23nat Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi there, I am getting my pup next week (YAY!!) and am trying to work out what vet I should take him to. There are quite a few around my area (Rosebery) but you always hear stories so just want to make sure I find the right vet! Any recommentations would be great!

TigerJack Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have been using the Kingsford Veterinary Hospital for all my crew for the last 6 years or so. Andrew is the head vet and we've been seeing a new young vet (Kathy) lately. 70 Gardeners Rd Kingsford, 96626703. Driving east, go just past it and turn left at retravision (before the servo) and park in their parking spots. I have so many dogs that they give me the 'gold client' discount, I am always in there. We've had a few surgeries (anal glands removed from my chi following endless abscesses, cancer plus whole toe removed from my Dane plus several other lumps removed, at least 7 desexing ops, gashes sutured, tooth holes dressed) plus a corneal ulcer treated just a couple of weeks ago. They were also very caring and supportive when I finally had my Dane put down earlier this year. Arranged the cremation and wooden casket etc and didn't mention money while I was there in tears. We dealt with payment a few weeks later. They often ring to follow up on how a dog is doing after some treatment or other. Half the time they don't charge me for a followup visit (like recently to check the corneal ulcer 4 times over 8 days. I only got charged for the initial visit and the medication and one follow up. she spent a whole day in there at one point as she may have needed the eye stitched shut.) They also know I work in health and can help with keeping my dog calm during stitches, apparently not all owners are allowed into surgery. I've avoided at least two anaesthetics that way.

littlebear Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) I would never recommend Kingsford Vets for grooming but they're probably ok with the other stuff..... however I highly recommend Maroubra Vet Hospital at Pagewood they are great for both grooming and vet care. 88 Bunnerong Rd Pagewood Ph: 9344 8722 Edited February 3, 2009 by littlebear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
