Services
Vaccines prevent life threatening disease. We recommend puppies and kittens receive 3 vaccines, ideally at 8, 12 and 16 weeks of age. A 12 month booster is then given (when the dog/ cat is 16 months of age). Dogs can be given some of their vaccinations on a 3 yearly interval. Paralysis ticks are potentially fatal.
Over 70% of all cats and dogs have some form of dental disease - and just because they are eating doesn't mean it doesn't hurt! We offer free dental health checks so we can identify and treat problems before dental disease compromises your pet's wellbeing. Don't let your pet suffer silently. Dental examinations for your pets are part of the routine Annual Health Checks and can be performed whenever you visit the clinic with your pet.
The paralysis tick is a major problem for cats and dogs on the Central Coast. They occur year round but their numbers reach a peak from early spring to late summer when it is warm and wet. Paralysis ticks can lead to respiratory failure and death. The paralysis tick, Ixodes holocyclus, is the cause of tick poisoning.
When you place your pet in our hands you trust us to provide your pet with the best possible medical care. In order to offer you the peace of mind you deserve, we recommend pre-anaesthetic testing prior to placing your pet under anaesthetic. Although performing these tests cannot guarantee the absence of complications it can significantly minimise the risk to your pet and provide you and us with peace of mind.
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform an array of diagnostic tests that help us care for your pet. This ranges from simple laboratory tests to more complex diagnostic tools that help us in treating your pet. Having a state of the art in house pathology machine allows us to accurately assess haematology and biochemistry results for your pet in only 30 minutes.

We have had such lovely experiences with Terrigal vet. We moved up from Sydney and wanted to find a vet we would connect with over the upcoming years, especially for our brand new pup as our dogs are very much members of the family. It is such a homely vibe and the staff really care, we were able to get post op care and appointments for our dogs and the staff truely went above and beyond! Highly recommend! Mitsy and Rylee are certainly in great hands in their new home on the coast!

First visit to the recommended Terrigal Veterinary Hospital & was super impressed with the warm sunny waiting room & the excellent reception work on check in. The consultation was thorough, professional & gave me good insight into my dog's issue. Left feeling that I had just experienced one of the best Vet Consults I have ever had for any of my animals. Will certainly be making TERRIGAL VETERINARY HOSPITAL our preferred Vets

We have only recently started using Terrigal Vet for our new family pet and the reception staff are friendly and were quick to get us booked in for a concerning moment for our pup yesterday. Sammy the vet is lovely. She is knowledgeable and caring. The premises is really clean and our pup was happy considering the circumstances. I thought the bill was high for the test we had done, however, I believe that all vets would charge similar rates, so this is just a side comment as I haven't arranged pet insurance yet. Highly recommend

I contacted Terrigal veterinarian as my dog had an eye infection when I called the receptionist was professional and caring she found me an appointment for the following day. Sami saw to Cruz and was so genuinely lovely with him. He was quite comfortable by the end he was happy to have a little explore around the place. Usually he would head straight for the door. I will definitely be using this vet in the future

Great vet. Very supportive and professional. We all worry about our fur babies as we love them so. I feel like these vets really care and spend time explaining issues in a way we understand. Have used this practice over the span of a couple of dogs and have always been amazed at how much they remember what happened a decade ago.

I had what I thought was an emergency situation with my pet. Even though there was no available appointments and I had never been there before, the vet fit me in in her lunch break to see my animal. The service was great, reception staff great also and they really listened to us and put us at ease. Extremely reasonably priced as well . Would definitely recommend to other pet parents

Terrigal Vets have been my vet practice for 14 years. My dogs have all been very well looked after. It’s a very welcoming friendly practice and I find the vets to be exceptional at sharing info and good advice on managing my pets. I genuinely would recommend Simon , Scott , Anthony and the team to anyone needing a good veterinary service in Terrigal and It’s surrounds. There is plenty of parking and it is following CoVid 19 procedures.

My dogs and my late cat have been going to Terrigal Vet Hospital for over 10 years now and I cannot recommend them enough. As soon as I walk in I am greeted and known to staff. Our vet (Simon) is friendly, kind, sincere and extremely knowledgeable and I always trust his judgement knowing that what he is suggesting is what is truly best for my animals. I would not hesitate to recommend them!
