FOR more than 30 years, Torquay Animal House has cared for animals across the Surf Coast, backed by a dedicated team and a wide range of knowledge.<\/p>\n

As the only local and family-owned veterinary clinic in Torquay, the practice combines a deep passion and understanding for animals with veterinary care to service customers and their pets.<\/p>\n

Animals of all kinds are welcomed with open arms, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, turtles, guinea pigs and more.<\/p>\n

Setting the practice apart is its commitment and investment in bringing high-end care to Torquay with advanced in-house equipment.<\/p>\n

Utilising the modern machinery, the team can diagnose and treat complex cases without having to call in a third party, reducing wait times and fast-tracking medical intervention.<\/p>\n

The practice houses an endoscope, as well as cardiac and abdominal ultrasounds, allowing the team to get an accurate and immediate picture of what’s going on with an animal.<\/p>\n

The local vet team has been caring for pets on the Surf Coast for the past 30 years, welcoming all kids of animals into the clinic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

The in-house blood analysis and cytology machines facilitate instant results, allowing the team to perform thorough investigations on sick pets as well as routine pre-anaesthesia blood tests to limit surgical risks.<\/p>\n

“Within minutes we are able to have important information for clients regarding their pets’ internal health,” veterinarian Mark Yee said<\/p>\n

“This means there is no delay in starting treatment plans or other forms of diagnostic testing.<\/p>\n

“It is hugely beneficial during times of emergency and we have been able to save lives with immediate test results”<\/p>\n

True to its family origins and a testament to its services, Torquay Animal House often sees clients across multiple generations, watching pets and families grow.<\/p>\n

This kind of experience and knowledge allows the team of six highly-skilled veterinarians to understand the journey of an animal and enables them to provide the best possible care.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yee said it is a nice feeling to be part of the Surf Coast community.<\/p>\n

“The Torquay Animal House team is privileged to be known as the vet to call for many families since 1993,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We also love meeting and caring for the pets who are new to the Surf Coast as the town continues to grow.”<\/p>\n

The continuity of care is strong, with some members of the team having been on board since the beginning and are fully supported in upskilling or learning more about a specific interest.<\/p>\n

Training and education are paramount at Torquay Animal House, with vet and nursing staff continuing to be passionate about expanding their knowledge and abilities to better care for the pets of the Surf Coast.<\/p>\n
