Services
Vaccinations
Vaccination programs protect pets against preventable diseases through tailored schedules for puppies, kittens, and adult animals. Core vaccines include protection against distemper, hepatitis, and parvovirus for dogs, and FVRCP for cats. Non-core vaccines address lifestyle-specific risks like kennel cough. Annual boosters maintain immunity while our wellness plans include vaccination reminders and discounted rates. All vaccinations follow Australian Veterinary Association guidelines.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include scale and polish procedures under anaesthesia, tooth extractions, and periodontal disease management. Advanced equipment like ultrasonic scalers and dental X-rays ensure thorough treatment. Preventative care advice covers home oral hygiene routines, appropriate chew toys, and diet recommendations. Free dental health checks help identify issues before they become painful or expensive to treat.
Desexing
Surgical sterilisation procedures for dogs and cats follow strict anaesthetic protocols with pre-operative health checks. Includes pre-surgery consultations, pain management plans, and post-operative care instructions. The service prevents unwanted pregnancies while offering health benefits like reduced cancer risks. Experienced veterinary surgeons perform operations in sterile theatre environments with continuous patient monitoring during recovery.
Emergency Services
24/7 emergency veterinary care for critical conditions including trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses. Equipped facilities handle life-threatening situations with immediate access to diagnostic tools and surgical capabilities. Triage system prioritises cases based on severity while experienced emergency vets provide stabilisation and ongoing treatment for pets requiring urgent medical attention after regular hours.
Pet Boarding
Purpose-built cattery facilities offer secure, comfortable accommodation for cats with daily health checks by veterinary staff. Features include webcams for owner monitoring, climate-controlled environments, and special dietary requirements management. Boarding includes vaccination requirement checks and provides immediate veterinary access if health concerns arise during the pet's stay.
Questions
What vaccination schedules do you recommend for puppies and kittens?
Puppies require vaccinations at 6, 10-12, and 16 weeks, with annual boosters. Kittens follow an 8, 11-12 week schedule with yearly boosters. Our veterinarians tailor schedules based on lifestyle risks and local regulations.
Do you offer microchipping services and why is it important?
Yes, we implant microchips during routine consultations. Microchipping provides permanent identification that can't be lost like collars. It's compulsory for cats over 6 months and dogs over 3 months in WA, helping reunite lost pets with owners.
What dental care services are available for senior pets?
We offer comprehensive dental assessments including X-rays, professional cleaning under anaesthesia, and extractions when necessary. Our team provides tailored home care advice and pain management for older pets with dental disease.
How do your emergency services operate after hours?
Our 24/7 emergency clinics use a triage system for urgent cases. Critical patients receive immediate attention while less severe cases may have short waits. All emergency vets have access to diagnostic tools and surgical facilities for life-threatening conditions.
What parasite prevention options do you recommend?
We offer monthly heartworm prevention, flea control, and intestinal worming treatments. Our Total Wellness Plan includes year-round parasite protection with home delivery of preventatives, tailored to your pet's specific needs and lifestyle.
Can you explain the desexing procedure and recovery process?
Desexing involves surgical removal of reproductive organs under general anaesthesia. Post-operative care includes pain relief, activity restrictions, and follow-up checks. Most pets return home the same day with detailed recovery instructions provided by our veterinary nurses.

Had an amazing experience here on Saturday. My usual vet was closed so we booked an appointment here. Dr Toby was our vet and he was great with our aggressive girl who was in a lot pain due to an incident. Today I had a call from one of the receptionist(can't remember her name) who did a follow up on our girl and see how she was doing. Thank you again!!

Worst vet I have ever been to called twice and got told 2 different prices.. Then took work of made a appointment with the vet moved other appointments around just to get my tiny kitten into the clinic because he was born in a horrible enviroment and could possibly have somthing wrong with him. Very dissapointed with them for cancelling 30 minutes before my app if I book in I want to come in for my app.. everybody is equal and I dont think it's fair to push someone out of the way for someone else. My pet was priority to been seen to and we were let down. Not happy

Vetwest Cockburn were amazing when it came to the care of our beautiful girl, Emba. She was bitten by a tiger snake and they were very thorough with their treatment of her. She is doing really well and recovering at home now. We are so thankful for the prompt advice and treatment.

I always have a great experience when visiting vetwest. I'm especially thankful to doctor Jo who is so kind and caring and has this natural connection with my dog.

I had just rescued an extremely frightened, injured kitten from under a sink recess on someone's property and brought the as yet unnamed little guy to Vetwest in Cockburn to assess how serious his leg injury was and also for a general check-up. The vet was amazing and very understanding, giving us time alone to process information and make decisions. The little guy was booked in for a leg amputation and we were given medication and instructions on care for the meantime. The vet and reception staff were awesome the whole way through. Our little one is now named Hiccup.

Our little mini schnauzer, Strudel just graduated puppy pre-school with Brad and we all had such a great time. Were not new to owning dogs but learnt so much about dog behaviour from Brad, he is so passionate and knowledgeable and weve come away with a much better understanding about training than any other dog training weve done in the past! If you have a new puppy, definitely book in at Cockburn with Brad! You wont regret it! Thanks so much Brad!
Id also like to say a massive thank you to Dr Nicole for all her help with our beloved Schnapps. I just wish we had brought her to you
