Veterinary consultations at Medicinal Plants for Animals

Welcome to our consultation page! Here's how you can access our expert plant-based veterinary care for your pet.

Your pet needs to have been diagnosed with a condition that may benefit from plant-based medicine.
Conditions include: chronic pain (eg arthritis), seizures, cancer, anxiety, chronic inflammatory/immune disease (IBD, atopy).
If you have access to your pet’s recent medical records, email them to info@medplants.vet
Alternatively, notify us of your vet’s details and we can obtain them for you
Use the booking portal on this screen to select a day and time for your online appointment.
Once you have made your booking, you’ll receive a confirmation email.
In the email, there will be a link that you will simply click on at your appointment time to speak with the vet.

Initial consultation: 40 minutes, $130
Follow-up consultation: 20 minutes, $80.
Payment is required during booking and is non-refundable.
We understand that things happen, so we’ll always try to accommodate you if you need to reschedule.
We do not charge a prescription writing fee.
The cost of medication is additional to the consultation fee.

You’ll be talking to vets experienced in plant medicine virtually via video or phone.
Both plant medicine and telehealth have their limitations. We are careful to stay within a scope of practice where we can provide genuine care to patients.
As we cannot physically examine a patient or perform diagnostic tests, we need to have a recent medical history.
This history needs to include a diagnosis for which plant medicine may have benefit ( chronic pain, seizures, cancer, anxiety, and chronic immune-mediated conditions).
Prescription depends on the individual assessment of your pet’s needs. Plant medicine (CBD) is not suitable for every pet.
If a prescription is written, we’ll send you a payment link. Once it’s paid, we’ll process it through our partner compounding pharmacy.
In Melbourne metro areas, we aim to have your pet’s medication delivered to you within 3 business days. We post to other locations.
We’ll write up your pet’s medical records and treatment plan and send this to your usual/specialist vet.

We’re here for pets with certain chronic conditions, not for acute illnesses or preventive care.
We’re particularly useful for pet owners who live remotely or have trouble getting their pets to a vet.
Contact your nearest vet or emergency centre for emergencies.
