4 Paws Veterinarians - Charles St Vet Clinic: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Always very accommodating, the staff are very professional and friendly, highly recommend. Our big boy has had 2 knee surgeries here
Fantastic experience: I took my pup there today and felt so welcome!! The atmosphere was nice and the vet was lovely. She was able to answer all my questions and provided great advice.
Fantastic experience: Just want to say a massive thank you to Sam for working with Marley with her pain management all the way to the end today the staff made us all feel comfortable and most of all Marley thank you team
Fantastic experience: My husband & I had to have our beloved Frank put down on 17/7. The Vet & team were amazing & compassionate during this period. They gave us time to say our farewells & respected our privacy but also were amazingly supportive. We received a beautiful card from the 4Paws Team & Frank's Nose & Pawprints. What was an extremely emotional & extremely difficult time was made easier because of the 4Paws Team. Thank you from The Timms Family
Fantastic experience: Dr Bree and the entire team are absolutely fabulous, so knowledgeable and so very kind. It was such a relief knowing my girl was in good hands. Also very affordable which is an added bonus! Couldn’t recommend more
Fantastic experience: I want to thank Dr Lisa and the wonderful team at 4 Paws. We have been taking our dogs there for years, and have always found the staff to be very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Dr Lisa has also gone above and beyond with helping 1of our fur babys who had a somewhat unusual issue. Recently we had to make the extremely horrible choice to euthanise our other fur baby and Dr Lisa and the staff were incedibly kind and compassionate during the whole process. Afterwards, they sent a lovely, hand written sympathy card which included paw prints of the fur baby that we lost. I highly recommend 4 Paws and thank them for their assistance over the years and future years to come.
Fantastic experience: Have taken all 4 of my pets there and had no troubles, only the best and honest care and suggestions and are very reasonable with pricing. We recently had to put one of our cats down and they were so loving and caring throughout the whole process and then sent a personal card in the mail which meant so much. Would definitely recommend 4 paws.
Fantastic experience: I have dealt with these guys along with the condon 4 paws vet for about 10 years now and I have nothing but praise for the girls and guys here. No pushy sales tactics, empathetic and professional and no nasty side eye if you let your needles laps ( though don't let heartworm laps!) , I could recommend them to anyone, thanks again.
Fantastic experience: They really looked after my jack Russell, best vet surgery in Townsville.
Fantastic experience: Can't thank the team enough for providing great support and care for our fur baby in the most trying circumstances. Dr Lisa, Dr Riley and others performed emergency life saving surgery despite Cyclone Kirrily and finished at 2.30pm well after other businesses had shut for the storm. They were helpful with queries, communicated sensitively and provided practical professional advice. Their diagnosis and projections also very accurate.
Fantastic experience: Very caring and helpful
Fantastic experience: Appreciate the team at 4 Paws so much!!

Fantastic experience: The Vet Dr Sam was wonderful so was all th staff. Can't thank them enough for all there help.
Negative experience: Vet was brilliant unfortunately was completely let down by the admin staff, I would suggest that if it common practice to screen phone calls to follow up on a very clear mistake on admins part that you may lose a few more clients , Oh in case you try say i was abusive i never raised my voice or was even rude just tried calling back to chase up paperwork that was never sent that had been requested for 2 days to take care of my furbaby suddenly i can't get through but call on my mates phone oh instantly through and you didn't seem to happy To be corrected on your mistake WILL NOT BE COMMING BACK
Fantastic experience: Always amazing service and assistance from a great team of knowledgeable staff. Always welcoming to our nutcase golden retriever
Fantastic experience: Been a client of theirs for years always been great friendly staff, affordable and great with my pets.
Fantastic experience: Brought in a Pupper with a reoccurring problem. The vets did a quick assessment and treated instantly. Much cheaper than other vets for a small procedure like this and it was hassle free. Nothing but a good experience for all, and the dog is back to full yip-yap vitality.
Positive experience: Had my dog in there home now.
Fantastic experience: 4 Paws have been amazing with our gorgeous 17yo dog. They are caring and very professional. Would love to thank the amazing staff and our vet. 20/20.
Fantastic experience: Great staff look after your pets very well
Fantastic experience: 4Paws have always taken excellent care of my dogs and are especially patient and understanding of my high strung pooches. Very happy with the service and expertise given.
Fantastic experience: Very nice service and the staff are really friendly
Fantastic experience: 4 paws vet cared for both our beautiful dogs Chloe and Mickey over the years. We have just sadly said goodbye to our faithful loyal Mickey. Dr Lisa was so caring, friendly, professional and supportive through this very difficult time. We will be forever thankful to "ALL" the staff that cared so much for us and went above and beyond for our family.
Negative experience: The treatment my dog received was to an acceptable standard and the first vet who treated him was very professional. However upon returning to the clinic for a checkup I was seen by a different vet who had an extremely aggressive and authoritarian tone to which I decided I cannot continue to oblige. A year earlier I walked out of the same clinic feeling a little offended with the way I was spoken to. I have decided to seek out a more friendly veterinary service.
Fantastic experience: Dr Riley is amazing.
Fantastic experience: The staff at both the Riverway and Charles St clinics were absolutely fantastic when we presented to them with our very sick dog. They went above and beyond to ensure to our little dog received quality care and kept us updated throughout the whole process. They were quick to diagnose her illness and act on treating her immediately which we have no doubt saved her life.
Fantastic experience: Attended this clinic this morning (Easter Sunday) for the first time. Absolutely fabulous staff and service. They looked after ‘my furkids’ and were a delight to deal with! Thanks so much ladies! See you next time.
Negative experience: Was told 2 months ago my dog wasn't seen for the past 6 months for an infection so needed a consult, I understood and happily took my dog and paid their fees. Called up again recently for same infection, told will need to book another consult. Yeah nah not paying another consult fee after being told previously can only get the meds for the same infection if last appointment was within 6 months. If it was a different condition or my dog had not been seen for extended periods I'd understand the need for a consultation but that is just trying to make more money. I just needed his meds and would have paid the costs of them. If you are happy to pay consultation fees everytime your dog needs it's regular meds, this place is for you. Do not recommend, feels like it's more about money than providing care to animals.
Fantastic experience: Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the Veterinarians and Vet Nurses that saved the life of my cat Addison yesterday with emergency surgery. You went above and beyond for me and I felt very understood and cared for. I am endlessly grateful for what you have done for my family.
Fantastic experience: Kind caring considerate . Affordable
Fantastic experience: Wonderful, caring team. I trust 4 Paws with my furbabies.
Fantastic experience: Went in on a Sunday got us in straight away absolutely wonderful staff 10 out of 10 wouldn't use anyone else
Fantastic experience: Exceptional service and empathy. These are lovely professionals who will take excellent care of your furbaby. I'm so glad I changed from greencross to 4 paws.
Fantastic experience: My dog was very comfortable here and the staff were great both helpful and resourceful definitely will be back
Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Dr Mick and his awesome team, for their support, care, compassion and empathy when it came time for us to say our final farewell to our beloved Ruby, she was part of our family for so long, and was the hardest day of our life to make that choice, but the support and care that was shown to us was well above and beyond what was expected. We also used their puppy school, and our new girl actully loves going to visit the team at 4 Paws. Highly recommended every one there for all your vet care needs.
Fantastic experience: I like to thanks Mick and his amazing crews when it came to saying good bye to my lovely Ruby. They help out so much, I would recommend Mick and the 4 Paws Veterinarians. 5 stars. Their puppy preschool was amazing as well.
Negative experience: Our delivered dog was left sitting on a shelf (maybe) for 3 weeks. Was told they tried to call but could not get through. Didn't leave a message at all. Was disrespectful when asked why and no care was given. NO compassion in the slightest. Disgusted is an understatement!! Will never recommend to anyone. If youranimal passes on a Sunday this is not the place to take them if you want to see any kind of care.
Fantastic experience: Staff are lovely and very helpful in all questions i asked and understand. We having puppys
Fantastic experience: All the staff at the 4 paws veterinary, are very amazing. I really appreciate Lisa, at Charles Street in Townsville. she had been amazing through alot that me and my family have been through with the passing of our boxer, and now our new baby boxer. Best vets to go to ever.
Fantastic experience: We have been taking our furbabies to 4Paws for several years now and cannot fault a single thing they do. They are all such lovely people and care for our furbabies like they are there own. There prices are fantastic and there service always impeccable. Recommend them 100%.
Negative experience: Awful experience as far as I am concerned another 200+"dollars in unnecessary tests to tell me my dog is dying which I did not agree he needed don't take your animals there JCU is far more compassionate

Fantastic experience: Truly the most amazing vets and staff ever. So caring and i had so much confidence in the care they gave my little dog when she had a perforated eye from a cataract. I was told from other vets that the best option for her was to be put down because of her age. The vets at 4Paws on Charles st immediately operated and removed her eye with out any hesitation to give her at least a chance. They gave me so much confidence in their ability and care. My little dog came through with flying colours and is doing so well thanks to the vets at 4Paws. Best vets ever.
Positive experience: Emergency care for our cats completed with attention to detail...thankyou so much
