Fantastic experience: thank you to the beautiful team at Blakehurst for looking after my best friend Billy during a very scary time for us. Billy was incredibly unwell requiring an urgent referral to VSOS. Not only were the team at Blakehurst incredibly professional, empathetic and supportive during this period but Billy was greeted by several team members in the waiting room at his recent checkup up giving him some extra love and compliments now that he is back on track Blakehurst Vet is a beautiful, safe and warm environment with an incredible team led by Dr Hamish. I would not take Billy anywhere else and could not recommend the team or practice any higher

Fantastic experience: My family have been bringing our pets here for over a decade, and we have received nothing but extraordinary care, compassion and excellent experiences with Blakehurst Vet. We tragically had to put down our family cat Shadow (over 18 years old and had gone to this vet her whole life!) and received just such an unbelievably kind and compassionate amount of care from Dr Catherine and her team. We were obviously heartbroken but the bedside manner and support we received through this very difficult and painful decision helped us cope with our grief and choose what was right for our pet. Thank you to everyone in the team at Blakehurst for your wonderful care and support.

Blakehurst Vet
Blakehurst Vet

Thank you very much for taking the time to share this, and for trusting us with your pets for so many years.

We are so sorry for the loss of Shadow. Saying goodbye to a pet who has been part of your family for such a long time is incredibly hard, and we were glad to be able to support you through that difficult decision. Dr Catherine and the whole team will be very touched by your words.

Knowing that our care and compassion helped you feel supported during such a heartbreaking time means a great deal to everyone here. Shadow was clearly very loved, and it was a privilege to care for her throughout her life.

Thank you again for your trust, your kindness and for sharing your experience.

Fantastic experience: The vets at Blakehurst Vet are always wonderful! So much care is taken and my most recent visit was wonderful! My Bunny Lala had never been so calm at the vet before and they also helped me clip her nails after mentioning I struggle at home to do it! Been going to them since we moved to the area and have been so happy.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this and for being so nice to everyone at Blakehurst Vet. It really means a lot to us.

We are really happy to hear that Bunny Lala felt calm during her visit. That is always our goal, especially for pets who can find vet visits a bit stressful. We are also glad we could help with her nails and take a bit of pressure off you at home.

Thank you for sticking with us since moving to the area and for trusting us with gorgeous Bunny Lala. We love looking after her and appreciate your kind words more than you know.

Jhon Mac Alanzalon Posted on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I went for a holiday for two weeks and entrusted my beautiful cat at Blakehurst Vet. I appreciate all the updates and photos. Also, they always monitor if my cat is eating, peeing, pooing etc. It's my first time to leave my cat, and it's scary for me to leave her to someone whom she doesn't know or met, but the staff made it seamless. My cat was spoiled with love and care while I was away. Thank you for ensuring that my cat's wellbeing is a priority. Special thanks to Corey who is very hands-on and the whole staff.

Hi Jhon, thank you so much for this lovely review. We know how nerve-racking it can feel to leave your cat for the first time and we are so pleased that you felt reassured throughout her stay. Corey and the team absolutely adored looking after her and made sure every little detail was monitored so she stayed happy, healthy and comfortable. And you're right, Corey is an absolute rock star hotel manager. We are so lucky to have him. Thank you for trusting us with your beautiful girl and for being such a kind client. Your words mean a lot to all of us.

Richard Scutt (Richard) Posted on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Hamish Bathgate and his team at Blakehurst Vet have been taking excellent care of our cat, Felix since 2008. Testament to the extremely high standard of veterinarian care received, Felix is 18 years of age and Dr Hamish has advised us recently that Felix is his third oldest feline client. Dr Hamish can’t talk to the animals like Dr Dolittle but comes very close with his knowledge and expertise on cats when treating Felix. Our cat enjoys seeing Dr Hamish. When Blakehurst Vet has been closed Felix doesn’t like seeing vets at other practices and reacts by hissing, fluffing up and carrying on going berserk. He was even barred from a vet at Peakhurst for attacking staff members. Felix was one of the first client’s at the palatial animal accomodation centre, The Hotel For Cats which we highly recommend. We believe taking our pet to Blakehurst Vet over many years has greatly attributed to our cat, Felix health, well being and longetivity. Great work Dr Hamish and your team at Blakehurst Vet. You guys do a superb and thorough job giving excellent care and looking after our cat.

Blakehurst Vet
Blakehurst Vet

Richard, we are speechless. This might be the best review we have ever received and we thank you for taking the time to write it. You have officially claimed the title of favourite client and Felix has been promoted to feline royalty. His long life is a credit to the love and care he gets at home.

Felix is the most gorgeous little tabby and we feel lucky that he trusts us with his care. The fact that he chooses to be on his best behaviour for Dr Hamish and saves the theatrics for other clinics only makes us love him more.

We also want to thank you for always being so kind to our staff. Your warmth makes every visit a pleasure and it means a great deal to the whole team.

Thank you, Richard.

Fantastic experience: We’re so grateful for the amazing team at Blakehurst Vet. Our toy poodle, Travis, always receives such gentle and caring treatment here. We mostly see Vet Catherine, who is incredibly kind and thorough, she always takes the time to explain everything and makes sure Travis is comfortable. Anytime I’ve had a concern, they’ve managed to fit us in so promptly, which I really appreciate. The reception staff are also so lovely and welcoming every time we visit.

P P Posted on Google 10 months ago

Positive experience: I appreciate that the vet was able to correctly identify and verify the issue, and the problem we came in for has been resolved. The follow-up care was also adequate and appreciated. However, I was disappointed that when I asked the vet to clearly list out the current symptoms and any ongoing issues my dog is experiencing, the request was overlooked. As a pet owner, having a clear understanding of my dog's condition is important for both peace of mind and proper care at home. It would also be helpful if a brief report could be provided after the consultation for reference.

Andrea H Posted on Google 11 months ago

Negative experience: Traumatic experience for Potato – a two year old Golden Retriever, who had acute diarrhea and severe vomiting: Potato has been with Blakehurst Vet since he was born and received his first vaccination there. On Monday morning, Potato had acute diarrhea (bloody diarrhea) and was vomiting non-stop. We rushed him to Blakehurst Vet around 12 PM on Monday. After a brief examination, we were told he needed to be hospitalised overnight. We were assured by Catherine that Blakehurst Vet could treat him overnight and that there was no need to transfer him to a veterinary hospital. Throughout the day, we received only two phone calls from the clinic, both solely about cutting Potato’s fur. They emphasised that a large amount of hair would need to be removed because it was covered in blood and vomit, and told us, "He might look a bit ugly when you take him home tomorrow." We trusted that cutting his hair was absolutely necessary and important for his treatment, so we agreed. It turned out to be the most regretful decision we’ve ever made. Potato’s beautiful fur was cut and shaved roughly—on his legs, chest, and neck. It was clear to us that it had been done carelessly. While we understand that some hair near his rear might need to be removed to avoid skin irritation from repeated cleaning, shaving everywhere should not the first option that should be considered. Meanwhile, we received no updates on Potato’s condition, no information on whether he was improving or getting worse. It wasn’t until I finished work around 6 PM on Monday that I called the clinic myself to check in. Only then did they inform me that no one would be in the clinic after 7 PM. If we decided to leave Potato there, he would be unattended overnight. He would still be on fluids, but he was not improving and still had a lot of bloody diarrhea. We were told the estimated cost to transfer him to a 24-hour hospital would be around $1500 for the night. At 6:10 PM, I finally got his information. The nurse also told me I had less than 10 minutes to make a decision—if I didn’t call back before 6:20 PM, they would assume we had chosen to leave Potato there alone for the night. With no hesitation, we decided to transfer him to the hospital. All our family members rushed to the clinic, worried they would lock Potato in by himself. We managed to take him to the veterinary hospital, but then received a call from the clinic saying our other car was locked inside their yard because the gate was closed. We had no choice but to return the next morning to pick it up. Again, there was no communication beforehand while we were there. Before I called at 6 PM, no one from the clinic had informed us that they wouldn’t be providing overnight care. We were led to believe—based on what Catherine said—that they were capable of hospitalising and treating Potato overnight. In the end, we transferred Potato to the veterinary hospital, paid two consultation fees, and paid for initial treatment twice. We spent over $900 at Blakehurst Vet on top of thousands of dollars at the veterinary hospital for two days of care. I discussed it with Hamish the second day, and the attitude I got was “maybe we could handle that better next time”. -- That wouldn't erase how terrible this experience was for Potato and our family both financially and emotionally.

Our story is quite different from yours, but we wish you and Potato all the best with your new vet.

Fantastic experience: Today was my first time at your clinic. Incredibly tranquil. Calming when you are bringing in your sick animal. The staff (all 3) that i had the pleasure of meeting were friendly, welcoming, extremely knowledgeable, extremely caring and professional. This will be our new Vet moving forward. Outstanding service! I will be letting everyone knows about our experience at Blakehurst Vet. Thank you all Team. There isn't one thing. You did everything so well from the phone call to make the appointment, to coming into your clinic, extremely caring Dr Lee, paying the bill which was NOT ridiculously expensive. But if i have to pick one thing it would how your staff genuinely care for animals. Thank you :)

Negative experience: Was told would no accept an injured stray kitten as it's their policy. Great care for animals. Had reported it to the council and was told to take it to the closest vet as it needs medical attention.the RSPCA was disgusted in your behaviour.

Blakehurst Vet
Blakehurst Vet

We understand your frustration and want to assure you that our clinic is deeply committed to animal welfare and this situation is distressing to us as well. We are bound by the NSW Companion Animals Act and cats are legally allowed to roam. In our state, vets are not permitted to accept stray cats and the Council will not collect them from vet clinics. Stray cats should be reported to Georges River Council or an approved animal welfare organisation.

Kate Pineda Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at Blakehurst Vet. The clinic was highly organized, and I was attended to right away, which made the visit stress-free from the start. The booking system was seamless, which was a great relief. Both the nurse and Dr. Hamish were friendly, professional, and really put me at ease. For the first time, my dog received her shot without even noticing it—she stayed completely calm throughout the whole process! The service was efficient, and I appreciated how quickly everything was taken care of. Plus, there's plenty of parking available. Highly recommend!

Chelsea L Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend this practice enough! I would give it more than five stars if i could. The staff are extremely welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable and you can tell they absolutely love what they do and are true animal lovers. I brought my cat here and they completely put my worries at ease, Dr Hamish was very calming and took great care of my girl. They even have a sweet little cat boarding service and the animals looked very happy and content! The staff here really care, after our appointment they took the time to follow up with me and make sure everything was okay. Location is so convenient with parking out the back so you don't have to worry about transporting your pet, and booking is a super easy and convenient process. They are upfront and clear in their pricing and extremely reasonable. I've even had to bring injured wildlife to this clinic and the staff has always been welcoming. True animal lovers, they care for our domestic animals as well as our beautiful native wildlife. We will definitely be back! Thanks so much to all the wonderful staff

I'm truly happy to find you guys and recommend you to everyone. You care about animals and not trying to sell medicine and CT scans for no reason at all. Thank you once again

Alicia Boyd Posted on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: My cat had a fairly extreme looking allergic reaction to anaesthesia and medications during their desexing operation last Friday. It was extremely difficult to get any clear information on the medications they gave him although I did get this sent to me about 4 hours after repeatedly requesting it, minus clear details around the anaesthesia charted and how it was administered. My partner tried to phone the vet for clarification as I was quite upset about the delays in getting this essential info. The vet nurse and vet also refused to speak with him to clarify what anaesthesia he was given. He was really calm and polite about it but they wouldn't even talk to him. I have to really rate SASH Alexandria though, they'd treated the allergic reaction as best they could with no information from the vet, and eventually the vet had sent them the same partial medication info and they inferred that the most likely cause of the reaction was the Meloxicam being injected into his skin by mistake instead of into the subcutaneous area. It's great to get this kind of clarification, but I had to go to another vet for it. I really wish I'd read the other one star reviews before bringing my pets to this vet practice. How people deal with mistakes they make, how they treat people who raise concerns - in this case in a mean spirited vindictive and completely dismissive manner from the looks of things, it tells you a lot. These vets are totally fine, unless they do anything wrong at all in which case they will almost certainly not acknowledge this or look after you or your pet's best interests. An apology? Forget about it.

Jessie Borrow Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had called in a panic because my dog was acting very unusual. She fit me in right away and the vet was very professional and kind. She had took her time to explain everything and had asked for permission before she did anything. I will for sure be back after the help. Thank you so much for helping my dog out

peter bajjada Posted on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I once again was very happy with your professional care. I used to attend another Vet for many years but the last 2 or 3 occasions I have used your practice which has been a refreshing experience. What I like is that you are not pushy with your up selling and your fees are reasonable. Simple approach to getting to the source of the problem and treated it without all the "oh you need this and that and come back ten times

Mariapia Albano Posted on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: My dog got intoxicated by a piece of meat in the park, but they listed colitis on the invoice instead of mention that he has been intoxicated . When I called to request a correction, the person on the phone was rude, stating they couldn't amend the invoice only because my insurance didn't cover it. I simply wanted the truth about my dog's condition on the invoice. It was my first visit, and I won't be going back; it seems reasonable to expect an accurate representation of what happened to my dog on the invoice. Answer: Is not true that you've submitted to my insurance that my dog ingested something because I've called them, you wrote the name of a disease which is not what my dog had! I gently asked to include that in the invoice. But it seems is too much to ask and my insurance won't cover me because you decided to write something else on the invoice. Thank you anyway!

Blakehurst Vet
Blakehurst Vet

Such a shame you decided to write this after our vet helped your dog. The fact is we submitted to your insurance company that your dog ingested something at the park. If they decided not to cover you, we cannot then go back and change the history. This would be insurance fraud.

Stephanie Savidis Posted on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Catherine was very lovely and took the time to hear what was wrong with my dog Charlie, she was careful and respectful towards him which helped as he is afraid of going to the vet. She did a thorough check on him and was able to figure out what was wrong and proceed with the right treatment for him. Everyone was very nice and considerate towards my dog and did everything they could to make him feel comfortable. They also took the time to do a proper check and didn't rush it. Very professional and highly recommend them for your pets care.
