Got my dog food here.
It was pelting down rain and the staff still came out to help me. Great staff.

Our dog got a piece of bone lodged in her upper palate. Rushed down to the Black Rock Animal Hospital. Dr Juliet and her lovely team quickly fixed the issue, properly checked our pup and gave advice. And ridiculously didn’t charge, despite my protestations! Such a great customer experience! Thanks team.

I've been a client of Juliet and the Black Rock Animal Hospital team for well over ten years and I love all of them to pieces. They have always gone above and beyond by giving so much love and care to both my first dog over her senior years and my new dog through her younger years. If your looking for a family vet that is caring and thorough, call the Black Rock Animal Hospital 😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩

Our dog Bailey is towards the end of her life and is having nerve and arthritic pain. She was barely able to walk when we went yesterday and now today after the new treatment she is a new dog. Really amazing work from the team at Black Rock. Kate, Bailey and I thank you :)

We just moved into the area and needed to see a vet as my 17yo cat was losing weight rapidly. Juliette and her staff were amazing. She made sure that I knew all of the alternative treatments and tests available and then offered advice as to what she would do if the cat was hers. Unfortunately after a couple of weeks the treatment was not enough and we had to euthanize our treasured pet. Juliette and her staff were extremely compassionate and made the experience the best it could be under the circumstances. I have no hesitation in recommending Juliette and her team as an amazing vet!

Staff at the BR Animal Hospital Australia had to go through the worst time in my greyhound Jack’s life with me. On two occasions we had ‘Vet in the Car’ services cos Jack was too ill to be moved into surgery. Veterinarians and nursing staff were so kind, thoughtful, caring and considerate to Jack and me during this awful time, when I had to say farewell to my beautiful boy. I can’t praise the staff enough. Thankyou so much Julia P.

I cannot recommend Blackrock Animal Hospital enough. The care and concern shown at each visit from reception to Vet care is outstanding.
Our experience has extended from annual visits to hospital care.
Not to mention the level of aftercare and support we have received.

This animal hospital is great - the staff are all so lovely and kind and always so friendly. They are so kind to our Dalmatian puppy who has had a few problems! They clearly have the animals best interest at heart and I’m really grateful for their care and advice :)

I have been going to Black Rock Animal Hospital for some time now because they are such a wonderful organisation. I had to put my beloved cat down not long ago and the support and kindness I received from Black Rock really helped make it less daunting. Dr Jade’s warmth and kindness was amazing and we are so grateful to her. Thank you. Xxxx

Every time I visit with my two dogs they are professional and provide the best care. They are always happy to answer random questions & the after care following surgery was exceptional.

Not a great experience with our dog, defensive when we questioned things and so we have gone elsewhere and found out the vet completely got the wrong diagnosis. Real shame as we were a 10 year customer. Normally a great vet but not this time ...

This is a great local animal health center. The staff is very caring and accommodating. The facilities are modern and the ambiance is pleasant. We had to book in in an emergency, as our local vet was not open at the time, and received all the attention and the cure on the spot. And now we have made the Black Rock our preferred choice.
