If your pet requires surgery we have partnered with the Dog and Cat clinic to take on any Surgical or hospital care needed.

Emergency care usually requires equipment that only veterinary hospitals have, such as capacity to give intravenous fluid therapy, oxygen therapy, gastrointestinal lavage and sometimes even surgery.

Creature Calls currently provides veterinary care to dogs and cats. We can also see a rabbit for vaccination if you contact us ahead of time.

Payment is due on the same day usually after services are rendered but can arrange payment before if easier. We accept cash, eftpos, EFT, Credit card, cheque, Direct deposit or transfer. We email all of our invoices to avoid printing on paper, but if you would prefer a printed receipt we can arrange this.

If its your pet's first consultation with Creature Calls, please have all the appropriate medical information/records if available. Making sure your cat and or dog are confined to a small space ready for examination.

We are open 9:00-4:00 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning. Contact us to discuss an appointment outside of these hours.

Yes we can, we routinely create reminders for each individual pet. We send emails and texts for appointment bookings and reminders.

Depending on the level of difficulty we can potentially arrange a meet and greet with Cathy feeding lots of treats to develop a positive relationship with your pet, as often aggression or difficulty in consultations can be based in anxiety. She may recommend dispensing a short term anti -anxiety medication to give to your pet before the next appointment time. We also can arrange our experienced nurse Lauren to be present at any of the appointments for assistance. We always carry muzzles for dogs that require muzzling for an effective examination.

We understand how difficult it can be getting your pet to the vet, especially if you don’t have access to transport. You may struggle to lift your dog into the car or your cat may go missing on appointment day.

The number one reason given by pet owners for wanting a house call is that they want to avoid stressing their pet with a car trip. We understand these difficulties and want to give your pet veterinary care without the hassle.
