Reviews
"Can not recommend enough. The staff are lovely and caring, everything your animal deserves. Rushed in after Burpengary Vets said our little baby has to be put down because spinal issues, after 3 months of visits, for Northlakes vets to put the love and effort in to actually find out he has meningitis. Has been a rough couple of days, but they've been nothing but lovely helpful. Can not thank them enough."
"Our visit took just over an hour. Parking is easy, reception is friendly, waiting area is big, and staff are informative and helpful. Everything was explained in an easy-to-understand way, and the vet who took care of my girl on the 19th of April '23 was very professional. And the price is reasonable, too - just over $400 for an after hours visit that included staples & medication. Recommended to anyone needing an emergency vet for their furbaby."
"Yes they helped save my cat but they were just as ready to put it down on a suspected MVA though he didn't show the typical signs of MVA. The level of cleanliness was wow: consult room was so smelly with dry blood marks on the floor. Cat had been there for not even 24 hours and came back smelling so bad. He's injured so we can't shower / bathe him as we don't want to cause more trauma but the smell in his fur is gag worthy. Old dog drool smell. So obviously the level of cleanliness in the pet care area is much worse then that of the consult rooms. They aren't cheap and are super busy. How about you guys invest in a cleaner or 3 to keep the place hygienic. So smelly and gross I feel sorry for my cat with their sense of smell. Also, cat was taken in by public due to suspected motor vehicle accident. The vet I spoke to was leaning towards euthanizing as they didn't know level of injury. Cost of keeping him there overnight with scans would cost $2K - $2.5K, and if fractures found they would not be releasing to take home,, I'd have to agree to treatment costing $4K+ or put down. And no, I couldn't take him home before scans, or if it came back showing fractures. It was pay for scan or euthanize. I could see he was very lucid and euthanizing without knowing full extent of injuries didn't sit well with me so borrowed money and got the scans. Thankfully to find out only minor fracture at jaw joint but ok to be released. He's recovering very speedly at home. Including photos to demonstrate how he was practically clear of any signs indicating MVA except for injury on jaw. Any trained vet should have been able to see he did not exhibit signs of MVA to suggest being put down if I didn't borrow $2,500 to cover scans and overnight stay. They said he's got what appeared to be a tyre mark over his back! I corrected them and said he gets under my car and the black mark on his back is from that,, then they later said: he's sat up and changed positions. Would a run over cat do that? 1st image is of him when he was taken there with suspected MVA as he was found huddling near some rocks. Next 3 images are after he's been administered methadone. Lastly, when I didn't have the transaction limit on my dad's card to clear the balance of the bill the next day I rang and asked if possible to get an invoice, and I was told they can't do that as the vet could lose its licence. I had to call around and borrow money to cover the $300 shortfall. Untrustworthy vets with dirty practice, on so many levels."
"Compassionate and friendly. Took care of my cat well. He was so sick I had him booked in to be put to sleep a few days later. When that day arrived I rang and cancelled it. So glad I did because he is back to himself."
"Can not say enough good things about the staff at QVS when our beloved GSD hurt herself. They got her in to see a vet ASAP and got straight into getting her injury sorted. Looking after her with heaps of care, even giving her hugs when I couldn't They sent her home with all the needed medication and the stylish cone."
