Dear Dr Maria, Dr Josh and all the Staff at McDowall Vet, Thankyou all for your excellent care of Daisy, and your care and understanding of me. From the moment we walk in the door, we are always met with a warm welcome and pats, cuddles and treats for Daisy, it's no wonder she loves coming to the vet. Thankyou also for making an appointment available for Daisy straight away after my call yesterday afternoon, this was very much appreciated and alleviated my concerns for Daisy. I am hoping that she will be back to her cheeky/crazy self soon. After loosing my best friend Molly last year, I never thought I would be able to love another dog as much as her. The thought of anything happening to Daisy or her been unwell, makes me very worried and stressed. Thankyou for your patience with me, and explaining everything so clearly about Daisy's treatment. I wouldn't trust Daisy's care to anyone else. Thanks again. Kind regards. Debbie and Daisy

Most professional and friendliest Vet. Dr Rob has an amazing team of staff members that are the loveliest bunch of people. They love the animals and humans alike. Our 2 Poodle puppies actually love going to the vet, as the staff at Mcdowall are always up for cuddles. Highly recommend them!!!!

We have taken our 2 dogs and 1 cat to see Dr Lauren and she has been nothing short of fantastic. I'm a foster carer for a rescue group so I've been to my fair share of vets across Brisbane, and Dr Lauren has been the most knowledgeable and honest vet I have seen. Dr Lauren always took time to explain treatment options with us and seemed to genuinely care for our pets. We never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision. I thank her and your team for taking such great care of our pets.

You couldn't wish for a better team of people to look after your pets from the vets, who definitely know their stuff, through to the support staff who are always welcoming and helpful. Everyone is interested and show that they enjoy their jobs. We are grey nomads now, previously from Everton Hills, with two travelling Chihuahuas and even now McDowall Vets are continuing their great service to us by being available on the phone and communicating with other vets around the country, as necessary, for our aging dogs. Denzel, who has recently recovered from Leukemia and Connie, who lives with a heart condition, are thoroughly enjoying nomadic life around Australia thanks to the staff at McDowall Vets. Our sincere thanks to all of you.

I had to have my beautiful cat Misty euthanized last week and I cant express how grateful I was to the staff at this wonderful practice. I had my Misty with me for 23 years and he was my best friend so I was a mess to say the least but their kind words helped me so much. I had not been to this practice before so I was not 100% sure but I will be going there forever more. They asked me if I would like to hold Misty while he went to sleep and I am so glad that I did just knowing I was with him until he was asleep. They even sent me a card of sympathy which was so thoughtful. The practice is so clean and fresh and even their fees were very reasonable. Thank you so much for everything. Coralie and Katherine

My girl is a rescue dog, who is almost 10. She is more than precious to me, so I was devastated when her usual vet practice closed down. We used another vet but didn't feel particularly welcomed. Then I decided to take Opal to McDowall Vet surgery for her vaccinations. I knew I had found the right place when we walked through the door. The vet nurse was so welcoming and treated Opal to lots of pats and genuine interest. All the staff were great and the pricing was competitive. I am more than happy with the advice and professionalism that goes along with this friendly practice.

We had the unfortunate decision to put down our 17 y.o. dog - we've been attending the practice with both our dogs since we moved to McDowall in late 2006. After a discussion with our children, we opted to have it done at home. Our vet Jennifer and her vet nurse Emma were happy to come to our house and were fantastic. They explained the process and whilst sad, it was much better than we expected.

Hello to a team that is beyond words. Today I had the dreaded task of picking up my Lizzie's ashes. Driving to you I was imagining all the things I was going to say to you all but upon seeing the bag with her in, words escaped me. I wanted to say thank you. Not just for the end, but for being there for Lizzie and I through all her ailments and concerns. Thank you for putting hers and my heart before revenue and caring about us above all. Lizzie and I had 16 years together and travelled locally, interstate and internationally. Having been to many vets over her life, I can only recommend the care and passion you all have displayed. You ALL genuinely care and that, I cherish. I cherish knowing I said good bye to my best friend knowing she was loved to the end by you all too. Sorry I didn't get to say this today but I wanted you to know that ur team is second to none. Thank you doesn't seem enough. RIP Lizzie Cross. 1999-2015 xxx

We've been taking our cats to Dr Rob, Tara and the gang for the last 5 years. They've not only looked after our cats health needs in a caring and professional manner, but also provided excellent advice for behavioural issues we've had along the way - advice that works! The whole team at McDowall Vet's help us to provide our cats with better quality lives and we're truly grateful for their care. I highly recommend them! I wouldn't go anywhere else, myself.

The team at McDowall Veterinary Practice are the most professional & caring group of people I have had the pleasure to meet. Over recent weeks we have had a daily encounter with them to care for our cat, Taz. Whilst the outcome has not been what we were all striving for our family has come to know everyone at the practice and seen firsthand how much they care and want a successful outcome. Josh is an extremely professional, caring and knowledgeable vet and our family cannot thank him enough for his work.

The most wonderful vet practise that you can imagine Rob, lauren and all the lovely girls that work there make you feel so at ease. Bruce and I would highly recommend this lovely vet practise and we will be taking all our pets here for a long time to come.

My dogs are much loved family members and so I want the best care for them. Maddy & Toby are 12 now and both love a visit to the vet which is more frequent than we would wish due to Maddys ability to become ill with challenging conditions and critical situations. Tara looks after my two and she is everything and more would ask for in a vet. Tara is gentle kind compassionate caring and knowledgeable and is always prepared to go the extra mile. Rob sets the tone for the practice and it is truly excellent. I could go on for hours about his caring and many kindnesses. Lets not forget the staff who are absolutely wonderful and who deserve so much praise. My dogs have been going to this practice for many years. The highest compliment I can pay any practice is that I CONTINUE TO TRUST THE CARE OF MY LITTLE ONES TO MCDOWALL VET PRACTICE. Thanks Rob, Tara and staff.

Dr Rob has been looking after our Molly (14.5) for the last 12 months. We cannot fault the patient care he and all the staff have and are continuing to provide our little senior citizen through her health issues. It is very clear to us that her well being is of the most importance to Rob. She takes her visits in her stride and is quite relaxed as all the staff take the time to greet her. Not only does Rob look after Molly, he treats us with the utmost respect and fully understands Molly is like our third child. We are facing a worrying time going forward and we are so grateful we have Rob to guide us through. Our only regret is that we did not find Rob and his practice sooner. We particularly look forward to reading about the pet of the day on Facebook and would recommend Rob and his team to anyone who has a fury child.

Thank you Rob, for the expert and profession caring service that you give my 15 year old Birman baby who has had kidney failure for the last 4 years. Because of your thorough examination of Sassy, she is still enjoying life and chasing ribbons. She is my best friend. Thank you also to the caring staff at McDowall Vets who always come over to Sassy and Suzanne even has a cuddle every time wee visit. Cant express my appreciation enough and thorough recommend this practice for your pet. Thank you Rob.
24 May 2014
This practice is one that I would highly recommend and are lucky to have come across them. Rob, Tara and the team down there have been a great help when we had one very very sick baby BamBam! they not only look after your babies they help us fur parents! I will never use another clinic again after now finding you!!

My darling little puppy Harvey 6 months old was rushed to the vet last week in shock. We didn't know what was wrong with him. Rob checked him over and advised us that Harvey was in Cardiac arrest. We all thought he wouldn't survive. Rob said he would look after him and be in contact as soon as he had any news. We thought we would loose Harvey …. which was made even more painful to accept as he was only a puppy. Within two hours Rob called us and after a few tests discovered that Harvey had a twisted stomach and would be fine if he got through the next 24 hours. The care and attention they gave our little fella was unbelievable. They kept us updated with his progress and my broken heart was gradually put back together piece by piece. Rob ,Tara and their team were honest, professional , caring and understanding . I'm so happy I chose this practice for my three pets and I highly recommend them to all pet owners. AMAZING staff….. Thank you all

My dog is seen here, and overall the experience is pretty good. The staff are friendly, the premises are clean, and the advice is not too over the top. (i.e they don't tend to flog you too much extra stuff).

chrissyb2 from Aspley
Last week, my beautiful little dog Pippi lost her fight with kidney disease . During the past 6 months Dr Rob and Dr Tara were positive and extremely caring with helping Pippi through some tough times . Pippi won everybody over with her beautiful eyes and the staff at McDowall Vet gave her so much attention that I felt comfortable knowing Pippi was being well looked after during her overnight and day stays while she was having treatments. I am extremely grateful to all the staff for their genuine care for Pippi and also the after care given to myself and my family. The care given by McDowall Vet Practice not only looks after our pets but extends to the family. I highly recommend these beautiful people to take care of your pets.

Recently our puppy had a paralysis tick. We took her to McDowall vets. The vets and nurses have her the best care possible. They really care about their animals and because of their expert care, our puppy has returned home, happy and healthy. Thanks you so much to everyone at McDowall Veterinary Practice!! Especially Dr Tara!!

With our2 kittens, we initially took them to another vet which was closer to home. Dissatisfied from the care they received, we sent them to see Rob. What a difference! This vet really takes care of animals with a level of care that our babies deserve Thanks Elise

Rob and the girls at McDowall Vet Practice really step outside the square. They all made such a fuss over our baby today - we were in for 16 week injections and all of the girls gave Rowdy a cuddle and play and were interested in our story. Not to mention, the professionalism inside the vet room when he had his check up and routine injections. Some very helpful advice was offered in terms of diet and obedience, also. Thanks again Rob. You came highly recommended by several friends and, after a very sad and negative experience at our previous vet, this is a great change.

We were recommended and our expections were exceeded, as our dog had a terrible skin allergie, within days improved out of sight. Can not recommend more highly. Fantastic team that bent of backwards.

We have been bringing our beloved pets to McDowall Veterinary Practice since 2006 and would not go anywhere else. The compassion, professionalism and genuine love of animals is evident from the minute you walk through the door. Thank you Dr Rob for helping us recently with the difficult decision to let our beautiful dog Simba pass only two weeks after our gentle giant Indy decided for himself that his time was up. Two gorgeous Ridgebacks that received the best care and attention that any pet owner could want. We now have a 3rd Ridgeback as a new member to the family and he has already made new friends at McDowall Veterinary Practice. Thanks to the whole team. Kath & Dave York

juliannemeggie from Mcdowall
I would like to commend the McDowall Vet Practice for being a most compassionate and caring team of vets and veterinary nurses. They took our little pet through from a tiny little pup to her eventual final days at the age of 12. Every time they were welcoming, showed genuine warmth and love for her. In her last few days the empathy and care they showed our family of 5 adults, crying and despairing whilst me made a very difficult decision was amazing. Thank you for doing what you do SO well and being their for Meggie.

I can not sing their praises enough_ counter staff,vets...all amazing,caring,professional and compassionate. A special shout-out for Dr.Rob Heath for sensitivity[I was a blubbering mess] and his gentle manner. The staff @ McDowall Veterinary Practice won our trust. Even though we had a huge unexpected expense ,these guys only charged relatively basic costs,I am so impressed. Even the animals aren't scared when they go there! Howzat! [though Wilson does protest at his cat cage,and the car ride!]

Thanks to all the great staff at McDowall Vet who have been involved with the care of our Staffy, Ruby. She had some complex health issues recently, and Rob explained our options very thoroughly. Ruby still gets excited when she goes in to the clinic, & I really appreciate everyone's care.

Everyone at McDowall Veterinary Practice has gone out of their way to look after us and, more importantly, our dog Ziggi and he has certainly presented some challenges over the past few years. Whenever we are there, we feel like their most important customers. They are patient, interested, caring, responsive and professional. Very lucky and very pleased to have them close by.

geko from Everton Park
I have been taking my two canine kids to Rob & Tara for just over a year now, after 6 months of stressful and costly dealings with a previous vet and absolutely no answers to show for it. I was determined to find a new vet, and rang McDowall vets and spoke with Rob about bringing my dogs and their previous test results to their practice, they pinpointed the health issues within the first consult, and I finally had some answers. From the very first phone call, Rob and Tara and the team at McDowall have been very supportive, understanding and always make the time to sit down and discuss results and options with me. Everyone at the practice is exceptional both on a professional and personal level. Myself and my canines will be forever grateful to everyone at McDowall vets for this past year, and for the years to come.

We have been taking our dogs to Rob & his team for over 10 years now. We recently lost our little Phoebe (Maltise/Bischon). Rob's professionalism and personal support during this ordeal really helped us get through it. We can't speak highly enough about Mcdowall Veterinary Practice. These guys really love what they do!

Rob and the team at McDowall Veterinary Practice have been our friends for some years now. We have two 12-year-old Burmese cats. Monty has renal failure and has needed a lot of special care, we thought we would loose him but thanks to Rob and his passion for his job, Monty has been given an extended life. All Vets at this practice are equally great, and we can whole heartily recommend the team at McDowall Veterinary Practice they are all exceptionally devoted to their clients (Pets and Owners) and go beyond just being Vets.

milliebelle from Mcdowall
All of the staff at McDowall Vet have been wonderful to us. Their diagnosis is always spot on, Rob picked up a tumor in my dog that another vet had missed, all of the staff were very compassionate when we lost her. It has been unfortunate that my new puppy has hip dysplasia, but I can't say enough for the way everyone has been. Rob explained everything thoroughly to us and listened to any questions we had for him in regards to her surgery. Tara called us as soon as her surgery was finished to let us know how she was doing and was there when we picked her up to go through all of the post surgery treatment. They are happy for you to ring if you have any concerns about your pet. We are absolutely over the moon with our dogs progress, you would never know that she has had anything wrong with her hip, I am so happy that I found this vet and feel at ease when my dogs are in their care.

For many years now we have always taken our dogs to the McDowall Vet Practice. We have always been very impressed by the time, dilgence and care taken by all the staff when treating our three dogs. There have been times when I've needed an appointment at short notice and I've always been seen and the follow up care is second to none. We whole heartly recommend this professional and lovely Vet Practice.

All the staff at McDowall Veterinary Practice are lovely and caring of my two Miniature Schnauzers. My female dog is now almost 16 years old while my boy is almost 12. Rob and his team have looked after both my dogs for most of their lives and now that my dogs are geriactrics they continue to provide as always the gentle care that has kept me coming for all these years.

Going to a veterinary surgery with a sick animal can be a stressful experience but Rob and his team always make it as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. My children love going with our dog "Nelson" as Rob always takes the time to show the kids what he is doing and why. "Nelson" loves the attention and tasty treats so it's a win win situation all round.

Rob and his Team at McDowall Vets are very professional and caring. I have been taking my cat there for 13 years and wouldn't go anywhere else. My cat has some serious health problems and Rob has explained the situation thoroughly and options available. The team are very caring and its obvious that they have a genuine love of animals. Thank you Rob, Jess, Emma & Laura for the great service.

We have been taking our dogs to McDowall Veterinary Practice since they were puppies and wouldn't go anywhere else. Rob and the team really care about our pets. They take the time to explain things and discuss options for care and prevention so that we can come to the solution that's best for us and best for our dogs. We highly recommend McDowall Veterinary Practice.

I have been a client of McDowall Veterinary Practice for the past 6 years. Rob,Jenny,Tara and team have consistently provided professional care and demonstrated a genuine love for their work when treating my treasured furry family members. Their empathy, support and care was exceptional when one of my dogs passed last year after battling with illness. I can wholeheartedly recommend McDowall Veterinary Practice.

We are not often moved to post comments online, but when it comes to Rob and the team, a glowing report is very well deserved. Having been through a few trying times with our dogs recently, their ongoing caring and dedicated approach to both us and our dogs was second to none. We couldn't recommend them more highly.

All the staff at McDowell Vet Practice are wonderful and make our family feel very welcome and cared for every time we walk through the door. They were a great comfort when we recently lost our 15yo dog and they correctly found the solution to an ongoing problem with my 8yo dog's leg - an issue that had been misdiagnosed by another vet for 4 years! We are so happy and relieved to have found a vet who we can trust and who treats our dogs with great care. Brent, Paul, Zac & Millie

As a long time visitor to McDowall Veterinary Practice with my aging diabetic canine family member, who requires regular checkups, I cannot fault this practice. They are all highly experienced in what they do and I love the friendly atmosphere. Rob & the team are the most caring people you could ever hope to meet. I travel 25 kls each way on a regular basis to visit this Vet because I know that my aging canine is getting the very best care. Thank you McDowall Vet Practice.

We have been with the practice at McDowell for several years. They are not only our family vets but as a professional dog groomer they are my recommended Veterinary Practice. What impresses me most is the continuity of care. They not only treat your animal but they follow up. On several occasions we have received phone calls to check the progress of recovering pets. The staff know us and all our pets by name and I always feel confident in placing our precious fir babies in their hands Highly recommend !! Aunty Margs Grooming
