      Healthcare from your Pets point of view!

      We know as pet owners you want a trusted, caring and committed veterinary team that strives for excellence in every aspect of your pet’s care. Pet Universe have been Telstra Small Business Finalists in SA in 2013 & 2015 as well as proud recipients of the coveted Australian Veterinary Associations Practice of Excellence Award for 2015.

      Our motto is healthcare from your pet's point of view. Is your pet perpetually fearful of visits to the vets? If so why not book a fear-free visit which can be made by special appointment. We use thunder-jackets, clipnosis, pet-calming music, warm towels & much more to calm your pet. Cats are pets too! We recognise that felines have their own special needs so we have implemented a number of cat-friendly measures to satisfy the exacting standards of the International Society of Feline Medicine and hold gold accreditation as a Cat Friendly Practice. And to help you settle your pets into Pet Universe we offer complimentary New Pet Health Check and Happy Visits for puppies and kittens designed to give both you and your pet a warm welcome to our Pet Universe.

      Healthcare is forever changing with new and improved ways of delivering therapeutic solutions to enhance your pet’s health. Stem cell therapy for degenerative joint diseases and continuous rateinfusion ketamine/lignocaine pain relief drips (used intra-operatively) are just two examples of how we keep abreast of the times. Pets can also expect to receive many of the sophisticated life saving or enhancing procedures that we humans now take for granted. Ultrasound, digital X-ray, ECG & the latest anaesthetics equipment means we can perform the most complex surgeries. Skin grafts, &fracture pinning & platings are an everyday occurrence. We even have patient's doing well on chemotherapy. Our latest service is now delivered by the Adelaide Canine Rehabilitation Centre, run by Dr Chris Lee who is a qualified Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner. The Centre is based at our Northgate practice which offers advanced orthopedics, regenerative medicine and a number of rehab modalities such as underwater treadmill, laser, TENS, physio, ultrasound and more.

      At Pet Universe all our staff are trained to personally greet every pet & their owners by name. After you've both been checked in & weighed you will have a full 20 minutes standard consult with one of our veterinarians. This long appointment gives you ample time to discuss all your pet's health & behaviour issues & we can answer all your questions on any procedures your pet needs. We also offer annual wellness packages with monthly payment plans, acupuncture, ,puppy preschool, kitten kindy, and retail a range of pet products and premium foods. Pets can get sick at the most inconvenient times so for easy access to our healthcare team we are open 7 days including Sundays at Pet Universe Broadview.

Our Northgate clinic is open until 7pm on Monday & Friday evenings, 8pm on Tuesday & Thursday evenings and 6pm on Wednesday when we conduct Puppy Pre School.

      How do I know which breed or species is best for me?

      It is important to take into account your lifestyle, family situation, income etc. before you decide on a pet that is suitable for you. Our friendly staff is happy to discuss this with you to assist you in making a decision that is not only right for you, but also for your prospective new family member.


      What is included in your Desexing Prices?

      Prices include a pre anaesthetic blood test to check for underlying risk factors prior to surgery, intravenous fluids, and blood pressure monitoring during surgery by a surgical nurse. We also perform a pre surgical check up to determine your pets health prior to general anaesthesia. Patients are provided with pain relief during and after and 2 post operative checks are offered as part of our standard service - one - 2 - 3 days after surgery and one 10 - 14 days later sutures are removed.


      Do I need to make an appointment?

      Yes, it is always preferable to make an appointment, so that the Vet can spend the optimum amount of time to determine the best care for your pet. Our standard consultation time is 20 minutes, which is longer than most other Veterinary practices. Of course, emergencies will always take priority, but we do ask that you give us a call to advise us of the nature of the emergency and the approximate time of arrival, so that we can be fully prepared when you get to us.


      Are you open on Weekends?

      Yes, our Broadview clinic is open from 9am until 1pm on Saturdays, and from 10am until 5pm on Sundays. Our Northgate clinic is open from 9am until 5pm on Saturdays. We offer these opening hours to provide maximum flexibility for all of our clients as we know how busy our lives are these days!


      Do you offer Boarding services?

      Yes, our Club Cat has 20 luxury condos. Condos have 3 levels including a hammock tier. All have a roam-alone hatch which can be opened up for access to the adjacent condo to create a "penthouse"(double condos). Ideal for a family (2 or 3) of cats across two adjacent condos. Play sessions can be scheduled for all our feline residents who would like to stretch and sunbake in our outdoor palm garden & cat gym. All condos are serviced twice daily and our nursing staff can administer medications.


      Do you offer grooming services?

      Yes, we offer grooming services at both our clinics in our Dog Spa - Wednesdays and Fridays at our Broadview clinic and Tuesday and Saturdays at our Northgate clinic. Bookings are essential. We can accommodate most breed clips, and also offer cat health grooms.
