We offer a 24 hours Emergency Service from our 5 main surgeries; Innisfail, Tully, Ingham, North Shore Townsville & Ayr. Our services span from Cairns in the north, south to the Burdekin Shire.
Company History
Our practice began in Innisfail in the early 1970’s. In the late 1980’s we began regular trips to Tully. Over time we have grown and expanded both in the number of vets, premises and services that we provide. In the early 1990’s we started a full time clinic in Tully. Since then we expanded into providing services in Babinda, Cardwell and Mission Beach at regular intervals.
In 2011 we expanded into the Ingham area by purchasing Dr Paul Rowlands’ Vet Surgery and then in early 2015 we took over Ingham Vet Clinic owned by Dr Ian Merritt.
In January 2017 we opened our new Vet Clinic in North Shore Townsville to provide small and large animals services for Townsville and the Burdekin regions. In July 2018, we purchased Ayr Veterinary Surgery which enabled us to establish a base in the Ayr & Burdekin region to better service our client needs.
