Services
Our healthcare team can assist you with education, advice and care to ensure your pet has the happiest and healthiest life possible. We provide a full range of medical facilities for the diagnosis and treatment of dogs and cats. In order to keep informed on current therapies and procedures our veterinarians and nursing team regularly attend relevant seminars and education programs.
Veterinarians recommend desexing for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it prevents unwanted litters of puppies and kittens. In females, the spay procedure removes the reproductive organs and immediately stops hormonal cycles with the associated bleeding in bitches, and risk of pregnancy.
Castration of males can help prevent wandering tendencies which can lead to traffic accidents as well as some territorial behaviours in cats such as urine marking and fighting.The latter can lead to many an unplanned vet visit due to injuries which can in themselves require surgery and extensive treatment to resolve.

We recommend and stock a variety of healthcare products for your pets to protect against creepy crawlies such as fleas, mites, lice and intestinal worms. Please contact us for advice so we can recommend a product that suits your pet, environment and budget. We will tailor make a parasite control program for your individual pet, depending on his/her lifestyle and choosing amongst a number of excellent products now available.
Our x-ray facilities allow us to investigate animal injuries and health problems. Having the equipments on hand means we are able to quickly diagnose injuries particularly in emergency situations. This is convenient for you as your pet can have all treatment done at the hospital and also means our patients are given the best opportunity for recovery.
Vaccinations are very important and protect your pets against infectious and potentially fatal diseases. To maintain this immunity, the kittens and cats must be vaccinated once every 12 months. The vaccines will protect the cats from three infectious diseases - Feline enteritis, Cat Flu and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).

Dr Larissa is fantastic. I took my cat in knowing exaclty what the issue was, and the best course of action for him. Dr Larissa listened to, and validated me. I know that even if I had gone in not knowing the issue, Dr Larissa is obviously very knowledgeable and experienced and i feel comfortable in recommending her to all pet parents.
Bonus points for having buy now pay later options, for what we all know can be a very expensive and stressful service.

Our cat needed a vet-directed urgent follow-up check to ascertain the likelihood of organ failure due to crush injuries from a dog attack suffered on the weekend.
Due to an apparent shortage of vet staff, this clinic bluntly refused to see Tilly (even though we have used this clinic since moving to the area last year).
Thankfully we were able to find another vet who was more than willing to examine Tilly (especially when told of the reason for the required check). Neither that vet, nor the one who admitted Tilly over the weekend, could believe that Sherwood Vet refused to see her.

Failed to diagnose heamorrhagic gastroenteritis after two consults on consecutive days. Rushed my dog to emergency animal hospital where consulting vet tries to be impartial but subtlety tells me not to return to this suburban vet practice. Diagnosis should have been picked up day 1 but their vet had instead tried to sell me anti-anxiety homeopathic natural food remedy. Pretty sure my 8 yr old dog has never lost the entire contents of his stomach and bowel for two days straight over anxiety. Day 2 different vet writes (in notes, obtained for pet insurance) "owner highly

If I could give unlimited stars I would.
There's a difference between people doing just a job or something they love. Sherwood vet is in it for love of animals. They are very good on price as well. My fur baby couldn't be in better hands.

Our usual vet couldn't see our older dog who was struggling to walk and as Sherwood was the nearest Best for Pets vet I was so very grateful when they could fit us in on a Saturday morning no less. Very impressed with the staff from our initial phone enquiry to the vet we saw. Professional, warm and caring. If we lived closer I'd transfer our dogs care to them.

Thanks for following up - Sashi is doing vey well and I was really happy with the experience she had at the clinic. She was calm and almost her normal self when I got her home, unlike a previous vet visit where she had a horrible experience and was traumatised for days afterwards, wouldn't eat, couldn't sleep for longer than 30 minutes at a time, cried constantly and couldn't walk properly for nearly 3 days.
So thank you so much for taking such good care
