We are a family owned business and we are fiercely independent. We are locals and proud to call Moreton Bay our home.
We are a well equipped, modern veterinary surgery, with a purpose built fit-out. Our goal is to provide high quality veterinary medical care for the animals in our care. Whether it is a torn nail, or a broken leg, whether they are a dog, a cat or a pocket-pet, they all need our help from time to time. This is also the reason we open every day of the week, and stay open late at night.
Given that we live locally, we are proud to support our local community and we have sponsored the Bray Park State High School, Genesis High School, Dayboro State Primary School, and the Dayboro Kindergarten.
Our clients come from all over the Moreton Bay Shire and Brisbane, and even the Gold and Sunshine coasts. We are located in Warner, surrounded by the suburbs of Joyner, Cashmere, Bray Park and Lawnton. But we don’t leave out the surrounding suburbs of Clear Mountain, Samsonvale and Mt Samson, Kurwongbah and Whiteside, Petrie and French’s Forest, Kallangur, North Lakes and Mango Hill, Albany Creek and the northside of Brisbane.
If your pet has a question for us, or would like to see us, you can call us on their behalf, or book in for an appointment.
As part of our service, if you like to see the same vet every time, you can. Let us know which vet has seen your pet before and we’ll make sure they see you again. Like your doctor or dentist, we understand that once you find the right vet, you’ll want to stick with them.

Craig's Soapbox
There is a new kid on the block in the town of cancer chemotherapy. This quick-draw is currently known as EBC-46. As many will have seen on Channel 9's "60 Minutes" or "Today Tonight" or Channel 7's "Sunrise", this new compound has been developed from a tree in the rainforests of Far North Queensland as a treatment for solid tissue tumours, like adenocarcinoma (breast cancer), mast cell tumours, and fibrous tissue tumours. There have been few developments as potentially earth shattering as this to my knowledge. The development of the wheel and Penicillin probably still take the top spots, however, this new drug (EBC-46), being developed by Q-Biotics (www.qbiotics.com), could be the breakthrough we have all been seeking in cancer therapy.
The reason this is so special is that traditionally, chemotherapeutic compounds have been only slightly more toxic to the cancer than they are to the patient. Moreover, solid tissue tumours often do not respond well to chemotherapy, leaving surgery as the only effective option in many cases. Surgery is suitable if the patient is young and the tumour is in an accessible location, though our cancer patients are often old or infirm, and if the tumour is in a difficult or essential location it may be inoperable. This compound might change all of that and has been giving good results in dogs, cats and horses so far in over 100 cases with no major side effects.
The drug is expected to be available for veterinary use in late 2012 and we will keep you posted. C.
