Covid Update 25th October 2021

Brunker Road Veterinary Centre remains open as an essential service.

On Monday 25th October 2021, we are introducing some changes to allow fully vaccinated clients to come inside our practice doors again. Until the 1st of December, we are subject to the 4 per square metre ruling, and only 1 vaccinated person per pet can enter.

When you call our reception on 49572269, you will be asked about your vaccination status and be guided regarding our new vaccinated or unvaccinated protocol and how it effects your entry, as per below:

Unvaccinated Clients:

For those of our clients that are not yet fully vaccinated, we will continue to operate without face to face contact.

Call our reception to order items, make appointments & general enquiries. If attending an appointment, please wait outside or in your vehicle and call 49572269 on arrival. We will ask you for your current contact mobile phone number. Please keep your phone on you and keep it turned on. Your vet will call you on your phone to discuss your pet’s health and concerns. Your vet will then advise you to come to our front door area for your pet’s admission with one of our nurses. Once your pet’s consultation is complete, your vet will discuss over the phone your pet’s healthcare. Masks are still encouraged near our front doors, and QR check-in is still required.

Fully Vaccinated Clients:

One adult per pet can enter our practice. Vaccinated clients do not have to call on arrival, you will be greeted at our door by one of our veterinary nurses, who will check both your vaccination status and your QR code check in, before welcoming you inside. Masks are mandatory inside our practice. Children under 12 can accompany one adult. We ask that you adhere to social distancing at all times.

Hospital Admissions of pets for both Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Clients:

Please wait outside or in your vehicle and call 49572269 on arrival. We will ask you for your current contact mobile phone number. Please keep your phone on you and keep it turned on. A nurse will call you and discuss your pet’s hospital / surgery. Our nurse will then advise you to come to our front door area for your pet’s admission. Our staff will keep you informed regarding your pet’s stay and progress and advise discharge instructions. Masks are still encouraged near our front doors, and QR check-in is still required.

We are excited that the following services are recommencing on 25th October 2021. Please call our reception with any enquiries regarding the following services:

    Brunker Vet is outstanding. Our girl had Cruciate Ligament surgery and the vets along with the staff have been nothing short of amazing from the beginning. We still have a long recovery ahead however it gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands❤️ Highly recommend. ❤️

    We recently had our King Charles Cav in for luxating patella surgery. Brunker Road Vets have been so helpful in the aftercare process, and I couldn't recommend them enough for any of your pet needs!🙏

    Brunker Road Vet is the best! I have been coming here for 3 months with my two kittens (Inky and Plop) and the team is just amazing. My cats and I receive the most thoughtful, compassionate and caring service every time. I am always treated with kindness and respect every time I visit, and I feel like a valued person! Special shout out to our vet, Dr Mcdougal, and Ash, for taking the time to answer as many questions as possible about my babies. I recommend everyone go here for their fur babies! You will be well taken care of 🥰🐈‍⬛🐈

  • I could not speak more highly of Brunker Road Vets. From the wonderful reception staff to the experienced vets and vet nurses, the care has been outstanding.
    My beautiful kelpie, Betty, has had a few health issues over the last couple of years and recently went through a pretty major surgery. Thank you so much to Sue for following her instincts and digging deeper when things just didn’t seem quite right. Because of that, they discovered a tumour on her spleen. Thank you to Lucy for successfully removing it and taking such incredible care of her. The level of compassion, professionalism and dedication shown to Betty has been exceptional. Nothing is ever too much trouble for this team, they take the time to explain everything clearly, and I’ve always felt completely informed about diagnoses, medications and care plans. We are incredibly lucky that her tumour is benign and that we get to spend more time with our beautiful girl. All of the staff at Brunker Road Vets have been extraordinary, and I’m so grateful to have such an amazing team caring for Betty.
