Balmain Veterinary Hospital

Injected my dog two weeks ago with lepto vaccine and booked him in for a booster which is time-sensitive. They've called to say there's a vaccine shortage -- which is true -- but if you inject a dog, reserve a booster. Not rocket science. The time before that, they tried to sell me a $2000 procedure to clean tartar from his teeth. The $30 toothbrush and paste set from the pet store is doing the job nicely. Nice try, though!

My review about the tail is true. That situation occurred and I am glad we didn't go through with such a false and horrible thing. Maybe staff has changed now but whoever the person was that said this, should not work at a vet or as a doctor. It doesn't disregard the situation. Vets everywhere SHOULD be COMPETENT. The standard is not good. The animals can't speak to us in English. They need real quality care. This stuff should NEVER happen.

They've been caring for my Shanti cat for over 12 years now. We love the vets here. Ok so the price with any vet is hard for us to digest as there is no rebates unless u have insurance. But the quality of service is amazing. Thanks guys !

My cat sooty had a long stay of six weeks. I will never leave her anywhere else but Balmain veterinary hospital. They looked after her so we’ll that I don’t think sooty really wanted to come home. Everything about this place is purrrfect from the reception staff to the cattery staff and of course the wonderful vets dr Katherine especially. Thank you to you all. Whenever I have little emergencies with sooty I am taken almost immediately and I come away feeling much better

We went a while ago and they wanted to cut our cats tail off due to a minor injury. Weeks later, our Cats tail was completely fine. Cats need their tails. Pet owners BEWARE. And company, for future, know what you are doing. Do not assume and put forth the worst case scenario and lie to people and provide inhumane and unethical practices to Animals. Very unhelpful and disappointing.

Great service, Reception team are so lovely and helpful, best Vet we’ve been to!

I am new to the area. My dog needed her teeth cleaned, so I went to the nearest vet to my home. I made an appointment and took her in by the designated time. Was greeted by 2 nurses. Was given a quote of ‘up to $800’ and that would be only if extractions had been necessary. I received a call around 11 a was told that the procedure had been done & that no extractions had been necessary. I went to pick her up at 3. Was presented with a $806.75 I argued that no extractions had been involved. Was told that it included blood work and that they use ‘very expensive’ anesthesia . I reluctantly paid. But did ring my previous vet and enquired what I had previously paid for the same procedure. I was told that it had been $526 but that had included her annual vaccination. I did ask if there might have been a reason the bill might have been higher. She did state that they had done a dental clean on a 25 kilo Lab the day before & that bill had been $700 my dog weighs less than 10kilos I asked if there was a more extensive anesthesia that might have been used. Her answer? A giggle. Never will I use this ‘very expensive’ Vet clinic again.

After years of hearing my doggie clients sing the praises of Balmain Veterinary practice, I decided to move my dog Frankie over to their care. Jason became Frank's new vet and I was very happy and impressed with his skills and care. He was more than willing to communicate openly and discuss options re the best care for my old boy. I was devastated when Covid came to town and I was forced to move to a regional area and if it wasn't for all the lockdowns and travel restrictions I would continue to bring my dog to Sydney so Jason could continue with his care. I cannot recommend this Veterinary practice highly enough.

Balmain Vets is absolutely the best practice, we have experienced in Australia. They have looked after our beautiful geriatric Border Collie, Bella for a number of years. At all times listening to our concerns and providing, considered advice and care plan choices. We are very grateful for the service they have provided. Highly recommended.
