Kristina has been coming to our home to see my 2 dogs and cat for around 5 years. The care and compassion she showed toward my elderly dog on her monthly visits here for him was phenomenal.
It was also an honour to have Kristina be the one to help my Boston cross over, as I said, he loved her presence and I know he would have wanted her to be one to help him across too. I am also very very grateful to have had the option to set Boston free in our own space, at home.
Thank you both Kristina & Andrew, from all of us! 🐶🐶😺
So happy to have found Kristina! She came and saw our dog John promptly after being unsuccessful with many vets not wanting to take new clients. Kristina saw us within 2 days and was so lovely you can tell she really cares. John had an ear infection and doesn't like stuff being put in his ears… Kristina was efficient and assertive which John needed to get the job done. His ears have already cleared up and he's so much happier to be on the mend. Highly recommended Kristina especially if your pet is a little harder to handle when it comes to procedures. Very grateful.
Adventure Vets offer a valued 'at home' service so important when we are 150kms away from the closest clinic. Whilst they don't offer surgical procedures at this stage everything else is no problem. They have welcomed our rescue dogs our puppy and helped us farewell our senior dog with empathy and care. We thank you very much!
I have a very anxious dog who hates the vet with a skin allergy and biannual citopoint shots. Every vet trip has been traumatic inc bent needles and carpark appointments. Now he is carried to the lounge and given his shot before he knows what's going on and then he can run out the back and wonder what the hell just happened. Not only is it less traumatic for both of us but its cheaper too. I recommend them to everyone!!
So grateful for the care and advice during a difficult time. Would highly recommend Adventure Vets.
I have had the adventure vets visit on a number of occasions for my pony and my dogs. Kristina is a remarkable vet and treats the animals with love care and compassion. I highly recommend. Thank you for all you do
Kristina and Andrew are always a pleasure to have care for our pups never go anywhere else
Thank you for your help today. Our sheep had some issues and they were there to help. Prompt friendly service no mucking around. Learned a lot. Very happy.

Frequently asked questions
What is a mobile veterinary service?
A vet comes to your home to examine and treat your pet. This avoids a clinic trip and lets the vet assess your pet in a familiar setting.
What areas do you service?
Greater Launceston through the East Coast to Freycinet. Regular weekly routes cover East Tamar, West Tamar, and an East Coast circuit including Fingal Valley, Swansea, Bicheno, Coles Bay, Douglas River, Lake Leake, and Campbell Town.
Travel fees may apply.
Why choose a mobile vet instead of a clinic?
Less travel and less stress for pets, better assessment in their usual environment, easier for homes with multiple pets, and more flexible scheduling.
Services & Treatments
What services do you offer?
Home consults, extended consults for complex or behaviour cases, vaccinations for dogs, cats and rabbits, microchipping, general health care with diet and behaviour advice, chronic disease management, sedation for grooming or minor wound care, and in-home euthanasia.
Travel fees apply.
What you can’t do as a mobile vet?
Some treatments need hospital equipment and a team. Examples include major surgery, complex imaging, and overnight care. When something is best done in a clinic, we will organise a referral, share your pet’s history, and help you plan the visit.
We then continue care at home with follow ups, medication reviews, and comfort care where needed.
Can you provide emergency care?
We're a mobile practice working by appointment. Our normal hours are 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, and we don't provide an out-of-hours emergency service.
If your pet needs urgent care, please contact:
Animal Emergency Hospital Launceston
Animal Emergency Service Hobart
or your nearest 24-hour veterinary hospital.
Messages received outside business hours will be answered the next working day.
Adventure Vets complies with the Veterinary Board of Tasmania’s Veterinary Service Standards (2023) regarding out-of-hours client communication.
Do you provide care for animals other than cats and dogs?
We routinely see dogs, cats, rabbits and chooks.
What should I do if I find injured wildlife, and is there a charge for wildlife treatment?
Thank you for helping.
Please call a licensed wildlife rescue service first. They will guide you on safe handling, decide if a rescue is needed, and arrange veterinary care. They also advise about any fees or donations. We work with these groups and are contacted when our help is needed.

What should I do to prepare for your visit?

What if my pet is anxious or aggressive?
You are not alone. Keep your pet in a quiet room before we arrive and let us know about any triggers. We use calm handling and short breaks.
If needed, we can discuss gentle calming options or a mild sedative ahead of time so the visit is safe and low stress. We can also plan a gradual approach over more than one visit.

We do not offer in house payment plans. If costs are likely to be significant, we can give you an estimate, explain what is urgent and what can wait, and can stage care where it is safe to do so.
We provide itemised invoices for insurance claims.

Yes. You pay us at the visit and claim back from your insurer. We supply an itemised receipt and any notes you need for your claim.
