Dr Kathy and Dr Ash are absolutely fantastic. The nurses are also just amazing. We trust them with all our dogs and rabbits. The whole team genuinely cares about the animals and go above and beyond. On one occasion we brought in our young pup which was in pain and distress literally minutes before closing time.

Very friendly staff

We had to take out cat Venus in because her mouth was very sore and she couldnt be touched and was refusing to eat and the staff were very friendly and Dr Ash done the required tests and our cat had to have a full teeth extraction. Will continue to see them there about any issues there are in the future. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Took our 6 week old kitten here for her first vaccination and the staff were amazing! Vet Kathy was great, explained everything in detail and got the kids involved by letting them listen to the heartbeat. Highly recommend the clinic to everyone 😀 lots of parking, airconditioned, relaxing vibe.

Nothing short of amazing

Dr Ash and the team have been nothing short of amazing with our beloved pets. Dr Ash carried out surgery on our 7year old Rottweiler and the love and care she received was amazing. We also recently had our new kitten desexed and microchipped and again the service was fantastic.

A second chance at life

A second chance at life

A big thank you to Dr. Ash and the team for helping me give this little guy a second chance at life. As someone who didn’t grow up around pets, I had no idea what to do when this little one showed up on my back porch in such a poor state. I highly recommend Family Vets Western Sydney to any pet owners looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and caring team!

Going on holidays soon?

Before considering whether to board your pet please check their vaccination records to make sure they have been vaccinated within the past 12 months. If your pet is due for a booster vaccination make sure this is done well ahead of the boarding period. It is a good idea to contact the boarding facility to check their policy as to how soon before boarding a vaccination can be administered.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Boarding Facility

When choosing a boarding facility, there are a number of factors to consider, such as:

  • How big are individual kennels?
  • Is there any natural light?
  • Will your pet have access to a run during the day?
  • How many kennels are there in the complex? Fewer kennels may mean a quieter, calmer stay.
  • Do the kennels smell bad? If so, this can indicate poor hygiene or ventilation problems.
  • Are the staff/owners welcoming, friendly and polite?
  • Did they require proof of vaccination? Vaccinations help prevent the spread of disease.
  • Are there signs of overbooking or overcrowding?
  • Do they provide food or can you provide your own pet’s specific diet?
  • Can they medicate dogs if required?
  • Which veterinarian do they use in an emergency?

You will need to inform the boarding facility of any health problems your pet may have had or is prone to. If medication is to be administered you should let them know at time of booking. Write down the dose, frequency and name of medication.

If on long term medication, please ensure you bring along extra just in case.  Please provide the boarding facility with our details in the event that your pet needs veterinary attention in your absence.

An ideal boarding facility for your pet has a relaxed, calm atmosphere, created by having fewer kennels/animals, a design that minimises stress and allows maintenance of a high standard of hygiene.

Please contact us or give call 02 9622 1200 to discuss boarding and determine if your pet is up to date with the required vaccinations.
