My parents elderly cat was unwell, and unsure if she'd make it back home, I had them say their goodbyes before taking her in to the vets. The entire team at Mosman Park were incredibly caring, kind, and professional, especially Dr. Kirra, who took time to assess the situation and recommend a thorough course of action, which involved keeping the cat for the day for testing and treatment. Kirra advised that I could bring her back the next day for extra care, but happily, it wasn't needed. The cat was feeling much better!! I highly recommend this vet clinic for their exceptional and compassionate service.

Very impressed with John the vet who was able to diagnose and resolve a dental issue with my Bengal cat. It was clear John truly cares about the well-being of his patients rather than racking up a big bill. The clinic staff were very polite and they were able to fit us in on the same day, with surgery the next day. Highly recommend this clinic.

We were on holiday and needed to get our little dogs' anule glands expressed as he had a stinky bum.😔 The female vetinarian was great with him and also got his nails clipped there. Great service and friendly staff.

The mosman park team are amazing, special Thanks to Dr John. Ever since my Cat was referred to John for an orthopaedic surgery it has been nothing but progress and unconditional care. The team are so understanding and work hard to care for my cat every time she is in. I never leave feeling uncertain or sacred with having all questions and procedures so clearly explained to me. I would highly recommend this vet practice to all my friends and family and anyone wanting anything from checkups to big surgeries. 🙌❤️

Our Vet John was so personable with my very nervous Staffy. So nice to have someone take the time and attention to my dog. John got down at the same level as my dog to administer the treatment. Highly recommend

Wonderful vet with friendly, hospitable service, and expert advice. Highly recommend doctors Sophie, Ciara and John. Mosman Park vet has been immensely helpful for our rescue pugs over the past couple of years. They hold a vast amount of experience with complex or problematic breeds, and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you to the team at Mosman Park.

I’ve been going to a nearby vet with my 2 littermate Labradoodle puppies (a girl and a boy). Coming up to their 6 month birthday and it’s becoming clear it is essential to desex them at 6 months ASAP. I’d attended this clinic’s puppy school (absolutely fabulous). I wasn’t happy with the book-in process at the other vet - felt closed down and my concerns around managing a poop eating little boy and a leaf eating and paper eating little girl not listened to. I dropped in to this clinic and so glad I did. What a difference! Not only could I drop my puppies off 2 and a half hours earlier, they were also very compassionate in listening to and addressing my worries over delivering 2 properly fasted puppies! UPDATE: It was wonderful working with this practice to get the best result. Ended up spaying only small sized Lulu at 6 months and will now wait to neuter medium sized Benji. Everything went so well with Lulu. Very happy. Will bring back Benji when we settle on the right time with the vet. So impressed with how this practice worked with me to deal with 2 littermates. We ended up with a bodysuit and not a cone because Benji was a pain trying to get a cone off when Lulu had an ear infection! (My niece had her dachshund spayed elsewhere today and is now coming to see my vet for a bodysuit because her vet don’t offer body suits!) Her dachshund is used to wearing outfits but not cones so it’s a no brainer 🙃 UPDATE: Benji was neutered on 12 March. I was again so impressed how well this vet practice dealt with him. He’s anxious. They worked brilliantly with me to help Ben get through this. So impressed. Thank you.

Wonderful experience at this vet. The vet I usually attend was fully booked and my dog had developed a lump on her backside. Mosman Park had an appointment for me within 20 minutes and dealt with her issue swiftly (turned out to be an abscess). They even gave me a small towel to put on my car seat as I had rushed out of the house in a hurry and forgotten to take one with me. Handy that they open until 7pm during the week. Will now be using this practice as my regular vet!

My experience was an absolute delight. The vet was incredibly thorough in their examination and explanation of my dog's condition, using terms that we could easily understand. They genuinely cared, treating her with compassion and respect. The treatment plan they provided is realistic, giving me the confidence I needed.
