Turn your puppy into a star pupil by enrolling in GEOvet’s Puppy Preschool. It runs every Thursday evening, 6:00pm, at GEOvet on Bussell Highway, Busselton. Contact us now to reserve a place as bookings are essential.

Puppies can begin the program when they are 10 weeks of age so long as they have at least two sets of vaccinations – Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvo and one set of Kennel Cough.

The course runs over four weekly sessions which are designed to socialise your puppy and to build up confidence and skills.

You can be assured that GEOvet Veterinary Hospital always provides your pet with the highest standard of surgical, anaesthetic and nursing care. Prior to surgery, we perform a thorough physical examination to determine the health of your pet. We offer and recommend inhouse pre-anaesthetic blood testing because not all conditions that could cause a risk to the patient can be detected by a physical examination alone.

We use modern inhalation isoflurane gas anaesthesia, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, ECG, heart rate and respiration monitors with continuous monitoring by a veterinary nurse alongside the vet.

We provide many surgical services, including routine spay and neuters, soft tissue surgeries and orthopaedic surgeries. Pain management is integral in our medical protocol to provide a comfortable experience for your pet during recovery and after they go home.

If you are concerned about your pet or have questions regarding any of our surgical procedures, please phone us today.

Dental care for your pet’s teeth is an important part of their overall health. Tartar build-up and plaque can cause serious damage to teeth and health problems in addition to foul smelling breath. Dental disease can also lead to systemic health problems such as heart and kidney disease.

Regular dental cleaning and oral check ups can help your pet stay healthy throughout its life. We offer dental care for cats and dogs as well as equine. In fact, we are very passionate about Dental Health and see the impact this can have on your pet.

Animal physiotherapy is a rapidly growing branch of veterinary services, assisting pets to return to physical and emotional wellness and comfort in everyday life.

Just like humans, animals quality foods to live a long and healthy life. Food scientists and nutritionists have worked to create products and advice so our vets have the resources to give you the best nutrition advice possible depending on your pet’s lifestyle or condition. There are many pet foods on the market – and not all are beneficial to your pet.

Wouldn’t you rather be feeding your pet a specially designed superior food than a by-product from another initiative? Come and chat to one of our qualified vets today.

You can prevent discomfort of your pets caused by parasites and ensure your home is hygienically protected when you develop a preventative health treatment plan. Worming and flea control can be made easy with regular treatment. There are many options available, so talk to one of our friendly team members to take out the confusion and find the best for your pet.

GEOvet prescribes and recommends a wide range of conventional medicines for large and small animals. Many conventional medications can be compounded into forms that are more convenient for administration to pets, such as flavoured liquids, chews and topical medications. Our pharmacies are stocked for pets as well as horses and farm animals.

As pets age, obtaining examinations for them becomes increasingly important. A number of diseases common to the aging process can be treated more effectively when diagnosed early. Beginning in middle age, we recommend senior wellness examinations every six months so that disease processes can be detected and treated as soon as possible.

Arthritis is common in cats and dogs. Similar to people, arthritis in animals can be painful, restrictive to movement and can seriously impact on quality of life. Treatment options in the form of medications or supplements can have a dramatic effect on the discomfort caused by sore, swollen joints. You may see your old dog acting like a young pup again with the right arthritis treatment.

Common senior dog diseases include : cancer, arthritis, diabetes, endocrinopathies
Common senior cat diseases include: hyperthyroidism, diabetes, renal disease, cancer, athritis

Our pets don’t tell us when they are in pain – so we have to look out for them and take care to provide the most comfort we can in their latter years.

The decision to have your pet euthanised is the most difficult one you will ever need to make in the lifetime of your pet.

Our home service allows you and your pet to be in private, familiar surroundings and to take the time needed for this emotional process. The procedure is usually quiet, painless and rapid.

After euthanasia, several options are available. You may bury your pet at home, or we can arrange burial or cremation for you. If you are interested there are plaques and urns available. This is often an emotional time and we are there for you during the grieving process.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding euthanasia, please contact us.

GEOvet wants to ensure the new addition to your family is in the best health possible to start a happy life. Our thorough physical examination to determine his or her state of health includes checking for parasites including flea, ticks, lice and ear mites, and a discussion about required vaccinations.

We can also assist you on the decision of desexing if you need some advice. Give us a call so we can arrange a check up as soon as you have your new addition.
