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
Anja
Not only is the care and treatment provided on the day at The Village Vet always exceptional, the after care is amazing too. There’s always a text message or phone call to see how my dogs are doing post treatment.
Kel R
Great vets with wonderful support and service. My dog and cats don’t fear going – in fact they love it. Every staff member I’ve interacted with is helpful and happy. The locations is great, easy parking and access.
Paul Gilbertson
Our two Burmese kittens had a bad bout of diarrhoea and one wasn’t responding to the treatment. Dr Josie was in charge and worked really hard to find the underlying cause. She did find it and even after it was clear that the treatment was working she would ring every day to check up on our little Kira. It was very clear that she cared, as well as being a very good vet. It was also clear that the wider team was working with Josie to discover the problem. Once again 5 stars for the Village Vet team.
Richard Wickman
The best experience I’ve ever had at a vet. They are incredibly helpful, kind, patient & clear about everything. Will definitely be back in the future; thank you all !
Cat K
Amazing 😻 vet. They are thorough and practical. My cat who hates going to the vet was cuddling with the vet by the end of the session.
Emily Tye
Great vet clinic for my cat, the vets and nurses are so caring and the reception team are so warm and welcoming. 10/10 recommend, your pets will agree!
Roger Mortimer
We recently moved our Ollie to the Village Vet Killara and were very impressed with how quickly Dr Belle helped Ollie with his skin challenges. We found Belle to be very caring and professional and focussed on solving Ollie’s ailments. We highly recommend Dr Belle and the Village Vet.
Janine Jones
Friendly, caring and professional staff in a calm environment. Martine and the team have always been genuinely concerned about the happiness and health of our dog Ted, who loves visiting the practice at Pymble because he knows he is going to get so much attention and affection (and treats!) from the minute he bounds through the door….
Qun Liu
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!
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.
Andrew Miller
We’re so grateful to The Village Pymble Vet for their care and compassion during our beloved dog Dyson’s final days. Dr Anabel Thomas was incredibly kind, empathetic, and professional — her clear communication and gentle support meant the world to us. Thank you, Dr Thomas, and the entire team. You are a true credit to your profession.
David Bannister
This team is so personable and genuinely caring. You are in tremendous hands at the Village Vet
