What pet owners say
Finally found our favourite veterinarian! Maria Dunbar is fantastic. It was without hesitation we travelled across town in 9am traffic to have her attend to our dog's ears. He's a nervous patient to say the least but Maria's calm, careful approach had him still and she managed to get swabs and medication into his ears...no mean feat as he would sprint at the sight of so much as a bottle and wipes. She previously correctly diagnosed our old girl with Cushing's disease in the first visit, when we had seen at least 4 other vets who only offered band aid solutions to her several symptoms. Honestly cannot recommend enough. Thank you Maria and Pet Doctors

We (us humans and our kitties) had such a pleasant experience for our first visit to Pet Doctors Hillcrest. Our mama cat and three kittens felt like welcomed little celebrities and given we are new cat parents, it was nice to have such a positive experience! The team was absolutely lovely and I was surprised by how at ease the cats were in the space. Mama cat particularly liked the nice view from the window (see photo). We are stoked to have a great vet so local to us!

I was so worried about taking the cat to the vet and so was pleasantly surprised to see how well the vet calmed the cat. The vet Shanaka made friends with him straight away with some treats and pats and before long our cat was happily sitting on the table purring. The cat had an unusual swelling under his front armpit. Not wanting to do any un-necessary invasive treatment in that delicate area of the body, the vet advised antibiotics and to wait and see approach. That evening after the vet visit the swelling burst and the abscess drained, which is what the vet was expecting and hoping for. The cat is now perfectly fine. I am very happy with the decision that he made.
