Pet Health Checks & Wellness Exams
Because pets can’t tell us when something’s off.
Our wellness exams go beyond a quick once-over. We take time to assess your pet nose-to-tail, track trends, and detect problems early — when they’re easier to treat.
What’s Included:
- Complete physical exam
- Medical history and lifestyle review
- Weight and body condition check
- Personalised diet and supplement recommendations
- Monitoring for early signs of disease (dental, arthritis, internal organs, etc.)
- Recommended annually for adults, and every 6 months for senior pets or those with chronic conditions.
What we’re looking for:
- Dental disease
- Arthritis and mobility changes
- Weight gain or loss
- Behaviour changes
- Kidney, liver or heart disease
🧡 We allow longer consults so your pet has time to settle — and you have time to ask questions.
Monday – Friday: $109.90 | Saturday: $129.90
Microchipping for Dogs & Cats with Thermochips
We use Thermochips — a modern microchip that lets us identify your pet and take their temperature without the stress of a rectal thermometer.
Why microchipping matters:
- Required by NSW law – pets must be microchipped before 12 weeks of age.
- Unique ID linked to your contact info via NSW Pet Registry
- Thermochips = stress-free temperature checks
The microchip is placed between the shoulder blades using a local anaesthetic gel to numb the skin. It’s quick, safe, and lasts a lifetime.
🧡 We often do microchipping during vaccinations or desexing for added comfort.
🐛 Parasite Control for Dogs & Cats
Fleas, ticks and worms? Not today, thanks.
Parasites can do more than make your pet itchy. They cause real illness — and some are dangerous to humans, too.
Our team builds a personalised parasite prevention plan around your pet’s age, species, lifestyle and risk factors.
What we offer:
- Heartworm injection (12-month protection for dogs only)
- Monthly oral/topical protection for fleas, ticks, heartworm
- Annual flea & tick injections (dogs)
- Intestinal worming
Why it matters:
- Paralysis ticks can be fatal
- Fleas trigger intense itching, skin infections & allergies
- Heartworm affects the lungs & heart, and is often deadly
- Some worms can infect humans (especially kids)
Nurse Consultations at Rouse Hill Family Vets
Our Certificate IV and Fear Free Certified nurses are here to support your pet in between vet visits — with less stress, more love.
Common nurse services:
- Weight and body condition checks
- Nutritional advice and meal plans
- Repeat arthritis or allergy injections
- Dental checks and ear cleans
- Nail trims and puppy/kitten chats
- Friendly visits and confidence building
🧡 Great for nervous, young, or senior pets who need extra TLC.
