Princes Highway Veterinary Hospital
We care for your pets, providing professional medical and surgical facilities in our custom designed Veterinary Hospital in Kogarah, as well as offering boarding and grooming services. For added convenience you can also pick up pet food and accessories while you're here. Our hospital is open from 8.30am to 7pm on weekdays and 9am to 3pm on Saturdays for your convenience.

During these times, you can pop in to buy something over the counter, or drop off your pet for surgery during the week. Dr Shelton graduated from Sydney University Veterinary School with first class honours in 2000. He was born and raised in the local area, however he has spent many years travelling to parts of Australia and abroad in order to further his Veterinary skills.
Services
Accidents and health emergencies can happen at any time, and our experienced team is ready to help if the unexpected happens to your pet. Emergencies are always given first priority at our vet hospital. If possible, please call ahead so that we can prepare for your pet's arrival. Poisoning- If you suspect your pet has eaten something that might be poisonous, please bring in the packaging or container to help us administer the right antidote.
Planning a holiday? We know it can be difficult to leave your pet behind, but you can be confident they will receive excellent care and plenty of affection when they stay with us. We offer comfortable boarding facilities at our Vet Hospital, so why not book your pet in for a stay with us, and you can relax knowing they will be well cared for, with lots of TLC.
Puppy Pre-school is just as important as your puppy's health. It gives your puppy the chance to develop social skills that will impact the way he or she interacts with people and other dogs for the rest of its life. All new puppies are encouraged to enrol in class shortly after the first vaccination from 8-16 weeks of age as this is considered the critical socialisation period of a puppy's life.

Only my first visit to this vet, but I wish I could give a 10 star review. Dr Louise was amazing and so knowledgeable, far moreso than I’ve dealt with lately. Everything moved snappily and I was super impressed. Thank you!

Hayley is amazing! She was very helpful with finding details of a cat that went there over 5 years ago. She went above and beyond. I just wish I still lived in the Sydney area so a could take my pets there.

Great service. Reasonable price. It's a Covid Safe business. There is a contactless business. I dropped off and picked up my pet at their parking. Over the phone payment for treatment. No need to get into the building. Safe for our community.

Dr Shelton and his staff were fantastic. They are all very caring and knowledgeable. They are very understanding of not only my pets needs but mine too. They took the time to explain everything that was needed to be done to help my dog and treat him accordingly. I would highly recommend Princes Hwy Vet for all your fur babies needs.

I own two West Highland White Terriers and rate this clinic so highly that I continue to use them exclusively despite now living 10 km away. Dr Shelton Smith has provided the highest level of care and advice - not just in terms of treatment but also preventative care. He has also been able to identify underlying issues with the dogs that were not readily apparent - coming up with successful treatment options that certainly alleviated problems and added to their quality of life. The staff here are very friendly and are clearly animal lovers. I can't recommend this place highly enough

Shelton and his team are so professional but so humble and so friendly we trust them with all our animals. He has helped us through our cat’s treatment with terminal cancer. We trust him and his team and recommend him to everyone

Above and beyond, veterinary care from the heart.
I couldn’t recommend Dr Shelton more highly and I will continue to travel here.
You can see the difference between Shelton’s care for animals in comparison to other vets we have visited.
I am so grateful to him for looking after my cat for emergency surgery and I am so glad I transferred my cat here (we don’t live locally), as the communication, reassurance and professionalism was OUTSTANDING. The pricing is extremely reasonable and the care for animals is 5 star.

Dr Ben is an exceptional vet - and human being. Caring and extremely experienced I travel 2hrs each way to have him look after my Chinese Cresteds. I can honestly say he is the best vet I have ever found. Highly recommended.

The lovely staff took great care of our beloved cat Sookie for years until she passed. The staff are wonderful, the service impeccable and the best priced. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my furry family members. I cannot speak any more highly of this vet.

Thank you Dr Ben and staff for saving Mystri!! To others considering taking your furry ones to the vet, trust me there is no better than Dr Ben. He truly cares about his patients and is reasonably priced. Dr Ben has saved three of my little ones when other vets recommended putting them to sleep. Will always recommend this Vet. Thanks again Dr Ben from Jackson, Junior and Mystri.
