Cairns Pet Advice

Cairns Vet Clinic is your local expert in pet care.  Pets in Cairns face many unusual tropical problems  such as cane toads, ticks, heartworm, intestinal worms, the gecko tapeworm, skin disease and ear infections and leptospirosis.

This means that you really need to get the right advice from a local vet: for example, as in Cairns often require special vaccinations and worming which may not be relevant to pets in other areas.  Unfortunately even pet stores seem to be ill-informed about some of our common problems. 

For example, the majority of worm medications sold in Cairns for cats are completely inadquate to treat common worms in the tropics, so owners may feel they are being diligent while neglecting their pet's needs.
