PROPERTY RUN DAYS

SCHEDULED VETERINARY PROPERTY RUNS IN TOWNSVILLE & SURROUNDING REGIONS

For horse owners, livestock owners, and hobby farmers, transporting large animals to a veterinary clinic for routine procedures can be a major logistical challenge.

To make professional veterinary care as accessible and cost-effective as possible, Townsville Veterinary Clinic operates a mobile ambulatory service.

By coordinating our travel into designated regional zones on specific days of the week, we are able to bundle property visits together. This structured system allows us to significantly reduce or completely share travel fees among local clients, passing the direct cost savings straight back to you.

OUR WEEKLY PROPERTY RUN SCHEDULE

To take advantage of our reduced travel rates, please review our weekly regional schedule:

TUESDAYS: THE SOUTHERN RUN

Primary Regions Serviced
All properties and agistment centres south of Townsville, including Woodstock, Oak Valley, Alligator Creek (and surrounding areas) and extending down to Giru.

THURSDAYS: THE NORTHERN & WESTERN RUN

Primary Regions Serviced
Properties extending from Jensen and the Northern Beaches as far as Rollingstone, up to Herveys Range and through to Kelso (and surrounding areas).

WHAT PROCEDURES CAN BE BOOKED ON A PROPERTY RUN?

Our mobile veterinary units are stocked with the diagnostic and therapeutic equipment required to perform a wide range of routine and preventative large animal procedures on-site:

Equine Dentistry

Routine visual examinations and power floating under safe, professional veterinary sedation.

Routine Vaccinations

Sourcing, transporting, and administering core equine vaccines (including Hendra virus, Tetanus, Strangles).

Reproductive Monitoring

On-property ultrasound scanning for equine follicle tracking, artificial insemination preparation, and early pregnancy diagnosis (if you have the necessary facilities).

Routine Medical Rechecks

Evaluation of healing wounds, removal of surgical sutures, and follow-up examinations for ongoing treatment plans.

MAXIMISING EFFICIENCY: WHEN TO VISIT THE CLINIC INSTEAD

While our property runs are ideal for routine wellness, maintenance, and preventative medicine, certain advanced procedures are far more safely and efficiently performed at our dedicated Aitkenvale hospital facility.

For complex, multi-limb lameness investigations that require specialized trotting paths, advanced surgical interventions, digital X-rays, or high-frequency ultrasound, we will generally encourage owners to float their horses directly to our clinic. Our purpose-built 16-stable hospital setup ensures our team has immediate, unrestricted access to our full suite of specialist diagnostic tools and sterile operating environments, ensuring the highest standard of care for your animal.

HOW TO SECURE YOUR SPOT ON AN UPCOMING RUN

Because our Property Run Days are highly popular, spaces fill up quickly. To help us plan our driving routes efficiently and ensure every animal receives dedicated time, we ask that you try to book your spot at least 48 hours in advance. However, if something comes up unexpectedly and requires urgent attention, please call us as soon as possible so we can work out how to fit you in.
