Services FAQs
Choosing the right care for your animal often comes with questions. Below are common service-related FAQs for Southern Highlands Veterinary Centre in Moss Vale. If you don’t see what you need, our reception team can help you find the best next step for your pet, horse, livestock, or wildlife patient.
What animals do you treat at Southern Highlands Veterinary Centre?
We’re a true mixed animal practice in Moss Vale. Our veterinarians care for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, wildlife, and other exotic pets, along with horses and a wide range of livestock, including cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas, and camels.
Do you offer same-day urgent care appointments?
Yes. Same-day urgent care is always accepted during opening hours. Walk-ins are triaged based on medical priority, and drop-offs may be arranged when appropriate to ensure timely care for urgent needs.
What should I do if my pet has an emergency after hours?
If your animal has an emergency outside our standard hours, call the clinic number. A veterinarian is on call for after-hours emergencies, and we can provide advice, urgent treatment, or emergency surgery as needed.
Do you provide farm calls for large animals?
Yes. We offer ambulatory services throughout the Southern Highlands for horses and livestock. Farm calls can include herd health visits, calving assistance, pregnancy testing, and general medical or surgical care.
What’s included in a dental procedure for my dog or cat?
Dental procedures include a full oral exam under anaesthetic, ultrasonic scaling and polishing, and dental radiographs to evaluate tooth roots and bone health. Extractions or oral surgery are performed when clinically needed.
Can you help with canine breeding and fertility concerns?
Absolutely. Our canine reproductive service covers ovulation timing, TCI, semen storage, pregnancy diagnosis, and whelping support. We’ll guide you through planning, timing, and care for both dam and litter.
When should I book a recheck instead of requesting repeat medication?
If your pet’s condition has changed, symptoms have returned, your pet’s weight has changed, or you’re unsure whether the medication is still appropriate, we recommend booking a consultation. A recheck allows our vets to assess your pet, confirm the correct dosage, and adjust treatment if needed.
Even if you have no concerns, we still need to see your pet every 6 months for a medication review to ensure ongoing treatment remains safe and effective.
