Why North Ryde owners come to Lane Cove
Plenty of what we see from North Ryde 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 North Ryde 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.
What we do at Advanced Vet Care
Every one of these is done under this roof, by the team who will come to know your pet from the consult room.
Walking the dog around North Ryde
For a walk near North Ryde, two that people use are Kathleen Park and North Ryde Common. Others within reach: Moreshead Park, North Ryde Park, Nerang Park, Ryde Garden Central Park.
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 North Ryde clients say
We took our 2yr old Cavoodle to see Dr Matt for her first year vaccination and it went really well. The treats at reception, the genuine care from the staff and Dr Matt’s gentle touch meant she was a happy pup the whole time.
