They have great opening hours until 7pm -which is good if you work. We managed to get him the same day and received top knotch service from the vets.... Very caring and knowledgeable!

Fantastic service, great with animals and the best of all great prices. I would definitely…read morerecommend this Vet. Place isn't fancy, but who wants to pay for a vet surgery's renovation bill :)

I cannot commend Southern Animal Hospital enough at their care and consideration with all issues we…read morehave had with our animals. Whether we take in a chicken or a dog they care for always care for them to very high standards. Their empathy with what animal owners are going through when they have a sick animal is second to none. We had to have a very special bunny rabbit put down a little while ago. It was a very distressing thing especially for my partner and children. However even my tough exterior broke down when I received a lovely sympathy card from the vet a day or two later, been sent in the post, handwritten and all, offering their condolences on the difficult decision we had to make and the passing of our rabbit. Their staff show levels of compassion above all other veterinarians I have visited, they know our pet is a part of our family and treat them as such. They also have extended open hours(only close on Xmas Day) and are GREAT in emergencies! My neighbour says the one at Hackham is cheaper but it is not too expensive here and the care they provide is fantastic. I don't want to take the risk of changing just to save a few dollars.

My dog needed to be admitted overnight but we received a couple of phone calls while she was there giving us updates on how she was doing. Happy to discuss our options and go along with our choices. Once our pup was home, we again got a phone call two days later to make sure she was going ok. Very happy with our experience at Southern Animal Hospital - I think we've found our new vet!

Bought him back for 3 further check ups where they didn't charge me for consult, just the medication! Couldn't believe it! Was very impressed with this as usually there's only 1 free follow up post op consult - not 2 more! Really happy with them.

Our dogs are excited to go in when we pull up into the carpark and love their visit (and especially when they get a treat for being good). We have never had excessive treatments recommended like we have at other vets but they will always offer to investigate if we are nervous or unsure for our own peace of mind. 100% recommend

I've been to a lot of vets, and am so glad I finally tried this one. The staff are incredibly nice…read moreand helpful. We see Dr Anna Potts who has offered great, affordable treatment options for my dog's anxiety and my other dog's dry eye issues. Consultation and vaccination rates also seem to be more affordable than the other vets I've used. Thanks Brighton Vet!

One of the most important things about owning a pet is finding a great Vet. I constantly get asked…read morewhere do I take my dogs and cat for check ups. I guess it is just like trying to find yourself the best GP. Over the years I have been to many Vet's and I have had lots of positive and negative experiences. I was finally given a recommendation for Blackwood Vets. This was possibly the best recommendation I could have ever asked for. Blackwood Vets have gone above and beyond for my dog. Sometimes emergencies happen. Let's face it, we can only communicate so much to our animals and we do try to avoid problems. But, they sometimes get themselves in silly situations, like my dog Igor. One day he decided that a large rubber toy was food. Unfortunately after eating it, it got stuck in his intestine and blocked it up. We rushed him to the Vet after noticing he was sick and would not eat. After some x-rays and careful observations the Vet said it was best to operate to remove the obstruction. The vet removed the toy and some of his lower intestine. They talked us through each step and not only looked after my lil' guy, but also looked after us after being quite distressed with the whole situation. Igor was nursed back to health and made friends with the whole veterinary team. They even called me late evening to check how he and we were doing post surgery. They took such amazing care of him and treated him as if he was their own pet. My lil' buddy Igor is in full health now and looks forward to see them all when he returns for his check ups. I am so dedicated to this Vet, that I travel quite far now to get to them. I do not mind a drive if it means that my animals receive the best health care. I recommend this Vet to any and everyone! If I could give them 20 stars I would! ;D

We had our first and last dealing here with Mary Ann. She is by far the most dedicated, lovely vet…read moreI've ever met. It always felt like you were valued and special here, not like you're a meal ticket or just part of the production line. Blackwood Vets saved my dog from a spider bite when our local vet refused to even consider her symptoms and the nasty looking lump on her could be related. She was a nervous girl, so took many many visits before accepting a liver treat from Mary Ann, but eventually she did. Yesterday my lovely girl passed away in our arms at home. The night before, she was on a drip at Blackwood Vets, and Mary Ann went in overnight several times to check on her. She did everything she could, and made the process a lot easier than I expected. It breaks my heart, but you can't ask for any better care for your beloved pets. I am so thankful we found this place, the staff are all lovely, and make it a friendly atmosphere (including previously inviting us and our doggy to be part of the Blackwood Christmas Pageant!). They have "vets with heart" written on the backs of their uniform, and I've never seen a more true slogan. They truly love animals.
