Michael, Christine and the vet nurses are all wonderful. They have supported us through some really difficult times with our dogs and cats. They genuinely care for us and our precious pets. The best by far! I take 3 cats and have taken a guinea pig into these vets. They are affordable and more importantly my animals are calm in there presence.
Prompt and thorough attention to my best mate. Options were clearly explained, with great followup. West Toowoomba Vets is the best Vet in Toowoomba. Best vet. At all times the staff were interested in my dog and myself, being very informative and helpful with a good care factor.

We use a triennial vaccine protocol for our patients. This means that this part of the vaccine the C3 part only needs to be given every 3 years. The immune response to parainfluenza virus and bordatella bacteria, like in humans, is not as long lasting. This part of the vaccination needs to be repeated yearly KC vaccine. An adult dog who is overdue for vaccination, or is being vaccinated for the first time, may need a C5 vaccine as a once off, or with a booster weeks later.
Our vets are happy to discuss and decide with you what is the correct protocol for your dog. Both methods of protecting your dog against heartworm are very effective, but strict compliance is necessary. If you have concerns about remembering monthly dosing or your dog is hard to treat, then the yearly injection is a great risk management strategy!
When a cluster of worms develop together, they migrate to the heart and cause heart failure, hence the name. The worms start their life as tiny larvae, transferred from an infected dog to your dog by a mosquito. The larvae take 6 months to develop into an adult. Until 20 years ago, heartworm was difficult to prevent and worse to treat, and countless dogs died from the disease.
Modern medicine means that it is now easy to prevent, although still rife in the tropics with infected mozzies becoming less concentrated the further we go south. Monitoring of pet dogs, wild dogs and dingos up and down the Fraser coast highlight an alarming depot of infection that poses a constant threat to our Sunshine Coast dog population.
We caution dog owners to be diligent and choose the least risk strategy to protect their pet for life! There are 3 elements to the vaccine which protect against 3 highly contagious viruses that are very common in our pet cat population. Due to the contagious nature of these viruses, boarding catteries are very vigilant about ensuring cats who stay with them have their vaccinations up to date. Kittens who are going to be allowed outside should also be vaccinated against FIV, with a course of 3 vaccines.
Where treatments are available, they may be prolonged and require hospitalisation to which there is a cost. For this and other reasons, we strongly recommend vaccinations. Generally, puppies and kittens require an initial series of three vaccines followed by an annual booster to ensure ongoing protection from disease. All Greencross Vets perform a comprehensive physical examination before any vaccination is given.
Your local Greencross Vets clinic team can recommend a vaccination regimen to keep your pet safe and protected. Unvaccinated pets are at high risk of contracting serious or even fatal diseases. You can protect your dog or cat by maintaining the vaccination program recommended by your Greencross Vets pet care team. Give our friendly team a call for more information.
