Here’s what our community is saying
We can’t recommend Village Vet Killara highly enough.
The team has taken such wonderful care of our whippet, Bambi, and we’ve always felt she was in the very best hands. The vets and nurses are incredibly caring, knowledgeable and professional, while still providing a genuinely personal service.
They take the time to explain everything clearly and always make us feel supported. Thank you for looking after Bambi so well.

We had an amazing experience at The Village Vet Killara today, thanks to the incredible Dr Belle, Liz and Sana. Their patience and care for our sensitive border collie, Billie, were next-level. Dr Belle’s thorough planning and preparation for Billie’s visit enabled us to ensure that she had a positive experience.
We couldn’t recommend the team at The Village Vet more highly!
Thanks for going above and beyond today and always.

I cannot recommend Josie and the Killara team highly enough!!!! We had a really difficult experience at another vet, which left my dog quite anxious about vet visits, so I was a bit nervous about bringing her somewhere new.
Josie and the team have been incredibly kind, patient and understanding from the beginning. They took the time to make her feel comfortable and completely changed her experience of going to the vet. Her vaccinations were effortless, with no pain or reaction, and she has bonded with josie too 💖
So grateful to have found a vet team we trust

We love the whole team at West Pymble village vet, they have been looking after us for the past 5 years and always go above and beyond. Elle and the team took such beautiful care of our dog recently. I especially appreciated their communication and updates throughout his care. They’re the absolute best. Thank you!
Marisa
A wonderful experience from start to finish. Martine was so kind, patient, and knowledgeable, giving me lots of helpful advice about keeping my cat, Zebel healthy. She made both of us feel completely at ease. The receptionist was lovely, and the little freebies for Zebel were such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for caring and professional veterinary care! 🐾

My little boy has recently been unwell and diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. From initial diagnostics to follow ups and subsequent issues from the medication the team at The Village Vet have been outstanding!
Their level of professionalism, knowledge, empathy and care towards their little patients is comforting as you know their hearts are where they need to be. I have booked my kitty in for the radioactive iodine (I-131) treatment with their guidance.
I wanted to extend a big thank you to the entire team for how well we have been looked after over the last few weeks. A special whisker and wet nose kiss to Giné, Belle, Elle and Taryn from Presley xx

I was recommended your services by a close friend and within our first appointment, I had more answers and information than I had managed to gather in the last year. The care by our vet and the rest of the team was amazing and I so glad to have found you!
Jacinta Mikus
The amazing Dr. Belle has saved our cat’s life. We actually got turned away from a different vet because we were late to our appointment (we were late… but it was also work traffic) and she was close to death. We waited a day and luckily brought Ulla to see Dr. Belle who immediately understood the severity of the situation and pushed for her admission to hospital. Since then she’s been with us every step of Ulla’s recovery. And it was clear by then that Ulla has been better treated and more cared for than I’ve ever been. I’d recommend the Village Vet Killara even if you didn’t have a pet.
10/10 Service. Wonderful people.

This team is so personable and genuinely caring. You are in tremendous hands at the Village Vet
David Bannister
I cannot recommend The Village Vet enough for anyone looking for a caring, professional, and trustworthy place for their pets.
They have been looking after my puppies so beautifully, and every visit has been such a positive experience. The environment is very warm, calm, clean, and welcoming, and all the staff are incredibly friendly, kind, and professional.
From the moment you walk in, you feel comfortable and confident that your pets are in safe hands. They genuinely care about animals and take the time to communicate properly, answer questions, and provide support whenever needed.
I also really appreciate their helpful reminders, follow-ups, newsletters, and updates, which show how organised and caring they are with pet care and customer service.
Thank you to the whole team for always making Dela and Dora feel loved and well looked after. Highly recommended!
Sarah Bost
Ladybird and I began attending the Village Vet at both its Killara and Pymble locations as we were unhappy at our previous Sydney based vet.
I was warmly greeted and extremely happy with the open and friendly service I received as well as the excellent care my anxious little Shih Tzu obtained for her many health needs.
As Ladybird and I had recently moved from the US it was important to me that we found not only excellent medical care for her , but a vet who would understand the nuances of a little dog who had traveled across half the world and had a history of being a stray with an unknown beginning , arriving in a country which felt so different to the one she had come from.
Dr Martine and her staff have always had time to listen and investigate the behavioural patterns that I described Ladybird exhibited , so that after 5 years as a little Aussie , Ladybird has blossomed into the happy little dog I adopted back in the US eight years ago.

We own an elderly sausage dog who has weekly visits to see the vets and vet nurses for fluids for his kidney failure and laser treatment for his back .
All the vets and nurses in both practices are outstanding with their care. knowledge and understanding and I have great trust in everyone to provide the right course of treatment for our little boy to make his life more comfortable

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend The Village Vet Pymble
The Village Vet Pymble is our new vet, and I couldn’t be happier after our first visit with my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Hunter.
Like all fur mums, I’m always anxious about whether my babies are truly in good hands.(We changed our vets) Hunter means the world to me, so trust and kindness matter just as much as medical care.
From the moment we arrived, Hunter was treated with such gentleness and respect. Dr Gene Torre was incredibly kind, patient, and thorough. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made both Hunter and me feel calm and supported. It honestly meant so much to see how genuinely caring she was with my boy.
I left feeling reassured, confident, and grateful that we’ve found a clinic where my dogs are not just treated as patients, but truly cared for.
Thank you to Dr Gene Torre and the team at The Village Vet Pymble for taking such beautiful care of Hunter. We’re so happy to have found you. 🐾💙

We moved from the USA to Australia last year and brought our two dogs with us, Aspen the lab and Bella the Cocker Spaniel. Both older dogs so I was so happy to find such wonderful care for them from the team at the Village Vet in Killara. Unfortunately Aspen was unwell this year and is no longer with us but the care and compassion shown by Dr Elle was exceptional. After Aspen passed I received the most beautiful note from Elle which I will keep always. I cannot recommend this clinic highly enough – from reception to the vet nurses to the Doctors. Thank you so much for helping us make the most of the last years of both our much loved family members.

Our dog Fernie is the biggest sook on the planet and tends to attract disaster. Needless to say we are extremely familiar with the wonderful team at The Village Vet. Fernie has had all manner of complications from a severed paw, chronic colitis, a large benign tumour removal on his front leg and testicular cancer as well as a number of other minor complaints. Every time we visit I know that he is going to receive the best care. Martine, Elle and every member of the team take the time to assess his needs and work out the best treatment plan for him. We don’t know how we would have coped with Fernie without the love and support of The Village Vet in both Pymble and Killara. We cannot recommend them highly enough. 🙏
Joanne Homeopath
Both my cat and dog receive their check-ups here, and the staff are truly wonderful! They genuinely love animals and are very patient in explaining the causes of my dog’s illness and the treatment process. They are also very responsible and respectful of pet owners’ opinions. I highly recommend this clinic and hope that more people and their pets can benefit from such a caring and professional place.

My dog tells me that this is the best local vet in the area. But seriously, they are a fantastic team of caring and trustworthy professionals who have been brilliant in the caring for my puppy. Highly recommended.
Napper Family
Martine and the team at Pymble Vet have been our local vet for about 15 years. They are the most loving and friendly team who honestly just adore every pet or injured wild animal that passes through their doors. Our beautiful Burmese cat, Mika loved all the girls and they all loved her back in return and cared for her like she was their own.
Over the years we have utilised their general and preventative health care, emergency care, cat boarding, at home services while we were away as well as end-of-life care for Mika, who we lost in July this year. Martine and the team were just amazing when it came to end-of-life care. They shared in our pain, were compassionate every step of the way and understood just how difficult it was to say goodbye to our girl. Gratefully, they took care of everything after she passed away.
We have two new Burmese kittens and they’ve just had their first visit to see Martine (and Taryn!). This first visit was so easy, we always trust in Martine’s advice, she’s such a wealth of knowledge and know our new girls, Mila and Luna will receive the best care.

Big Thank you to The Village Vet Killara for always looking after our little Pomie, always welcomed by the friendly staff and doctors make you feel at home on every visit.
D Hsu
I recently took my 7-month-old poodle to The Village Vet for desexing surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff were incredibly kind and professional, carefully explaining the procedure and options beforehand, answering all our questions, and putting our minds at ease.
On the day of the surgery, they kept us updated with calls, letting us know how everything was going. They also followed up the next day to check on our puppy’s recovery and provided helpful advice.
Our puppy recovered quickly, and one of the best parts was their recommendation of a post-surgery suit instead of the traditional Elizabethan collar. Since our pup was in between sizes for the collar—too small for one, too big for another—it kept slipping off or didn’t provide enough protection. The surgery suit, with its cross-back belts, worked perfectly! It kept her wound protected while still allowing her to move comfortably and go to the toilet as usual.
Such a great experience overall—caring staff, excellent communication, and great post-surgery care. Highly recommend The Village Vet!

Absolutely wonderful vet practice with lovely caring staff, fantastic communication and cured our beautiful Milly of her thyroid condition – highly recommended. Very grateful for the care given to our precious girl.
