The 5 best mobile vets on the Gold Coast for happy and healthy furry companions
We fur parents can all agree on one thing – our fur babies mean the world to us. Seeing them sick or unwell hurts so much, like a piece of our heart is missing.
While taking our pets to the vet is a good option, some fur babies are just too anxious to go, and forcing them can feel heartbreaking.
The struggle of coaxing them into the car or the stress of waiting in a room filled with unfamiliar smells can be overwhelming for them.
But there’s a solution: mobile vets on the Gold Coast. These professionals bring stress-free, safe, and convenient medical care right to your doorstep, ensuring your pet feels comfy and secure.
To make your search easier, our team has compiled a list of the best mobile vets in the city. Keep reading to discover top-rated professionals who can cater to your pet’s needs without the stress of a traditional clinic visit!
How much do mobile vets on the Gold Coast cost?
Mobile vet services on the Gold Coast cost $140 for a standard visit, with consultation ranging from $120 to $150 and vaccinations starting at $120.
1. Gold Coast Mobile Vet
Contact: [email protected] | +61488768870
Business hours: Monday – Friday 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM
Gold Coast Mobile Vet, founded by Dr. Suzie, aims to provide medical care for pets with limited mobility, travel anxiety, or those who simply feel comfortable at home.
They offer a wide range of medical care from vaccinations and preventative treatments to general health assessments and diagnostic tests. On top of that, they accept all types of pets, like cats, dogs, birds, and small mammals.
Clients praise their gentle approach, positive interactions, and ability to minimise anxiety during appointments. We witnessed this firsthand, and we can guarantee that Dr. Suzie is really amazing at what she does.
They also don’t charge travel fees within the Gold Coast service area, though standard consultations start at $159 – slightly above average. However, re-visits are cheaper at $129.
Families with multiple pets benefit from a 20% discount on vaccinations and consultations for second and subsequent pets, making their service more affordable.
However, their responsiveness is limited and they can’t cater to emergencies outside business hours. While their service is ideal for routine and scheduled care, it’s wise to have an emergency vet as a backup for after-hours needs.
Patience, kindness & empathy was beyond extraordinary
“Thank you so much Suzie, your patience, kindness & empathy was beyond extraordinary. I 100% recommend Gold Coast Mobile Vet for any of your pets needs. Absolutely amazing care & so great with our beloved fur babies.”

No more anxiety from him

2. Paws & Relax Mobile Vet
Contact: [email protected] | +61484613668
Business hours:
- Monday – Tuesday 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
- Thursday – Friday 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Paws & Relax Mobile Vet offers services ranging from basic check-ups to treating minor illnesses and injuries like ear, eye, or skin infections.
With over 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine, we were impressed upon hearing that they can cater to both general health and emergency cases.
Our team noticed their advanced and well-maintained tools – a good indication that they prioritise accurate diagnostics and effective home treatments.
When our dog, Jaguar, needed an urgent blood test, Dr. Kerri performed the test on the spot, using their portable lab equipment. Within minutes, we had the results and a clear treatment.
On top of that, Dr. Kerri is so hands-on in delivering their service. She even reached out and offered home food deliveries for pets requiring close dietary attention.
A standard home visit, including a full health check-up, costs $139, with all the fees discussed upfront for easy planning.
However, they don’t handle emergencies outside their business hours. Plus, they only serve within the Gold Coast area, with no clarity on travel beyond specific zones.
With care and compassion
“Dear Dr Kerri Chelsea was a very special part of our lives we loved her dearly we appreciate the opportunity to spend those last precious moments with her. You were able to end her suffering with care and compassion. Again thank you for everything.”
– Bill Morley, Google Review
Simply amazing
“I come across Dr Kerri when I was needing to get 2 cats & dog vaccinated before going into a Cattery. To save the stress on all of us I searched for a mobile vet and I’m so glad I did as we hit the jackpot ❤️ I’ve seen so many different Vets over the past 20 years and no one has even come close to the level of care & compassion Dr Kerri provides. We have seen Dr Kerri several times now for other “Issues” from arthritis injections for my 19 yr old cat to most recently our 13yr old Jug crossed the rainbow bridge..Simply Amazing 😻”

3. HousePaws Mobile Vet
Contact: [email protected] | +61455111226
Business hours:
- Monday – Tuesday 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
- Thursday -Sunday 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Clients love HousePaws Mobile Vet for their varied services, from general care like vaccinations and check-ups to chronic illness management and senior health plans.
During our interview, we discovered that Dr. Angela, the founder of HousePaws, has extensive medical experience and expertise in treating various conditions.
This includes seamlessly blending traditional methods with innovative approaches like using CBD oils to alleviate chronic pain in senior pets.
Speaking of which, what truly stands out to us is their compassionate, unconventional approach to senior care. For example, one senior dog with arthritis received a personalised plan combining CBD oil, gentle physiotherapy, and dietary adjustments.
Their willingness to explore alternative ways to improve a pet’s health is unmatched. That’s why we find their pricing reasonable, despite their higher upfront costs, with the initial consultation rate at $150 and revisits at $130.
The downside is that there is no mention of any emergency services offered. Plus, due to high demand, wait times can be longer than usual, leading to booking delays and inefficient customer support.
Dr Angela helped alleviate the pain
“Dr Angela is an angel. She was the first to answer our desperate calls on a Sunday early morning and arrived our place in 3 hours in a torrential rain, other side of the Gold Coast, helped our beloved 18 year old cat find the respite he needed and gave us strength, compassion, and understanding in such a traumatic time. We will be forever grateful Dr Angela helped alleviate the pain of an otherwise extremely sad day. Angela treated our cats with so much love and respect. A star!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

Exceptional during an incredibly difficult time
“Angela at House Paw Vets was truly exceptional during an incredibly difficult time. She provided compassionate care for my dog during the euthanasia process and was incredibly supportive of my decision. Her kindness and professionalism helped ease the emotional pain, and she even assisted in arranging my dog’s pick-up, as I couldn’t make that call myself. I’m deeply grateful for her help and support during this difficult time. Thank you, Angela, for everything.”

4. My Kind of Vet
Location: Unit 8/29 Blanck St, Ormeau
Contact: [email protected] | +61755466756
Business hours: Monday – Friday 7:45 AM – 5:30 PM
While they operate physically as a clinic, My Kind of Vet also offers mobile vet services, including wellness tests, dental care, microchipping, and more! They treat cats, dogs, birds, turtles, and other exotic pets you have.
Based on interviews with past clients, most of them praised their customer support for being responsive, thorough, and highly accommodating. They even handle pet insurance claims – just provide your policy number.
Their user-friendly website makes the booking process easy, with 24/7 virtual support. While a single consultation starts at $159, which is a high cost, their subscription-based packages offer a cheaper option.
Another downside is that they don’t offer aftercare services, which could be a drawback for pet owners seeking follow-up support or long-term care plans.
Amazing job at caring for our dog
“We can’t speak highly enough about the team at My Kind Of Vet. Especially, Dr Magda, who is the most gentle, caring Vet. Dr Magda and the nurses did an amazing job at caring for our dog who sadly could not stay with us. They provided the most beautiful at home passing for her and we are so grateful for their compassion and professionalism.”
– Samantha Golden, Google Review
Incredibly responsive
“We’ve had the pleasure of using My kind of Vet, for at-home services for our cat, Bentley, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Every time we’ve called, they’ve been incredibly responsive and caring, always going above and beyond to provide excellent service. As we’ve faced several issues with Bentley, which can be overwhelming on top of everything else, they have consistently helped us feel at ease. Their professionalism and kindness have made a difficult process so much easier, and we truly appreciate everything they’ve done for our family. Highly recommend 💙”

5. Peaceful Paws Vet
Contact: [email protected] | +61402175872
Business hours:
- Monday – Friday 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
- Saturday – Sunday 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Peaceful Paws Vet is a mobile vet service focused on providing pets and pet owners a stress-free experience during palliative care or end-of-life transitions.
They also handle aftercare, including funeral arrangements and remains pickup.
We find their home euthanasia a very comforting service, allowing pet owners to design their preferred personalised farewells. They provide paw print mementos, grief counselling, and follow-up calls for support.
Such a holistic approach underscores their commitment to compassion, easing the burden during an emotional time.
They also offer a Quality of Life Calculator to assess your pet’s well-being through pain levels and happiness metrics. This tool helps pet owners make informed care decisions.
However, they don’t accept same-day bookings, requiring you to book at least 2 to 3 days before the appointment date. Other than that, they don’t entertain requests outside their working hours, but if you insist, a surcharge of $80 will be added.
Kindness and compassion
“I can’t thank Emily from Peaceful Paws Vet enough for the kindness and compassion she showed when it was time to say goodbye to our beloved cat, Charlie. From the moment she arrived, she was gentle, patient, and incredibly understanding, making sure Charlie was as comfortable as possible in his final moments. Her warmth and care made an incredibly difficult time just a little bit easier, and for that, I am so grateful. I highly recommend Emily to anyone facing this heartbreaking decision.”

Dr. Emily was so warm and professional
“We had to say goodbye to our sweet boy Ralph in November. His limp turned out to be a very aggressive osteosarcoma and we felt so devastated with the decision we had to make. Dr Emily was so warm and professional and really put us at ease. She came at very short notice and explained the process and what to expect. Ralph was always nervous at the vet, so seeing him relaxed and comfortable on his own bed at home with us in his final moments was so comforting. Thank you for your compassion Dr Emily, it can’t be easy to do what you do. We are so thankful Ralph’s last day with us went the way it did. It has given us a lot of peace when the grief of losing him has overwhelmed us.”
