SASH Adelaide: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Evie was really well looked after, the explanations as to what had occurred and her treatment was clearly explained. I knew she was in the best hands not only for the problem we took her there for, but for any future problem she might encounter. I would not hesitate to take her back there again if the need arises.
We love being here when you need us Cathleen, and we thank you for trusting us with Evie's care. Thank you, The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: All the staff were lovely. Odin is a very nervous dog and all of the staff were understanding of that and made him feel comfortable
We are so glad Odin was comfortable with our team, they pride themselves on treating each patient within their comfort levels. Thank you Christina, The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: This place saved our dogs life Amazing and kind staff. Dr Abbey and Dr Laura were both amazing. 99 percent of nursing staff were amazing.
Thank you for your kind words Lisa, we are so glad it was a good outcome for your family. Thank you, The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: Staff very helpful and calm, informative but kind. Facilities state of the art with multiple private rooms. Impressed with doctors and time taken to explain things. If after hours and you need assistance with your pet don't hesitate to come. I understand the fees and cost is expensive but for after hours care it is comforting to know they will do everything they can to assist.
Thank you for your kind feedback, we are so glad we could be here when you needed us. Thank you, the SASH Team
Fantastic experience: We recently had to get our Blue Heeler, Matilda’s, TPLO surgery, and as she’s a very strong-willed and aggressive dog, we were really anxious about how she’d handle it. From start to finish, the team at Sash Vets were absolutely amazing. They respected her boundaries, never judged her or us, and made sure her needs were prioritised. The vets were understanding, patient, and kept us updated while she stayed overnight, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear they genuinely cared about her comfort and wellbeing. Knowing that they would respect her boundaries made what was a stressful situation so much easier. We can’t thank them enough!
Thank you Louise, our team are so dedicated and are always willing to give a little extra when we know patients need it. Thank you, the SASH Team
Fantastic experience: Handled an emergency wound repair with care and wonderful professionalism. Aftercare instructions were comprehensive and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Thank you for your kind words Amanda, we loved caring for Armani. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: We recently had a traumatic emergency with our Border Collie. The SASH team were incredible, during the frantic phone call on the way, they were able to calm us down and provide emergency advice. Once we arrived, a staff member was already outside waiting for us to help rush our boy in. Despite their best efforts, unfortunately we couldn't bring him back. The team were incredibly supportive, treated us with respect, discussed options and gave us the privacy to say goodbye. The support during one of our darkest moments will never be forgotten.
Thank you for your lovely words Michael, we are so sorry for your loss and we are so glad we could be there to support you through this very tough time. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: SASH Adelaide have been fantastic with treatment of my Lab, Sammy boy. They're really knowledgeable, helpful and caring and go the extra mile to make sure your pup is comfortable while visiting. The regular updates from staff (special mention to Tash) while Sam is admitted for treatments are wholesome and very much loved. Thank you!
Thank you Kaine, it is our pleasure to look after your sweet boy Sammy. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: All of the staff have been absolutely amazing with our cat Jager. They are friendly, caring and give the best support. We are extremely pleased with the duty of care and support provided by all staff members

Fantastic experience: Staff were very friendly and helpful, made a stressful situation a lot less stressful. These guys do an amazing job caring for pets and their anxious owners.
We are grateful we could be there when you needed us. Thank you Cathy! The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: The doctors and nurses at SASH are all outstanding. My cocker spaniel has received the best care when she has been there. She has had allergy issues and infections and I really appreciated the attention to detail when organising her treatment. She has lapped up all the attention and treats to make her feel comfortable.
Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience with us and for recognising our team’s dedication and hard work. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: Our puppy was in a critical condition, and the care he received from the team was nothing short of incredible. The thorough testing, expert attention, and genuine compassion from everyone involved helped him recover completely. We are so grateful for their dedication and support!! Thank you so much
We are so glad we could be there for you and your puppy at such a critical time, and we appreciate your trust in our clinic and staff. Thank you, from The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: Thank you, to our lovely Vet and all the Team at SASH. It's always very concerning when one's pet becomes unwell or hurt and everyone we interacted with at SASH made our experience a very calming and caring one. It's clear that the animals that present at SASH Emergency are very important and cared for by everyone. From Reception, to the Triage Nurse, the Vet and emergency staff behind the scenes, we felt our beautiful girl was in the best hands. We experienced good communication throughout and thought the premises was modern, hygienic and overall a most professional set up. It's greatly appreciated :)
We are so honored to have supported you and your pet in a stressful moment. Thank you Micky, for taking the time to give us such great feedback. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: Lovely and friendly service, Luna was treated like a queen, which was great for her (and also me), because she was shaking when we arrived. It wouldn't have gone so smoothly if it weren't for the lovely vet and vet nurse!
Thank you Lauren our team appreciate your kind words. Give Queen Luna some extra cuddles from us! The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: Dr Rachel and the entire SASH team were absolutely incredible with Wonton. From admission through to discharge, the promptness of care, genuine compassion, clear explanations, and practical guidance were outstanding. In such a stressful situation, their professionalism and kindness made a huge difference and gave me real confidence that Wonton was in the best possible hands. I'm so grateful for the care they provided
Wonton's wellbeing is why we do what we do—thank you for the lovely review Kate. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: We so appreciate the care by staff for our dog Chloe during her recent visit and stay, which was needed. They sent us photos and communication as well which eased our stress over her being away from us, and so unwell. She has improved immensely, thank you
Thank you Judy, for taking the time to share your experience. We are so glad Chloe is doing better. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: All staff was friendly and helpful. Dr. Ryan T was great in the appointment with Sonny, my golden retriever. Ryan explained things very well and also advised if I had any follow up questions or concerns I could just email him.
So grateful for your feedback—thank you! The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: We have been before and were very happy with everything from beginning to end each time - everyone is so lovely and makes you feel very welcome. The care we get for our girls is top quality. Our girls are our world and the trust we have with everyone is comforting. It’s great to have Dr’s and nurses for our girls where we leave feeling totally comfident with the treatment, advice and care we all received, thank you all so much.
Thank you for recognising our team’s efforts, we are honoured to care for your girls. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: SASH Adelaide have been looking after our dog Paddington after a severe fall that resulted in a broken shoulder blade. On X-ray it was discovered that our dog had also either inhaled or swallowed a pin that is now in lung tissue. Whilst we are still under active care for Paddington we have been kept informed and care has been given to include us at every step. Paddington's care has been stellar and all is going well. We will face the hurdles we have to with ongoing discussions over his care moving forward, but we know we are in safe hands.
Your kind words made our team’s day. Thank you Deb, for trusting us with the beautiful Paddington. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: Every vet and nurse we spoke to over the last few days has been the kindest, most patient and professional people we have ever encountered not just at a vet but genuinely anywhere. They made the worst few days of our lives just a bit better and supported us in a way that went above and beyond. We can't ever explain how grateful we are that our little boy Eggsy got to recover with them by his side. He came home like he'd been on a spa visit, happy and healthy and purring like an engine. Thank you all so much for your kindness, we'll never be able to repay it.
Thank you Lily! We are so glad we could be there for you and Eggsy when it mattered most. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: The care and compassion we received from Dr Andrew Dunn and all the staff at SASH was exceptional. Whilst the advice received was devastating to hear, it came from a place of care for our boy first and foremost.
Thank you for your lovely words. We are grateful we could be there for you and your boy when you needed us. — The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: All the staff are so supportive and helpful the moment you walk in the door. I was kept up to date each day and felt reassured my cat was in the best hands possible.
Thank you for your kind words, Cher. We’re dedicated to giving the highest level of care to both the animals and the people who love them, and we are grateful you took the time to share your experience. The whole SASH Team.
Fantastic experience: Friendly Team from Reception to Triage to Vet. Everything explained along the way to ensure a hassle free experience. Everyone we dealt with was passionate, and seemed to really enjoy the role at SASH.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review, Wayne. It is our privilege to care for you and your pet, we truly love what we do. The whole team at SASH
Fantastic experience: I have been 100% satisfied with experience and knowledge at Sash. My Iggy, Rubie has had many misadventures and Sash have been so supportive with admissions and procedures. Highly, highly recommended, without hesitation, Deb
Thank you Debra, we appreciate your lovely feedback. We hope Rubie is feeling better and keeps herself out of mischief. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: We were very concerned about having the soft palate (BOAS) surgery on Reg our 12 month old British Bulldog. He also needed his nares widened and his tonsils removed. Dr Marina and the staff at SASH Rundle Street Kent Town were amazing! They called us every few hours with updates and sent pics of Reg. He was a star. He is home recovering and I am so grateful to everyone that helped in sending Reg home safely! Highly recommend Sash and definitely recommend Dr. Marina! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I was so fortunate to meet the extraordinary Dr Hill and the wonderful Georgia. They showed such genuine kindness and compassion. They took the time to carefully review previous treatments and handled my dog with the utmost care during her examination. Their thoroughness and empathy were truly appreciated, and I am deeply grateful for how lovely they were throughout the entire visit. And Georgia's gorgeous drawings on my dog's medication bag were such a thoughtful touch!
Fantastic experience: Dr Nicholas thoroughly explained my dog's condition and allowed us to see him out the back before he was admitted for pericardial infusion procedure and overnight stay. He was patient and kind in his explanation and we really appreciate it
Fantastic experience: Fantastic care team and staff - from the moment we called, to when we left late at night, everybody was amazing and took great care with our ill pet. Lovely and caring to help ease our anxiety too. Would absolutely recommend and return to if needed in an emergency.
Fantastic experience: The team were SO lovely and looked after our cat Squid with so much care after his fractured patellar injury. I was beside myself with worry and they were always happy to answer my questions and offer reassurance. Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: The reception staff are unparalleled in their kindness and helpfulness and explanations. E have been extremely fortunate to have had the care of Dr Penny who has been incredibly thorough and addressed all concerns.
Fantastic experience: Amazing care. We didnt have to wait long to be seen and we were treated with kindness and empathy at every step. It felt like the team truly cared and made sure to make our dog as comfortable as possible during his stay. A very scary time has turned into hope for our dogs future. Communication was excellent, we could not be more thankful to the team at SASH
Hi Emma. Thank you for your positive review. Our team always strive to deliver the highest standards. We are delighted we made your experience a positive one and so glad we were able to help in a time of need. From all of us at SASH
Fantastic experience: Brought in cat with poor condition following chronic constipation, no longer eating following enema. Vet was clear about all of the potential pathways + their associated costs. Standard of care given was high, vet/nurses available via phone when needed. Clearly explained further instructions on discharge.
Thank you for the wonderful review of SASH - Adelaide. We appreciate you taking time to leave your feedback and glad that your experience with us was positive. The SASH - Adelaide Team.
Positive experience: Thank you for looking so well After our boy Alfie who was brought to Sash with severe acute pancreatitis. He stayed 6 days in intensive care. We are very grateful that Alfie is still alive and hopefully continues to recover fully.
Hi Tina. Thank you for your review and sharing your positive feedback. We love a good news story and are happy to hear that Alfie is recovering well. From the SASH Team
Fantastic experience: It wasn't cheap given we came to the emergency dept on a public holiday, but this was more than made up for by the lovely SASH staff. From the receptionists, to the nurses to the vets, everyone was very compassionate and empathetic, which made the situation a lot easier to deal with, and it felt like our pup was really in the best hands.
Hi Matt. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback following your recent visit. We know it can be a stressful time and hearing that our team met your expectations and made the process easier for you and your family. From all of us SASH Adelaide
Fantastic experience: This was our first contact with an emergency Vet practice. SASH have kind and thoughtful reception staff who promptly assessed the situation and got us to come in. The intake process was easy & the initial Vet was empathic, unflappable and mindful of our stress & Montys. Everything was explained before we left Monty in their care; he was very sick. The regular Vet updates, nurse updates with photos and comments do mean a lot when you are worried about your pet. All the Vets took time to explain, explore options and genuinely listened to our concerns but importantly our knowledge of Monty; his quirks, habits and demeanour. We felt integral to his care. Reception staff worked efficiently but with compassion. We didn’t meet many nurses but the two we did were kind & approachable. It’s not a cheap business providing expert Vet care however we were kept informed and our choices respected. We would not hesitate to return with our old dog Monty.
Hi Colin. Thank you for your lovely review. Your kind words and overall summary of your experience with us means a lot to our team. We are pleased our team were able to care for Monty while he was so unwell and happy that he is back home with you and your family. From all of us at SASH Adelaide.
Fantastic experience: Everyone we met at SASH North Adelaide were very kind , professional and caring towards our little fox terrier ‘Georgie’. All surgery and post op treatment was explained clearly to us by the vet and vet nurses. We had confidence in their ability to repair Georgie’s leg. Georgie was well cared for during his 2 night stay in hospital. Georgie is recovering well at home. Thank you SASH for looking after Georgie.
Hi Kate. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We're happy to hear that you had a great experience with us and that Georgie is recovering well from his surgery. The SASH - Adelaide Team
Fantastic experience: Staff, nurses and doctors were all great and made the whole process very easy. They responded to any and all of our questions, even last minute phone calls and they all love animals, our dog was very well looked after and loved.
Fantastic experience: Apart from the professionalism during the consultation phase, I was very impressed by the phone call immediately after my dog's surgery ie. in post-op recovery then calls next day about his subsequent progress overnight. The nursing staff were also knowledgeable, engaged and very caring.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service all round by every level of staff. The care that was shown to our pet was amazing and put me at ease. Each step was clearly communicated, and I felt confident on the steps that were taking place regarding our pet's condition.
Fantastic experience: My Labrador, Ollie ,on late Sunday afternoon, impaled his side of his mouth with fencing wire. SASH staff and vets were fantastic . Their care for him was great and explanation to us ,what was needed to be done was explained thoroughly and with care. Thanks
Thanks for your feedback Cris. Sounds like quite an ordeal for poor Ollie, but glad our team were able to help provide veterinary care for him. Take care, SASH Adelaide
Fantastic experience: All the staff were amazing. The vet was lovely and explained everything in detail. Answered all my questions and was very welcoming.
Thanks for the wonderful review. We appreciate you taking time to leave your feedback!
The SASH - Adelaide Team
Fantastic experience: All of the team at SASH have been super helpful and caring of both Frank, our boy and my oartner and I. They have replied promptly to all enquires since we got hom with Frank also. We really appreciate them.
Thank you for your positive review. We are delighted we made your experience a positive one and appreciate you working with us.
Fantastic experience: We have needed SASH and their experts a number of times now and the entire team has been amazing. From the nurses to the care team at the desk to the Vets. We have seen both Dr Tisdall and Dr Davies. Both are incredible vets and people who are incredibly knowledgeable combined with care and understanding. Thank you to the team at SASH for looking after us so well. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: We’ve visited SASH on a few occasions for emergency care and they’ve been kind, calm and attentive to our Lily. We’ve experienced incredible care and assistance from them. We would highly recommend their services!
Fantastic experience: I recently had to take my dog to SASH in an emergency. From the moment I arrived the service I received was extremely professional, warm, caring and friendly from everyone I spoke to. I felt I was leaving my dog in very capable hands and he thankfully recovered fully. The vet, Alex, rang me with a progress report as he said he would which was greatly appreciated and if the need arises again I wouldn’t hesitate to return. Many thanks.
Hi Jane. Thank you for taking to time to provide a review. Your kind words mean a lot to our team and we are glad we were able to support you in your time of need.
Fantastic experience: Welcoming and focussed staff . Easy access and parking . Purpose built functional comfortable and attractive premises. Triage system well implemented and controlled . Mindfulness and sensitivity of staff and Veterinarian on full display . Transparent process . In our case the actual cost fell below the initial estimate which shows honest business without overt profiteering. Friendly competent team ,cautious and professional Vet kept us well informed all the way .. we are impressed thank you team !
Thank you for taking the time Greg to provide feedback and for your kind comments.
Fantastic experience: Great overall, lovely staff, informative and caring for our dog. Longer wait times than I’ve experienced the one other time we’ve attended however, as it was a Saturday night we completely understood, especially as others that came in were in a more urgent state than we were. These are very strong and resilient people to work in what can be such an emotionally draining environment, they deserve everything good in the world.
Hi Ellen, thank you for your review and for your understanding regarding the increased wait time you experienced. Veterinary emergencies can be unpredictable and may impact wait times. We are grateful for your kind words and support of our veterinary team.
Fantastic experience: We would like to take this opportunity to thank SASH for the amazing care that all their team, from reception team, vets, veterinary nurses, interns, cleaning staff, everyone showed Envy. They all went above and beyond to provide her with the highest quality care. If it was not for all their hard work, determination, loving way towards her, we highly believe she would not be here with us today. Envy was in a critical condition and barely breathing by the time we had arrived at the hospital. The staff immediately jumped into action and saved her life. She had to stay in hospital for about 5 days with numerous struggles she needed to battle with the expertise help from The SASH team. They kept us informed throughout the whole process, rang and gave detailed updates of what needed to be done and had been done, her progress and our options. The beautiful staff sent photos of Envy, reassuring us she was on the mend and receiving the best, loving care. Throughout these uncertain times every single team member was absolutely amazing. There is simply not enough words to describe how grateful we are to all the team there. The hospital is extremely clean and the set up is fabulous. This team is top notch and everyone of them truly do care about the fur babies that come into this hospital. Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts ♥️ Kind regards Jo.
Thank you for your review and kind words. We are so pleased we were able to care for Envy and to see her make a full recovery. Envy’s story would be a wonderful addition to our SASH Stories competition. You can find more information here: https://sashvets.com/sashstories/
Fantastic experience: Our dog got a grass seed in his ear not long after our usual vet closed. Initially called the Green Cross emergency vet on Magill Road who advised they were very busy so I tried SASH and decided to go there instead. I was very happy with the service and the grass seed was removed under sedation. Thanks SASH!
Fantastic experience: Called Sash before their regular opening hours due to an emergency with my dog. The receptionist was very helpful and gave me all the information I needed upfront. The clinic itself was comfortable and inviting, all staff were lovely, and I could tell they cared about the welfare of my dog. They helped make a very stressful experience less stressful.
Thank you Alexandra! We’re so glad we could be there for you and your pet when it mattered most. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: All of the staff are amazing, although Dr Michael and Dr Maude were brilliant. So caring and genuinely compassionate. Their first priority was Ollie's care. I really appreciated the frequent updates during his stay with you too.
Fantastic experience: In a frightening situation with our beloved dog we received caring professional care from our vet Megan at an amazing facility which made us feel safe and comfortable. Highly recommend SASH for emergency care given to our family.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with our team. We are so glad we could be there for you and your dog in a time of need. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: Every time we have been to SASH, everyone has worked diligently to find reasons, results for our pets giving us the best help possible. It doesn't end there they follow up to see how you and your pets are coping we would highly recommend SASH!
The team are honored to care for your pet—thank you for the wonderful feedback. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: The support at SASH was professional, supportive and excellent quality. We appreciated all that was done to help our dog Ginger be well looked after while she was critically ill and to make such a quick recovery. All phone calls and visits were facilitated without issue and the costs were explained clearly. We are so grateful that your service exists.
Your kind words made our team’s day Peita. Thank you for trusting us with Ginger's care. The SASH Team
Fantastic experience: Receptionist was SO KIND on the phone. Reception staff x3 were all lovely to deal with upon arrival and departure. Vet Nurse was knowledgable and calming, and the Vet was very helpful, even though our animal was not a cat or dog, as we required emergancy care at 9pm. Nutmeg is doing well.
Fantastic experience: Sash is absolutely outstanding and I cannot recommend them highly enough! The level of dedication and care factor of the incredibly skilled team makes every visit a pleasure. Truly exceptional!
Thank you for sharing your experience Lindsay, your kind words mean so much to the team who always strive to give their all. The SASH team
Fantastic experience: In an emergency situation due to my dog being hit by a car, I cannot fault the treatment of Monty both initially and ongoing. The staff were excellent communicators with us on his ongoing progress which came frequently and consistently. I certainly highly recommend SASH Kent Town in this circumstance. Monty is now home and on the mend.
Thank you for such lovely words Andrew, we all hope Monty is improving each day. From the SASH Team
Fantastic experience: Very professional. Explained everything well so we understood. Answered our questions.< br />Speaking with a friend who acknowledged how good SASH is.< br />Would highly recommend.
Negative experience: My experience with SASH was not up to standards of an emergency vet clinic. I walked in and was greeted by lovely receptionists and a nurse who took my unwell cat Lilly to oxygen giving me hope i was about to have a great experience. The moment the vet walked in this all changed. I explained to the vet that my cat suffers from the flu due to her tiny size, and that I wanted them to do what care they could there to get her by until the morning, where i would take her to my local vets. I was advised that Lilly needed to spend the night, to which I advised no, due to the stress it would place on her, the vet was extremely and visibly agitated with my decision and even argued with me to the point. It was not until I said that I wouldn’t even be able to afford it that she considered what I was saying. I asked for treatment until the morning, explaining that my vet would typically give her antibiotics, pain relief and fluids and that this has been done on emergency situations and then my cat would begin to recover over the day or night. I was advised she would be given pain relief and antibiotics, to which i then agreed to sign the waiver. Once signed I was given her treatment which was tablet antibiotics for a cat who would not eat and pain relief for me to give to my cat myself. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that there was no needles of antibiotics, pain relief or even fluids provided by an emergency vet clinic to give her the best fighting chance. My local vets have gone above and beyond to help aid in her recovery and I feel extremely let down by this clinic, because i didn’t want my cat to die from stress overnight and believed she would have a more fighting chance in the comfort of her home. This clinic came off as not caring the moment they knew they weren’t getting 1000s of dollars out of meds

The SASH - Adelaide Team
Fantastic experience: The reception staff were incredibly helpful and friendly when we called in a panic about our dog showing signs of a fit, seizure, or stroke. We had no idea what was happening and initially contacted another 24/7 vet hospital we’d used before, who referred us to SASH. From the moment we arrived, all staff were kind and reassuring (we were still very anxious and confused about what was happening to our dog, Archie). The vet was polite, professional, and compassionate throughout the consultation. During our visit, there was some commotion when another pet came in needing immediate attention and CPR. When the vet returned, they apologised for the delay and explained the reason, which we really appreciated. When it came time to pay and leave, the staff were again polite, friendly, and professional, thanking us for understanding the delays caused by emergencies. I was surprised to hear some other pet owners being less than polite in these circumstances and felt sorry for the staff, who were clearly doing their best to help everyone. Overall, I thought they handled everything extremely well. I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again in an emergency (though fingers crossed we don’t have to), and I have complete confidence in their care.
Fantastic experience: Luckily our situation didn't end up requiring full emergency care so it was less stressful than it could have been but everyone was so friendly, patient and kind. We felt very listened to, our cat was checked thoroughly including having an ultrasound to ensure that he was okay. The hospital itself was very calming and clean, really appreciated the cat waiting area. Pricing was also very fair for providing an out of hours service. We have already told other cat owning relatives and friends that SASH felt a really great place to take our pets as needed.
Fantastic experience: Nurses and doctors were very informative, and provided the upmost care for my cat during his stay. I’m pleased to say that my cat fully recovered from a snake bite- and after 5 days he is now walking, talking, peeing, pooing, eating, purring, jumping and happily home.
Fantastic experience: Had to take my Sheltie Lexi for gallbladder removal. They were lovely during a distressing time. I was given thorough explanation of what was going on and was updated of Lexi’s condition often. She was discharged earlier than expected with very detailed instructions for her aftercare and and she is now home resting with the reassurance that I could reach out to SASH at anytime if I have any concerns. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful facility in SA with wonderful caring staff. I hope we don’t have to visit again but will know my furries will be in good hands if we do. Thankyou to everyone who had a hand in caring for my Lexi girl ..
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and diagnosis. Communication cannot be faulted. Seemed a bit expensive but one needs to take into account the costs of running such a high class emergency hospital. In all very happy with everything about SASH Adelaide. They are an emergency hospital who respect that one then follows on with their own vet. Very straightforward and honest re having further tests eg Brain MRI and the fact that this could only tell what the problem was and due to age of dog very expensive brain surgery really shouldn't be an option but rather keep comfortable and pain free which we have achieved. Our dog went from near death to now on medication and being kept inside away from her friend a big playful German Shepherd who has been with her very nearly all their lives. It seems a miracle she has recovered so much. I believe the medication administered and her rehydration at the hospital have given her a second life. Thank you to all excellent staff and doctors at SASH.♥️
Fantastic experience: Team were all very friendly and supportive. They apologised for the wait at all points (it was a very busy night) and were clear in costs. Everything was explained well with reasons and options being provided in relation to treatments.
Fantastic experience: Our stressed Chocolate Labrador was attended to very professionally by the Triage Nurse and excellent Vet who treated her. It took the stress off us somewhat especially in an after hours emergency! This has been our 4th visit there and I am amazed at the quality of care and prompt attendance!! Mikasa is now much better and just in time to face the heatwave. Thank you SASH once again.
Fantastic experience: Impeccable care of Willow from James Mutton since Aug 2024 guiding her diabetes. Her recent emergency visit handled by Dr Sarah was met with compassion and a very well Willow upon her discharge. Amazing work to Sarah and the nurses who dearly looked after her.
Fantastic experience: In a recent incident, where my young cat companion ingested some toxic greenery which could have caused kidney damage and, in the worst case, kidney failure, I brought her here on the advice of my regular vet. Emergency staff demonstrated a high level of expertise and provided outstanding care to my much-loved companion. They gave excellent feedback and follow-up information. They were also very kind to me (I'm an old lady). I have already recommended SASH to the rest of my family and recommend them to anyone else in need of expert emergency care for a companion animal. I'm so thankful for their service.
Fantastic experience: World-class experience from the moment we brought Harley to SASH, through multiple surgeries, and finally to discharge. I cannot express enough gratitude for the critical care and genuine empathy shown by the entire team. Our hospitals in SA could learn so much from SASH.
Fantastic experience: Thank you to all of the kind and caring staff who looked after my sweet boy, Ace, during his final hours (particularly Hailey). And thank you for the empathy shown to us during our grief of losing him. It brings some solace knowing he passed not through lack of love, care, attention or treatment. He was in the best possible hands right up until the end.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to the wonderful team at SASH and special shout out to Amanada, always so friendly and helpful, fantastic they are open on a Sunday for check-ups after surgery to ease our mind. Such love for our furbaby.
Fantastic experience: Speaking with Dr.Taggart gave us confidence and peace of mind with current and planned medical management and procedures for our fur baby. Highly professional and relatable, Dr. Taggart was fantastic with his approach and consideration for and of our needs. Brilliant!
Fantastic experience: Prompt, professional and caring service received after my dog needed emergency assistance out of hours on New Year’s Eve and my usual vet was closed. Very grateful for the communication provided and information to give our regular vet.
Fantastic experience: I am very grateful to SASH for the prompt care for Leo on Christmas Eve. The staff dealt with him very effectively: he had eaten three quarters of a hollow rubber ball, and has since been fine and frisky. No more hollow balls, and toys now censured. It is so good that SASH is open at such times. I recommend them highly.< br />Jan Owen
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the quality of service and nice, caring, professionalism of the staff. I was living hospital happy to see in this circumstances everything was done well to benefit animal. Thanks SASH.< br />
Fantastic experience: The staff were lovely. Unfortunately the issue with my dog was not resolved but due to the high costs related to the required work I chose to return to my regular clinic (who were shut the day I went to SASH) for those works (xray and/or CT scan).
Fantastic experience: We can not thank Abbey enough for the support she offered us as she guided us in the decisions of what to do for our dogs. When the decision was to also put down our attacking dog, her kindness and understanding was exactly what we needed in that moment. One of the saddest weekends, but grateful for how we were seen and cared for!
Fantastic experience: We can't be grateful enough for the entire SASH team, the care and love you have provided to Bingo was exceptional. It's not even a 10/10 it's lot more! Your support meant a lot, your detailed explanation and continuous updates helped us so much. Special thanks to Dr Penny who did the surgery. THANK YOU VERY MUCH EVERYTHING.< br />
Fantastic experience: So much compassion shown by admin, nursing and vet staff. After a stressful situation where our mischevious girls got to some chocolate, we received prompt and knowledgeable care with a happy outcome! Can’t thank the staff at SASH enough.
Fantastic experience: The team at SASH did an incredible job taking care of and performing emergency surgery on my cat Marvolo. Their friendliness and communication via updates, texts and during consults was excellent. Providing me with snacks and a drink during waiting times was also a nice touch! Despite seeing multiple vets and nurses during different shifts, everyone was consistent with the level of care and attention given to Marvolo.
Fantastic experience: Staff are amazing. Kind, caring, efficient, professional. Facilities are excellent - clean and welcoming and thoughtful touches everywhere to make your experience as comfortable as possible eg tissues, coffee machine, water bowls for the dogs.
Fantastic experience: Great consultations informative thorough compassionate Lovely staff & clean bright environment. Our dogs procedure went smoothly and we were kept well informed during his stay. Post op info and medication well presented & instructions clear and easy to follow. Adequate parking...just dont leave to the last minute to park on premises just incase. Street parking available if necessary. A fantastic experience during a stressful time for our dog & family. Thanks SASH for looking after Aidan
Negative experience: The clinic and staff seemed wonderful however, I was referred for emergency specialist care and there was none available until Monday. It was devastating to spend 5.5 hours waiting for advice from a specialist and I only got to see a regular (kind and gentle) vet and hear the same news. Unfortunately, I consider the time and money spent a waste.
Fantastic experience: I have been very impressed with the vets I have seen at Sash and how they have help my dog out on a variety of issues from tumors to skin allergies . Thank you so very much esp Dr Andrew, Dr Penny, Dr Peter , Dr David, Dr Micheal, Dr Gary and everyone who has taken such wonderful care of Pickles the pug. And a thanks to Briana at reception for being so lovely to me in my most stressful moments!
Fantastic experience: Our experience with Sash has been nothing but great, all staff were kind considerate, and understanding especially in times when we were worried, stressed and very sad. To all the staff at Sash we say thank you and appreciate all the efforts you make.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service! Kept up to date and informed (even sent photos) whilst we were interstate and our gorgeous dog was admitted. Incredible care and instructions and we knew she was in great hands.
Fantastic experience: Compassionate and professional. The wait was short and Dr Ryan was very compassionate and very thorough. His explanations were easy to understand (even during a traumatic time). Nursing staff were incredible, allowing our boy to stay with us for as long as possible and recover with us in the consult room to ease with the anxiety felt by all. The staff genuinely care for your pet and love what they do. We are now confident that he is in the very best hands for his life saving surgery tomorrow
Fantastic experience: Meagan was spectacular. She outlined the treatment plan clearly, and her bedside manner with respect to both me and my pet was exceptional. It is worth noting that another emergency vet I contacted said they were unable to help as my pet was neither a cat or dog. I am unbelievably grateful to Meagan for researching outside of her area of expertise in order to give my bird early access to the treatment which will hopefully save his life.
Fantastic experience: Everyone was very friendly. The vet nurse, Laine, was great. She was calm with our distressed dog, friendly, told us everything she was doing and why. She came back to check on Rocket and kept us updated about when Rocket would be seen by the vet. The vet, Matthew, was also good. He explained everything and gave us all the options with likely outcomes. He was gentle with Rocket and reassuring to us.
Fantastic experience: Desiree and the team were absolutely excellent. Provided great advice over the phone to triage my dog Sweep, and gave him painkillers and checked on us while we were waiting to be seen. The vet Megan was also brilliant and managed to flush the grass seeds out his foot. Thank you so much to everyone for the amazing care. Kind Regards, Elise
Fantastic experience: Our experience with SASH has been great. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The vet and vet nurses were also friendly, knowledgeable and informative and we felt very reassured that our fur baby was in good hands for his surgery. Initially we weren’t sure how our boy would go because he suffers from anxiety (especially when at the vet), but once having the initial consultation, we were confident he would be okay. We also appreciated getting a few photo updates whilst he was in the hospital. All in all, SASH provided an excellent service. Thank you
Fantastic experience: We took our Chihuahua to SASH as our miniature pony kicked her in the eye area. We were seen very quickly from very nice, thorough, friendly vets and staff. The price of as less than expected. Great service for our loved fur babies.
Fantastic experience: We attended sash twice on the same day, and saw the same vet doctor each time. She listened carefully and gave our Polly the best treatment each time. We were very happy with the care received. We really appreciated that the vet didn't charge a second consult fee when we came back the second time, but just provided continued care and additional medication for our Polly. Sincere thanks. Hopefully we won't need to come back anytime soon, but if there is a need, we'll definitely come back to sash again for caring timely support. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: My Mini Schnauzer Mr Green became unwell after he had eaten his evening meal,I became very concerned and contacted SASH after describing his symptons I was advised to take him into SASH in Adelaide. After the vet saw Mr Green it was agreed we should do some blood tests and an ultrasound. These tests took approx an hour we arrived home at midnight all well with some medication.. Next day he rested and was fine, he did not eat all day as apparently there was a lot of food in his tummy the evening before. The following evening he seemed ok all day. I fed him his evening meal and straight away he had the same symptons as before.. Mr Green went back to SASH and stayed overnight for observation.He stayed for 24hrs and came home very cheery and happy.. SASH provided us with the option to have after hrs care...I do not have a current vet due to moving house I was very grateful for the service provided. I wish I had known about SASH yrs ago when my other Schnauzer was ill with stomach cancer. Most certainly I would have asked for a referral to SASH for scans etc and would have found out a lot quicker what was wrong with her and possibly could have saved her life. The services provided are varied its basically similiar to human hospital services... All the staff were friendly and professional and kept me up to date on everything.. The front reception ladies were very thorough and professional especially in relation to the account ...I appreciated the fact that all the costs are discussed up front with an open and honest manner.. I recommend SASH to all pet owners it is an amazing place. Thank you to everyone who cared for my boi he seems to had recovered fully.
Fantastic experience: Dr David was amazing, thorough and understanding with my boy Blue. I was very impressed at the level of service and appreciate all that is being done for him :)
Fantastic experience: From when we walked thru the doors at SASH their care for our family dog and us was awesome. We had a very sick dog and their care and demeanour was fabulous. You could see that they were just as concerned with our dog as we were. When we brought her home, they explained everything that we needed to do. Would so recommend anyone taking their sick dog or cat there.
Fantastic experience: The vets and nursing staff could not have been kinder or taken better care of my dog Riley. Riley was seriously ill, and spent four days in the ICU. The vets I spoke to were knowledgeable, kind, and always made sure I had all the relevant information needed to make any necessary decisions. While he was in the hospital the staff sent me photos of his progress which provided a lot of comfort during such a stressful time. I honestly thought I was going to lose my boy but thanks to all of their care and hard work he is now finishing his recovery at home. I would absolutely recommend SASH to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional, caring and very knowledgeable service from all staff from receptionists to nurses and vets. Very happy with SASH.
Fantastic experience: The after care with Jhett has been amazing. There were some complications and SASH were on top of everything, doing everything they could to support me and help Jhett. A big call out to Lachlan who showed such a compassionate manner towards the support and helping me access the correct medication to help alleviate Jhett's symptoms.
