In short
11.3 km from West Ryde, about 15 minutes by car, mainly along Victoria Road. We are open seven days, so the drive can happen on a weekend if that is easier, and you can book online or ring 02 8552 7800 and we will find you a time.
Why the drive from West Ryde is worth it
West Ryde is a fair drive from Lane Cove, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. What makes the trip worth it is the day something is found that needs more than a consult room can answer: 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 straight in without a referral.
Having it all at one address also means the distance is covered once. Your pet is examined, scanned and, where it is needed, operated on by people who work together every day, and the follow-up conversation happens with the vet who saw them first, so a long drive is not followed by a longer chain of appointments.
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 West Ryde
For a walk near West Ryde, two that people use are Woolway Reserve and Lions Park. Others within reach: Memorial Park Dog Off-Leash Trial, Anzac Park, Miriam Park, Meadowbank Park.
Memorial Park Dog Off-Leash Trial is tagged off-lead in the map data. Councils change their rules from time to time, so it is worth a look at yours before the lead comes off.
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 West Ryde clients say
Super huge thanks to Dr Matt and the team. We were pretty helpless when our Dachshund suddenly started dragging his back legs. We got an immediate appointment, CT scan done the same day and the hemilaminectomy done the next day. With Dr Matt’s guidance we’re now 4 weeks into recovery and he’s doing super well. Highly recommend if your dog gets IVDD 🙏
