About us
Over fifty years Tropical Vets have grown from one practice in Innisfail to a family of nine clinics extending from Ayr to Atherton.
Tropical Vets now includes 29 veterinarians and over 40 nurses and support staff. We’re lucky to have such an amazing group of professionals with diverse interests and stories. We value their contribution to our rich tapestry of experience, from new graduates with their state-of-the-art insights to the knowledge that comes from decades of hands-on local practice.
All our full-time clinics are equipped with in-house blood pathology machines, digital x-ray machines, ultrasounds, endoscopy units and specialised dental equipment so throughout the Tropical North we offer the highest quality services to our communities.
Words can’t express how grateful I am for the service we received. Our vet was excellent at making our loved 10-month giant puppy Waffles feel at ease. Not only did he keep me informed before, during and when his surgery was complete but has daily checked in, to make sure our little mate is recovering well. Very much worth a drive of an hour from Cairns for high-quality care. Thank you Tropical Vet Services, Innisfail – Jemma O – Google Review
