| - I have a little shih Tzu pup that wasn't nearly as nervous as I was about taking him in for his shots. I had dogs in the past growing up but after moving out and living with my partner, it was our first time having our own dog. This meant training him, feeding him, taking him out on walks, and taking him to vets to make sure he's up to all his shots. I didn't know the first thing about what to look for in a quality animal clinic and what shots to request or anything.
I heard mixed reviews about Bathurst animal clinic but since the majority of the reviews on other sites were positive and it was really close to my house, I decided to book my pups' first vet visit.
I applied online and got a call right back from them confirming my appointment
When the appointment date came, we arrived a little too early but they were hospitable and so unbelievably friendly. Everyone from the lady at the front desk to the vet (dr. Natalie Paul) was all over my puppy (aka Batman!) and made my puppy feel right at home.
Despite how annoying I probably acted with my infinite common-sense type questions, they were so patient, informative and thorough. They definitely had my dogs' best interest in mind instead of pushing unnecessary costs & procedures onto me (I had a bad history with one vet before who just grabbed my brothers VERY SICK hedgehog, stared at it and said it was dying and if my brother wants, they can board him and look into it for $5K. I kid you not! Then while trying to bill me when I accepted, they just looked down at Sonic again and she put her finger on him for some seconds and bluntly said 'he's dead' and charged me. I obviously had a complex with Vets after that.. til nowwww)
They made sure my puppy and I were both good to go and booked the next appointment and to my utter relieve, the charges didn't break the bank *happy dance*.
Fast track a few weeks and my poor pup was throwing up. I called the clinic to see if I'd have to bring my puppy or if I could ask some questions over the phone. They were extremely helpful and were actually gonna call me to remind me of my next appointment.
This place is the bees knees and I swear I'm not 'planting' this review because I doubt anyone else in the world still says bees knees anymore.
