Glenelg Veterinary Services provides small animal care to clients and surgical referral services to neighbouring veterinary practices. The practice is owned by veterinarian Nicola Pattison and opened as a two day a week branch practice of Portland Veterinary Clinic in 2000. Since then the practice has grown, and it now employs seven staff (including 3 vets) and is open five days a week.
Nicola also provides emergency services out of hours, and is always just a phone call away. The backbone of the practice is care of cats, dogs, and smaller pets throughout their long lives. We provide routine care options such as vaccinations, desexing and microchipping, as well as providing high level diagnostic services and medical and surgical treatments.

Because pets age so rapidly, major health changes can occur in a short amount of time. The risk of cancer, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, heart disease and other serious conditions all increase with age. Today's pets are living longer than ever, chances are that many may experience a potentially serious illness during their lifetime.
Vaccination has revolutionised control of infectious disease in our pets. It is essential that all pets are adequately vaccinated to help protect the pet population as a whole. Responsible pet care requires kittens to be given their initial course of vaccinations, but this cannot protect them for the rest of their lives.
A microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is injected under your pet's skin. It can be done during a normal consultation. The microchip is embedded with a code unique to your pet and is the most effective form of permanent identification. This code is placed onto a national computer database, so it is particularly useful in the return of lost pets.
Dentistry is a rapidly growing area of veterinary science. We have seen a greater awareness over the last 25 years of its importance to the overall health of the animals we treat. Just like humans, pets' teeth need looking after too! The health of their teeth and gum's has a significant impact on their overall quality of life.
