Services
Balmain Village Veterinary Clinic offers just about everything your pet needs under one roof. We have invested heavily in new and up-to-date equipment, including a state of the art digital X-ray machine and upgraded in-house pathology facilities with a lab station developed by NASA. We also have access to the knowledge of our visiting experts, who can carry out specialist surgical procedures.
Dr Manuela Trueby established Balmain Village Veterinary Clinic in 1992, in the heart of Balmain. She recognised the need in the community for an easily accessible veterinary clinic which offered state-of-the-art veterinary services and holistic therapies but also provided a loving, personal and sensitive approach to pet and owner.
Dr Manuela Trueby graduated as a veterinarian from Ludwig-Maximillian University in Munich in 1984, where she also attended a course that introduced her to veterinary homeopathy. Following a scientific tutor position at the Veterinary Faculty, she completed her dissertation as DrMedVet in 1987.
During the next two years Dr Manuela worked in a specialist small animal clinic in Germany, utilising her traditional veterinary medicine skills, homeopathy and her knowledge in nutraceuticals.In 1989 she was awarded a German scholarship to work at Taronga Zoo in Sydney and Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo, while completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Wildlife Medicine and Husbandry at Sydney University.

This covers any internal problems such as infectious diseases, respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders and cancer treatments. Modern anesthetic machines and agents (similar to those used on humans), blood tests, intravenous fluid, oxygen therapy and the best monitoring equipment contribute to the safety of our surgical procedures.
Our veterinarians use Needle and Laser Acupuncture to treat almost any imbalance with excellent results. Acupuncture was used on animals as long as 3,500 years ago, when legend has it, an elephant was treated for a stomach disorder similar to bloating.
Since then, Acupuncture and other forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have been used to treat a variety of problems, including pain, arthritis, spinal and disc injuries, hip dysplasia, epilepsy, lameness, gastroenteritis, allergies, cystitis, chronic respiratory disease.Acupuncture involves the insertion of needles into body tissue where nerve bundles and blood vessels come together.

Very caring and friendly staff. Dr Trueby is an excellent holistic Veterinarian. She is very thorough and takes great interest in both her patients and their owners. My beloved dog has already exceeded her initially cancer prognosis by a number of months and continues to look well. I highly recommend visiting this practice.

I absolutely recommend Balmain Village veterinary clinic. Manuela has looked after my little Maggie for 10 years. She gives me the most sensible practical and natural advice possible. I trust her implicitly, she is kind caring and genuine. Thank you to Manuela and the team for being there Sandra Wolfe

Our dog Bowser loves seeing Dr Manuela and the nurses at Balmain village vet. We have had great experiences with the team and love that the clinic offers alternative medicine such as homeopathy! Dr Manuela always listens to our needs and provides excellent care to our boy! We can’t thank them enough for all of the care and and ongoing support they have provided!

It is very hard to briefly summarise my gratitude to Dr Manuela and the nurses at Balmain village vet. Our journey together has been one of both heartbreak and incredible joy. They cared for my very beautiful fur child - next to us both, to the end with love, compassion beyond words sending him peacefully across the rainbow bridge. Once again they have welcomed the little new member of my tribe with open arms and we are on another journey together. The team is professional, offer alternative medicines as well as traditional, they tailor to suit your best interest and have hearts of gold. I can

Having recently dealing with the loss of a family member we desperately needed help with the old sick cat who survived.
We called this vet and the woman who answered was rude, unhelpful and one of the most vile people I have ever dealt with over the phone.
I will never spend a dollar on pet food or anything else this business offers ever again nor will our friends.
The “receptionist” should be moved on and if I thought someone like that was the greeting voice of my business I would be mortified.

The most caring and wonderful Veterinary clinic I've ever dealt with! Balmain Village Veterinary is my chosen vet. Dr. Manuela is fantastic along with all her lovely erudite staff that offer so much support… and knowledge. I love that I can count on them for all my pups needs. I personally appreciate the holistic/natural approach to my pets health before jumping into conventional therapy. The clinic is extremely up front with costs and take their time in aiding you to make the best decision for your furry friend. I couldn't recommend this clinic enough. A huge THANK YOU to the Balmain Village

I am so grateful to have found Manuela and her team. My dog has always been terrified (and badly behaved) at the vets. Manuela has been able to work miracles with him and has helped him heal to the point that he does not need the invasive surgery that I was advised to have in another practise. I am very happy and highly recommend this lovely clinic
