Prescriptions and Medications

Safe, effective, and tailored medications for your pet’s health and wellbeing.

At The Village Vet, we provide veterinary prescriptions and medications for dogs and cats across Sydney’s North Shore, from our Pymble and Killara clinics.

Whether your pet needs treatment for an illness, long-term medication for a chronic condition, or preventative care, our team ensures every prescription is carefully selected, safe, and tailored to your pet’s individual needs.

We source all medications from trusted veterinary pharmaceutical suppliers, ensuring quality, safety, and effectiveness in every treatment.

Veterinary prescriptions you can trust

Many pet medications require a veterinary prescription to ensure they are safe and appropriate.

Before prescribing, we consider:

your pet’s condition
weight and breed
medical history
current medications

This allows us to select the most effective treatment while minimising risks and side effects.

Responsible use of medications

At The Village Vet, we follow strict guidelines when prescribing and dispensing medications.

We ensure:

correct dosage and duration
appropriate medication selection
clear instructions for use

We also take the time to explain:

how to give the medication
what to expect
any potential side effects

So you feel confident managing your pet’s treatment at home.

Long-term medication and monitoring

For pets with ongoing conditions such as:

arthritis
thyroid disease
chronic skin conditions
heart or kidney disease

We create a tailored medication and monitoring plan.

This often includes:

regular check-ups
dosage adjustments
ongoing assessment of your pet’s response

This ensures treatment remains safe, effective, and appropriate over time.

Our approach to antibiotic use

We are committed to responsible prescribing and antimicrobial stewardship.

This means:

prescribing antibiotics only when necessary
choosing the most appropriate treatment
focusing on prevention where possible

Careful use of medications helps protect their effectiveness for future pets and people.

What Pet Owners Say

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.

Blake Haymen

Thank you to the incredible team at The Village Vet Pymble.
Both of our dogs have visited several of the lovely vet staff over the years but I’d like to send an extra special thank you to Elle.
She has been absolutely incredible with her kind, thoughtful & expert approach to managing the needs of both of our dogs but in particular our gorgeous 15 1/2 year old Bonnie in recent times.
Going above & beyond one afternoon when she should’ve been going home meant the world to us & I believe gave us more time with her.
I’d like to thank Elle for her genuine compassion for not only Bonnie but also our family. You definitely get to see us when we are most vulnerable & you managed it beautifully.
Your follow up after her passing & on-going advice for Max’s welfare is much appreciated.
Thank you again, we are truly grateful.

Shelley

Great vet. Friendly knowledgable staff. Good response times.

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.

Tn T.

A lovely, safe and comfortable environment for my two little doggies. We are always made to feel welcome and well looked after upon every visit. A pleasure to deal with.

Mara Spessot

Love the feeling of joining an extended family who remembers your name, your pet’s name and cares. Such a friendly local practice and vibe.

David Bradbury

Wonderful people! My cat was in there for a week for treatment and I got a text message EVERY day with an update. Plus they sent me a picture. They did not need to do that and it completely put my mind at ease.
Exceptional experience.

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!

Gladys Wilkins

Martine and the team at Pymble Vet have been our local vet for about 15 years. They are the most loving and friendly team who honestly just adore every pet or injured wild animal that passes through their doors. Our beautiful Burmese cat, Mika loved all the girls and they all loved her back in return and cared for her like she was their own.

Over the years we have utilised their general and preventative health care, emergency care, cat boarding, at home services while we were away as well as end-of-life care for Mika, who we lost in July this year. Martine and the team were just amazing when it came to end-of-life care. They shared in our pain, were compassionate every step of the way and understood just how difficult it was to say goodbye to our girl. Gratefully, they took care of everything after she passed away.

We have two new Burmese kittens and they’ve just had their first visit to see Martine (and Taryn!). This first visit was so easy, we always trust in Martine’s advice, she’s such a wealth of knowledge and know our new girls, Mila and Luna will receive the best care.

Anne

Wonderful team of vets, nurses and admin staff. They’ve looked after our two dogs and two cats with genuine, deep care, and sound and pragmatic advice, for many years. They always go above and beyond, providing support and wisdom.

Peter Torok

A great group of people
A very friendly and helpful team
Always caring for our pets and us their owners as well
Always on the ball with reminders and checkups
We are so happy to have them as our vet

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

Frequently Asked Questions About Prescriptions and Medications

Why does my pet need a prescription from a vet?

Many pet medications are regulated and require a veterinary prescription to ensure they are safe, appropriate, and correctly dosed for your pet.

Can I get my pet’s medication directly from the vet?

Yes. We stock a wide range of veterinary medications in-clinic and can dispense them once your pet has been examined.

Do I need an appointment for a prescription?

In most cases, yes. Your pet needs a recent health check to ensure the medication is still safe and appropriate.

Can I get a repeat prescription for my pet?

Yes, for ongoing medications. However, regular check-ups are usually required to monitor your pet’s health and adjust treatment if needed.

How often does my pet need to be checked for long-term medication?

This depends on the condition, but most pets require monitoring every 6–12 months to ensure treatment remains safe and effective.

What if my pet has side effects from medication?

If you notice any changes or side effects, contact us as soon as possible so we can adjust the treatment plan if needed.
