Specialised Equipment
Our Specialised Equipment "Our recent purchase a digital X-ray machine" Our recent purchase of our new digital x-ray machine has proved a popular choice with both staff and clients. The machine saves a great deal of time and we can see the results in minutes. Clients are given a disc to take home with their pets x-rays which is much better than the films which we by law had to keep here as a record. The digital x-ray machine has lots of features, some of which include fast results, the ability to enhance the quality and make the image darker or lighter, ...

Boarding
Cat Boarding Why board your cat with us? We have a fully enclosed cattery. This is contained in a fully covered enclosure. We have a double locking system so no cat can escape. Our cats are boarded seperatley, this is very important as diseases such as the deadly FIP Virus and Feline AIDS and Feline Leukemia that are transmitted through contact. Cats who do not know each other are also more likely to fight, making the instance of cat fight abscesses higher, another reason we house cats seperately. Our cats are not housed in small cages. They have seperate wating, sleeping ...
Dragon Care
To prevent disease problems in your bearded dragon, its environment should have ideal temperature, humidity and day-length. HOUSING The preferred body temperature of bearded dragons is 35-39 degrees. Enclosures need to be kept at a range of 2-3 degrees either side of their body temperature. A 40-75 watt blue light or an infrared heat lamp should be provided at one end of the enclosure. Rocks or logs need to be placed under or around the heat lamp for basking. A good source of ultraviolet light (either natural sunlight or artificial UV light) helps prevent vitamin D deficiency, skin and bone disorders. You will need to replace the ...
Turtle Care
Turtles spend most of their lives in the water, but they do enjoy regular access to sunshine. DIET Turtles feed on aquatic animals and plants. Turtles need a good variety of vegetables eg: carrot, capsicum, bok choy, spinach and other green leafy vegetables. Whole fish, like whitebait (not fish fillet) is ideal food. Once a week replace the fish with a meal of preferably bloodworms. Short neck turtles also enjoy occasional crustaceans (prawns or yabbies), or insects (crickets & woodies). Feed turtles in the water, they will eat while submerged. Young small turtles (10-50 cent piece size) feed every day. Older turtles (1-2 years of age) feed every second day. Larger turtles (butter plate to ...

“Jess” BlackOur dog Jess was found to have a large mouth cancer. We were told that there wasn't much that could be done. Our vet thought it might be better to euthanase. We looked on the net for answers and found Menai Vet did laser treatment. After phone discussions, we flew Jess down to Sydney for laser surgery. She was treated at Menai Vet on arrival...

From Narelle Spencer (Head Nurse)
NARELLE SPENCER If someone were to ask me why they should come to us and not go anywhere else, I think the first reason I could think of is that our staff are genuine animal lovers. From our vet, Kay, to our junior nurses, we all have pets and pride ourselves on taking care of your pet the way we would want our own pets looked after. ... [Read more of this review]
From Adrienne Anderson
We just wanted to thank you for the wonderful care and kindness that you have given our dear cat Tosca over the years. We'll always remember the amazing dedication and the effort that Kay put in when she was fighting to save Tosca's eye all those years ago. In the end, the eye had to go but that really never stopped Tosca... [Read more of this review]
From Stephen & Robyn Barrington
During this period, we have had two of our beloved pets under their care – Misty, our beautiful Boxer girl was the first. Misty was diagnosed with a heart problem and thanks to the professional and caring attention provided by Kay and her staff, we were able to have her with us for 8 years. I believe it was only this superior... [Read more of this review]

As directed, we brought our dog to Dr Kay at Menai Animal Hospital, and have been coming here ever since. Over those years our dog has required surgery and hospitalisation on a number of occasions, and we have found Kay... [Read more of this review]
