Caring, compassionate vet care for the pets on the Peninsula and surrounds since 1994 Our dedicated team consists of five vets and six nurses.
The surgery first opened in January 1994 as has been looking after pets on the peninsula ever since. We believe in offering the best care and service to our clients and their pets.
Why did the duck cross the road?
We’re not sure of her motives, but she is safe with us getting lots of cuddles and scratches!
Judging by all the facebook posts on the local pages she has had quite an adventure filled weekend.
If you know her family please let them know she is here!
It’s with gratitude, appreciation and a tinge of sadness that we wish to advise our clients that Dr Ian Lynch will be retiring from Veterinary Practice on the 28th of this month.
Graduating in 1987 as Veterinary Surgeon, Dr Ian spent time as a mixed animal practitioner, then spent some time locuming in the UK and Goldcoast hinterland before settling on the Redcliffe Peninsula with his family and joining the PVS Team.
Dr Ian has been caring for the pets of the Peninsula for the past 20 years and we are so grateful for his experience, care and compassion.
As a team we will miss his Dad Jokes, enthusiasm, team building activities, experience and unflappable nature.
Dr Ian is leaving your pets in the wonderful experienced hands of our clinic owner Dr Abigail Vaughan, Dr Tegan Taylor, Dr Jess Reidel and Dr Tyla Parfitt-Brown.
Join us in wishing Dr Ian the very best retirement full of adventures and laughs!
And we are back!
Our friendly Nurses Beth and Renae are set and ready to take your calls!
We are experiencing technical difficulties!
Please bear with us as we work to get this fixed as soon as possible.

Today is World Veterinary Day!

What a great start to the New Year!
Bear has been found!
Some helpful tips for making sure your pets are safe during the New Years Eve festivities!
Happy New Year!
If you’re celebrating with your fur family at home tonight, remember the following tips to help them manage loud fireworks and party noises:
• Try to keep your dog’s routine going and walk them earlier in the day to make them feel relaxed later in the day
• Check your gates and fences for safe latching
• Treat often for good behaviour (resting, laying down, relaxing), and for coping with new guests
• Remind your guests that you have a dog that needs to stay indoors during the fireworks
• Make sure your dog is wearing a collar and is microchipped
• Close your curtains or blinds as needed if the fireworks upset your dog
• Give them their favourite long-lasting chew to help distract them during noises in a calm, safe place
• Avoid feeding them party food as it may upset their stomach
Our team will continue to be here to support you as needed xo

The Peninsula is blessed with so many walking areas for us and our dogs to enjoy.
But do you know what is good doggy etiquette?
Just because your dog is friendly doesn't mean you should let it run up to any dog, especially another dog on lead.
You never know, that dog may be in training, reactive or working.
Contrary to popular belief not all dogs want to socialise with other people and dogs while out exploring the neighbourhood with their people.
Even the friendliest of dogs can also become reactive on lead when their ability to run away (flight instinct) is inhibited by a lead.
Please keep your dog at a distance and ask the owner before approaching, it might just save you a visit to us!
We have an abundance of on lead and off lead areas we should all be able to enjoy with our dogs.
Here's a helpful little picture.
We understand how hard it can be, especially at this time of year.
Did you know we offer many different payment options to help spread the cost of your pets medical needs?
From All of Us to All of You,
We wish you a Safe, Healthy and Happy Christmas!
We Thank you for your support in 2023 and look forward to seeing you and your fur-family in 2024.
Merry Christmas!
Can we get a massive shout out for gorgeous Maggie!

Tick season is in full swing! Are your pets up to date? We are very lucky to not have ticks prevalent here on the Peninsula. HOWEVER, that does not mean you should not give tick prevention to your beloved fur friends. As soon as you take your pet off the Peninsula, they are at risk of getting a tick as all surrounding areas have them! The beautiful Stella took a day trip off the Peninsula and came home with 4 ticks on her. Lucky for her, her very vigilant owners noticed straight away and brought her in. You can see her enjoying her blow dry after a tick bath below #thathairflick. She’s now rested up at home and doing well. Signs of tick paralysis include: - hind leg paresis - change of tone in your dog’s bark/cat’s meow - vomiting - dry retching - excessive salivation or noisy panting - difficulty swallowing - coughing If your pet starts to show any of these symptoms, they need to see a vet straight away! THE BEST CURE IS PREVENTION! Tick prevention is available in monthly, 3 monthly and now 6 monthly doses. To find out which is best for your pet, pop in to clinic or give us a call and we can help you. 🐕
