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
Jacinta Mikus
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!
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.
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.
Coralie Schofield
Since we got a puppy 3.5yrs ago we have always visited the Village Vet. We really appreciate the genuine care, the follow up after an incident/illness & being able to pay the gap only is a bonus. The staff from reception to nurses and vets can’t be faulted for their individual interest, care, professionalism and knowledge. 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.
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.
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!
Georgina Llanes
I’ve been a client since Martine started. I should mention that I was a groomer at a prestigious vet hospital in the area and still preferred Pymble Vet. They are honest and caring do not over diagnose their clients. Explain their condition and give you options. A great vet practice that really care for their patients and owners. Only wish there were more like them in the industry.
Kel R
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.
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. 🙏
John
It’s always a great experience at The Village Vet in Pymble. Every staff member is so warm and friendly. My puppy Angel gets nervous at first, but always leaves with her tail wagging.
