Services
24-hour emergency
Our clinic provides urgent veterinary treatment outside regular hours through a shared on-call arrangement with Darwin's leading practices. Available for critical pet health issues requiring immediate attention, this service ensures continuous care for medical emergencies, trauma cases, and post-operative complications. The dedicated emergency team maintains full access to our diagnostic equipment and surgical facilities.
Digital X-ray
Advanced digital radiography enables rapid, high-resolution internal imaging for accurate diagnosis. This non-invasive service helps identify fractures, organ abnormalities, and foreign objects with minimal patient discomfort. Our system reduces radiation exposure while providing immediate image access for time-sensitive treatment decisions and specialist consultations.
Orthopaedic surgery
Specialised procedures address musculoskeletal conditions including fractures, joint disorders, and hip dysplasia. Our surgical team utilises modern techniques for ligament repairs, bone plating, and joint stabilisation. Pre- and post-operative care includes pain management and rehabilitation planning to optimise recovery outcomes for active Darwin pets in tropical conditions.
In-house laboratory
On-site pathology facilities deliver rapid blood, urine, and tissue analysis for immediate treatment adjustments. Capabilities include haematology, biochemistry profiles, and infectious disease screening. This service supports critical care decisions, chronic condition monitoring, and pre-anaesthetic assessments without requiring external sample transfers.
Behavioural consultations
Expert evaluations address problematic behaviours through veterinary behavioural science. Services include anxiety management, training guidance, and environmental enrichment strategies. Our certified specialists develop customised plans for issues like aggression, phobias, and inappropriate elimination, considering Darwin's unique climate and lifestyle factors.

The team at All Pets have been very supportive and given our dog great care. She has had medical and behavioral issues, both of which have been handled with great professionalism and treatment. In terms of value and expenses, they kept me updated about the cost each step of the way and I could choose what care she got according to my budget, so I think they were very reasonable. The reception team made it very easy to claim my insurance also. I would definitely recommend this practice if you need help with an anxious dog like mine!

Our little poodle has had issues with his ears his entire life, and after going to a range of different vets who said that he was just badly bred, would have chronic ear infections for the rest of his life and… try to keep us on expensive medication that didn't help at all, we came to All Pets and saw dr Sue. Instead of just giving us the same run-around, she explained to us how we could treat his ears long term, instead of just slapping a bandaid on. After 4 weeks (and a little help with sedation to get out some stubborn plugs) for the first time in his 6 years of life, our baby got an

Been a loyal client with them with all my 5 animals for about 10 years and although they are good, they are literally overpriced and always give absolutely ridiculous prices. To mention one incident: I was inquiring about my dogs teeth to be re- cleaned, after I payed 1k (with them) for her first clean and the vet told me ah yes this wont be that expensive, about $850. I was shocked, because its a lot. Then I asked another vet and they literally gave me the price of around $400?? Thats half the price?? She popped a little pimple on my dogs skin and charged me $70 for it on top of

This has been the best vet service we have experienced. We had a traumatic experience, when our dog ran away due to thunderstorms. She was found and taken to All Pets Vet Hospital. She had been badly hurt and had bite marks on her legs, was severely dehydrated etc. The staff and vets all showed great care. The vets kept us informed at all times, took care of our dog beautifully for 3 days and were open and upfront about costs relating to treatment. We are so grateful for the care and professionalism of this veterinary hospital. She is now recovering beautifully - thanks to them.

Came for an Emergency for my dog after hours. Not my normal Darwin Vet. Was so grateful for the help and expertise of Dr Daley. She is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced professional. Cost and value are not the same thing but I feel the care and experience I got here was good value. This is now my regular vet and I am definitely recommending to my friends.

I have been going to All Pets Vet for several years with my dogs Zorro, Diesel, Bella (passed away) and Luna. Very happy with the service. Diesel was poisoned a few years ago and he was still a puppy... he almost passed away and they let us go in the back to say our goodbyes. It was difficult, and yet somehow, Diesel began to recover against all odds. They kept calling us up to see how he was, if he was ok after he was released. All Pets Vet are always above and beyond, and they treat every animal like their own. Great staff too. Thank you again :)
