"Absolutely poor customer service"
"I have just had first visit with my 11 year old puppy boy for a general check up"
"Just wanted to share about the loveliest experience I had with the practice manager, Yvonne"
"If I could give 10 stars I would"
"We have been clients of Kingston Vets for 15 years trusting them with all of our Boxer’s needs from puppy through to old age"
Absolutely poor customer service. Made an appointment for a health check for our new puppy. We called up a couple days after to make a enquiry about the appointment. Unbeknown to us at arriving at the appointment we were told it had been canceled. Spoke to the manager Yvonne (from memory so could be wrong) to express our disappointment and understand as to why it had been cancelled and was given the excuse of it just being a misunderstanding and offered no apology and was happy to take the word of their staff over the customer (even though the staff member had left for the day). It appears they have not heard of the saying “the customer is always right”. Appalling service and blatant disregard for the customer. There are plenty of good vets (and more affordable) out there that are happy to provide good customer service and good veterinary services at a reasonable price folks so do your research. We have been taking our cat there for many years and did not expect this kind of service and quite surprised with the managers handling of the complaint who basically told us best we go elsewhere.Our friends and family had also experienced similar cases and have also gone elsewhere. It will be our absolute pleasure to go elsewhere as you do not deserve us as a customer - good luck. **Also have a look at their Facebook page - the evidence is there with others experiencing similar poor customer service and poor attitude from the staff that work there! The manager there (who is most probably the owner judging by her poor attitude and lack of sympathy) should be setting a good example and being a role model not the opposite.
I have just had first visit with my 11 year old puppy boy for a general check up. We saw Dr. Stephen Inglis and for our first impression I could not be happier. I was very impressed with his approach, patience, knowledge and advice. Schvercho (Bunny), normally anxious dog was a lot calmer and far less stressed from the moment we walked into the practice. It was the first time ever that he was not physically shaking while waiting for the vet to call us in the consult room. When settling the account and making follow up booking Schvercho also wasn't rushing to get out of the door like it was the case in the past. I must say that this is my first ever online review and I had to write it so that people like myself who are desperate to find the vet who they can see with confidence can find it helpful. Yes, this is our first impression and could not be happier knowing that with our next visit I will have more faith that my best friend will be in the honest and caring hands. Also not to forget that girls at the front desk are all very lovely and welcoming and it seems to be a very friendly environment for the animals and owners. Nice to meet you all thank you again Dr. Inglis and the team. Schvercho & Nikki
Just wanted to share about the loveliest experience I had with the practice manager, Yvonne. My dog needed a procedure asap. He's super scared at vets and has pretty bad anxiety. Yvonne scheduled the procedure with his well-being in mind, later drop off to minimise time in crate, and same with pick up. Making sure that extra sedatives were organised for Archie so he could be as comfortable as possible. The quote was super reasonable too, cheaper than where I usually go. My regular vet had a cancellation earlier so I chose to get him seen there to minimise his discomfort. But I had to share what an amazing, thorough, caring clinic this is. Once this nail issue settles down, we will definitely be popping in for that behavioural consultation. I'm just incredibly impressed. Thank you!!
If I could give 10 stars I would. This veterinary hospital is amazing. The customer service is outstanding and my god the girls are so loving and caring and extremely professional. Keep up the great work. Steven you are an amazing Vet, I have been to so many vets with my 4 fur babies and non of them will ever come close to your knowledge, professionalism and outstanding care for animals and humans. I don’t know how anyone can be as amazing as you are but you are truely one of the kind. I want to thank you for everything you have done for Billy and Coco and Bow and Molly and for me to make them healthy again. Keep up the wonderful work it’s really appreciated and needed. I highly recommend Steven and the girls for everyone’s veterinary needs. Thank you
We have been clients of Kingston Vets for 15 years trusting them with all of our Boxer’s needs from puppy through to old age. We have continued to seek their services even when moving further away due to the level of compassion, care and professionalism they have always shown. From allergic reactions, tummy troubles, accidents, injuries, surgeries and Cancer they helped us through it all. At 14 years of age we had to say goodbye to our old boy Biff and the team helped us through that hard decision and experience also. A little while on now we have a new addition to our family - Brewster another Boxer who has already met the team for his vaccinations, puppy training and a couple of little issues..... We cannot recommend this team highly enough.
I am a new cat owner after taking in a 7yo cat that was given up by previous owners. After researching local vets for someone who specialises in felines I came across Dr Maree King. My little bundle of fluff was a little neglected n needed the once over. Maree has a lovely calm feel about her, explained everything I needed to know and answered every question I wrote down. When he got stressed she picked him up to calm him down, was gentle with him and thorough. She explained everything about what she was giving him and why. I'm so happy I found this clinic and Maree has helped me feel assured about my home care for this new addition to the family. Thank you
Kingston vet clinic brings together a highly motivated team of devoted and caring veterinary professionals. Steve, Ros, Marie and the entire team have taken care of our french bulldog, Millie for 11 years, through many ups and downs in her health and wellbeing, and have always provided the best clinical advice and guidance and acted in Millie's best interests at all times. It is a very busy clinic, but nothing is ever too much trouble and they always do and spend whatever time it takes to provide the highest standard of care and support. If you are looking for a partner in your best friend's health, you will not find better in bayside.
Staff were kind and friendly Price absolutely disgusting was in a emergency situation made me pre pay $999 To keep overnight unsupervised on glucose drip. When I spoke with them the next day was Advised it would cost that per 24hr period When contated my usual vet and one other was informed I was charged way to much double what they charged. Of course they stated its not safe to take to vet an I understand that services cost but taking advantage of people who are in a bad place is a bloody crime. This is why I left this vet years ago. I only used kvh as my vet was busy SCABS
The staff here are very friendly and caring. They are open on weekend and public holidays with no exorbitant charges. I first came here when my dog was sick on a public holiday so our vet was closed and was avoiding having to go to the animal hospital for $$$$. The staff were lovely and we kept coming back ever since. Unfortunately we had to put our dog down a few weeks ago and the staff were very respectful through this tough time. This is definitely our new family vet for when we got our next pet.
Never had anything but positive experiences with the team at Kingston Vet. The staff are all lovely and friendly, from the initial booking call, through to the moment you walk out. They genuinely seem to love what they do, and the vet's are all passionate animal lovers who treat your pet like their own. Plenty of parking as next door to thrift park and excellent open hours. Can't speak highly enough of this team. Make them your go to vet if you're in the area.
Amazing vet! Our beautiful boy Thor became ill just before Christmas and with our usual vet closed over Christmas we came to Kingston vets just wanting someone to help him until our local vet opened. The service and care was so remarkable we have ditched our usual vet and are staying with Kingston vet! Siobhan and Meika have gone above and Beyond to help our beautiful boy and we are so so thankful. I Couldn’t recommend a better vet!
Excellent care for my dog the team at Kingston Veterinary hospital as it is critical for longevity of my dog and peace of mind for me too. l have always found the best medical care here and they are always are very happy to see my dog and other too, they show personal warmth and interest too., The skills service on offer l feel my dog is in safe care here. And lucky to receive a pat or two. l would recommend to visit with your pet.
What a great experience we had today at Kingston Veterinary Hospital! Can not be more thankful to our vet we seen today. My cat Bazil hates travelling and doctors, he gets stressed out and aggressive but today the vet made his visit so easy and relaxing our Bazil even started singing in his mid visit. He recived a full check up and a shot and we all had a great experience and will be coming back. Highly recommend! Thank you :)
I took my cat for her first vet experience. I was anxious and upset (I think worse than the cat). It was a much better experience than I ever anticipated. The Dr had some sort of magic spell over my cat and she stayed calm and placid the whole time. The girls at the front desk were very kind and understanding of my anxiety. Thank you all for a great first visit and being so accommodating to me and my girl. We will be back!
The doctors and nurses at this clinic are very friendly and professional. They are very knowledgeable, have a great bedside manner, and genuinely care about the animals they treat. I have a dog and two cats, and they are not at all frightened of this clinic. In fact, my dog gets super excited when she enters this veterinary clinic because all the staff are so friendly and my dog loves the attention!
All I can say is thank you. Yesterday we visited for the very first time as our usual vet was away on holiday. Our elderly German Shepherd had become very unwell and it was time to say goodbye. The staff were so beautiful and caring with my family. They also messaged us later in the day to say they had made paw prints and collected fur for my daughters to keep as well notifying our usual vet.
Very personable staff. Parking is Limited to 4 cars in on site but they do have a brilliant Dog wash on the front veranda that's well setup. Vet was attentive and super careful. My kitten was very happy with the place. Would not stop complimenting all the way.. she is contented by the cooling breeze of the evaporative out the window today. Tigger wakesw me up every morning with a snuggle.
My very old fella passed away last Friday at Kingston vet. Didge marched in there so happily because he loved all the attention he always received there. His last visit was so lovely and peaceful for him and my son and I were so well supported. Thank you to all the amazing staff, I left there in tears but calm, knowing that he had the most peaceful passing. I really appreciate it!
Amazing, amazing vets. I honestly can't praise them enough. They way they cared for my Mooks when she was sick was incrediblely. They went out of their way to make sure she felt safe and comfortable and when she passed, they made sure to look after me and my partner as well through our grieving processing. Their prices are always fair and their staff thoughtful and caring.
I called a few places in search of an earlier appointment for my puppy. This was the only place that seemed genuinely excited to meet my dog, and they managed to squeeze me in the next day. All staff were incredibly lovely, and I think my dog could feel that he was in a place where people actually loved and wanted the best for him :)
They have a reminder service for vaccinations etc. Always professional, both the vets and staff, and always make you and your pet feel welcome. There is a small car park at the rear but it would be easier using the Thrift Park Shopping Centre car park right next door - much easier to exit on to the busy Lower Dandenong Road.
Very disappointing that when my puppy was having seizures and not know what to do and where to go as everything closed on a Sunday I calledKVH at 1:45 only to be told they close at 2pm and nothing they could do to help. She had another later that day and then one Monday morning. Thanks for your help !
Our dog Hugo got a fish hook stuck in his mouth this morning. Rang the Kingston Vet and they said to bring him down straight away. Even though they were so busy they attended to him as soon as I got there and had him back to us in a few hours. Everyone at this clinic is so good to deal with.
This amazing team deserve an award. Unfortunately for our Teddy the outcome wasn't good however we new he was in wonderful hands During his last days. The team were so caring and empathic to our needs. Thank you so much for your your amazing effort and support during a very difficult time.
The workers here are approachable, friendly, and patient. When my dog passed they were sympathetic and considerate, I was provided with helpful information and responsive attitudes. I appreciate that, especially at such a sensitive time. Thank you guys. I would recommend using this vet
Been going there for about 20 years amazing doctors, nurses, just had to put my 15 year and 4 months German shepherd (Sebastián) down ,they were amazing , highly recommended, They aren't the cheapest but exceptional service always costs a little more and I wouldn't go anywhere else
First time we used Kingston Vet as our Vet in Dingley closed. I was very impressed and happy with their service. They were so compassionate and gentle with our dog. The vets were also very personable which unfortunately you do not get at the bigger clinics. Highly recommend.
My dog Oskar had a surgery today there and Dra. Anthea Papadopoulos was extremely attentive. I love when doctors explain the things and also listen to the dogs owner. I would recommend her hardly! Also the nurses were super lovely and I felt comfortable leaving my dog there.
Absolutely exceptional service by all at Kingston Veterinary Hospital, I have dealt with many Vets over the years but Kingston are by far the best, every person is lovely and caring and great to deal with, especially at the most difficult times, I recommend them 100%
Staff here are amazing. Our little puppy has been quite mischevious and when needed they have helped us in many situations, and always with a positive outcome. They are always caring and happy to help and offer much appreciated advice. Can't recommend highly enough
I have 12 pets who are my adored children. The staff at Kingston have been through all the highs and lows with me and provide the kindest, most compassionate care to my menangerie. They truly understand that special bond between humans and the animals who own them.
Had a cortisone cream prescribed for my dog and was charged $47 for it wherein a quick google found it retailing for $9 online. I am all for supporting the local businesses but when you charge 5 times the amount, you are not ding the right thing by your customer
We took our newly adopted dog Mishca to this vet and the staff from the very first minute, were fantastic. We are new to owning a dog and they were extremely helpful and understanding. Highly recommend this Vet and services. Thanks and see you soon :)
I hadn't had my cat to Kingston Vet for about 3 years, and when I made the app I told them I'd been there with him before. They found his record, and he had the same lovely lady vet he'd seen before, and we were very happy, with Medusha.
They are so lovely to me and O'Malley my elderly cat. Their kindness and expert work has been so appreciated by both of us. I couldn't recommend more highly all the staff for their work and kindness. Thanks to all. Jen and O'Malley
I have been taking my cat here for 7 years and puppy since we got him last year. The receptionists and vets are always super helpful and exain everything clearly. They take great care with my pets. Also recommend puppy pre-school.
Fantastic vets and friendly nurses. I feel very comfortable taking my dogs to Kingston Vet as I know they will be thoroughly examined and everything will be explained to me clearly. My dogs are always excited to go to the vet!
FIRST CLASS A+++ Best professional veterinary practice our family has experienced ever. We've been clients now for approx. 10yrs and our 4 dogs have each been lovingly treated for both routine and surgical treatments.
Had cause to use the out of hours emergency service this Public Holiday weekend. The staff on duty were great, big thank you to Jade very helpful plus kind and I don't think my kitten could have been in better hands.
Tina, Roz and the staff here are second to none. They know our dog so well from the years we have been coming here. We live out of the area and continue to use them. Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
First time visitor and will be a longtime customer. Such a caring team here. I had no hesitation leaving my dog in their care. When I went to pick her up Hannah had all my questions answered before i needed to ask
Have taken all of my pets I’ve had throughout the years to Kingston vets. I ended up moving 30 mins away from there but still choose to go there as they look after my fur babies so well. Wouldn’t go anywhere else
I am new to this vet (old vet retired) and i love it. Huge open hours, easily accessible, take the time to explain awful stuff with old dog scenario. They care. They are helpful. And they are reasonably priced.
Was our first visit and a last minute appointment for my dog who had a serious issue. Wonderful experience for both myself and my dog. I would highly recommend this vet to anyone and will be returning.
Super lovely Veterinarians and Veterinary nurses. Expertise and advice given that I am very grateful for. Thank you, and I highly recommend this practice to other dog owners. A big cut above others.
"It's just cat flu." Costed my aunt $300 for some anti bionics. Thanks very much, the flu turned out to be cancer and took his life. Never bring your pets here. Might cost them its life.
We have had dogs for many years and this vet is the most caring vet we have ever been too. Thank you for friendly service and dedication everyone from reception staff to nurses and drs.
Thy look after my 13 year old boy. He was at the vet for his annual check_up and meds. Th are a very caring company, a little priced, but do take great care of animals.
highly professional Vet service from Steve Inglis and the team. cannot fault the care they give to their patients and their owners. honest and genuine quality service.
This clinic is outstanding. They have high standards of customer satisfaction, safety and clinical care, and this is reflected in every interaction I have with them.
My cat loves the care and love from the vet. I love the presentation of the place. Always clean and tidy. Receptionists always smilling! I felt wellcome in there.
There is noone I would trust with our dog baby more than Kingston Vet Hospital. The staff are like family and they genuinely care and do an excellent job.
Wonderful friendly accomating staff. Have been with these guys since moving to the area. They were amazing when I had to say RIP to my 15yr old mate.
Really friendly vets, my favourite in the area. And prices are decent (I've only had boosters and Ear Drops and some stuff after my dog ate parasol)

Couldn't be more impressed with the care for our pets and family. Dr Mika is so knowledgeable and caring and our dogs love her
Absolutely lovely staff. Very good at their jobs. Looked after our cat with complete care. Expensive but what vet isn't …
Everyone is always so lovely and treat my pup like he’s their own. Very confident and comfortable with taking my dog here.
