There is that thing about cats having nine lives, and it's true. Cats get themselves out of a lot of tricky situations. They spend time out and about and sometimes you don't know where they are or what they are up to. They get stuck in trees or in garages, and have been known to hitch rides in vans to different cities, then somehow make their way back home.
You've got a new beautiful puppy or the cutest new rescue dog. Yay, it's too adorable and the fun times with your dog are about to begin. Playing catch, enjoying long dog walks in the park and having it snuggle up with you in your bed are all divine and fabulous things to do. But you also have to take the health of your dog very seriously.
Dental disease is a common and serious disease affecting dogs, cats, rabbits and rodents. Long standing dental problems can cause severe damage to the heart, kidney and other organs. If your pet is having difficulty eating, has smelly breath or the teeth aren't shiny and white, call in for a dental check-up.
Social media plays a huge part in getting pets reunited with their owners. When a dog or cat goes missing, the owners often post a pic of the pet to social media, asking for neighbourhood help. When you get a new dog or cat, the first thing you should do, together with vaccinations, is a microchip.
We love dogs and cats but we need to do what is right for them, for the owners, and also for the world. There are far too many unwanted dogs and cats out there and unless you have good reason for your pets to have puppies or kittens, it is recommended that you desex them. Desexing basically means you are removing your animal's reproductive system.

I have been going here with my German Shepherd for a few years now. Everyone makes him feel so calm and loved and he especially loves Dr Beth! He happily runs up to staff for cuddles and has received such high quality treatment. Definitely recommend.

Through my adult life I have had multiple pets, cats and dogs. This has generally led to a good relationship with my local vets. When I moved to the ACT I thought the Canberra Veterinary Hospital would be a good choice. However, I have never met a more unhelpful and at times downright intransigent vet service. They seem entirely unable to prioritise the needs of the animals or their customers over their own. They lack any kind of flexibility and promises to return calls have been repeatedly unfulfilled on multiple occasions. They generally have locum vets, most of which have been perfectly pleasant

Unfortunately they basically only deal with cats and dogs. Took my very sick goat here this morning being mislead by the name “Canberra Vet Hospital.” The only reason I decided to stop by here was because it was on the way to work and my usual vet opening hours did not suit. The 2 vets we saw were good - they were honest in that they were limited in what they could do for the goat and we were very grateful that they could fit us in. Front desk was another story, only one person seemed to know what they were doing she helped us initially when we walked through the front door, the other receptionist

Very unprofessional. When losing a pet it is hard enough. Trying to get the cremation place of their choice not the clients. The client had already chosen and was upset, you persisted to change their mind.

Less than one star! My pet was injected with the wrong medication (nasal drops) and now has to undergo a course of antibiotics and blood tests to determine permanent injury. The vet failed to meet professional standards for care by mixing up medication and as result my perfectly healthy dog is now sicker as result of the vets incompetence. She now has a golf ball size lump in between her shoulder blades. The head vet was dismissive of my concern and insinuated I should be grateful the antibiotics were not going to cost me!

Thank you to the friendly professional staff for making us feel welcome. My little kitten displayed no anxiety at all the whole time we were there. A good experience 😀

A wonderful team. The experience sending our sweet Willow across the rainbow bridge couldn’t have been more respectful and peaceful. If you hadn’t already won us over with your professionalism and knowledge, that difficult moment would have. Thank you.

Dr Beth Deane is the best, she knows exactly what happened to our two cats, provided valuable advice on how to solve the problem and effective medical supplements, now our two cats are getting better and get along well with each other, really appreciate her patience, professionalism and care.

We are so grateful for the care and compassion provided by the staff at Canberra Vet Hospital. Our little Buddy boy was in a bad way after swallowing a ball, but the team nursed him back to health in no time. Everyone was incredibly kind, patient & knowledgeable.

We've been going to CVH since we got Nova in March and can highly recommend it. We took Nova to their puppy classes, got her vaccines there and now we are adopting a kitten through them. The staff are excellent and their number one priority is always the animals, exactly as it should be. Everyone we have dealt with at CVH have constantly put in the extra bit of effort to make sure Nova is the best she can be. I'd especially like to call out both Alicia and Colleen for their outstanding service so far, thank you both for everything you do!
