Maclean Veterinary Clinic

Caring for your pets can be an expensive business, between food, wormers, tick prevention and vaccinations-and that's only if nothing goes wrong! A Pet Care Plan is a budgeting tool that can be tailored to each family.

For a small fortnightly or monthly payment (starting from as little as $11 per fortnight) you can cover the year's flea & tick control, worming and vaccinations all in easy instalments - no need to try to save hundreds for the yearly vaccination and heartworm injection.Plans can incorporate individual pet's needs for example prescription food or dentistry.

Our standard desexing prices are as listed below and this includes the day stay in hospital, general anaesthetic, iv fluids (drip), two types of pain relief on the day as well as an additional 3 days of take home pain relief. It is a day surgery procedure and the usual recovery time is approximately one week.

During summer months flea can develop from eggs to mature adults in just 2 weeks. So when every adult flea can lay several thousand eggs, it means that every fortnight they can be millions of fleas hatched ready to jump on your pet. Stray cats, neighbouring animals wildlife (such as kangaroos and bandicoots) can act as sources of infestation, re-introducing fleas to your yard.

Then keep an eye of for the local paralysis ticks. These blood-thirsty parasites can be found year-round in the Lower Clarence region, although mainly in spring/summer. NSW legislation requires animals older than 12 weeks are implanted with a microchip. Interstate clients may need ensure that existing microchip details are also listed on the NSW Pet Registry.
