A wonderfully professional and caring practice. My little dog has seen 3 different vets at the practice and each one has been equally caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and thorough. They are reasonably priced and will work hard to ensure they can fit us in.

My dog Scampy needed a fairly serious operation in his rear, 2 times in fact, the Male surgeon was fantastic and even dropped the price on the second surgery as it was easier the 2nd time round but he knew it was becoming costly for me, he saved my dogs life, the staff are all lovely and i would highly recommend these guys.

We rescued our huge girl Lola (neo mastiff x great dane) a year ago after we lost our older dog, both were cared for by Western suburbs. Alistair and the team treated Lola as she was infested with heartworm and she is now fit and healthy. Recently they treated her after a nasty fight with our other dog and she was loved and cared for as if she were there own. I would not go anywhere else with our dogs.
