Excellent clinic. I must say they offer a top of the line service here and the clinic is located in St Kilda at a easy to find spot with reasonable parking opportunities. I found the talented staff very caring people, particularly paying attention to what I had noticed was going on with all the pets that I had previously presented to them. I had to leave my pets on different occasions and was extremely happy to see that my animals we're not only in better condition but happy as well. They know their stuff and have good management to boot. Read Less

Took our mini schnauzer in on a Sunday with no warning as he had been stung by a bee in the park. The nurse Jess helped us straight away. Excellent customer service and they clearly care about the animals they treat. Read Less

Justin and the team are superb. We've been taking our cavoodles here for the past two years and we've had nothing but great experiences with the vets. The dogs love them and they always take the time to explain everything to us. Highly recommend using them if you're in the area. Read Less

We've been going there for health check ups and vaccines , helpful staff, they open until a little later so we can take our pets there after work. Had to wait for 25 mins last time we were there but otherwise they've been alright Read Less

We have utilised several vets during our numerous dogs' lives, and now use St.Kilda vet as our preferred clinic. Having previously worked at another clinic, i can say that St.Kilda vet is a fantastic clinic with caring staff and the quality of veterinarians the reason why i continue to take my dogs here. Dr. Karen Boyd-Jones is a wonderful vet and the team she has assembled to support her is second to none. I find their prices very competitive, and whilst some might view them on the high side, the quality of service they provide means it is well worth it. The practice has gotten busier and busier since i first came here, which is thoroughly deserved. Read Less

In general it's a good clinic but there are several things that could improve. One thing is the price of the treatments. Expensive compared to other clinics. The other thing is, which is the most important one, the efficiency and proffessionalism of some of the vets. My dog had dental issues that were very evident just smeling his breath. I mentioned it everytime I had an appointment to do routine checks to my dogs. None of them told me anything about it, it was like it was not very important, nothing to worry about. One day I got an appointment with the owner of the clinic. Without asking her, she checked my dogs teeth and I could see in her face that something was very bad. She urged me to get an appointment to clean his teeth urgently otherwise I could loose my dog. I complained. Why no one told me before? Even having showed my worries about his bad breath? I received no answer. Since this day, I always book appointments with her. Last week we cleaned my dog's teeth for the second time in 3 years but this time she discovered that his dental issues affected his heart a bit so we needed to put him in a new treatment. Read Less

Having used St Kilda Vet for over two years for my dog, Fez I've generally and genuinely been very satisfied with the service, particularly Dr. Justin. Our most recent visit however has left me seething. My boy Fez loves a good run on the beach and after one recent run, he pulled up lame. When there was no improvement, an appointment was made. I explained to the vet (Laura) that I'd not been able to find anything in his paw that might be causing the problem. That said, I'm not a vet. At this point, Fez was unable to put any weight on his back right leg. After a cursory feel around, I was advised that he'd 'definitely' torn a muscle in his leg, a muscle the vet was not able to name I might add. I was advised that it would be best to take him to a specialist for his breed. We've now had two visits to the specialist, the first of which took less than a couple of minutes to locate the splinter in the pad of his paw that was causing the issue, and then confirmed by x-ray. The second visit to remove it. This afternoon, I received an apology call from St Kilda Vet and a promise of consultation fee being refunded. When I took the call, I was not given any opportunity to speak, I was spoken at, not to. I quite literally didn't get an opportunity to get a word out, so now, this is my opportunity. Neither the apology nor the refund would have been necessary had the vet spent anymore than the one minute assessing Fez before sending us on our way, my wallet lightened to the tune of $90 in the process. It appears that the churn and burn capacity of this method of assessment and billing carries more importance than the welfare of the animal or the accuracy of the diagnosis. While I welcome the apology and the refund as an acknowledgement of the inappropriate care and assessment of my dog, I'd much rather it had not been necessary to begin with. Time to find another vet.

I have two cats, one of whom has anxiety issues, and the resident animal behaviourist, Dr Katrina, and all the staff have been so helpful and patient as we slowly trained him to become comfortable going there, which involved many short visits that slowly grew longer, ending up with him successfully getting vaccinated for the first time in years. Cannot say enough good things about them. Genuine animal lovers. Read Less

Their level of care and service has been wonderful, I Highly recommend this Vet. Read Less
