Thank you for choosing CHVH for all your veterinary needs. Our animal care team is dedicated to providing excellence in veterinary care. We offer a warm and compassionate environment for you and your pet. Our hospital is a 100% Australian Veterinary Association member practice. Our staff are highly trained and experienced, and dedicated to caring for your pet as if it were our own as we value the uniqueness of the human-animal bond. We look forward to providing you and your furry friend with a holistic approach to treatment and prevention in every aspect of animal health care.


Regular Exams & Check-ups Annual health checks are essential to keep your pet healthy and happy. Your pet receives a thorough clinical examination and report during every consultation. We check your pet’s eyes, ears, skin, heart and lungs during every check up and also offer a complimentary nail clip! Vaccinations and parasite control are discussed. Feel free to ask any questions in relation to your pet’s health care and discuss any issues that may be concerning you. We do our best to get to the bottom of any problems on the day wherever possible. We can even run blood tests while you wait.


		Emergency Service Our lines are open 24 hours a day. Should you be involved in an animal emergency situation, call our number to speak with a trained professional who can talk you through what to do next. A veterinarian is available at all hours, 365 days a year.


Large Animal Visits / Herd Health Services Dr Vicky McClure has many years experience looking after horses, cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas and pigs. A 24-hour emergency service for large animals as well as consultations by appointment. Healthy animals are essential to the productivity and profitability of your farm. Herd Health Programs help you optimise reproduction, mastitis, lameness and nutrition. Allow us to create a visit schedule to suit your needs.


		Microchip Implantation A microchip is a rice grain sized device which is injected under the skin of your pet. The microchip contains a number that can be read with a special scanner. Your and your animal’s details are sent to two databases to help ensure a quick and safe return should your pet become lost. It is now law that your dog or cat be microchipped. We have three Australian Veterinary Association accredited microchip implanters on staff to perform this quick, safe and almost painless procedure.


Older Pet Care As animals age their needs change, just like ours. Our veterinarians will do an individual assessment on your pet and create a health program to ensure all their nutritional and medical needs are met throughout their golden years. Why not join our Senior’s Club (for pets 7 years and older) and help your pet live longer and stay healthier.


		Flea & Tick Control Anyone who has had a pet with fleas knows what a terrible annoyance they can be. We can offer you advice and tips on how to control them and which products will give you the best results. The Coffs Harbour area has one of the highest levels of paralysis ticks in Australia. We offer a range of topical and oral tick preventative medications to help protect your pet. We can also educate you on what to look out for and what to do if, one day, you suspect your pet may be suffering from tick poisoning.


In Store Pharmacy We aim to meet all of your veterinary needs as efficiently as possible, this includes having medication for supply when you need it. Big Range of Pet Care Products We are happy to announce that we are now stocking a gorgeous selection of collars and leads for both cats and dogs. We also stock a variety of shampoos, Kongs, nail clippers, treats and pet foods, plus many other products. If we don’t have what you’re looking for, we’ll happily order it in for you.
