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.

Lani
Thank you for fitting Louie in so quickly with a same-day appointment. We were so happy with Elle’s service and attention to detail—she was amazing!
TRACEY LEE
My elderly cat is 19 years old and has serious heart and kidney health issues. I have taken my cat to this clinic multiple times, and honestly, the service from all the staff is truly five-star. Their love and care for the animals, along with their attention to detail, have deeply touched me. With their help, my cat is getting better every day. Thank you so much!

Napper Family
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.
Mimi
Buddy absolutely loves going to the vet. He pulls towards it to go in every time we walk near the shops! All the staff are so welcoming and gentle. The are also always very upfront with their estimates, and provide a range of options at various price points where possible.
Amanda Dynon
I can’t recommend Pymble and Killara Vets more Highly. The care they have given to both our Boxer, and Frenchie from mild illness, injuries, through to major illness has been exceptional. During and after care is amazing. Martine and her whole team are to be commended.
David Bannister
This team is so personable and genuinely caring. You are in tremendous hands at the Village Vet
Buddstopher Crudd
I recently took Nashi my puppy to The Village Vet Team for a consultation, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the care and service we received. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely caring about my dog’s well-being. The receptionist greeted us with a warm smile and made the check-in process smooth and easy.
What really stood out during our visit was how professional and calm the staff remained, despite a neighborhood emergency happening that day. While there was a lot of hustle and bustle in the clinic, the staff handled everything seamlessly. They made sure all patients were attended to with the same level of care and attention, and it was evident that they were working under pressure, yet still provided top-notch service.
The clinic itself was clean, bright, and well-organized, with a calming atmosphere. It was clear that the staff values the comfort and health of their patients, which put me at ease as a pet parent.
Overall, I’m so happy with the care my dog received and will definitely be returning for future visits. If you’re looking for a compassionate, professional, and warm environment for your pet, I highly recommend The Village Vet Team. Thank you to the whole team for making Nashi and my visit such a positive experience!
Jane
I would highly recommend The Village Vet for all your veterinary needs. The care we’ve received for Rocky and Sunny has always been exceptional.
Susan
I really appreciated how friendly the staff were and the lovely rapport between the vet, our cat, and us. It made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal.
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.
Rachel Diaco
Very friendly staff and professional service. The Village Vet Pymble team are compassionate and very helpful. They willingly answered the long list of my questions and they also helped me after our visit answering more questions of mine. They advised me about the setup of my puppy’s playpen which was extremely helpful and helped me and my puppy to sleep throughout the night. Thank you! Strongly recommended for the first time puppy owners.
