Could not be more positive about this veterinary practice. They saved our 33 year old cockatoo Paulie's life. We had to make a 380 kilometre trip to the Frankston Practice as there was no longer an avian vet where we are. They saw Paulie as an emergency and kept her there for nearly a fortnight until they stabilised her to the point she could be operated on. Great caring and professional people. Thank you.

Wonderful, compassionate and caring staff. They provide high quality care, and very clear communication. I'm so grateful for the care they have given my rabbit over the years, and recommend them to everyone with an 'unusual pet' family member. I really enjoy their newsletter and web articles too. They are such a wealth of knowledge.

Today we travelled up to The Unusual Pet Vets for the first time with Luke and then stopped off at a local cafe.He was VERY popular! Loved every minute and even had a dance party out back before having a nap so he could get all the ouchy stuff done. Rather than waking up sleepy and confused he started dancing again right away!!Thank you Dr Kiara and all the doctors and nurses who made Luke enjoy every moment of his vet visit! He was a very happy bird all the way home and was so good on his harness 🤍💛🦜

Very friendly and helpful clinic who are very focussed on the health and well-being of pets. They have a lot of insight around keeping birds well beyond just medical needs, such as strategies for creating safe but stimulating environments. Excellent stock of toys and food

Thank you so much for the during after care when my granddaughter and my pet rabbit, Rosie was ready for greener pastures. It’s been a difficult time feeling guilty and missing her (him) so much.For nearly 12 years Rosie was loved by many and enjoyed the freedom of having the backyard free range. RIP Rosie and thank you again to staff for your care. xx

First time visiting the clinic since I do live far away but worth the drive for the knowledgeable staff since normal vets lack the reptile experience and knowledge needed. Was very impressed with such a nice and positive space. Needed to get my lizards a health check since one of them had a little issue with his leg. Was seen by Dr Kiara who was friendly and professional the entire time . I was happy to hear my lizards are both happy and healthy for their age and the leg issue seems to have healed itself in the last few weeks and he is full of beans again! If I ever need my lizards seen to again it's well worth the drive.

Every single person I spoke to both on the phone and in person was knowledgeable and patient in answering questions I had. In person, everyone there was clearly skilled and comfortable handling my lizard and helped to easily resolve the concerns I was having both immediately, and via advice for long term care. I cannot recommend enough booking in here if you need care for an animal that is not a cat or dog.

Just wanted to update my review to say WOW. I am impressed. I have been to many many vets over the years with barely little success. This vet goes above and beyond to help my animals and is always so happy and enthusiastic to see them! Been twice now due to emergency situations. One of the times my chicken was put down and they were kind, caring and understanding with the process. For once a vet understood our animals and thoroughly checked them over. They explained all the reasoning and options properly. We took home footprints and they gave us a card and sent us another card in the post with seeds to plant. So so beautiful ❤ thank you for the support during sad times. Only negatives would be that I wish they were open later for more animal emergencies as no other places would take birds late at night. And finally they are quite expensive. Highly recommend if you can afford it to go!

Have to give a five star review for the team at The Unusual Pet Vets for providing excellent care to my boy and keeping me updated throughout the entire process. In particular, I would like to thank Dr Hamish and his team for saving my boy's right leg. I was told that my boy's leg was badly fractured and the surgery would be very complicated having to repair a fractured 6mm thigh bone. I was not having too much hope that his leg will be able to be repaired given the severity of the injury. Fortunately, Dr Hamish performed some magical work and managed to save my boy's leg and he is now starting to move again!! If you are looking for quality care and treatment for your pets, this is the place to be. You certainly pay for the quality but trust me it totally worth it. I live more than an hour away but it certainly worth my travel time. Attached are photos of my boy's repaired leg. I would recommend this vet clinic to anyone.

Have been there a few times for our pet rats. Great staff and very caring. We recently had to have one of our rats euthanized, as he had a severe respiratory illness. The vet and all staff handled everything with such kindness and care. They never rushed anything and ensured we were at ease. Even packaged our rat, in a suitable way, for us to be able to take him home for a garden burial. And on top of this, a week later we received a handmade card and a bag of flower seeds, to be planted on his grave. Just phenomenal, thought and kindness goes into all their work.

The vets at The Usual pets vets are amazing. I took my bunny cookie for a checkup there after my other bunny passed away. They showed great empathy for our loss and took the time to make sure cookie was healthy. Cookie had her vaccination and they called the next day to check how she was doing. Thanks so much to The Usual pets vets. 🥰

I honestly can't thank Hamish and James enough, today we rushed our beautiful guinea pig Erika in and they was fast to make a diagnose and rushed our baby girl into emergency surgery. James called just to let us know everything went well, My anxiety got the better of me and I called them right before they shut to check up on our girl and they reassured me that she was doing better and was alot brighter and would keep us updated on any news ☺️ thank you UPV for saving our girl ❤️

I just wanted to say a big "thank you" to all of the team at Unusual Pet Vets. They helped make the last 6 months of Bounty's (ferret) life comfortable despite his compounding health problems. I would highly recommend them for ferrets. All of the staff were very caring and knowledgeable.

Very compassionate and reasonable staff here. I can say with confidence that they only want what is best for your pet and will give you the best cause of action to take along with other options depending on your financial situation and what not. We had our guinea pig cared here and we thought we were going to lose her. She has recovered over the course of a month or so and wouldn't have if it wasn't for this vet. We are forever thankful for your services.

Wonderful clinic that accepted an adorable, yet dazed Eastern Yellow Robin after it flew into my window. It was such a relief this service was available on a Sunday afternoon before a public holiday.Such commitment to preserving the wellness of our beautiful native wildlife must be commended, we’re so fortunate to have these dedicated saints.
