About consultations
Unfortunately animals can’t tell us when they are unwell. A thorough clinical examination by a veterinarian can often detect abnormalities or conditions well before they become obvious to even the most experienced of pet owners.
Early intervention for any problems identified during the routine examination can prevent undue stress for your pet and unnecessary expense for you.
For this reason, we recommend health checks on at least an annual basis for all pets, and 6-monthly checks for older patients. These visits are not just required for administration of vaccinations
Schedule a visit
We provide the same exceptional experience at both clinics.

We took our cat there who had been developing pain walking.He was given a full body examination checking all of his bones, organs and temperature.His symptoms were explained as developing arthritis and our pain relief options were discussed, and we immediately started treatment Dr Melody was so caring, knowledgeable and helpful, and my cat was relaxed and calm. Could not fault their service and the cost (including medication) was very reasonable. Happy to Recommend!! Thanks x

In addition to providing great care the clinic is extremely welcoming & showed genuine concern for my dog. Staff even assisted me to lift my 30kg dog into my car. The follow up is excellent - really good customer service.

When my immunocompromised cat started showing signs of being unwell on a Sunday I was relieved to find somewhere that was open and with good hours too. The vet who saw us was absolutely lovely and spoke kindly to my nervous little girl. They even followed up by calling the next day to check up on how she was doing. Thank you for caring for Elena 🙂

The team at Vets of Geelong - Highton Clinic were just so professional and lovely. They really care about their patients and customers, they are just amazing providing a courtesy call to check up on my pet and even sent a handwritten personal letter with some items that come along with it! All in all so so amazing and could not recommend enough! You really care about your customers.

We had a wonderful experience taking our puppy, Baz, to the Highton clinic for his first round of vaccinations. The vet who looked after Baz was very friendly and helpful.Our puppy was treated with great care and we (first time dog owners) left with all of our questions answered. Baz got plenty of treats and can’t wait to go back!

I visited a few local vets to get an idea of their costs and set up before we brought Paddy home, however I found this clinic to be very professional, caring, and no-nonsense, straight up about what was needed and expected for my Cavoodle. Great service and value for money.

Fantastic service from reception right through to the Dr in the surgery. A Sunday appointment and I left the clinic feeling very comfortable that our little dog was going to be fine after a thorough assessment. We just moved to this area and the Geelong West Vet clinic will be our go to vet for everything in the future.

I'm not normally one for writing reviews but Highton Vet Clinic honestly saved me and my dog. For the last year my poor girl has been put through the ringer of treatments and I was too foolish to question it because I'm trusting my vet who is a trained medical professional right? Oh how wrong I was. I brought her to Highton for a second opinion after some doubts in these "treatments" and they were so amazing and honest and I only wish I'd done it sooner rather than wait as long as I had. Will definitely only be using Highton from now on for all my furchildren. 5/5 stars is honestly not enough you saved her future and me from going insane with stress so thank you.

I had never been to this vet before but had to take my very old sick cat in last night. Reception was nice and helpful, I booked an appointment easily and drove to the clinic, the vet that saw me was was very kind and gave me all the information that I needed. Sorry I can’t remember the vets name but he was thoughtful and what was a sad night due to how sick my poor cat was, was made easier and by their professional manner. They did all this will be covid safe too. I would recommend this vet practice. Thank you

Have been to both Highton and Geelong West Veterinary Clinics and both have been outstanding with their friendliness, care and compassion towards both patient and clients. I was very satisfied with the care/treatment my animals received. I just received a follow up letter asking how my Dog is doing and some goodies/vouchers. How lovely

So lovely. Took my dog in late at night as I thought she had what looked like a tick, the vet nurse checked it out free of charge and was so lovely. Thank you, it’s clear they care so much about every animal that comes through.

The best vet clinic in town! Thank you to the amazing staff at this clinic for making our visit this week so successful! Such a stressful situation for our family and our dog and the care you gave us all could not have been better. I loved the phone call updates and photos you shared of our dogs day stay. So happy you moved into our neighbourhood 🙏

This is by far the best vet we’ve ever had! We are new to the area and had tried a few other local vets but we weren’t impressed with any of them THEN we found Geelong West Vet Clinic and we couldn’t be more thrilled! Everyone there is lovely, knowledgeable & passionate. The clinic itself is bright & clean. I was blown away by the level of customer service & care to detail! After our first appt they called me the next day to see how our dog was responding to the medication & if I had any questions. They really care about what they are doing and I couldn’t recommend them higher.

If I could give more stars I would. I have been to many vets over Geelong and have never felt so confident as I do when I bring my pets in to HVC. Every vet, nurse, receptionist has been absolutely wonderful and very caring to our fur children. Our dog has had 2 knee surgeries and each time we always get a photo and an update sent via text. My cat is in there being treated for a snake bite and i get a text and phone call morning and night on her progress. They are all wonderful

Highly recommend!! We visited after reading great reviews from others with birds. Then reception staff were just lovely, and Kristian was fantastic with one of our Muscovy ducks: very gentle with her, patient, took his time to be very thorough, checked the literature for latest evidence on appropriate treatment, and followed up with a phone call later. He even adjusted the room temperature for her! Brilliant. I also thought the pricing was reasonable - always a big help. Thank you so much Kristian and team!

Popped in for a quick check of our Staffy Frankie, worming, flea treatment and general health check. Super friendly, very professional and made Frankie feel relaxed as it’s not her favourite place to be ..😂😂 great to be followed up with a few days later and we will definitely be making Geelong West Vet Clinic our go to Vet from now on. 👍👍

Our cockatiel was vomiting so we called the vet. The vet nurse spoke to me on the phone, had me describe symptoms and told me what to look out for. I ended up taking the bird into the vet the next day. Dr. Marg was amazing, very knowledgeable about (and good with) birds. The clinic called to follow up the next day and I was pleased to say the vomiting had already completely stopped. All in all a great experience and we will be going back.

By far the best vet clinic I have ever been to! Highly highly recommend. Every vet is so kind, caring and concise. All other team from reception to nurses are also so helpful, welcoming and thoughtful. I am such a nervous cat Mum and often I call them for advice and never have they been impatient with me. They listen and give me great advice, and never rush me off the phone no matter how silly my worry is. They are open til 10pm every night which shows how important animals are to them, it gives me so much peace of mind to know they are there til late if ever something were to go wrong and I appreciate all the late shift workers so much! Take your babies here, there’s no other vet like them

I’m so impressed with the Highton Vet Clinic. I’m new to the Geelong area so a quick google search found these guys and I’m so glad I did. I called one night during their extended opening hours as I was a little bit worried about my newly adopted pup but they were more than happy to give me some advice over the phone, which led on to them assuring me a check up in the morning would be okay and not to stress about getting there that night. We booked my dog in the next morning and the vet, Kristian, was fantastic! Made my pup feel very very comfortable and loved in an often unfriendly environment. It was a very easy going visit and my little girl was in tip top shape. The next day I received a follow up call to make sure she was still doing well- another amazing point. And today in the mail I received a gift pack welcoming me to the clinic. To say I’m impressed with their service is an understatement. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent service, we needed "after hours" care for our dog but didn't necessarily need the emergency vet. The long opening hours meant we could get care for our pet and we were beyond happy with the service our dog Augie received.

Went to Highton Vets on the weekend as they were the only clinic open that didn't charge me extra for the weekend. The staff were friendly and the vet was straight onto my dog's problem and she's much better, I'm going to stay with them now and not going back to my old vet now.
Trish Williams

I have been using this Vet for the last 3 years and they have always been lovely and professional. I have a dog and two cats and all of my visits have been a pleasure. They send you reminders of vaccinations and give you great advice on keeping your pet healthy. I have no hesitation in recommending this vet clinic to anyone.
