Mobile Vet Services for Longford
Adventure Vets is based in Longford and visits Longford homes every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. For residents of this town, that means the lowest travel fee on the circuit and the most flexible scheduling available.
Longford, home base of Adventure Vets
Longford is where the Adventure Vets day begins. Dr Kristina and Andrew depart from Longford every morning and see Longford clients on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday before heading out on the Tamar and Midland Highway circuits. For Longford residents, that positioning matters: travel fees start at A$11 and scheduling is flexible across four weekdays. There is no need to load your animals into a car and drive to Launceston. The clinic comes to you, in the town the vet already calls home.
Adventure Vets is available in Longford on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from $11.
The travel fee to Longford starts from $11. The standard consult is $125. Additional charges may apply based on distance and complexity of situation.
Adventure Vets knows Longford pets better than anyone else
Four days a week, from your own backyard
Most mobile vet services visit a suburb once a week on a fixed circuit. Longford gets four days a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. That kind of flexibility is rare outside Launceston itself. If your pet needs a revisit soon after an initial consult, or if something comes up mid-week, there is a good chance a slot is available without waiting seven days. This is not a once-a-week service for Longford. It is a four-day-a-week one.
The right service for older animals
Longford has one of the older age profiles in the Northern Midlands, with the 60–69 cohort being the largest group in the 2021 census. Older residents often have older pets: dogs who have been in the same house for a decade, cats who have never left the property, animals managing chronic conditions that require regular check-ins rather than single-visit fixes. Adventure Vets is well set up for this kind of care. Dr Kristina manages chronic disease, medication reviews and ongoing monitoring at home, without the stress of repeated clinic trips for animals who find travel hard.
Farms, paddocks and multiple animals in a single visit
Agriculture, forestry and fishing account for nearly 9% of Longford employment, one of the highest rates of any town on the circuit. Many Longford households have dogs that work or roam, cats that are semi-outdoor, and sometimes rabbits, chooks or other animals that rarely see a vet because getting them all to a clinic is not practical. Adventure Vets can see multiple animals in the same visit at A$100 per additional animal. Dr Kristina and Andrew work through each one at home, in one session. No separate trips, no separate waiting rooms.
Home is where the accurate picture is
A dog who limps at home but settles in a clinic, a cat who seems anxious for no identifiable reason, an older animal whose movement has been gradually changing over months: these are patterns that home visits are designed to catch. Dr Kristina assesses your animal in the environment where the behaviour actually occurs. That context changes what is visible and what conclusions can be drawn. For Longford’s established households and long-term pet owners, this is often the difference between an informed plan and a guess.

So good to have a mobile vet available. Came same day and gave great care and advice. Put us at ease. Excellent.
We had a great experience with Kristina from Adventure Vets. We had our cat sedated and groomed and Kristina was patient and understanding. Our cat is anxious during these situations and dislikes grooming but he is much happier now with less hair! Thank you for helping him.
I have used Adventure vets a few times over the past 4 years and can Highly recommend Kristina they are brilliant and definitely my preferred choice for my horses.
These guys were so amazing! Helped me out in a pickle and were efficient courteous and looked after our little cat so well. Thank you so much! Definitely recommend!
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.
Extremely happy with the service we received from Adventure vets. We were able to have our puppies vaccinated within a couple days of calling and without the stress of leaving home. Reasonably priced compared to local vets too. I couldn't recommend these guys enough.
So grateful for the care and advice during a difficult time. Would highly recommend Adventure Vets.
Caring and professional. Love the personal service. I have a dog that hates vets but Kristina knows how to handle her.
Adventure Vet lives in Longford too
The most common booking patterns from established rural towns on the Midland Highway circuit include: routine health checks and vaccination catch-ups for animals who have not seen a vet recently, mobility and pain management reviews for older dogs, and multi-animal visits where the household has two or more species to see. Home euthanasia is also a meaningful part of the service for a community with an older demographic. The ability to say goodbye to a long-term companion in a familiar place, without a clinic trip, matters.

Can you help manage an ongoing condition in my older dog or cat?

Do you see farm animals or animals other than cats and dogs?
Adventure Vets routinely sees dogs, cats, rabbits and chooks. Contact the clinic before booking to discuss your specific situation.
What happens if my pet needs treatment Adventure Vets cannot provide at home?
Some things require clinic equipment: major surgery, complex imaging, overnight stays and emergency procedures. When this is the case, Dr Kristina will organise a referral, share your pet’s history, and help plan the clinic visit. She can then continue at-home follow-up and medication management once your pet is back.

Adventure Vets operates by appointment during business hours only. For overnight emergencies, contact Animal Emergency Hospital Launceston on (03) 6310 8499 or Animal Emergency Service Hobart on 1300 302 912. Save both numbers before you need them.
