Everything in this list happens in this building, with the same team who see your pet in the consult room.

General & preventive care Vaccination & puppy care In-hours emergency consults X-ray and ultrasound Orthopaedic surgery Dentistry Desexing Puppy preschool Rabbits and guinea pigs
What having a hospital on site means for your pet

Imaging, dentistry and surgery all happen here, with the team who already know your pet. If a consult turns into something bigger, the next step is down the corridor, and the same notes and the same vets follow your pet through it.

Every plan is built around the pet in front of us after a proper examination, and we talk you through what each step is for before anything goes ahead. Most pets never need more than a check-up and their vaccinations, and that is a good day for everybody.

Where do people walk their dogs around West Ryde?

A lot of what we see in a week starts on a walk: a limp, a grass seed in a paw, an itchy ear, a scuffle at the park. A couple of well used spots around West Ryde: Memorial Park Dog Off-Leash Trial and Denistone Park.

Memorial Park Dog Off-Leash Trial is recorded as an off-lead area. Council off-lead rules and hours change, so check with your council before you let the lead go.

Grass seeds are the one worth knowing about around here. They work into a paw or an ear over a few days, so a quick look through the coat after a walk is worth the minute it takes. Same with a limp that settles overnight and comes back on the next walk. Seen early, most of these are a straightforward consult, so ring us and we will take a look.

How do I get there from West Ryde?

It is 7 km, about 10 minutes in normal traffic, via Victoria Road. On-street parking on Jarvis Circuit, or the multi-storey car park underneath Coles, accessed from Halifax Street. Because we are open seven days, you can usually find a time that fits around work and the school run.

Is the drive from West Ryde worth it?

For everyday care, plenty of West Ryde owners come to us simply because the appointment times suit. For the harder cases it is the imaging and the surgical team, here in the same building, so your pet is looked after start to finish by people who know them.

Our cat has been in the care of Macquarie Vet Hospital since she was a kitten and we trust them completely with her care. The team is always so attentive, thorough and genuinely caring. They take the time to explain everything clearly and never make us feel rushed. What I appreciate most is how truly fear-free they are with her. She’s always handled so gently and patiently, which makes such a difference for both of us. It’s clear that her wellbeing is their top priority. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and trustworthy veterinary team.
