Caring for St Ives & St Ives Chase Pets
Many St Ives families choose The Village Vet for our compassionate, modern veterinary care just a short drive away from your home.
As a proudly independent, family-owned clinic, every decision we make is based on what’s best for your pet: NOT CORPORATE POLICIES. We partner closely with your family, taking the time to explain, support and guide you through every stage of your pet’s life.
Our team is also Fear Free Certified, meaning we use gentle handling, calming techniques, and thoughtful clinic layouts to reduce fear, anxiety and stress. Even anxious dogs and cats feel more comfortable with our approach.
Whether your pet needs a routine check-up, advanced diagnostics, emergency care, or ongoing treatment, St Ives pet owners trust us because of our honesty, compassion and depth of expertise.
Expert Veterinary Care for St Ives & St Ives Chase
With Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park right on the doorstep, St Ives pets often face unique health challenges. These include paralysis ticks, snake encounters, grass seeds, seasonal allergies, mobility issues and injuries. As an experienced St Ives vet, we see these conditions regularly and are very comfortable managing both early signs and more serious cases. Our team tailors prevention, diagnostics and treatment plans to the local environment and seasonal patterns, so pets receive care that’s practical, proactive and genuinely suited to the North Shore lifestyle!
Proudly Supporting the St Ives Community
St Ives families are supported through our two nearby clinics in East Killara and West Pymble, both just a short drive away. Our East Killara clinic is typically around 5-10 minutes from St Ives, depending on location. A straightforward drive up Eastern Arterial Road that’s often quicker and easier than expected. Our West Pymble is approximately 10–12 minutes, depending on traffic.
For added convenience, we also operate our Mobile Vet service directly throughout St Ives, allowing us to provide high-quality veterinary care in the comfort of your own home for pets who find travel difficult or stressful.

What St Ives Pet Owners Are Saying
Hilary Gibietis
We cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful team at The Village Vet. Our Ruby has complex medical needs, and the care, compassion, and professionalism shown to her has been nothing short of outstanding.
In particular, Elle Burton Bradley, Taryn and Martine have been incredible – not only in the way they’ve looked after Ruby with such skill and kindness, but also in the way they’ve supported us as her owners through every step. Their patience, empathy, and dedication have given us enormous confidence and comfort, knowing Ruby is in the very best hands.
It’s rare to find such a combination of expertise and genuine care, and we are so grateful for all they continue to do.
Genevieve J
We are so grateful for the exceptional care our cat received from Elle the vet and the entire team. As new clients, we were truly touched by the genuine compassion and sensitivity shown to us during a stressful and uncertain time. Everyone we interacted with treated our boy with the same love and attention they would give their own pets. The kindness, professionalism, and empathy of the staff made all the difference. Thank you endlessly for everything.
David Bannister
This team is so personable and genuinely caring. You are in tremendous hands at the Village Vet
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.
Bec Mitchell
Martine and her team are simply the best vets in Sydney. From their level of care and empathy to their knowledge and application of that knowledge. There is simply not another vet I would take my animal to. My heartfelt thanks to you all. Bec and Louis.
Sarah Bost
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!
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! 💛🐾
Bronwyn
The staff were very caring, listened to my concerns about Oreo, and provided thorough information about his condition during his stay. I felt so reassured knowing he was receiving great care.
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.
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.
Hannah Mavrakis

Amanda
