Direct Vet Services

Licking is a natural behaviour for pets, but have you ever wondered what they’re trying to tell you?

Here are the top reasons behind all those wet kisses:
😽 Love & Grooming: Licking is a primary sign of affection learnt straight from their mum, who groomed them as a sign of care.
😽 Seeking Attention: Your pet might give you a gentle nudge and a lick when they want pats, play, or treats.
😽 A Taste of Salt: The natural salt on your skin offers a unique and pleasing sensory experience for your furry friend.

When to Keep an Eye Out

While licking is usually just a sweet gesture of love, excessive licking or sudden changes in their behaviour can be a red flag. If you notice a sudden shift, it could point to an underlying health issue or anxiety that requires a check-up with the vet.

Did you know we offer GapOnly® at Direct Vet Services?

GapOnly® is a payment service that works with selected pet insurance brands, so you can access your pet insurance benefit right away for eligible expenses.

That means, rather than paying us the full invoice upfront and waiting days to be reimbursed, we submit your claim on the spot, on your behalf, while you’re at our clinic.
Your claim is generally assessed within 10 minutes, and if approved, you just pay us the gap – the amount not covered by your pet insurance policy.

If you have any questions about this service, please don’t hesitate to give one our friendly reception staff a call at 93691822

Direct Vet Services has partnered with PetPA for online store and wellness plans.
PetPA is 100% Australian owned so be rest assured that you will get 100% authentic Australian products.

*Feel free to recommend this to your family and friends. They don't need to be direct clients of Direct Vet Services to access.

🐾💚Dez’s X-ray adventure! 💚🐾

This handsome yellow Labrador, Dez, popped in to see us for some X-rays 📸🦴

With the help of Nurse Makayla, Dez was the perfect patient and did an amazing job holding still for his close-up! 🥰🐶

A few cuddles, a little patience, and plenty of encouragement from Makayla had this good boy feeling right at home. 💛

Great job, Dez! ⭐️
