Pet Care Redefined

some things we DO
Smell nice!
We provide an ultra-modern and hygienic hospital facility, it's a safe and fear-free environment for your furkids
​Recognise that cats are different
We put cats at ease with designated cat-only zones for examination and care, all our feline facilities have been designed to be 'cat friendly' compliant
​Make ourselves available
We offer easy to schedule appointments so we'll always see your pet
Solve problems
Our on-site laboratory and advanced diagnostic equipment  mean we can provide you with fast and reliable answers for your pet's symptoms
Round-the-clock care
We care for our sick and hospitalised patients like they're family so this means we never leave them alone, day or night
Cut out the tomophobia* 
We offer an extensive range of surgical and dental treatments from the elective to the unavoidable, and even the advanced. This means there's rarely any need to move your pet to an unfamiliar facility elsewhere. That sounds less stressful!
​
* Tomophobia: Fear or anxiety caused by forthcoming surgical interventions

some things we DON'T

Rush your appointments
We're always thorough and ensure all your concerns are heard

Treat your online research results with disdain 
We know you only Google because you care. We love and encourage 'pawrent' participation when it comes to caring for our patients

Promote treatments based on what we think you can afford
We value honesty remember? We'll help you to understand ALL of your pet's treatment options, then provide clear fee estimates and innovative payment solutions if required.

Judge the decisions you make for your pet
That's not what compassionate care means

easy essentials 

What if you had the confidence of knowing you could consult our vets for free everytime your furkid seemed out of sorts ? 

What if parasite control treatments were dispatched direct to your door when needed, instead of you having to find time to shop ?
​
With Ripponlea Vet Hospital's "Essential Care" package we've removed the hassle and expense of everyday care for your pet.
