I want to thank Dr Jen and her staff including Eleanor for their fear free approach with my cat who is very scared of going to the vets. They popped us straight into their quiet cat room, allowed me to bring him in just before his procedure so he didn't have to wait in the cages (and continue to increase his stress levels) and allowed us to pick him up as soon as he was ready so he didn't need to stay any longer. They gave me excellent advice about steps to do to decrease his stress levels before coming into the clinic. Dr Jen was very gentle with him, talked to him softly and had great handling skills. Thank you Dr Jen, it was very much noticed and appreciated. Thank you to all the staff there for being so wonderful with Toby with our recent visit and procedure.
I can’t speak highly enough of the team at Dr Paws Kotara. They combine professionalism with genuine warmth and compassion. Every appointment is handled with care, clear communication, and a real commitment to the wellbeing of every pet. Their pricing is fair, their advice is honest, and their dedication to excellent care is evident in everything they do. I’ve taken my pets there for years, both dogs and cats, and from routine vaccinations to emergency care, they’ve always been amazing
A reasonably priced clinic with helpful, kind and knowledgeable staff. Dr Hamilton and Dr Seow have been nothing short of brilliant. My (absolutely feral) miniature dachshund has had two emergency visits, plus two vaccine appointments and the clinic is always clean, reliable and safe.
Eddie was a very good boy for his annual trip to the Vet. Dr Chloe was very impressed. Eddie loves Dr Chloe.😻😻Thanks for making his visit easy.🥰🥰
Great care for our pet and knowledgeable in all things dogs. They recommended the ‘vaccines for life’ program for $600 so that we don’t have to pay for another vaccine for the life of our pup. Such a great program to take the stress out of booking vaccines each year! Their night pet classes run by Mel have also been amazing!
