Small Animal Services
For all animals including dogs, cats, pocket pets, reptiles and wildlife, the Grafton Veterinary Clinic offers general and emergency care and services.
Canine Friends
Our dogs are a big part of our world, the companion that keeps many a person sane, many comments are made about the delight of having a companion that doesn't argue, fight, or complain - to many as the closest form of love. From being a fluffy toy to a boisterous playmate, hunting or working dog the canine is a world trusted animal and is as much a part of a family group as humans themselves.
Feline Friends
The animal that many cannot live without, the sometimes elusive cat can be also as personable as any owner may want. They measure affection on their terms and depending on breeds can be a more reliable watchdog and quiet companion than some canines. Some are sought to keep the rats at bay and do a quietly efficient job living in the out quarters of the property, others are the peaceful companion that curl up on your lap at the end of the day. Personality varies greatly as any cat owner will tell you. They are sensitive and intuitive and live alongside the canine.
Pocket Pets
RATS for the person without a lot of space, a sizeable and a stimulating environment can be created easily.
|
RABBITS have been a popular pet, and can be a friendly little companion when given security and gentle handling.
|
GUINEA PIGS are happy little critters and along with rabbits, rats and mice, when safe, secure and given an interesting environment will thrive.

Reptiles
Reptiles are in no way similar to mammals, they demand respect and care. Maintaining the correct climate is vitally important to any reptiles and understanding their needs is always part of the responsibility of any carer. Our reptiles need to have an environment that is as close to their natural habitat as possible. They do not seek out human interaction, and need correct temperatures, correct diet, the ability to hibernate and have the specific habitat for their species. |

Wildlife
Wildlife are often the victims, when their world collides with humans, suffering with injuries from contact with motor vehicles, predators and having their environment disturbed. They are occasionally unfortunate enough to find their contact with humans is less than humane, experiencing cruelty and abuse.
Farm Friends
Our farm friends are sensitive smart and personable when handled respectfully. They can readily become domesticated and show considerable intelligence. They defend their young, understand the hierarchy of the herd, communicate, experience pain, separation and can form very strong bonds with humans.
