Morley vetcentre

Morley vetcentre is one of only 14 veterinary hospitals in Western Australia recognised as an ASAVA Accredited Hospital of Excellence. It provides expert, friendly and affordable pet care for dogs, cats, and small exotic pets like rabbits, rats, mice, guinea pigs, birds, and hermit crabs. The clinic operates seven days a week with separate waiting areas for cats and dogs to ensure a more comfortable environment.

The Fear Free Happy Visits program focuses on positive experiences within the clinic by using high-value treats and short, sweet visits. Steps include bringing your pet in, meeting the team, and exiting the clinic while rewarding them at each stage to reduce stress. There is no fee for this program, and it is suitable for patients with low FAS scores (0-2) to improve their emotional state.

Morley vetcentre offers boarding for dogs, cats, and most small exotic pets including rabbits, rats, mice, guinea pigs, birds, and hermit crabs. Cat boarders stay in a quiet area with cushioned seats and scratching posts, while dogs have access to a run with adjoining sleeping quarters and a trampoline bed. Walks for dogs are available at an additional cost.

The clinic operates Monday to Friday from 8am to 7pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 5pm. On public holidays, the clinic is open from 9am to 5pm, but it is closed on Christmas Day. Admission and discharge times for boarding are 9 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday, 9 am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday.

The staff are Fear Free certified professionals, and the clinic uses pre-visit pharmaceuticals like Gabapentin and Trazadone for anxious pets. Patients are muzzled before arrival as part of the training completed in the VICTORY VISIT program to keep everyone safe during consultations or procedures.

Recent reviewers consistently praise the staff for being friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and caring. Many customers highlight the exceptional care, attention to detail, and the commitment to providing quality service that goes above and beyond to ensure pet well-being.

To be admitted for boarding, pets must have a current vaccination certificate. The staff prefer not to admit personal belongings such as blankets or toys to avoid them going missing. Reservations over public and school holidays are very popular, so bookings are essential.

Clients can gain quick access to the comprehensive Fear Free resource kit by emailing the clinic. The kit includes information on practical skills to improve the emotional state of the pet and working together as a team to look after physical and emotional wellbeing.

On arrival, sedation is administered followed by a general anesthetic if required. The client stays with the dog during recovery, supported by Fear Free Senior Nurses. The process involves careful selection of the least stressful environment and clear communication with the consulting veterinarian and support staff.

Clients can call the clinic at (08) 9275 3000 to book appointments or speak to a staff member about boarding stays. The clinic does not accept email bookings, so a phone call is required to make a reservation.

There are 9 reviews on Trustburn with an average rating of 4 out of 5. The reviews range from 3 to 5 stars, with multiple 5-star ratings and several 4-star ratings, indicating a generally positive sentiment among customers.

The consultation package is referred to as the 'Supporting Paws Consultation Package' and the procedure package as the 'Supporting Paws Procedure/Surgery Package'. Both are part of the VICTORY VISIT program designed for clients committed to training their pet through Fear Free methods.

The steps include bringing high-value treats, booking in suitable times, and focusing on positive experiences. The pet is rewarded as they step out of the car, approach the clinic, walk through the door, approach the reception area, step up on the scales, meet the team, and exit the clinic.

The clinic is located at 20 Rudloc Rd, Morley, WA 6062. It serves the local area in Perth, Western Australia, and is accessible with easy parking for visitors.
