Trusted Veterinary Care for Willoughby Pets
A Veterinary Team Built on Genuine Connection, Not Corporate Targets
As an experienced Willoughby vet, we’re proud to care for pets and their families through an approach built on genuine relationships, trust, and personalised care. As a family-owned, independent veterinary practice, we’re NOT driven by corporate policies, sales targets, or one-size-fits-all treatment plans.
Instead, we take the time to truly get to know you, your pet, and what matters most to your family. Every recommendation is guided by thoughtful clinical judgement, open communication, and a clear focus on your pet’s long-term health and wellbeing. Whether your pet is visiting us for routine care or more complex medical support, you’ll be supported by a team that listens, explains options clearly, and partners with you every step of the way.
Many Willoughby families visit our East Killara clinic (around a 10-minute drive), while others choose our Pymble clinic or enjoy the convenience of our mobile vet service operating directly in Willoughby, allowing care to happen comfortably at home.
Award-Winning Veterinary Care, Delivered with Continuity and Care
One of the biggest reasons Willoughby families choose The Village Vet is our continuity of care. We don’t rotate unfamiliar faces or rush appointments. Instead, we build lasting relationships, so your pet is genuinely known by the team caring for them. Their history, temperament, and long-term health needs are never overlooked.
Willoughby is known for its leafy streets, welcoming neighbourhoods, and beautiful outdoor spaces. Many local dogs enjoy regular walks along Flat Rock Gully Walking Track and the surrounding bushland, while cats often split their time between home life and garden adventures. Our veterinary care is always tailored to how your pet actually lives. Practical, preventative, and focused on supporting long-term wellbeing, not just treating problems as they arise.

What Willoughby Pet Owners Are Saying
David Han
I can’t recommend Martine and her veterinary team highly enough! From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that they are genuinely passionate about the health and well-being of your pet. Their knowledge and expertise is exceptional—they take the time to be thorough and ensure every concern is addressed with care and professionalism.
Their state-of-the-art facilities complement their exceptional veterinary skills to provide top-tier treatment. The entire team always goes above and beyond to make sure your furry friend receives the best possible care. I also love that they participate in sustainable initiatives to help protect the environment :)
If you want a veterinary team that treats your pet like family and delivers outstanding care every step of the way, Martine and her team are simply the best!
Joanne Homeopath
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. 🙏
Jennifer Horne
We have been seeing Dr Martine and her team for over 10 years and would never go anywhere else. The wealth of knowledge the team has regarding diseases, diagnoses, treatment and treatment options, and prevention is second to none. The professionalism of the entire team, mixed with genuine care and affection for not only the patient but also the patient’s owners is present at every consultation. Knowing also that the latest medical equipment for diagnosis and treatment is on hand is very reassuring. Finally the monthly newsletter is a wealth of information and often a pertinent reminder of seasonal health issues such as tick season. If you are looking for a caring, highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable vet team look no further than The Village Vet.

My dog Willow loves coming—and so do I! The whole team is so caring, and it really shows. I always feel like we’re in safe hands.
Jae Yun Park
I’m so happy with the team at The Village Vet Pymble!
Everyone there is genuinely lovely — warm, reassuring, and clearly passionate about animals. They always take such great care of my pets and make us both feel welcome every time we visit.
The vets explain things in a really easy, helpful way, and the nurses and reception team are always kind, patient, and ready with a smile. It honestly feels like visiting friends who just happen to be amazing at looking after animals.
Couldn’t ask for a better vet clinic. Highly recommend them! 💛🐾
Liewellyn
Elle and the rest of the staff were incredibly kind and gentle with my injured cat, determining the issue and laying out an easy to follow plan with next steps based on differing scenarios. Been going here for years with all my animals and will continue to do so
Hannah Mavrakis

Marisa
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!
Linda Hamilton
I have been going to this vet for 6 years, and they have really looked after my very active boxer who has managed to injure herself on numerous occasions. They are very loving with the animals as well as providing excellent care and knowing when to get specialists involved for the best result for your pet. My boxer still loves going there even after many injections, stitches and poking and prodding.
James French
Have been using Pymble Veterinary Clinic for many years, all my dogs have been looked after by the team here, and even though I have moved further away, I still take my dog here. The staff are great, have the utmost respect for them.
Would not go anywhere else.
Maryam Scott
Such a fabulous Veterinary Clinic, I’ve met 5 of the Vets so far + 3 of the reception staff over the few weeks,( had a puppy spayed ,so multiple visits), very impressed how each take time to explain, and reassure all my concerns.
