Pets are like children. No...seriously…read more... As a young cat lady, dog lady, budgie lady and fish lady growing up I went through many a vet clinic with one or multiple pets. But like a good doctor, you end up finding a favourite and sticking with them. Unley Vet is such a place. As my childhood friends (and pseudo brothers and sisters to said only child) began to get a lot older and more decrepid, we would rely on the caring and loving nature of the local female vets at this clinic. They would always provide a range of care options and were so knowledgeable about everything that was going on with our (what felt like) 100 year old cats and dogs that we knew we could trust leaving them over night or staying there in their care. Fast forward 12 years on and there was no question where I would take my little baby (kitten) for his first vaccinations and care. The service is still just as friendly, they get excited by your pet's name, let alone their personality, and have even sent us additional "your first kitten" information since we went there. Prices are reasonable and advice is non-bias and brief but they always have time for you to answer more questions or are happy to send out more information. If only Dr Harry or the Bondi Vet worked here...

Pet Pampering! Not…read moremany businesses in the service industry are fee free for no service however my outstanding local vet is. However I guess if you're at the vet with your adorable pet you are most likely in need of some professional assistance! We have been frequenting Unley Vet for many years with an assortment of dogs and cats in their latter years and all the vets there have been absolutely invaluable and supportive in their care and advice. They truly love animals and treat yours as if they are the most gorgeous and beautiful in the world (which of course they are)! Our current cat was a foundling abandoned on their doorstep at 2 weeks old who they hand reared and named until we could take him home so Unley Veterinary Surgery holds a special place in our hearts however I can unbiasedly endorse their professional approach and care. And if you're looking for a general check-up for your special pooch or feline and they are in tip top shape there is no charge!! A bonus just to know they are A-ok!

I would like to recommend this clinic to anyone who is looking for a well maintained and…read moreprofessional veterinary clinic.

Today I saw Dr. Tom and he was terrific he said since we explained the differences between the country I can from Australia and the recommendations for and recommendations for assisting with our little dogs anxiety related to the move. He suggested that I go to a chemist for over-the-counter supplements and order a caller from the Internet rather than buying it from a store or from their vet clinic as it was far too expensive. Overall it was a very positive experience and I didn't feel rushed at all. Dr . Tom explained everything well and encourage me to ask questions. Appointments are easy to schedule and the vet is open seven days a week with a few days even open as late as 8 PM.

No matter which side of town I lived on or how many vets there were between me and this one, I always came here. They have an awesome after hours service. I can't say enough wonderful things about them.

One of the most important things about owning a pet is finding a great Vet. I constantly get asked…read morewhere do I take my dogs and cat for check ups. I guess it is just like trying to find yourself the best GP. Over the years I have been to many Vet's and I have had lots of positive and negative experiences. I was finally given a recommendation for Blackwood Vets. This was possibly the best recommendation I could have ever asked for. Blackwood Vets have gone above and beyond for my dog. Sometimes emergencies happen. Let's face it, we can only communicate so much to our animals and we do try to avoid problems. But, they sometimes get themselves in silly situations, like my dog Igor. One day he decided that a large rubber toy was food. Unfortunately after eating it, it got stuck in his intestine and blocked it up. We rushed him to the Vet after noticing he was sick and would not eat. After some x-rays and careful observations the Vet said it was best to operate to remove the obstruction. The vet removed the toy and some of his lower intestine. They talked us through each step and not only looked after my lil' guy, but also looked after us after being quite distressed with the whole situation. Igor was nursed back to health and made friends with the whole veterinary team. They even called me late evening to check how he and we were doing post surgery. They took such amazing care of him and treated him as if he was their own pet. My lil' buddy Igor is in full health now and looks forward to see them all when he returns for his check ups. I am so dedicated to this Vet, that I travel quite far now to get to them. I do not mind a drive if it means that my animals receive the best health care. I recommend this Vet to any and everyone! If I could give them 20 stars I would! ;D

We had our first and last dealing here with Mary Ann. She is by far the most dedicated, lovely vet…read moreI've ever met. It always felt like you were valued and special here, not like you're a meal ticket or just part of the production line. Blackwood Vets saved my dog from a spider bite when our local vet refused to even consider her symptoms and the nasty looking lump on her could be related. She was a nervous girl, so took many many visits before accepting a liver treat from Mary Ann, but eventually she did. Yesterday my lovely girl passed away in our arms at home. The night before, she was on a drip at Blackwood Vets, and Mary Ann went in overnight several times to check on her. She did everything she could, and made the process a lot easier than I expected. It breaks my heart, but you can't ask for any better care for your beloved pets. I am so thankful we found this place, the staff are all lovely, and make it a friendly atmosphere (including previously inviting us and our doggy to be part of the Blackwood Christmas Pageant!). They have "vets with heart" written on the backs of their uniform, and I've never seen a more true slogan. They truly love animals.
