I have entrusted the care of my pets to Dr. Hamish and the staff st Blakehurst Vet for the last 12 years. In that time we have known Hamish to always provide our pets, whether it be our guinea pigs or beloved dog Henry, with expert veterinary care and attention. They have always made time for appointments even at short notice and they have provided follow up care after treatment plans were put in place. I recommend Blakehurst Vet to anyone who loves their pets and wants the best possible care for them. Thankyou Dr. Hamish....... Read Less

I have been taking my dog Teddy to Hamish for about 4 years. The service is always outstanding and the nurses are so friendly and caring. Teddy loves going to the vet, as they always fuss over him and make him feel at home. What more could a dog owner want. Thanks Blakehurst Vet. Read Less

Hamish and the staff at Blakehurst Vet Clinic could not be more caring. Hamish has looked after our furkids for 10 years and I could not ask for anything more from a vet. Daisy is 13 1/2 years old now and has faced many health concerns this past year- and at every step Hamish has been there helping her and advising me - and ensuring Daisy gets the most out of life that she possibly can, and is as healthy as she can be. I can't recommend Hamish and his staff highly enough- thankyou Hamish and all the staff for all you do for us! You're true gems !! Read Less

After an emergency admittance (two nights) at the Animal Referral Hospital our dog was still not well and Hamish and his team, with precise care and treatment, now has our Romeo on the mend after a life- threatening illness! Glad you have been our vet for 10 years Hamish! Read Less

Dr Hamish Bathgate is a wonderful vet. 4 years ago he saved my beautiful dog Niki when she had an Addisonian crisis. Addison’s disease is very difficult to diagnose and I am most grateful that Hamish had the expertise to solve her illness before it was too late. He is a caring, compassionate and experienced vet and I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a top rate vet then Hamish is the one. Read Less

One of my rescue dogs, Martie (a BIG boy) unfortunately requires sedation when being groomed. Its better for the Groomers as Mart is NOT patient and at least sedated, the groomers can give Mart a complete clip and get everything done that he wouldn't normally stand for if not knocked out. I had just returned to Sydney from interstate and o/s after many years and was apprehensive about finding a vet that I could trust Martie's sedation and Grooming needs to. As he also is a old dog now, I needed to ensure the vet was the best there is as sedating older dogs is risky. So I asked around and found that I kept getting the same answer. Blakehurst Vet was what I kept hearing and boy, am I grateful to everyone who referred me to them. They were soo kind. I explained to the girl on the phone that Mart urgently needed grooming but was told that due to the volcanic ash that was grounding aircraft in Bali, the vet's were currently stuck!. She explained that there was a chance the vet's may get back the following day and if they did, although they were chock-a-block, they would do all they could to fit Mart in. Well, throughout the day, I got calls updating me on the chances of the vet's return which I was so grateful for. Fortunately the vet's did return, Mart was booked in and although these poor guys who had spent heaven's only knows how long at Denpasar Airport waiting for a flight and then travelling straight into work, they greeted us with huge smiles and not one hint of being bothered at having an extra dog to deal with at such short notice. Martie was checked by the vet, sedated, groomed beautifully, reverse sedated and ready to go home looking like a million dollars faster than ever before. I cannot express to these guys how grateful I am to each and every one of them for going out of their way for us on a day I bet they all wished they were in bed rather than having to add into their already hectic day, a groom to a big lump of a dog. They are NOT money driven either. They truly care for the animal and in my opinion that what makes a vet a awesome one. Some I have encountered are sadly in it for the money. Ordering unnecessary tests, overcharging for various things etc etc. Others however such as all the staff at Blakehurst Vet are the opposite. They truly care for the welfare of the animal and their prices are extremely reasonable. I cannot recommend this Vet Clinic highly enough. God Bless You All for choosing to pursue a career taking care of our beloved family members. You are all worth your weight in gold.Read Less
