Completely dissatisfied with this practice. Outrageous charges and practices against the well being of the puppy. The owner requested that I handle the interactions due to her age and lack of experience. They ignored this request and even hung up on me when I attempted to speak to the attending vet. Trying to resolve what has gone wrong and have had to take the matter to Australia Consumer Affairs to get them to even communicate.

Have had my puppy Harley now for 4 months and he has been to this vet multiple times for injections, desexing and also attended their puppy school. They have always been professional, the place is very clean and the staff friendly - when Harley came home from desexing I think he wanted to go back as he got so much love and attention for the day! Glad I chose this vet when I moved to Frankston as I'm very happy with their service and trust them with my fur babies! Read Less

I use the 24 hour dog wash available at the back of the vet clinic. Minimum spend is $10 and there are 2 enclosed wash bays available(there is a note that small dogs can escape through the pool type fencing). I have a large breed short haired dog and to wash and give him a good blow dry it costs me $20. No change machine is available and if you put a $20 note in there is no change given so bring the right as mount of notes or coins. Read Less

One of the most professional, caring places I’ve been! Unfortunately my dog passed away on the way to the vet. They did everything they could to bring him back but it was too late. The service I received at this troubling time was outstanding! They sent a card with signatures from everyone in the vet and handled everything that needed to be done. Previous to this I had never even been here! I highly recomend this place to anyone with a pet! Thankyou again for all your help! Read Less

Sadly our dear 20 year old cat Misty had suffered a stroke and the time had come for her to leave us. Karingal vets were sensitive, caring and very mindful of our situation and made the hard decision as comfortable as possible for us all. Many thanks to Nancy for her kindness and compassion. Also many thanks to the lovely staff who voiced their commiseration and the letter that followed. Read Less

As a new pet owner taking on two rescue kittens has been an experience to say the least. I just wanted to say thank you to Ari who took the time and care not only for my kittens but also for me when one of them became unwell. The other vet I've met since has been equally as kind and the reception staff and nurses genuinely care about the animals and people who come through the door. That is very clear to see. I hope I don't have to visit again soon but if I do I know my fur babies will be looked after! Read Less

An extra big shout out to all the lovely people at KVH who squeezed us in tonight after Lester decided to make a snack out of something that he shouldn't have. The service you provided as always was caring, honest and efficient. Thank you guys, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Read Less

Won't ever be back.. After taking my cat in with a swollen paw and being told he needs an emergency op to drain his foot at a cost just shy of $400. This did not feel right, so I took him for a second opinion the next morning. Might add the swelling had gone down considerably, the vet was shocked to learn that you guys were going to open him up for nothing but money. SHAME.... customers be aware of unnecessary operations and more importantly the unnecessary stress on your pets. Read Less

Having only just moved to Melbourne, I will always be grateful that out of all the clinics in the area, I chose Karingal Vet Hospital. Experiencing complications after an ACL repair (TTA) which had been done elsewhere, my dog was treated with great care, expertise and love, and I can only describe the service as being of the highest standard. The vets were very knowledgeable in general medicine as well as that particular area of orthopedics, conscientious and thorough, and prices were very fair. Not only was I very impressed with the veterinary treatment itself, but also the willingness to refer me to a specialist when the vet (promptly and correctly) diagnosed an additional complication (patella alta) that cannot be dealt with in even the best small animal practice. Without their excellent care, quick and accurate diagnosis and appropriately referring me when necessary, my dog would not be walking today. (PS, I worked in the area of veterinary practice for two years myself; I am "fussy" to say the least. But I can only warmly recommend this clinic, unreservedly!)Read Less
