Pets are like children. No...seriously…read more... As a young cat lady, dog lady, budgie lady and fish lady growing up I went through many a vet clinic with one or multiple pets. But like a good doctor, you end up finding a favourite and sticking with them. Unley Vet is such a place. As my childhood friends (and pseudo brothers and sisters to said only child) began to get a lot older and more decrepid, we would rely on the caring and loving nature of the local female vets at this clinic. They would always provide a range of care options and were so knowledgeable about everything that was going on with our (what felt like) 100 year old cats and dogs that we knew we could trust leaving them over night or staying there in their care. Fast forward 12 years on and there was no question where I would take my little baby (kitten) for his first vaccinations and care. The service is still just as friendly, they get excited by your pet's name, let alone their personality, and have even sent us additional "your first kitten" information since we went there. Prices are reasonable and advice is non-bias and brief but they always have time for you to answer more questions or are happy to send out more information. If only Dr Harry or the Bondi Vet worked here...

Pet Pampering! Not…read moremany businesses in the service industry are fee free for no service however my outstanding local vet is. However I guess if you're at the vet with your adorable pet you are most likely in need of some professional assistance! We have been frequenting Unley Vet for many years with an assortment of dogs and cats in their latter years and all the vets there have been absolutely invaluable and supportive in their care and advice. They truly love animals and treat yours as if they are the most gorgeous and beautiful in the world (which of course they are)! Our current cat was a foundling abandoned on their doorstep at 2 weeks old who they hand reared and named until we could take him home so Unley Veterinary Surgery holds a special place in our hearts however I can unbiasedly endorse their professional approach and care. And if you're looking for a general check-up for your special pooch or feline and they are in tip top shape there is no charge!! A bonus just to know they are A-ok!

There's obviously a demand for their services as they have been around for many years. Much like a puppy party service where all the smaller breeds of dogs can get together and socialise, no big breeds allowed. They can romp around all day long and maybe meet the love of their life, let's just hope there's no hanky panky! For the pet minding they charge $45 for the day or $10 per hour and there are other package deals available. Everything in store is labelled as designer' wear from the clothing to dog bowls, accessories, toys, bedding plus more and even the food would you believe. Pampering zone involves not only bathing but painting their nails, colouring the hair (for fun apparently), and get this 'mud baths' ! What the!! I suppose if I had a small dog and sometimes I wish I could shrink my GS to fit into my handbag, I may consider doing the same. But hey, if you're someone who doesn't have kids or grandkids or care for dogs more than little people then this may be just for you and your furry family. As a note there is parking around the back which is handy and much safer.

This is not a pet shelter as in rescued pets. This is a rare facility and service, and not for…read moreeveryone, but definitely well supported and loved by a particular elite breed of canine. Dog City Day Care is for those dogs who require a life less idle; dogs who are looking to occupy their minds while their master is at work. Dogs who do not wish to spend day in and day out sitting around the home with nothing to do. They require companionship and another bottom to sniff besides their own. If you have a dog who doesn't like to be left home, this day care facility for dogs is really very good. It gives your canine friend a pack to run and play with as well as a present and accountable human being who acts as the top dog for the whole time your pooch is placed here. This top dog human means no fights break out because there is always a masterful guiding voice keeping tabs on who is doing what to whom. It really is a great service if you don't want to leave the dog home every day but have a busy life and can not find the time to keep your precious pooch as pampered and busy as yourself. Let's say you own a big dog that needs a lot of exercise, but you also have a demanding job that sees you at work almost twenty four seven some times. What happens to the dog? Well it may get bored and start to behave badly as a result - but if you drop it off at Dogcity Daycare it will be busy socialising with other dogs. You can purchase a range of items for your dog when you drop them off or pick them up from their day of socialising and stimulating interplay - things like chews and pigs ears... and the friendly staff will let you know if your best friend has behaved well - which of course under the circumstances he or she probably has. It is a terrific service for the right owners and dogs.

Being the overly loving parent of a furfriend, I admit that I like to make sure Harold's (my…read moregorgeous British Bulldog) life is full of as much fun and love as possible...and then I heard about Doggy Daycare...Yes some think this is a little over the top however I thought I wouldn't live up to my reputation of "crazy dog lady" if I didn't give it a go! And the experience I had was amazing! Dropping Harold off to the care of strangers is a little nerve-racking as Bulldogs have special needs, however the friendly team at Dogcity let me know that he was in safe hands and that I would receive updates during the day, reassured, I left feeling confidant Harold was going to have a great day! The energy and excitement in the centre was amazing, you could really tell that these people love what they do. Before I left for work, I had a look through the viewing window and Harold was already running a muck with his new friends. The thing that took this experience from good to brilliant, was the level of personalised communication I received. During the day, "Harold" sent me a text message with some photos of his new friends (who knew dogs had such skills!): Hi Mum, My new friends have let me borrow the work phone so that I could send you a message; I told them that I'm fine and would rather keep playing, but they've said that it's always important to let Mum's know. Apparently you guys worry about us or something. I'm having the best time. Heston is here and we've both been body slamming. They have a bunch of tennis balls here too, so I've been slobbering over all of those and carrying them around. There are two Huskies, Ace and TJ, who like playing with tennis balls also, so we've been having a great time together. I hope you're having a good day, but I doubt it's as fun as mine - ha! See you later, Love Harold The communication didn't stop there, the team at Dogcity also sent me an extensive "First Day Pawgress Report" When I went to pick Harold up, he was one pooped out pup! The owner took the time to have a chat and let me know how Harold went during the day. Overall, there are a few things that made this experience one that truly stand out, these people LOVE what they do and they make their customers feel so valued with the personalised communication. It's safe to say we will be back!

Dr. Ritchie gave me a quote cheaper than other places and assured me that he had done this surgery. What he did not mention was he had not performed this on a cat before. After many weeks of paying Grange vet for check-ups, when it was finished, my cat could no longer even limp and the Dr. mentioned that he could euthanise the cat, as any further surgery would not work and my cat would never walk without sever pain again. I later found out that he had drilled a placement pin THROUGH the bone, not just into it, which was obviously a mistake that contributed to this. I then went to a specialist vet that cost me double what the initial surgery did, however he managed to fix what I was told could not be fixed, and I also found out that Dr. Ritchie refers patients to the specialist normally when he is out of his depth. At least my cat is back to his happy self and mobile again. When asked, Dr. Ritchie refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing on his part, and now I have to take him to court to get the thousands of dollars back from his egregious malpractice.

I'm sure at the end of the day having to move everything back inside they have to quickly lean against the door with their backs hard against it and lock it before it explodes out!

They do sell puppies, which I personally don't agree on any pet shop doing as breeder direct is better, but anyway. The owner and staff are friendly enough and certainly know their products and what can help with a minor ailment, otherwise it's a trip to the vet down the road. Besides dogs, they also have fish for sale. They also run an engraving service to personalise your pets name tag.

They also have a massive range of fish for sale, which my niece makes a beeline for every time we visit, as well as puppies and kittens every now and then. They're friendly and welcoming, and you WILL need to keep your eyes peeled for the pastel pink fluffy chicken that pecks around like it owns the place. Which it might.... And there's usually a huge parrot and a few birds on stands around the store too, which aren't for sale but just do their thing.
