We received amazing quality care when we recently had to euthanize our beloved pet cat.
Jen was so caring as were all the staff. They provided a lovely soft blanket for Ginge to lay on. And they gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye to our loving pet.
We received a lovely card and flower seeds in the post a week later extending their deepest sympathy.
Very professional and caring Vet Clinic.

The staff were lovely and very helpful. Unfortunately the prices are quite expensive. make sure you ask for pricing before booking.

Anyone who thinks guinea pigs are cute, fluffy, gentle creatures who eat grass all the time and don't do much else, hasn't met my Penny. She's the Warrior Queen of piggies and definitely NOT amused by being handled due to necessary medical treatments.

Maribyrnong Veterinary Centre was recommended to me by a pig-owning friend as a skilled and caring place for "exotics" which guinea pigs are classed as. And she was totally right.

We saw Danni the vet today with our injured pig who was in no mind to be medicated, injected or bandaged and the vet handled it all with care, an obvious knowledge and ease at working with guinea pigs and a caring attitude.

I would highly recommend this vet practise and am sure they would treat any animal with the same expertise. But finding a good "pig" person is a difficult job. Wonder how much she'd charge me for a house call to do the meds and follow up treatment at home on our sassy little girl? LOL

The surgery is along busy Rosamond Rd on the way to Highpoint shopping centre, so there's a lot of traffic but there is parking out the front or in a side street. Clean and spacious waiting room, and well-equipped consulting rooms. Hand sanitizer on the bench as you go out is a nice touch. There is also the safety feature of an internal "pool gate" safety fence so you can let your animal (dog) go for a minute without being worried they are going to escape out the door onto a busy road when someone else comes in - a good feature I haven't seen anywhere else.

Waiting time was very short and tests were done straight away, and treatment began immediately with some medication to take home. Very happy with all aspects of this business and will be returning at any time without hesitation with any of our other "piggy" problems.

Cost for consultation, injection, skin test and further medication was $96. Value of a person who really understands a guinea pig and can still like them when they are stroppy ... priceless.

Approximate cost: $96 for quite a few services.

I take both of my cats to this vet, not because it is local - far from it but because they are always friendly, helpful and were able to look after my cats in the way I would look after them.

I adore this vet clinic. After moving to this area trying to find a new vet, I firstly attended another local vet that seems to be so highly regarded on here. This was not the case for me, in my opinion. They recommended I put down my kitten without completing all the necessary x-rays etc and afterward, I found out from another vet in discussion that I most likely made the wrong decision. ANYWAY!! I stopped going to that vet immediately, and found Maribyrnong Vet. They are wonderful people there, the actual vet that sees my pets all the time is amazing and I am glad that I am a regular there now. They don't try to upsell products as another person has said, they recommended me what I really needed, and I gave the go ahead to get whatever else I thought I needed. Very happy!!

Absolutely agree with this. They do everything they need to for your pet's care, but they weren't pushing for us to have a return visit so they could get another fee, instead they said they would ring to check how our piggie was going.

I came in Maribyrnong Veterinary Clinic Animal Hospital on 01/11 to treat my cat (the problem was unknown). First of all it took them 3 day to find out that cat has urinary blockage.

This is a fantastic vetinary clinic. All the staff really care about my animals and have helped me through some difficult decisions with my dogs over the years. They were incredibly compassionate and thoughtful when I had to put down my little dog and I will always be thankful for that.

The vets and nurses at Maribyrnong Veterinary Clinic are wonderful and very helpful. We have been taking out pets to this vet clinic since it opened. Recently our dog of 16 years had to be euthanised due to arthritis and ill health (basically old age). The staff were very understanding and compassionate and did not rush us into any decisions at all. We could not have asked for friendly staff in such a trying situation for the family. 5 stars all the way!

We have been taking our pets here for their entire lives (4 years). They are all great vets. The nursing staff are great and most importantly our dog LOVES going there. Even after being desexed! They have a 24 hour on call service and nothing is ever too much trouble. We have also boarded our cats their when we've been on holidays.

My impression of the place was that the whole exercise of bring my pets in for treatment was more about selling me as many products and services as possible. I was charged a large pathology fee on top of the consultation fee because the vet spent 2 minutes using his microscope. Both the vet and the receptionist spent quite a lot of time trying to convince me to buy dog food from them, when I can buy the same brand for significantly less elsewhere. Many of the sales techniques were guilt based.

Approximate cost: $I spent a total of almost $300. I only had one pet with me and there wasn't anything major wrong wit
