I just love this vet. They are responsive, comprehensive and clear. Their customer service is excellent and the vets are very well informed.

This is in my opinion the best vet in Sydney and the only truly holistic vet (I’ve tried them all.) I owe Manuela a lot in keeping my 16 year old cat healthy and happy. They are compassionate, positive, and they inform you properly on what your pet’s condition is, so you can be properly aware of their needs. Manuela also looks for ways to make her services as affordable as possible and doesn’t do unnecessary (i.e. expensive) testing if there is another alternative. I could not rate them more highly.

Thank you so much for looking after Marilyn Munroe. We felt she had the best care available at Balmain Village Vet.

I want you to know how very grateful I am to you for the wonderful care you gave Minnie over the last 10 years. I have no doubt that not only did your holistic treatment extend his life by a few years, it also greatly improved and enhanced the quality of his life - both physically and psychologically. You are the finest Veterinary Practitioner I have ever known and I recommend you most highly to everyone.

Thank you for your exceptional care of Cookie after her recent collision with a car. We really appreciated your staying later on Friday and Saturday to attend to her injuries. Thanks also for the extra special multi-coloured bandage. It will be remembered long after.

Thank you for looking after James Dean and Spike throughout their latter years. Your professional care certainly assisted their longevity of twenty two years. Thank you for your superb care of Jess since she was a puppy. What has always come through from you was your genuine care and compassion for Jess.
Anne & Claire Cogswell
Just a little note to thank you for all the wonderful care you gave Conan over the last few years. The fact that he was always so comfortable with you is truly a testament to the compassion you show your patients and their families. In July last year you saved Conan’s life and gave us an extra six months to spend with our beloved rascal. For that and for your kindness and compassion, I can never thank you enough.

The most caring and wonderful Veterinary clinic I’ve ever dealt with! Balmain Village Veterinary is my chosen vet. Dr. Manuela is fantastic along with all her lovely erudite staff that offer so much support and knowledge. I love that I can count on them for all my pups needs. I personally appreciate the holis- tic/natural approach to my pets health before jumping into conventional therapy.

Manuela has been able to work miracles with my dog and has helped him heal to the point that he does not need the invasive surgery that I was advised to have in another practice. I am very happy and highly recommend this lovely clinic.
