongoing annual booster injections are required to maintain immunity.
Parasite Control
It is crucial to maintain a routine worming treatment for your pets, to reduce the incidence of infection and to reduce environmental contamination. There are many worming treatments available for intestinal worm & heartworm infections that occur in our pets, including injections, tablets, chews, and topical applications.
Dermatology
Our veterinarians can help relieve excessive scratching, skin chewing or biting, rubbing or scooting, flaky dry skin, and hair loss caused by underlying skin irritations.
Dentistry
Just like humans, pets’ teeth need looking after too! The health of their teeth and gum's has a significant impact on their overall quality of life. We perform dental examinations and comprehensive teeth cleans, including a scale and polish.
