The holiday season is here - a time filled with family gatherings, road trips, festive food, and warm summer weather. While it’s an exciting time for us, it can also be one of the most challenging seasons for our pets. With changes in routine, travel, high temperatures, and more social activity, pets across Brisbane, Moreton Bay, Caboolture, North Lakes, Redcliffe, and the Sunshine Coast often need a little extra support.
That’s where mobile vet care becomes a true gift - bringing calm, personalised veterinary care right to your doorstep
Why Holidays Can Be Stressful for Pets
As we move into Christmas and New Year’s, pets can easily feel overwhelmed. More visitors, new environments, loud noises, and festive foods can be confusing or even dangerous.
Some common holiday-season challenges include:
Heat stress during Queensland’s hot summer
Fireworks and loud celebrations causing anxiety
Digestive issues due to rich holiday treats
Increased risk of ticks, fleas, and insects
More time outdoors, leading to injuries or allergies
Travel-related stress for pets on road trips
For families juggling holiday plans, work shutdown periods, or gatherings, getting to a vet clinic isn’t always easy. That’s why more locals in Brisbane North, Caboolture, Morayfield, Burpengary, and Caloundra are turning to mobile vet services to keep their pets safe and comfortable.

Holiday Safety Tips for Pets in Brisbane & Surrounding Suburbs
Whether you're staying home or travelling, here are essential tips to keep your fur babies safe this season.
1. Protect Pets from Queensland’s Summer Heat
High temperatures in Brisbane, Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast can lead to dehydration or heatstroke, especially in dogs.
Ensure constant access to clean water
Avoid midday outdoor activities
Provide shaded areas
Never leave pets in a parked car
A quick mobile vet check-up can ensure your pet is healthy enough for summer activities.
2. Watch Out for Festive Foods
Foods like chocolate, grapes, cooked bones, onions, fatty meats, and alcohol can be toxic for pets. Make sure visitors also know not to slip treats under the table!
3. Prepare for Fireworks
New Year’s Eve fireworks around Brisbane, Redcliffe and the Sunshine Coast can trigger anxiety in pets. Help your pet feel secure by:
Creating a quiet, safe space
Playing calming sounds
Updating microchip details
Asking a mobile vet about anxiety relief options
4. Stay Up to Date with Parasite Prevention
Ticks and fleas thrive in warm climates. Ensure your pet’s prevention plan is current—mobile vets can bring products directly to your home for convenience.
5. Plan Ahead for Holiday Travel
If you're heading away:
Make sure vaccinations are up to date
Pack medications and comfort items
Schedule a pre-trip health check
Book your mobile vet early, as holiday slots fill fast
