dougal Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Wondering if anybody can recommend a good, practical vet. My regular vet with a lifetime of experience retired a little while ago and now I have a new pup I'm looking to find somebody that understands the needs of a show dog ie doesn't want to take a set of clippers to it!

Kavik Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I go to Asquith vet and have been happy with them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Ian Murdoch at Pennant Hills Vet Hospital. I travel 40 mins (without traffic) across Sydney to see him. Very experienced, very pragmatic and just plain nice. My animals are always very comfortable with him. Been using him nearly 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougal Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Thank you Happy to drive, have travelled an hour to my old vet, but always good in an emergency to have some one a bit closer. I have a vet 5 mins walk away, but last time I went there they wanted to do so many tests......my regular vet told me what to pick up at the pharmacy and all fixed, no tests needed just experience :) when my dog had a tick, let me do any clipping that was needed. Always suspicious of vets that take the dog away so you can't see how they are being treated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Even better is Ian's head vet nurse is actually a DOLer - just not active these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

posspossposs Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Asquith Vet is fantastic! Avoid Greencross at Turramurra (formerly Kuringai Vet) at all costs, they're terrible since they changed hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoid Greencross at Turramurra (formerly Kuringai Vet) at all costs, they're terrible since they changed hands. GReencross is just down the road from and I would never go there. I travel to Hornsby. I heard an interview on radio and the guy who owns the Petbarn company also has an interest in Greencross in Queensland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Petbarn was Mammoth Pet and that was acquired by Greencross. So it is more than an interest. They also own a number of specialist clinics - http://www.greencrosslimited.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Angus Martin or Penny Mead At Hornsby Vet. And Jill or I-Yu. There is another one who is to be avoided at all costs. Cavs will back me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky-Dog Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hello Dougal, our local Vet is in Collaroy Plateau, we cannot speak highly enough of them !!! :) Have been seeing Dr Boston since 1987 and cannot speak highly enough of the man and his practice. It is small but there is love :) If you need more info, please contact us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
