Theresadn88 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hey everyone I was just wondering if you had any vets (in WA) that you would recommend or do you find all vets look after their patients? Just concerned as I know when it comes to human doctors - some have better duty of care than others. So have you had any bad vet stories or hear that some vets are more thorough than others? (I'm tossing up between Dogswamp Vet Clinic and My Best Friend Vet Clinic [leederville]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 There are plenty of good vets in Perth, just depends on where you live and how far you will travel! Subiaco Vet is great, as is Applecross Vet .... both have had a good rap on this forum. I go to Vic Park Vet .because it's close .... Ascot Vet is also popular.

(I'm tossing up between Dogswamp Vet Clinic and My Best Friend Vet Clinic [leederville]) I used to use Dogswamp Vet and while I found the staff very nice their consulting hours aren't as long as some practices and of course our old boy always needed vet care when they were closed!

True, I think I'll stick to around my place just in case of emergencies, but Subi isn't too far Yeah I think I should just trust that there are good vets out there rather than worry about bad ones. I'm sure I'll pick up the vibe, and I can always switch hehe I'm just a mum-to-be doing (too much) homework in preparation for my boy haha I used to use Dogswamp Vet and while I found the staff very nice their consulting hours aren't as long as some practices and of course our old boy always needed vet care when they were closed! Thanks for that - theyr'e prices are slightly less than the one in Leederville (but hardly by much) and since I've heard such good rep about the leederville one, I think I might just go there. What sort of problems did you get into Drumbeat for you to need to have after hours care?? What dog do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of problems did you get into Drumbeat for you to need to have after hours care?? What dog do you have? I currently have a 3 year old Lakeland Terrier and am bringing home a 1 year old Lakeland tomorrow to see how he goes. We previously had a 14 yr old Lakeland who had a bulging disc which on a few occasions worsened and caused him problems. Sadly the last time he passed away in the vet clinic. We took our current dog to Vetwest at Yokine and were lucky enough to see a vet who was familiar with Lakelands from working in the UK. I would have recommended him to you but I believe he moved to the Carine practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to hear about that, but good luck with your 1 year old and thanks again for the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Subiaco vet is great. They do have resident cats though so if you have a dog that doesn't like cats, that's the only reason I'd not recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
