Why do Willoughby pet owners come here?
Willoughby owners come to us for the everyday things and for the ones that turn out to be more than routine. The scan, the dental, the operation and the check afterwards all happen in one building, with the same team. You can book straight in, and you do not need a referral.
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.
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 Willoughby?
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 Willoughby: Chatswood Park and Artarmon Reserve.
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.

Is the drive from Willoughby worth it?
For everyday care, plenty of Willoughby 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.
Advanced Vet Care have always taken immaculate care for our greyhound and are incredibly knowledgable, even with such a complex breed - they never rush our appointments, answer every question thoroughly, spend time getting to know our dog and they always make it such a calming, fun environment for him - he genuinely likes coming here! We’ve also had several surgeries which have always been successful, and they provide wonderful aftercare for him to ensure that we get the best outcome. Would recommend to anyone with cats or dogs, especially greyhound owners!
