Australia is experiencing a vet shortage crisis.
Australia is home to over 30 million pets, but only around 14,000 vets. This means that many vet clinics may not be taking on new patients as they struggle to keep up with their current clientele. Please be patient when trying to find a vet and remember to be kind to our dedicated industry staff.
