What Our Clients Are Saying

Katy

Vanessa and the Exotics Vet team are absolutely incredible and I am so thrilled they are on the Peninsula now with their own dedicated practice! The vibe in the clinic is always calm and welcoming and the staff are all so lovely. The team are kind and caring and Vanessa is incredible with her knowledge and her thoroughness during appointments. You feel all your pet’s bases are covered when you come to visit! I wouldn’t put my guinea pigs’ health in anyone else’s hands – thank you Exotics Vet Team!

Malcom

Dr Vanessa is a wonderful and caring vet who treats each patient with care. She has been looking after my various pet rats for years and I am so pleased that she can now continue to do so in her own practice. As usual, Dr Vanessa spent the time to fully check my rats and to help the stay healthy. I would definitely recommend Dr Vanessa and “The Exotics Vet” for all your weird on wonderful exotic pets

Annette

One word “compassionate ” our first visit unfortunately was a very sad one as we had to get our pet rats euthanised. Our boys our little men❤️
Wow what a beautiful caring practice, from our first phone call to the woman who we paid, not to mention Dr Vanessa who was so professional, thoughtful and gentle we were very impressed, and although we were so sad, us and our boys were shown so much respect which warmed our hearts. Thank you so much

Nico

Awesome vet Vanessa and fantastic team! I got there with my sick chicken and in the end she even started roosting on the examination table. Great energy and support for nervous little pets and their owners.

Stephanie

Incredible team! Always looking after my pet geese! Always squeezing me in when my girls have been clumsy! Best vet I’ve ever encountered! Couldn’t be more thankful for all the amazing staff here!

Gabby

Vanessa and her team are warm, welcoming & very knowledgeable. The price range was not exuberant. Very happy with their service and care. Thank you so much for looking after Yolanda, she is a very happy chook & fully healed! Highly recommend!

Melanie

I would definitely recommend Dr Vanessa and her team. Dr Vanessa has looked after all our pet rats and is both knowledgeable and caring. Big Mac certainly appreciated her emergency care yesterday which undoubtedly saved his life following a bad RI flare up.

Linnette

Ness is one of the most knowledgeable vets I’ve ever met!! Incredible personality and an absolutely amazing person! She treated my Emu for a nonweight bearing lameness and now she’s recovered and zooms around the paddock!

Lorraine

Vanessa and her team were very professional, supportive and empathetic in their dealings with me and my pet. I would highly recommended this practice to animal lovers.
