Our Services

Vital Vet Animal Hospital strives to provide quality service for you and your pets, targeting the Ellenbrook & surrounding areas.

Radiology

We have facilities to perform x-rays on your pet. Our x-ray machine is an advanced special small animal x-ray unit with digital capture and storage of images. 

Pathology

Vital Vet has a suite of sophisticated state-of the-art in house Idexx laboratory equipment. This enables us to run a vast number of tests and cost effective panels such as preanaesthetic blood tests and general health profiles.

Surgery

Our surgery is well equipped with modern anaesthetic machines, monitoring equipment, suction, electrocautery and patient warming devices.

Dentistry

Dental disease is extremely common in dogs and cats. Dirty teeth and gum disease has been associated with increased risk for heart disease, stroke, and many types of cancers. 

Weight Management 

Obesity has a profound effect on our pet’s health.  Obesity can increase risk for many cancers, make dogs more prone to pancreatitis and increase the incidence of sugar diabetes in both cats and dogs.

Vaccinations

Our dog vaccination schedule (C5) includes protection against Canine Parvovirus, Distemper and Infectious Canine Hepatitis as well as the respiratory organisms  – Parainfluenza virus and the contagious bacterial pathogen called Bordatella. 

Deworming

Puppies and kittens are frequently infested with worms. It is therefore important to repeatedly deworm them in the first few months of their lives. A broad-spectrum deworming agent is recommended every two weeks from the age of 6 to 12 weeks, then monthly from 3 to 6 months of age.

Vital Vet has a temperature controlled hydrobath and we offer a number of  bathing options..

Microchipping

It is now compulsory to have all cats and dogs microchipped. Microchipping is the only way to permanently identify your pet.  The microchip is approximately the size of a grain of rice and is injected subcutaneously under the skin of the neck area.

Nutrition

Gastrointestinal health is linked with the health of every other organ in the body, including the brain. When feeding your pet, always strive to optimise the diet. A diet that is adequate is ….. just adequate. 

Puppy Preschool

Puppy preschool is a great way to understand and modify your puppy’s behaviour and form positive habits early. Where possible, we refer all our puppies to Perth Animal Training Services in Wangara. PATS is operated by a Charlotte Smithson, a trainer and behavioural expert with fantastic credentials.  

Sterilisation

Sterilisation (orchidectomy) in male dogs involves surgical removal of the testes and in the female dog, surgical removal of the uterus and ovaries (ovariohysterectomy).
