Why do St Leonards pet owners come here?

What can you treat here?

Everything in this list happens in this building, with the same team who see your pet in the consult room.

General & preventive care Vaccination & puppy care In-hours emergency consults CT imaging X-ray and ultrasound Orthopaedic surgery Disc disease (IVDD) work-up and surgery Osteosarcoma treatment Dentistry Desexing Chemotherapy Laser therapy Behaviour consultations Puppy preschool Rabbits and guinea pigs
What having it all on site means for your pet

Imaging, dentistry and surgery all happen here, with the team who already know your pet. If a consult turns into something bigger, the next step is down the corridor, and the same notes and the same vets follow your pet through it.

Every plan is built around the pet in front of us after a proper examination, and we talk you through what each step is for before anything goes ahead. Most pets never need more than a check-up and their vaccinations, and that is a good day for everybody.

Where do people walk their dogs around St Leonards?

A lot of what we see in a week starts on a walk: a limp, a grass seed in a paw, an itchy ear, a scuffle at the park. A couple of well used spots around St Leonards: Brennan Park and St Thomas Rest Park.

Grass seeds are the one worth knowing about around here. They work into a paw or an ear over a few days, so a quick look through the coat after a walk is worth the minute it takes. Same with a limp that settles overnight and comes back on the next walk. Seen early, most of these are a straightforward consult, so ring us and we will take a look.

How do I get there from St Leonards?

It is 3.3 km, about 5 minutes in normal traffic, via Pacific Highway. Three parking spots behind the building, entry via the white gates on Austin Street, and more at Market Square or Level 1 at Woolworths. Because we are open seven days, you can usually find a time that fits around work and the school run.

Is the drive from St Leonards worth it?

For everyday care, plenty of St Leonards owners come to us simply because the appointment times suit. For the harder cases it is the imaging and the surgical team, here in the same building, so your pet is looked after start to finish by people who know them.

I love taking my cat Cosmo to Advanced Vet Care because their practices are highlighted in their name. You can tell they have put thought into everything from the consultation rooms that have been created with animals wellbeing in mind, bringing animals into spaces to calm down before consultations and the fantastic care their team give Cosmo each time he comes in. Made them my permanent vet after a weekend emergency and never looked back!
