Pet Food and Prescription Diets

Food for healthy pets
Dietary requirements of healthy pets vary depending on a number of factors including breed, sex, age and activity level. Whenever feeding it is important to ensure that an adequate supply of clean, fresh water is readily available. Moorabbin Veterinary Hospital stocks Advance Pet Food®, a range of premium pet foods for all ages, lifestyles and special needs. All Advance Pet Food® products come in both dry and wet form, are made here in Australia and offer excellent digestibility.

Advance Pet Food® delivers guaranteed palatability and contains no artificial colours. As additional proof of our confidence in the performance of our products, all the Advance Pet Food® range comes with an unconditional full money-back guarantee.

Our team is fully trained to assist you in making the right decisions for your pet’s diet. We can organise a weight control program for your pet if necessary and monitor your pet’s progress as it is enacted.

Wildlife & H5 Bird Flu – Important Information

We continue to provide care for injured wildlife, including wild birds. However, due to the detection of H5 bird flu in Victoria, please call us before bringing any wild bird to the clinic. Our team will assess the situation and advise you on the safest next steps.

If you find multiple sick or dead birds, or a bird showing unusual neurological or respiratory signs, please avoid contact with the bird and contact the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.

Please report even a single sick or dead seabird, waterbird, shorebird or bird of prey.
Do not handle dead birds.

Thank you for helping us protect wildlife, our patients, staff and the wider community.
