AQIS Accredited
If you're planning a trip outside the country with your pet you'll need to know what forms, vaccinations and blood tests may be required by your host country. Some countries require this process to be started several months in advance. The Gables is your pet export solution!
Veterinary Surgery
We provide a full range of soft-tissue surgeries from de-sexing to more advanced preocedures, all undertaken at our clinics. These include de-sexing, dental treatments and orthopaedic procedures. 
To ensure your pet's comfort we provide warm blankets for their post-op care.
Large Animal Visits
We are here to provide quality veterinary care for your horses, cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas and llamas. We visit you, just call to arrange an appointment.
On-site Diagnostic Lab Services
The Gables maintains an on-site laboratory, so you won't have to wait days for your pet's test results. Our fully equipped veterinary lab enables us to determine the best treatment plan for your pet's condition. In emergency situations, immediate results can be shared to help you and your vet 
determine treatment options available for your pet's health care needs.
Dental
Has your pet lost that sparkling smile? At The Gables we provide a full range of dental services such as teeth cleaning and polishing, and extractions to put that healthy smile back on your pet's face.
Home visits
We are one of very few veterinary practices in the Canberra region to offer this valuable service.
Micro-chipping
Every day a beloved family pet is lost. Collars get lost, but a tiny microchip that contains a personal identification number distinguishes your pet as a special member of your family and is the professional, safe and effective way to identify them.
Radiology
Our modern x-ray equipment ensures your pet has minimal exposure to radiation, while our automatic processor produces clear quality films. Within minutes we can have your pet's x-rays taken, processed and ready for interpretation by our experienced vets.
Pet Grooming
Our pet grooming services include clipouts, ear cleaning, nail trims and brushing
Geriatric pet care
We provide special attention to ageing pets focussing on preventative measures and the easy detection and prevention of problems. Older patients commonly experience the same problems that older humans do - heart problems, diabetes, arthritis, dental problems, hearing and vision loss, etc. 
Many of these conditions we can treat to extend and improve your older pet's quality of life.
Weight Loss Advice
Is your pet losing the battle of the bulge? If so, our staff can counsel you on the special diet options that are available to pet owners including pet prescription diets designed to specifically address your pet's food needs.
