SASH - the Small Animal Specialist Hospital

A wonderful place for specialist care of fur and feather babies. We are very grateful for the care our pet received during a recent emergency visit. The staff are very knowledgeable and thorough; they went into great detail to understand the issue and identify possible causes and kept us regularly updated on our pet's progress and care. They were also very accommodating in arranging visits during our pet's admission and provided a lot of written and demonstrations to ensure we were comfortable with administering post-discharge care. It is clear that all the staff we dealt with care deeply for the animals they care for.

The team at SASH are just wonderful and so kind, I really recommend them. The Avian team, including Dr Natasha, Dr Olivia, all the nurses and the entire emergency team took such beautiful care of my Sebastian.They were so incredibly kind to me when it became clear he unfortunately wasn’t going to make it. I absolutely recommend them for your birds and all loved pets as the entire team are so caring. I’ve had some really sad experiences with vets before and can absolutely confirm the SASH team go above and beyond to look after for your pets and do everything they can for them.

Great vet with professional staffs. My cat and rabbit were looked-after well. I really like the cat waiting area, my cat felt calm and safe when I put her into those little slots behind the curtain. Great design for anxious cats.

My review is based around the staff, as it's quite clear SASH is amazing at treating our beloved pets.The staff made me feel comfortable and confident in their ability from the start. We live far away, so when we had to leave our beautiful dog Nala for a few days, it was difficult. Staff kept in contact with regular updates and always gave the impression they really cared.I've had several pets in my life and have had dealings with vets from around the world as I've lived in several countries, never have I come across a vet so committed to helping my loved one as well as putting my mind at ease with their professionalism.Thank you, SASH. Nala thanks you too.

SASH staff are so very caring, empathetic and kind. They do their utmost to keep you posted on your pet's progress daily. And if you have to say goodbye, they do their utmost to give you as much time and privacy as needed. Excellent team who go out of their way to help you

The staff at SASH are wonderful. Our beloved Ruby was being taken care of by Dr Courtney Ludwig for an autoimmune disease and was doing very well. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago, Ruby presented with kidney failure and was admitted to hospital. She received the best care and treatment any pet owner could want. Not only was she treated with superior professional knowledge, but she was also, above all, treated with dignity and love. During Ruby's stay in hospital, I was kept informed regularly of her condition and advised accordingly. All the vets, nurses and administration staff were always mindful of our feelings and the whole process of euthanizing Ruby was carried out with dignity and respect. We were able to spend as much time as we wished with her before she passed away. Thank you to everyone at SASH for taking care of our Ruby when she needed it most.

When our bird Max was very sick our vet recommended we take him to see Dr Melinda Cowan who specialises in avian veterinary.Our guy was very sick with serious injuries.With special care and around the clock attention our guy was back to himself after a couple of weeks at SASH. The staff here are amazing. From the ladies at the front desk, the doctors and the nurses we really appreciate the care and attention Max received. With daily phone call updates, photos and videos while Max was in their care, it eased our minds.Thank you very much Dr Melinda, Dr Janet, Dr Natalia and all the nurses who helped our guy get back to full health.

I'm so grateful that SASH exists and our pets can access caring and high quality healthcare.Dr Phil Brain and his team were so kind and friendly to my dog Rocky.They took the time to say hello to him, give him a rub and be mindful of his needs as they were examining him. As a result, Rocky left his hospital visit very calm and relaxed, despite being an anxious dog.Dr Phil was also very thorough in his explanations of what analysis he was going to do, and the results of this analysis. It was really helpful to learn more about Rocky's condition.At front desk during payment, the services & admin staff were also very helpful and friendly with my payment method.I could not speak more highly of the wonderful vets, nurses and team at SASH, thank you

Sadly it appears that SASH has had a lot of experience in treating animals with cancer, because everything has been so efficient. I cannot find a single fault. The information provided was timely, thorough and personalised. The online consent forms are convenient. The staff were absolutely incredible. So kind, compassionate and friendly. Best experience for the worst situation.

Exceptional Care and Expertise for Our Beloved Dachshund Henry.Our experience with SASH Emergency Small Animal Hospital and Dr. Laura McLeay was nothing short of extraordinary.

She patiently listened to our concerns and explained the procedure in a way that reassured us during this stressful time. We were particularly grateful for her frequent updates throughout the week that Henry spent in the hospital. Her daily updates gave us peace of mind and helped us feel connected to Henry's progress.Dr. McLeay's surgical skills and expertise were truly impressive. She performed the emergency surgery with utmost precision and skill, ensuring Henry received the best possible care. Under her watchful eye, our precious pup recovered remarkably well and is now back to his lively self.What sets Dr. McLeay apart is her genuine care and dedication to her patients. She went above and beyond to ensure Henry's comfort and well-being. She took the time to answer all our questions, address our concerns, and provided us with valuable guidance for Henry's ongoing care.The entire staff at SASH Emergency Small Animal Hospital was also outstanding.
