Frequently Asked Questions

Our main focus is caring for dogs and cats. If you have a different type of pet, please give us a call so we can let you know whether we can help or guide you to the right place.

Yes, Logan Village Vets is simply the new name for the same trusted clinic that has cared for pets in Logan Village for years. While we are now under independent ownership, our commitment to the local community and to providing consistent, thoughtful care remains unchanged.

We know how important it is to see familiar faces when you visit. Our aim is to keep those relationships strong, though you may notice a few new team members as we grow and evolve together.

Logan Village Vets is independently owned by Dr Caroline Kerr and Scott Kerr. Dr Caroline Kerr leads our clinical team, supporting our vets and nurses and guiding the care we provide every day. Scott Kerr looks after the business and operations side, so each part of the clinic can focus on what it does best.

We usually start puppies with a C3 vaccination at around six to eight weeks of age. C5 vaccinations are then recommended at 12 and 16 weeks, with ongoing adult boosters as needed. We’re always happy to talk through the best schedule for your puppy.

Kittens usually receive F3 vaccinations at around six to eight weeks, then again at 12 and 16 weeks. After that, we’ll recommend an ongoing schedule that suits your cat’s individual needs.

Yes, we offer dental care as part of our regular services. If you notice bad breath, trouble eating, or changes around your pet’s mouth, it’s a good idea to have their teeth checked.

We offer blood tests, in-house pathology, and diagnostic imaging like X-rays. The right tests depend on your pet’s symptoms and what we find during their visit, so we tailor our approach to each patient.

Puppy preschool is an important part of what we offer, and we plan to keep it that way. Our program runs over four classes, so please check with us for the latest times when you book.

We accept cash, major credit cards, EFTPOS, VetPay, and Afterpay. We’re making sure payment options are easy to find as we update our website and client information.

Vomiting and diarrhoea can have many causes, so it’s important to look at the whole picture. If your pet is also tired, not eating, or seems uncomfortable, please get in touch so we can help work out what’s going on.

For most procedures, pets should not eat after 9:00pm the night before surgery to allow around 12 hours of fasting. Water can generally remain available until early the following morning, unless your veterinarian gives different instructions for your pet.

Yes, some drowsiness can be expected while the general anaesthetic or sedative wears off. Most pets may be sleepy or lethargic during the first 12 to 24 hours, with their behaviour gradually returning to normal over the following days.

For most procedures, your pet’s activity should be restricted for at least 10 days while the surgical site heals. Keep them indoors overnight and limit outdoor activity to short leash walks for toileting, unless your veterinarian provides different recovery instructions.

Contact the veterinary team if you are concerned about your pet’s recovery. Warning signs can include significant lethargy beyond 24 hours, vomiting, excessive redness or swelling, bleeding, discharge or problems with the surgical wound.
