NEGLECTFUL VETS! My dog had been going to this vet for approx 3 years. 2 years ago a lump started growing on his side. After my repeated requests for removal vet kept saying it wasn't necessary as just a fatty lump. It grew quickly into a very large lump and time and time again I was told he is not in any pain, no need to operate, it’s just fat. Another vet then takes a look 2 years later and agrees it needs to be removed and he’s likely in pain. Turned out to be cancerous! 6 weeks after that operation I rush him up there as he can’t stand or move. I tell vet somethings really not right. Response... “he has an upset stomach, just feed him chicken and rice for next two days”. Took him home and he seemed to be getting worse so trusted my gut and that I know my dog.. take him to another vet who actually listened to me and took one look at him and said he needed to go straight to emergency. 5 hours later we were saying goodbye to him in emergency. The apparent upset stomach was ruptured spleen and internal bleeding. He’d been in extreme pain all day and I was told he was fine, just an upset stomach. My dogs are family and I lost one of my best mates due to negligence. Manager rang me to discuss after I complained and showed no sympathy and was stone cold on the phone. Just interested in defending her clinic which speaks volumes! Stark contrast to the second vet clinic who reassessed him that had never met us. They reached out to convey sympathy and even sent lovely card as did the emergency centre who again didn’t know us. Would never let these guys near my pets again!

Our beautiful cat, Augie got herself lost unfortunately and we contacted Croydon Pet Hospital (CPH), checking if she had been surrended to them. The staff were amazing, they were extremely emphatic and knowledgeable, taking a full description of our cat and assuring us that if she surrended to them they would be in contact asap. We were relieved a short time later when CPH contacted us to say they had Augie with them. They were truly amazing, at no time did they make us feel like irresponsible cat owners and were very obliging when we asked them to contact the person who had found Augie to facilitate an exchange details. My cats have been patients with the clinic and i have always been pleased with the customer service and care however this was going the extra mile. Thank you CPH, we are extremely grateful to the caring people who assisted in reuniting our gorgeous girl with us.

  • Jaimee

The care, compassion and attention we’ve received so far has been wonderful. We were clients/patients of a nearby vet clinic for many years, but after visiting Croydon Pet Hospital for an urgent appointment, decided to start going here for our annual check ups. The waiting room is nice and big, and their team will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible. They are trusting, non-judgmental, and friendly. The atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming. Dr Jess is incredibly calm and gentle with our border collie, and understands the unique personality traits that come with the breed. She’s happy to answer any and all questions, and provides clear, easy to follow instructions for pet owners. Very glad that we found her!

  • Pauline C

I found a very unwell/injured possum in my garden today and was told by wildlife rescue to take it (them - she had a baby/babies) to a local vet. I went to another that was "closed" (never going there again) and then called Croydon Pet Hospital - another in my area and they were only too responsive and welcoming, and encouraged me to bring the poor girl in ASAP. Arriving they came out quickly and took her in and soon came out to tell me that she had unfortunately passed etc. Thanks so much for caring for animals that many people will harm. We have a new rescue dog (no he was not outside) and don't have a local vet and I certainly will be using Croydon Pet Hospital for him as they clearly are caring and responsive - thanks

  • Amanda Fulton

We have a 16year old silver tabby (Trixi) who can be a bit of a Grumpy Nana however Jo treats her gently, with care, patience and respect. She recently had her teeth cleaned and whilst she reverted to her younger days where she was more of a hell cat, when they handed her back, it was with laughs and smiles. It's also the only clinic we've been to who called the next day to check in on her. Additionally, Belinda is one of the most knowledgeable people for rabbit care that I know. If you have bunnies, go here, they are super lucky to have her on the team. I absolutely recommend these guys they are amazing and genuinely care.

  • Jess Lyster

Such a great vet clinic, all the friendly staff really seem to care for every animal and seem to put the dogs and customers needs before trying to make a profit (unlike other vets). Very well priced on the many times we've been there for our cheeky dog doing things she shouldn't, and they always run through all the options and are upfront about costs. They've also helped us very quickly and are great at prioritising when the dog needs it. Seeing that they often have a doggo or another pet getting pats in their reception area shows to me how much they all love animals! Thanks so much to all the team at Croydon Pet Hospital

  • D W

I took my golden retriever “Henry” in today, and just wanted to share my experience, the lady at the front was very helpful putting him on the scales, and instantly gave a warm welcome, then we seen the vet doctor her name was Apple, and she was just 10/10 and could not pick one fault in everything she done, she explained everything on what to do, what’s happened and how she will make our dog better. So well done guys you are a great business in our community, and I’ll be spreading the word on how great my experience was, and we will be back again for sure. Thanking you all guys.

  • Hana Wellington

I took my pet here on the long weekend (Sunday). The receptionist was so kind and patient. You really should try to book but I was desperate to find a good vet and walked in. My cat somehow managed to sprain his front leg!! Go figure!! Anyway, the vet was marvellous !! If I could rate them 100 I defintely would. They only charged me $145!!! I expected to pay more!! Thank you, thank you Croydon pet hsp....have now changed all my pets over. Just had an emergency visit today. The Team fitted us in no worries. From the Reception to the Vet.....BRILLIANT!! Cost very reasonable too.

  • Jane C

They were very kind and did their best for us, but I can't get my head around this upselling of burials thing. They did their very best for us though, including making sure I could say goodbye. In the past couple of decades vet care has become pretty pricey. These folks are really good and kind, but we've imported so much of American culture now that if you get a pet you really must consider pet insurance. There's no PBS or Medicare to help support their costs. They aren't all Jeff Bezos. And if you ever feel like doing someone a good turn, donate to Pets of the Homeless.

  • Linda B

The team at Croydon Pet Hospital looked after our beautiful boy Bailey and also took care of a baby possum we found inside our home. Each interaction with them has been professional, courteous and warm. Their costs are also very reasonable considering the amount of care given. When Bailey passed they sent a beautiful card with some very kind heart-warming words which I shall always appreciate & remember. Thank you to the team at Croydon Pet Hospital for your service to our community & your kindness. I totally recommend their services. ❤️

  • Sean William

I visited the Croydon Pet Hospital today without an appointment and was fortunate to have my dog seen to by Alice and Tiffany. The quality of service provided by both Alice and Tiffany go beyond 5 stars and although I did not have an appointment they took the time to ensure my dog was calm prior to providing excellent treatment. Alice provided an in depth treatment plan with a number of options, this included costs of future treatment and medications required. Thank you again.

  • Brenton Goodsell

Rang at 9:40 on a public holiday for our 12 yo Kavoodle who was is a bit of distress. Was seen by the most wonderful and caring vet at 10:15. 2 injection were given and blood tests performed. Diagnosis from the blood test given prior to midday. On a public holiday !! Vet has made a note to ensure we ring them with an update at 8am tomorrow. Could not speak more highly of this group. Caring, professional and kind. Would not go anywhere else.

  • Charles Sibberas

The team at Croydon Pet hospital have been caring for our family mokkies for the past 20+ years & in our experience the team do a fabulous job of taking care of our much loved family members.. weather it is just a simply check up or annual grooming OR a serious health issue the team always have the best interests & welfare of our pet as the highest priority hence we highly recommend the Croydon Pet Hospital.

  • Ron Smith

Max is a 15 yrs old Ragdoll cat had a bad stroke and was left with poor health . Croydon Vet not our vet at all,after poor diagnosis with Max we decided to ring Croydon Pet. The staff were brilliant for our needs,even during covid we where allowed to say goodbye in a beautiful way for Max . Thank you so much to care about us and Max . Eventually we shall get another animal you have our business.

  • Jo & Jamie Woodland

We took our super fluffy Ragdoll cat in to get a teddy bear shave and all his matted fur shaved off as he hates being brushed. I was nervous for my cat and as to what it would look like but they did an awesome job and it wasn’t too drastic. He was a much happier cat afterward and didn’t take long to grow back. Staff were very caring and communicated well before, during and after.

  • Kevin S

All staff at Croydon Pet Hospital are friendly, knowledgable, and more improtantly, are extremely caring towards my two dogs. One of my dogs has a range of issues, and they know him by name, always ask how he is going, and try to help me out (eg rushing to have medication available) whenever possible. Thank you!

  • Alma Pace

Amazing staff! They were caring and very compassionate when we had to take our 13 year old pet child for euthanasia. They gave us time to say goodbye and asked us when we were ready. They were very informative in a gentle way and we never felt pressured, even about the decision on what to do with the remains.

  • Sarah Bono

The team at Croydon Pet Hospital are super friendly and my animals love going there. The staff are always helpful and you can tell they all love animals. Quality care is good value here! The car park is bit noisier now because the intersection was changed so make sure you always have your dog on lead here.

  • Pammy

My little Japanese chin cross “Bobby” is most relaxed with the caring staff at Croydon Pet Hospital, there service is top notch, very professional and cost effective. We can be sure he will receive the best of care and we won’t be ripped off. We can truly recommend this professional courteous service,

  • Carmel McNeil

Croydon Pet Hospital was amazing. We had found a deceased possum with a baby sticking out of the pouch. We brought it to Croydon vet hospital and they took care of what turned out to be 2 possum babies. The nurse brought them out to show us and said their chance of survival was high due to their age

  • Trish J

Absolutely delighted with the service for my aging dog. I was 20 years in my last suburb and over the last 2 years in Croydon have tried most of the clinics, This one is the one clinic where I felt staff were totally knowledgeable and not just practising by rote. Extended hours which helps too.

  • Trevor Carroll

My dog tore off after a roo and cut her stomach open on something. The team there squeezed her in immediately and had her stitched up, good as new within about half an hour and the price seemed really reasonable to me. They were also really sweet to both of us.

  • Maddison Vernon

Just picked up our dog Jimmy after surgery and Kirsty/ kristy helped with the handover and she was absolutely so informative and kind especially around such a sensitive topic! 10/10 customer service and clearly really really good at what she does. Thank you

  • Sheridon Creed

This vet is always great, they take great care of my three dogs. It's a little more expensive than some other local vet's but I feel piece of mind when I leave them there for surgery. They've been caring for our dogs for 7 years or so. Very friendly team.

  • Nathan Borg
