Health Checks
Regular veterinary health checks give our team an opportunity to examine your pet, discuss any changes you have noticed and explain whether further investigations or follow-up appointments may be appropriate.

Healthcare Services
Vaccinations
Vaccination appointments include a review of your pet's health and vaccination history. Our veterinary team can discuss the applicable recommendations for their species, age and circumstances before proceeding.
Microchipping
Microchipping helps identify pets through a registered electronic identifier. We explain the identification procedure, check the information needed for registration and discuss keeping contact details current when circumstances change.
Worming
Different intestinal parasites call for different prevention and treatment approaches. We can review your cat's or dog's circumstances and discuss which veterinary advice or products may be appropriate.
Heartworm
Heartworm prevention involves medications rather than vaccination against a virus. Our team can discuss preventive options, whether testing is indicated and how your pet's history affects the next step.
Flea & Tick Control
Fleas and ticks present different concerns depending on the animal and local conditions. Discuss prevention options with our clinic and arrange an assessment when you have noticed possible infestation or exposure.
Arthritis Treatments
A change in movement or willingness to exercise deserves individual assessment. Our veterinarians can examine your pet, discuss possible causes and explain treatment and review options where clinically appropriate.
Chronic Conditions
Ongoing health conditions may require regular examinations, testing and medication reviews. Our team works with owners to understand their pet's current needs and arrange relevant monitoring or follow-up appointments.
Dentistry
Dental consultations can include an examination of your pet's teeth, gums and mouth. We discuss any findings and explain whether further dental procedures or investigations should be considered.
Medical Services
Ultrasonography
Ultrasound is one of the imaging methods vets may use to investigate certain health concerns. Our clinic can explain why the test is being considered and what preparation or handling may be necessary.
Digital Radiography
Digital X-rays help veterinarians examine internal structures as part of an assessment. Your vet can discuss the clinical reason for imaging and any relevant positioning, handling or follow-up requirements.
Blood/DNA Testing
Blood tests and genetic DNA tests answer different clinical questions. Speak with our team about which investigations are offered for your pet's species and what each test can assess.
Clinical Pathology Services
Pathology testing provides laboratory information that a veterinarian interprets alongside examination findings and history. We can explain why a test is recommended and give test-specific preparation instructions before your appointment.
Desexing
Desexing is a surgical decision that should consider your pet's species, health and individual circumstances. Discuss the procedure, timing, anaesthesia and aftercare with our veterinarians before arranging an appointment.
Other Services
Behavioural Management
Concerns about behaviour may involve training, environment or underlying health considerations. Our veterinarians can review what is happening and discuss an appropriate assessment, guidance or referral when indicated.
Specialists Referrals
Some cases warrant review by another veterinary practitioner with a particular field of expertise. Our team can discuss the reason for referral and what clinical information may need to accompany it.
Puppy Pre-school
At Killarney Vale Veterinary Clinic, we offer puppy preschool information and enrolment enquiries for owners on the Central Coast.
