Peachie Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 We have just moved to "the country" as my partner says.... Really, we are in Asquith, 5 mins from Hornsby, but it is indeed very 'bushy'. Just wondering if anybody has any good recommendations for our new vet. The people i have met at the dog park have mentioned that Asquith Vet is a good one. I dont know any others around, actually i had never even been to Asquith before coming to look at this house for a rental. The dog park across the road sold it for me, fortunately, the house is gorgeous as well.... The vet must be experienced with greyhounds, they have specific needs as far as general anaesthetics go, heaven forbid one should be required. I am really sad to say goodbye to VetFriends in Chatswood, they looked after our guys beautifully and always got us in immediately for emergencies. I havent enough good things to say about them. I only hope i can find another one as good. I want to find the best around before something happens and it becomes an emergency and i have to use whoever i can find in the yellow pages. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I go to Angus Martin in Leonard Street, Hornsby. Have found them to be absolutely wonderful. As for greyhounds, I'm not sure about their experience with them - just ring and ask - 9477 1233. I used to go to the Kuringai Vet Hospital at North Turramurra, more expensive but they have everything there inc 24 hour care. Rob Zammit at Vineyard treats lots of greys, it's about a 30 min drive or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachie Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Thanks Dogmad. I will check them all out. I am sure they wont have a problem with me 'interviewing' them. Cheers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Archie~ Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Hornsby & Asquith are both terrific If you're after someone really experienced with greyhounds and willing to travel, definately either Vineyard or Quakers Hill (well known for their greyhound experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachie Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 Thanks guys. I will probably go with Asquith, as they are a stones throw away, but i will definately look into the greyhound specialists in other areas. I dont mind driving if it is important to see somebody very experienced with them. Fortunately our old vet worked with greys out in western sydney for many years. He saved my boys leg a few months ago, so you can see how sad i am to be leaving them. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbbb Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Peachie, we had a bit of an emergency and ended up at Asquith Vets for stitching. They were extremely good with Flame and seemed to know their dobermans and their specific issues with vWD etc. Although I only went there once I would definitely go back again if I was in that area.
