Sometimes you're just not sure whether a vet visit is necessary—but you know something isn’t quite right. That’s where our nurse consultations come in.

At Murray River Animal Hospital, our experienced and compassionate veterinary nurses are trained to assess your pet and help guide your next steps. If everything looks okay, you’ll leave with reassurance and a low-cost professional assessment. If our nurses are concerned, they’ll arrange a convenient vet appointment—either same-day for urgent matters or scheduled for routine follow-up if needed.

Nurse consultations are also available for a wide range of routine health needs, helping to keep your pet comfortable, healthy, and up to date.

Do I need an appointment for a nurse consultation?
Yes, bookings are essential to ensure our nurses have the time to properly assess and care for your pet.

Will I be charged if I need to see the vet afterwards?
