Welcome to the Maleny Vet family... where have you been?!
We’re so glad you’ve found us because our caring and compassionate crew are crazy about all animals and the people who care for them – we treat you AND your best friends like family!
With what feels like a million(ish) years of experience between us, there are very few problems our team haven’t encountered so we know that caring for our fur/feather/hooved clients starts with providing you with a good understanding of their health issues and treatment options.
We’re also not too proud to admit when we don’t know something, so if and when this happens we have an extensive network of specialists who we partner with to ensure continuous care and the best possible outcomes for our patients.
We’ve got your back! We’re here seven days a week and provide after-hours emergency assistance because let’s face it, pets don’t seem to notice that it’s a Sunday or 2am when they get into strife!
Maleny Vets has been an integral part of the community for a looooooong time and we get labrador-style-excited when making new friends! Your pets and livestock are in the very best of hands with us!
What We Do
Our clinic has a full suite of “machines that go ping” and ridiculously knowledgeable staff who diagnose and treat our patients with exceptional medical competence and compassion. Entrusting us with the care of your pets and livestock means you’ll be well-equipped to make the best immediate and ongoing health care decisions for them.
What Makes Us Different?
We are an independent, family-owned and operated practice which means animal and client care is our only priority.
We genuinely care
Animals are not "just a job" for us. Our team has a very unique passion for all critters and we also connect with and share great empathy with the humans who care for them.
We are available 24/7
We know animals don't work on human time, so we are open 7 days a week and most public holidays. We also offer on-call emergency care outside regular clinic hours - we have your back!
We follow through
Communication is key to our success. From the initial consultation, talking through treatment options and then post-care check-ins... we work with you every step of the way.
Well-Equipped facility
Our clinic is seriously kitted-out with state of the art equipment - better than many human facilities! This enables us to provide fast and cost-effective care for all our patients.
