We've been going to CVH since we got Nova in March and can highly recommend it. We took Nova to their puppy classes, got her vaccines there and now we are adopting a kitten through them. The staff are excellent and their number one priority is always the animals, exactly as it should be. Everyone we have dealt with at CVH have constantly put in the extra bit of effort to make sure Nova is the best she can be. I'd especially like to call out both Alicia and Colleen for their outstanding service so far, thank you both for everything you do!

Helped sort our cat out, and grateful for this but more expensive than quoted plus hidden and unnecessary costs, a cat that has not had water in ~18-24 hours is thirsty and any reasonable and educated person wouldn’t need to perform a blood test for $190 (especially after the cat was determined to be healthy prior to removing and obstructive object, which was obviously the cause) to determine this. The cat is damn thirsty, next. Further to this they also tried to scare us into further and more unnecessary treatment and would not listen to my refusal to undergo this further treatment after refusing more than half a dozen times in the space of 15 seconds very clearly. If it an emergency yeah good place to go on a Sunday, otherwise go somewhere a little more down to earth and reasonable. The cat is happily purring at home playing with the other cat and by no means required any more treatment.

I have been to a few vets in Canberra and been double charged for really poor services where my pup had barely been looked at. This week she became severely unwell and it left me petrified to attend any Vet to help her. I presented unannounced to Canberra Vet Hospital first thing in the morning. Not only was I greeted with friendly and genuine service but my pup was looked at straight away. Over her two day admission I was continuously updated on her condition without having to chase them. They made decisions always within the best interest of my dog and did not offer excessive and unnecessary treatments. I could not thank this team enough for their efforts and compassionate understanding throughout the process.

Fantastic puppy school. Alicia is the Dog Whisperer. Seriously any training you need (including with kids) go along to her. They run puppy preschool which has given our Border X Kelpie the best start. We've never had such a well trained dog. I've seen Alicia teach people how to transform a dog who doesn't get along with other dogs into a friendly chap within a couple of hours. Highly recommend!

Everything was explained in detail and we were kept informed by text message on Jimmy’s progress throughout the day. Alicia was extremely helpful when we picked Jimmy up thoroughly explaining his medication, food and post-surgery care. We also got a pleasant surprise when the fee was a lot less than originally quoted. Thank you also to Dr Allison who performed the surgery and all other staff for taking care of our special little guy.

This is a huge shout out to all staff, especially nurse Alicia. We have been bringing our Digger to your vet since we adopted him and have always been very happy with the service. I mentioned last visit that we had issues clipping Digger’s nails so we were booked in for another appointment with Alicia. When we arrived instead of Alicia just clipping his nails and having us return each month she showed us some extremely useful tips and now my husband and I can clip digger’s nails ourselves. Digger is still a little stubborn but he along with us are learning each time we clip :) Thanks Alicia and all the other vet drs, nurses and staff at CVH :)

Recently moved to this veterinary service and they have been incredibly friendly and attentive to my 7-year-old Border Collie. They text reminders for appointments and pickups for medicine. There is not usually much wait for appointments and vets/nurses generally run to schedule. The appointments themselves do not feel rushed though, they are willing to talk to you and assuage any fears you have about your pets health. They are a bit on the pricey side but you definitely get what you pay for. Would highly recommend this vet!

My little Jack Russell Hendrix, had his face and mouth mauled by a staffy cross. I had no appointment , I just showed up with an injured dog. The reception staff and the vet were phenomenal, they will give you honest and straightforward advice. They are also reasonable with the prices for treatment, I paid a lot less then I was expecting, especially considering I had no appointment. They did a follow up call to check on my little one the day after he was home. Plus the return appointment at the vet was free! just a quick check up! 5/5 JUST AWESOME!!!!

Just took Tilley up to the vet at the Canberra Vet Hospital. We were 4-5 minutes late so our appointment was cancelled. We were told we would have to reschedule. After having gone to this practice for over 15 years with 5-6 pets I won't be going back. Many a time I've spent 15-20-30 minutes plus waiting for a vet. Now I'm running late and my appointment is CANCELLED!. I'm just glad my dog was not seriously injured! This is not the type of compassion and support I seek from my vet. One very unhappy ex-customer!

Honestly the worst vets in the world. Wouldn't help when my dog got hit by a car and I was standing there holding a dying dog in my pyjamas begging them to just put him to sleep. They wouldn't without cash.
I now have a German Shepherd with an ear infection. Costed about $800 to knock her out and look at how bad the infection was. He was supposed to clean her ear out while she was knocked out but wouldn't , told us to come back a second time. Just so he could charge us an extra $800.
Shame on you. Shame on all of you. You don't care about animals at all. You only care about cash. With all my heart, I detest this vet.

Early last year I unfortunately had to say goodbye to my 19 year old kitten. Canberra Vet Hospital were quick in the diagnosis and helped make his life in his final days and weeks as comfortable as possible. They were kind and compassionate to both myself and my pet. Since his passing, I've adopted a brand new kitten. The vets and nurses have given him the best care. It's great how the reception is split between cats and dogs, it makes the experience much less stressful for the animals.

We had to put our dog through two biopsies and we were charged for both. which is unfair because they failed to get a sample to test the first time. We have also been disappointed at the lack of communication between staff members. Each visit throughout our dogs cancer treatment we have seen a different vet or vet nurse, no one seemed to know what was going on. We couldn't get a straight answer from any of the vets as to what we should do for our dog. Will not be coming back any time soon.

Further to this they also tried to scare us into further and more unnecessary treatment and would not listen to my refusal to undergo this further treatment after refusing more than half a dozen times in the space of 15 seconds very clearly. If it an emergency yeah good place to go on a Sunday, otherwise go somewhere a little more down to earth and reasonable.

Not only was I greeted with friendly and genuine service but my pup was looked at straight away. Over her two day admission I was continuously updated on her condition without having to chase them. They made decisions always within the best interest of my dog and did not offer excessive and unnecessary treatments. I could not thank this team enough for their efforts and compassionate understanding throughout the process.

Fantastic puppy school. Alicia is the Dog Whisperer. Seriously any training you need (including with kids) go along to her. They run puppy preschool which has given our Border X Kelpie the best start. We've never had such a well trained dog. I've seen Alicia teach people how to transform a dog who doesn't get along with other dogs into a friendly chap within a couple of hours. Highly recommend!

We have 3 pugs all who are patients at Canberra Vet hospital. Our fawn boy Jimmy had 9 teeth extracted today. As we have come to expect, the service, professional and care for Jimmy was outstanding. Everything was explained in detail and we were kept informed by text message on Jimmy’s progress throughout the day. Alicia was extremely helpful when we picked Jimmy up thoroughly explaining his medication, food and post-surgery care. We also got a pleasant surprise when the fee was a lot less than originally quoted. Thank you also to Dr Allison who performed the surgery and all other staff for taking care of our special little guy.

This is a huge shout out to all staff, especially nurse Alicia. We have been bringing our Digger to your vet since we adopted him and have always been very happy with the service. I mentioned last visit that we had issues clipping Digger’s nails so we were booked in for another appointment with Alicia. When we arrived instead of Alicia just clipping his nails and having us return each month she showed us some extremely useful tips and now my husband and I can clip digger’s nails ourselves. Digger is still a little stubborn but he along with us are learning each time we clip :) Thanks Alicia and all the other vet drs, nurses and staff at CVH :)

Recently moved to this veterinary service and they have been incredibly friendly and attentive to my 7-year-old Border Collie. They text reminders for appointments and pickups for medicine. There is not usually much wait for appointments and vets/nurses generally run to schedule. The appointments themselves do not feel rushed though, they are willing to talk to you and assuage any fears you have about your pets health. They are a bit on the pricey side but you definitely get what you pay for. Would highly recommend this vet!

I love knowing that my cat is in safe hands, that's why I love taking her to Canberra Veterinary Hospital. The staff have demonstrated that they truly care about each pet they treat, and they are fantastic at liaising with owners like me in order to explain what's going on, what needs to be done and how to get the pet back on track.

Was on a holiday seeing family than my dog had an accident and needed to have surgery to get his tooth pulled out. I felt so comfortable leaving Ace there for the day they absolutely adored him didn’t mind I called more times than I needed to to ask about how everything is going they were understanding of trying to find money to afford the surgery as I was on holidays and didn’t have it with me. My partner and I and of course Ace will be back to say thank you i loved everything about this place thank you thank you

I have been taking my pets to Canberra Vet Hospital for over 17 years. The reception staff are friendly and helpful and the vet nurses and vets so kind and caring. Our gorgeous cat contracted cancer and, despite our best efforts, succumbed to the disease. The care showed to both our cat and our family was indescribable. I wouldn't rake my pets anywhere else.

Canberra Vet has the most caring and compassionate staff I have ever been to. My boy Ricko passed away last week and the care was above and beyond. The following day we received a dozen yellow roses which followed by a card signed by all the staff. Sadly I don have any more pets left to be taken care of but we highly recommend this vet hospital. Thank you all. Janelle and David.

I've never really liked visiting the vets. I've tried telling my mummy this by singing loudly and and pretending I'm a pancake on the floor each time I'm there. Now that I'm an old girl she insists on bringing me to see you twice a year! I don't know what I'm scared of though because whenever I'm there you humans are all super duper nice to me and always give me treats after I let you poke and prod me. I've been visiting you for nearly 13 years now and even though I get a bi...t stressed I hope I get to keep visiting you for a few more years yet. Thanks for all you have done for me and all my furry friends, from Guinness Harry See More

I found you guys originally by location, I tried Gungahlin vets and a couple others too.

If any of my furry children every have any issue, you're my first point of call. From big surgeries we've had to get done, to little questions about general health. You guys are fantastic Best vets in town. I recommend so many people to you guys Keep up the amazing work See More

My little Jack Russell Hendrix, had his face and mouth mauled by a staffy cross. I had no appointment , I just showed up with an injured dog. The reception staff and the vet were phenomenal, they will give you honest and straightforward advice. They are also reasonable with the prices for treatment, I paid a lot less then I was expecting, especially considering I had no appointment. They did a follow up call to check on my little one the day after he was home. Plus the return appointment at the vet was free! just a quick check up! 5/5 JUST AWESOME!!!!

Just took Tilley up to the vet at the Canberra Vet Hospital. We were 4-5 minutes late so our appointment was cancelled. We were told we would have to reschedule. After having gone to this practice for over 15 years with 5-6 pets I won't be going back. Many a time I've spent 15-20-30 minutes plus waiting for a vet. Now I'm running late and my appointment is CANCELLED!. I'm just glad my dog was not seriously injured! This is not the type of compassion and support I seek from my vet. One very unhappy ex-customer!

Honestly the worst vets in the world. Wouldn't help when my dog got hit by a car and I was standing there holding a dying dog in my pyjamas begging them to just put him to sleep. They wouldn't without cash.
I now have a German Shepherd with an ear infection. Costed about $800 to knock her out and look at how bad the infection was. He was supposed to clean her ear out while she was knocked out but wouldn't , told us to come back a second time. Just so he could charge us an extra $800.
Shame on you. Shame on all of you. You don't care about animals at all. You only care about cash. With all my heart, I detest this vet.

Fantastic team of friendly and professional staff. Have been going to Canberra Veterinary Hospital for many years. Recently they have saved our beloved ridgeback with emergency surgery twice within one year thanks to their skilled staff (Dr Stuart, Dr Ali). Very helpful and friendly reception staff (especially Nicole, who always seems to be on when there is an emergency)
Thanks

Early last year I unfortunately had to say goodbye to my 19 year old kitten. Canberra Vet Hospital were quick in the diagnosis and helped make his life in his final days and weeks as comfortable as possible. They were kind and compassionate to both myself and my pet. Since his passing, I've adopted a brand new kitten. The vets and nurses have given him the best care. It's great how the reception is split between cats and dogs, it makes the experience much less stressful for the animals.

We had to put our dog through two biopsies and we were charged for both. which is unfair because they failed to get a sample to test the first time. We have also been disappointed at the lack of communication between staff members. Each visit throughout our dogs cancer treatment we have seen a different vet or vet nurse, no one seemed to know what was going on. We couldn't get a straight answer from any of the vets as to what we should do for our dog. Will not be coming back any time soon.

Three weeks ago, we found one of Snow's paw was swollen, so we took him to the emergency vet in Fyshwick due to it was Saturday, but the doctor at there seems not concern about it, and let us went home. After a week, I found his paw was bleeding and took him to the Canberra Vet, Dr Monica found that there were two holes on his paw, one at the top, one on the other side, and those two are connected, also his paw got very bad infection....They gave his paw a good clean, and after a week care, Snow had a small surgery on his paw yesterday, and hope he will recover soon. I really appreciate everything you did for Snow! Thank you all the doctors and nurses from Canberra Vet!
