I cannot recommend Pittwater Animal Hospital, highly enough. They treated my pet & I as though we were family, from the initial visit. Communication is transparent, thoughtful & compassionate. All costs are explained upfront, with no hidden surprises! Thank you PAH!!

Hey, very lucky. First time I've had a pet in a long time. These guys are just around the corner from me. Every little unnecessary problem I've had, they are there 100%.Very kindly, they've only charged a fee when there was actually an issue with my dog.Professional, kind and dedicated.I highly recommend these guys.

Fantastic Vet! Caring, informative and conscientious of all of our concerns and requirements. They have looked after our birds and dog for many years and have always been excellent.

Best vets and practice around. We switched from another vet & the difference is incredible. These guys go out of their way to see us, make our very nervous dog feel comfortable and reduce necessary interventions. They are wonderful!

Everyone at Pittwater Vet & Animal Hospital are so incredibly kind, helpful and have a genuine concern for your beloved pets. On the occasions my rabbits have been critically ill they've taken great care nursing them back to care and when I took her home they called to check how they were and always take my questions over the phoneI see Dr Juliette and Hydie look after my rabbits, they are amazing!

We have been taking our dog Maple to Pittwater Animal Hospital since we first adopted her in 2021. Maple has quite a few behavioural issues and reactivity so we really wanted to find a vet that understood her situation. We've seen several different vets at Pittwater Animal Hospital and every single one, including all the vet nurses, have been so patient, understanding and kind. It's made all of our visits much less stressful! We also recently had her teeth cleaned which meant that we had to leave Maple at the vet for a few hours without being there with her. Even though she has separation anxiety, the team knew exactly how to handle it to keep her comfortable and stress-free and it all went without a hitch. We wouldn't trust any other vet hospital with out sweet (but troubled) girl! Thanks Pittwater Animal Hospital team :)

PAH has been looking after our Cavoodle Beau for nearly 8 years and we have found all the Vets and staff to be friendly, caring and professional.

1695646689

So glad we found Pittwater Animal Hospital. We tried 3 other vets first and my dog was always very stressed. From the first visit to Dr Heidi Furber he was much happier and it has made going to the vet lots easier. He just had a small surgery and we got to go over all the details and ask questions when we dropped him off. He came home and was back to himself the next day. I highly recommend PAH.

We love bringing our dog in when needed, the vets and nurses are always amazing at their jobs (and very gentle and understanding)! Reception are always so helpful as well, and very kind.We’ve been to a few vets around the area and this one we loved the most!We unfortunately had to say goodbye to our other dog a few months ago and Pittwater Vet were so amazing throughout the process. They made him feel comfortable and at ease, and also supported us, allowing us to be by his side until his time.A vet we will definitely continue to go to!

1685424419

A truly fabulous vet clinic that I trust 110%. Over time I've seen a variety of veterinarians here and they have all been professional, knowledgeable, interested and caring. I highly recommend Eamon, who is always scientific in his analysis and gentle with Smokey Joe - my feline fur baby!

We have been with Pittwater Animal Hospital for more than 45 years and 8 of our beloved pets have thoroughly enjoyed attending appointments. Each time we get close to the vet they all without exception get excited, jump out of the car, tails wagging, bouncing up the steps to see all the wonderful reception girls and the vets themselves. Our pets have included Samoyeds, ChowChow, Border Collies and West Highland Terriers. The services offered have been extended over the years, but in every case the welfare of our dogs has been their priority. We have watched this group of vets come as newcomers but stay to become part of our family. Thank you all for the wonderful care. Di and Brian Cross

Our little dog Bonnie with 'special needs' has been attending Pittwater Animal Hospital for the past 7 years. The entire staff are warm, caring and professional and are committed to making the vet experience pleasant for all.We don't hesitate to recommend Pittwater Animal Hospital for all your pet needs.

Words cannot begin to express how grateful we are for Pittwater Animal Hospital. They went above and beyond to save our 1yo cat's life after he ingested around 1.5m of string. A very special mention to Heidi for staying back after all her appointments to operate and then spend her evening sitting on the floor with us waiting for him to wake up. To Jill and Renee, we apologise for our panicked and frequent phone calls trying to get him in for the surgery. We would like to thank every single staff member at Pittwater Animal Hospital, all the staff are the most caring and welcoming people we have met. They truly care about every animal that walks in and their post surgery follow ups and check ins have been so reassuring and comforting. My family has been coming to the practice for years and whilst I am no longer local to the Beaches, it is 100% worth my journey to continue to use Pittwater Animal Hospital. Once again THANK YOU! You are all angels for saving our Moo!

We recently moved our 3 cats to Pittwater Animal Hospital from another local vet. Two of our cats had dental work including removal of teeth. At all times we found the vets and staff to be professional and caring. They were significantly less in price than our previous vets and will have our business ongoing.

Our Miss Molly had surgery recently at Pittwater Animal Hospital and we can highly recommend their service. Molly was well looked after and her surgery has been a great success. Thank you to all the team and especially Jill.

Could not speak more highly about the team at Pittwater Animal Hospital. They are all kind and patient and go above and beyond to make sure both you and your pet are comfortable and taken care of. I have a puppy who gets anxious at the vet and any time he goes in they do everything they can to make it as easy and stress free as possible.

1654835406

My beautiful Jessie had her spleen removed last Friday by Dr Eamon and the empathy and compassion shown by him and all the vets has been outstanding. The outcome may not be what I wanted to hear but the support shown has been absolutely heartwarming.

1652831905

I couldn't be happier with the care and dedication shown by the team at Pittwater Animal Hospital. I am new to their services and know that these guys are now my permanent vets. Both my dogs needed a hefty surgery each and both of them were treated with the utmost care, knowledge and consideration. The after care is the best I have seen on the Beaches too. Thank you for keeping my fur kids healthy and safe.

Having owned animals for 32 years I can tell you this is the best animal hospital/vet in NSW hands down. Amazing staff, fantastic advice (from Renee) and animal caring people (obviously)

1645612802

My regular vet for years. Trusted and solid. Honest with a great ‘bedside manner’. Also competitive pricing compared to other vets in the area. 👍👍

1632455998

Just the most amazing, professional and caring place to take your beloved furry friend! Thanks to Eamon and his wonderful team for everything you've done for Kira, our 16 year old dog who had a tumour removed and bounced back from the operation better than ever!

Pittwater Animal Hospital nurses always greet you with a smiling face and Jill performed surgery on Dingo, our beautiful kelpie last week. Professional care was given even when Dingo still managed to pull his stitches out wearing a cone! He was seen promptly and given some staples to hold the wound together with a bigger cone.

PAH is an extremely professional Vet Practice. We have so much confidence in their team of experts. We always know our pet will be very well cared for by lovely staff and in a caring environment.

1629679902

I use Pittwater Animal Hospital for the care of my cat and dog. They are always so friendly. More importantly, they are kind, gentle and caring with my babies. They give good treatment advice, and in spite of COVID, are always very responsive. They even file my pet insurance claims for me. I am very grateful for the care they give my cat and dog, and would highly recommend them.

1629266539

Fantastic service by Dr Lisa on Sunday, my dog Silky had a problem with his ear & skin and wouldn't stop scratching. Dr Lisa took great care of him and sorted him out, taking care of his itchy skin and ear problems. I couldn't recommend them more, really appreciated the care and attention.

Despite not being able to attend puppy school in person, the zoom version was still extremely informative.Louise has tips for every issue your puppy can have, even demonstrates with her own dogs at times.Puppies can practise the training at home and Louise can check and there are lots of useful videos provided that you can watch.Definitely recommend.

1626392975

Amazing vets. Have been taking my beloved fur babies to Pittwater Animal Hospital for 20+ years and have nothing but high praise for all of the staff. They are caring and compassionate no matter what the circumstances

Couldnt ask for more trust worthy and caring crew for my babies

1623919884

We have just completed the four week puppy school training and I can’t recommend it enough. Louise the trainer is knowledgeable, experienced, warm hearted and clearly LOVES dogs! She makes the training interesting for both the puppy and the owners and seems to have the answers to all manner of puppy “problems”.....sleeping through the night, toilet training, chewing, to name a few. She has sensible advice and strategies and explains things very clearly so as not to overwhelm either the puppy or owner! We are looking forward to the introduction of a teenage course for our puppy and will definitely be back for more. A wonderful service. Thank you Louise and Pittwater Animal Hospital. Amber and Grant Higgins

Very friendly as you walked in. Heidi was very helpful and happy to answer any questions and didn’t rush my appointment. Overall l was very happy with Montes and my experience. Would definitely go back.

1621038971

Our family has been clients of this practice for over 40 years, taking 9 dogs to them over those years. Service and care has been exceptional as the owners and staff are the ones looking after our pets. As we approach the vet, every dog we have owned immediately becomes animated and excited to be visiting a friend and happy place. When it has been time to say goodbye to one of our doggy family, a staff member has visited our home and in the company of the entire family has allowed us to participate in this sad event. We will miss everyone when the time comes and we can longer care for a dog as we grow older. Thank you all.
