    Testimonials

     

    Phil, Mel and the team are just great! Very friendly and informative, they take the time to get to know you and your pet(s).

    They have been super accomodating when I was worried about my pup just before a weekend, got her in to get checked over and made more comfortable really quickly. And my elderly cat got lots of love and cuddles while he was in getting blood work done.

    Kate Driskell

    Very friendly staff. Looked after my fur baby and talked me through it, would highly recommend for anyone looking to take their pet to a vet.

    Brad Fryer

    Had my first appointment with my dog Tess at Your Family Vet today. The whole team were really friendly and welcoming. It was lovely to see some familiar faces back at this practice!! Philip was super and really thorough during the appointment. I would definitely recommend to anyone.
