Urinalysis is a simple and effective way to gain insight into your pet’s internal health. Using dipstick testing, I can assess key indicators such as glucose, protein, pH, and the presence of blood or infection.

Samples can be collected at home where your pet is most comfortable.

All results are documented and forwarded to your regular veterinarian for interpretation, diagnosis, and any necessary treatment planning.

Microchipping is a quick, safe, and permanent form of identification for your pet.

I also complete the microchip registration for you, ensuring your pet’s details are correctly recorded so the chip can be recognised and accessed anywhere in Queensland. This gives you peace of mind that your pet can always be identified and safely returned home if lost.
