Our dedicated team is always here for your pets
Corio Veterinary Clinic was established in 1978. We are a modern well-equipped hospital, with a caring and experienced team of veterinarians and nurses who are committed to providing the best care for your pets. We are able to offer a wide range of services including consultations, desexing & microchipping, elective and emergency surgery and home visits. Our surgical and medical equipment is kept well up to date to enhance quick and effective treatment of your pets. With good advice and professional care, we strive to give your pet the best ongoing health care.
Our Lara Veterinary Clinic was opened in 1983 to cater for the ever expanding population of Lara and the surrounding districts. The Lara clinic provides a full range of services to our clients and their animals, with extended hours in the evenings for those owners working in Melbourne and travelling home to Lara. We aim to make your pet feel at ease in our Clinic with a caring and gentle approach to our treatments and consultations.
With our modern computer system, all details of your animals histories are available at the touch of a button to both clinics, which are linked "on-line."
Take a moment to meet our team and their own pets. We look forward to seeing you and your pet again at your next scheduled visit.
FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS FOR VETS 😀
We have received the following statement from the office of the Hon. David Littleproud MP, Minister for Agriculture, which is very reassuring news for our profession:
“The Federal Government considers the role of veterinarians essential to the agricultural sector and therefore to our nation’s food security but also in protecting companion animals and our nation’s wildlife.
The Federal Government has not put any restrictions on veterinarians other than the practice of social distancing and hygiene practices during the COVID-19 crisis.
While confusion has arisen due to the closing of some state borders, those state governments have assured us that veterinarians are able to continue to operate across borders.
The Federal Government will continue to work to maintain the essential role that veterinarians have in Australia during this crisis and will be happy to continue to engage with you at any stage should you require any clarification."
We will still need to be strict on our current protocols - please refer to our previous posts for these.
Thanks again for your continued support and understanding.
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
WE ARE OPEN........HOWEVER PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
During this difficult time and as the COVID 19 is progressing, we need to do everything we can to make sure our staff and clients feel safe, so we can continue to stay open and keep treating your furry friends.
As of Thursday 26th March, we have implemented new protocols for coming into our clinics.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
• Our doors will now be locked, but we are still here!
* When you arrive at the clinic please call us on
(03) 5275-4575 for Corio clients and
(03) 5282-3243 for Lara clients.
• A staff member will then come and collect your pet from your car.
• Your pet will be taken into a consulting room for their appointment with the vet.
• The vet will then call you on your mobile for a full history and talk with you during the examination of your pet.
• Once the consultation is complete, we will advise the total amount, in which we will then come out to your car with the eftpos machine (as we prefer cashless payments)
• Your animal will be returned to your car along with any medications and instructions.
* These rules apply if you are collecting food or medication too.
IMPORTANT
* if you already have an appointment and you are unable to attend that, please be considerate of others and cancel your appointment, as spaces are limited.
Thank you for your understanding and patience during this difficult and trying times. Unfortunately, we are having to carry out these drastic measures to ensure we are keeping our staff and clients as safe as we possibly can. , 🐾
