“We have added two extra consultation rooms and have extended the waiting area as well”, says Kyle as he shows us around their contemporary practice based in Riduna Park (behind Honey + Harvey).

“We never intended to extend so quickly after opening, it was only when we were taking initial registrations that we realised the full extent of the local demand. Luckily the space next door became available, and we realised we will soon need all of it”.

As well as that they have also just had to take on another vet at the practice to help them serve the needs of our community’s much-loved pets.

The facilities at the practice include spacious kennel rooms which are clean and modern, offering air conditioning, as well as heating when it’s cooler. They have kennel sizes to accommodate all sizes of pets, from rabbits right up to their custom walk-in kennels for the large breed dog patients.

But it is their brand new 32 Slice CT scanner which really sets them apart from the rest.

The team have spotted early cancers and complex hairline fractures and a whole host of other ailments, thanks to this incredible piece of equipment and their expertise.

“We’ve even been able to use it to locate and then remove small grass seeds from the lung”, says Kyle.

Only recently one of the practice nurses had brought her cat in which was generally unwell with a temperature. “The CT picked up a pyothorax, which is a build-up of pus in an abscess”, explains Kyle. “Without draining the cat’s chest and a week of intensive treatment this could easily have become quite serious, but we can happily report that the cat has since made a full recovery”.

The Woodbridge Vets also offers modern lab equipment so they can run blood tests in under 30 minutes, often giving a diagnosis while you wait.

“CT capability is very rare in typical first opinion veterinary practices”, Kyle says, “this means you don’t have to drive hours away for diagnostic tests. We can see inside your pet down to extremely fine detail enabling us to provide a more accurate and timely diagnosis of both routine and potentially life-threatening conditions”.
