About us

The Visiting Vet was founded in December 2012 to provide the highest quality care for your pets at home, in a stress free environment. The Visiting Vet expanded in October 2017 and built a small clinic where surgeries and clinic consults are preformed. 

​

Veterinary care is vital for our pets as they can not tell you what is wrong or where it hurts and they are extremely good at hiding any pain or discomfort. Vet visits are important for the health and long life of your pet so they can stay with you as long as possible. However, many families and pets find visiting a vet clinic to be a stressful and an anxious experience. A stressed pet can use their adrenaline to hide some or all of their symptoms. 

​

Seeing a pet in their home environment can also help our vets get a full picture of things that may be impacting on your pet's health such as, where they sleep, what and how much they eat and what is in their environment. All this information gathered at your home can be useful when dealing with disease, obesity and skin issues. 

​

Mobile veterinary services are ideal for:

  • Routine Care such as vaccinations and health checks

  • Preventative Care

  • Disease Management

  • Blood Work

  • Follow up Care

  • Palliative Care

  • End of Life Care

​

In multiple pet households, extended consultation times can be arranged so that each of your beloved animals can be given individual attention and care. 

 

The Visiting Vet also has a clinic in Werribee for consultations and surgeries, for those times when it is necessary for pets to attend a clinic. We provide procedures such as dentals, desexings, lump removals and other surgical requirements. We also offer a pick up and drop off service if needed. 

 

The Visiting Vet knows that for your fur babies there is not place like home.

About Us

 

The Visiting Vet was founded in December 2012 to provide the highest quality care for your pets at home, in a stress free environment.

​

Veterinary care is vital for our furry friends as they can not tell you what is wrong or where it hurts and they are extremely good at hiding any pain or discomfort. Vet visits are important for the health and long life of your pet so they can stay with us as long as possible. However, many families and pets find visiting a vet clinic to be a stressful and anxious experience. A stressed pet can use their adrenaline to hide some or all of their symptoms.

Seeing a pet in their home environment can also help our vets get a full picture of things that may be impacting on your pet’s health such as, where they sleep, what and how much they eat and what is in their immediate environment. All this information gathered at your home can be useful when dealing with disease, obesity and skin issues.

The Visiting Vet has a sterile surgery room in Werribee, available for those times when it is necessary for pets to attend a clinic. We provide procedures such as dentals, desexings and other surgical requirements. We also offer a pick up and drop off service if needed.

Ypelaan

Veterinarian/Director

Sandy founded The Visiting Vet in 2012. Too often she was hearing how difficult it was for clients to bring elderly, anxious or sick pets to the clinic so she decided to make it easier for them. Sandy has an interest in alternative medicine and is currently expanding her knowledge by doing a Chinese herbal medicine and small animal acupuncture course.

​

In October 2017 the surgery room was built in Werribee to expand the services The Visiting Vet could provide for clients and patients. Sandy is working towards getting a full clinic up and running but needs to find the perfect location first.

​

Sandy is owned by Dizzy, a kelpie x whippet rescue dog (foster fail), Indy, an American Staffy, Little puss, a rescue cat and a rabbit named Willow.

​

When not at work Sandy enjoys camping, painting, meditation and spending time with her 2 kids and husband.

Jodie

Admin

Jodie has been with us since the surgery room opened in 2017. Her passion for animals goes right back to her early childhood years of bringing home injured birds, stray cats, saving snails in the garden and adoring every animal she came in contact with.

Standing out amongst her five siblings as the strange animal lover, she takes her passion to extremes that her siblings don't quite understand but can appreciate.

 

Proud mum to her son and daughter that were raised their whole lives around rescue work. From cats, dogs, ferrets and some wildlife every rescue for the past 25 years has been an honour to be a part of and has made her the person she is today.

 

Jodes is currently owned by two dogs, one cat, two bunnies, two budgies and three ferrets.
