Vaccinations
Essential vaccination programs protect pets against deadly diseases. Our clinic follows Australian Veterinary Association guidelines for core vaccinations in dogs, cats, rabbits and ferrets. Regular boosters maintain immunity while our staff provide education on vaccine schedules and disease prevention tailored to each pet's lifestyle and risk factors.
Surgical Procedures
Modern surgical facilities handle routine and complex procedures including desexing, tumour removals, and soft tissue surgeries. Pre-anaesthetic blood tests ensure patient safety while digital monitoring equipment tracks vital signs. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up consultations to ensure optimal recovery for all surgical patients.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services address periodontal disease and tooth abnormalities. Digital dental x-rays enable accurate diagnosis while ultrasonic scaling and polishing maintain oral hygiene. Complex cases receive extractions or specialist referrals, with preventative advice provided for home dental care routines to maintain long-term oral health.
Puppy Pre-School
Structured socialisation program for 8-16 week old puppies. Certified trainers teach basic obedience, toilet training and positive reinforcement techniques. Classes promote confidence building while educating owners on puppy development, nutrition and early behavioural shaping to establish lifelong good habits in a controlled environment.

We could not speak more highly of all of the beautiful Vets and Nursing staff at Cannington Vets that have cared for two of our beautiful dogs over the last 10years. They have been there in our dark times with care and compassion

I've been going here for years. I couldn't give a high enough recommendation to these guys. no ask is too big or small. everytime my pets have needed help they have been there for us. even if I moved out of the area I'd still bring my fur babies to them.
