I used to take my dogs here for all their vet treatment. Both dogs have long since gone to where…read moredogs go when they die and I now go to a vet closer to home. On Lexington Avenue in Bella Vista, if you go too fast you miss the driveway which is hidden. The large signs saying Sydney Animal Hospital can only be seen from one direction so be careful. The hospital is bright and cheery - it reminds me of a children's dentist. All the vets on duty are female and very caring of the animals. They explain things very well and give you alternatives if you have a seriously ill pet. They also have a grooming salon. You take your pet in the morning then pick them up after 3pm smelling and looking beautiful. The prices are very reasonable and they take credit cards. They have a full retail store where you can buy dry food for dogs and cats and all accessories. It's too far for me to take my current dogs there as there are several vets closer but if I lived closer I would definitely still be using them.

I would NEVER recommend these guys.

Sam's piority to care for sick injured animals and he even goes above n beyond and makes the effort to offer his helping hand to those vulnerable people who cannot afford it themselves he wants the best for these animals so they live a full happy healthy life and his heart is phenomenal. I have never met a vet who has the biggest heart and goes way above his limits to help. When you walk into southern cross vet it feels like a family not just a veterinary clinic btw I have seen Hairy legs since Sam gave him chance to live a full life is a happy healthy dog and thanks to Sam can live a longer full filled life with its much loved owner who loves his dog dearly. I could not recommend this vet enough. ‍

It makes me sick the way some people treat animals. Particularly those that make a living from them. As a horse owner they should be banned from ever owing them again in my opinion.

The RSPCA is a non-profit organisation which relies on funding from the Australian public in order…read moreto rescue and re-home animals which have been abandoned, neglected or abused. Minimal government funding is provided which is unfortunate as the organisation does so much for domestic and wild animals in Australia. They petition for animal rights and are actively involved in campaigns within Australia and abroad. The RSPCA's Sydney rescue centre is located at Yagoona. While it may be considered a trek for some, it is well worth the visit if you are looking for a dog, cat, rabbit, or even a horse! As an animal activist myself, I have adopted three animals from the RSPCA over the last 21 years and absolutely adore them! They all have had a funny character, personable and friendly nature and a love of family. Last year I adopted a cat from the RSPCA. I had been looking at their adoption site online and could search all the cats and kittens which were available for adoption in the Sydney region. I found a beautiful cat, but it was located in the Snowy Mountains. Despite this small setback, the RSPCA relocated her to their Sydney centre free of charge and I was able to adopt her within a few weeks! Adoption fees cost around $200 and include everything from vaccinations to the cost of purchasing the animal. The staff at Yagoona are all very friendly and have the best interests of the animals in mind. Ensuring a suitable match between owner and pet is a priority for them. There is even an RSPCA hospital located on site which is convenient for those who live close by. All the pets at the RSPCA are extra cute; we almost came back with a dog in an addition to a cat. Please keep in mind, if you are not in for the long haul, do not consider buying a pet. The Adopt A Pet link: http://www.rspcansw.org.au/get_involved/adoptapet Please also note that the RSPCA centre is closed between 12-1:30pm each day from Monday to Friday.

The girls here are WONDERFUL! It's always comforting to know you're leaving your friend in the hands of dog lovers! And they even have a backyard! I left her at day care for 4 hours in which she was walked for 15mins and it cost me $20 - I think we were lucky enough to get 1st time customer love!

Very reasonable prices for the inner west / Sydney and they do the most amazing job. Washed, styled, ears cleaned and toenails cut all for $58 per small dog. Even though my dogs are a pain when it comes to being groomed (which is why I gave up on trying to do it myself) these ladies are masters at wrangling feisty little bastards and making them look beautiful. Bows for the girls and scarves for the boys are included (super cute). They are really accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times around work schedules etc. They let the dogs mingle (clean on one side of the counter and dirty on the other, very courteous!) so if your dog is a trouble maker you might want to let them know. They have one strict rule and that is NO FLEAS! So make sure you get the frontline on your pups well ahead of their appointment. Can't recommend these guys enough. They also have speciality treatments like colour tinting, nail painting, mud baths etc for the super pampered pooch. Not to mention a shop with the cutest dog accessories from Japan and locally made doggy treats.
