Why Lane Cove West owners come to Lane Cove

Plenty of what we see from Lane Cove West is everyday care, and we are glad to be the vet for that: vaccinations, dentistry, desexing and the worries that do not have a name yet. Where the drive from Lane Cove West really earns its keep is the moment a question turns serious, because CT imaging, orthopaedic surgery, disc disease work-up and surgery, chemotherapy, laser therapy and behaviour consultations are all done in this building, and you can book any of it without a referral.

That shapes the advice as much as the treatment. Our vets work alongside the surgeons and the behaviour vet every week, so when we suggest a scan or an operation it is a judgement formed next to the people who would carry it out, and just as often our honest answer is that it would change nothing for your pet, which we will tell you plainly and kindly.

Grass seeds are the local menace. They work into a paw or an ear over a few days, so a hand run through the coat after a walk is worth the minute, and if a paw is being licked or an ear shaken we are always happy to take a look.

What Lane Cove West clients say

My husband and I would really love to thank doctor Matt and the lovely nurse (I’m sorry I didn’t catch her name). Our dog ate some wooden skewers and AVC was incredibly accommodating and made a stressful situation a lot easier. Dr Matt was so easy to understand, presented our options and answered our questions. They even ran over their closing time to help. We really appreciate you guys!!
