Customer Testimonials

Our customers have never been healthier or happier.

Millie P
We have never had a bad experience at Mowbray vet. We have seen a range of vets at the practice and they have all been very caring and friendly and I never feel like they rush to the most expensive, intrusive treatments as the only option. They talk through all options and care plans and give space to make sure we understand, can ask questions and they listen to our concerns. Their level of care and inclusion of owners in the decision making process is why we keep going back, even though it is a bit of a drive. Easily the best practice I’ve been to and so glad we found them.
Linda Lawrance
I'm very happy that Mowbray Vet is my local vet. The staff, from reception through examination and health checks by knowledgeable and sympathetic vets, are friendly and efficient.
Braden H
The vet I saw was really nice and friendly with my 2 old dogs. Very empathetic and understanding with my 2 dogs nearing the end of their life. Vet nurses and reception were very friendly. There’s an off street car park and large waiting area so that your dogs can be socially distanced from the cats.
Emma O
Sally-Anne was great with our Bulldogs. Lovely manner and the whole team was friendly. Definitely recommend!
Banc D
Mowbray Vet Clinic were so so lovely with my two cats, Katniss and Primm.. They had their first vaccinations and microchip.. Both my girls were purring the whole time.. At ease and comfort.. I can't recall the ladies name.. But she had helped me with euthanasia for my old dog, Zac.. I requested her because of this.. She was so kind and comforting.. I want that for my animals.. The front receptionist ladies were so nice to talk to.. Easily providing quotes for spaying for the two cats.. I can't thank the practise enough.. Wish I had come here sooner.. Big love everyone..
Rob Basile
We have been travelling Australia for more than 2 years and have visited a few vets over that time,I have to say these guys would be up there with the best around the country Highly recommended very thorough and helpful Lucy is an amazing Vet
Dani Chirichiello
This clinic was able to fit my sick fur baby in without a scheduled appointment. The treatment was fully discussed with me and we agreed on a suitable approach. Not over the top and no pressure. Love these ladies - so professional.
Ken Martin
The staff at the Mowbray Veterinary Clinic are absolutely amazing! Without them this week I'm not sure we would still have our boy Sir without their help and support. The friendly smiles and hello from the reception staff make you feel at ease and comfortable as soon as you walk in the door. The vet nurses and vets are incredible at what they do and always leave you knowing your fur baby is in great hands and will be well looked after. A special mention to Dr Josh, you were not only professional, kind and caring but you went above and beyond for our boy and we will be forever grateful!
