About us

We are a family based family pet care veterinary hospital, but don't be fooled by our size.  We are packed with up to date veterinary equipment, including veterinary dentistry, digital radiographs & x-ray equipment, digital dental radiographs, ultrasound, a fully equipped operating theatre with two gaseous anaesthetic machines, with advanced surgivet monitoring equipment for safe anaesthetics, fluid pumps, and on site veterinary pathology laboratory.           

Dr Liz, a veterinarian with over 35 years of experience, is the primary care physician for every pet that we see.  The individual care every pet deserves.  

We are experienced in many medical and surgical cases and refer to specialists when necessary. But we are not for every pet owner - if you want a place that will be honest with you, like family, then that is us. If you want someone who will tell you what you want to hear, even if it is not in your pet's best interest, then we are not the vet or vet hospital for you. 

We genuinely care for our pets and their loving pet owners. I am Dr Liz, the mad vet from Bellambi, and we would love to have you and your pet part of our animal clinic family

Liz and Dirk are great. Not only do they treat your animal as their own but they genuinely love their jobs. We could not have asked for better from them for the last 14 years. They knew our beautiful dog from Puppy Preschool at 6 weeks until she passed away at 14 (with tears from us all!!). Liz's advice is always unbiased and she always gives you options (if available) so you can make the best decision for your pet. We will definitely go back when we get a new puppy.

Terrible experience. Confused as to why our appointments were so different to the other reviews. Chaotic atmosphere, poor communication. Didn't complete what they said they would. No effort nor compassion. Could NOT recommend their service at all. Truly disappointing.

Liz genuinely loves animals and neither of my two dogs have ever had issues about going into see her. She is always upfront with costs and her work is top notch

I am more than happy with the professional and caring way they are with my animals. I would recommend them to everyone. They help with weight management and dental care at no extra cost and really want to help.

Thank you for your kind words.

Dr Liz has been our vet for a long time now and I will never change. We live at shellharbour but still travel to Russell Vale to see her. To find a veterinary practice that loves their jobs and loves their patients is a rare find. Thankyou to Dr Liz, Dirk and team for always being there and treating our furr babies like they are one of their own. You are an awesome practice.

I moved to the Illawarra in January. My cat is part of my family, she is SO important to me. I had a bad experience at another Big Vet Clinic in this area , so today I took her to Russell Vale Animal Clinic. Dirk and Liz could not have been more welcoming and kind. They explained everything to me and took all my cat's history and put it on file. ( The other Vet Clinic did not ask about her medical history. As a Nurse that alarmed me!!) Dirk and Liz were so kind to my cat Julie Bertolucci, Liz explained her injury to me,and told me exactly what was happening. I am so thrilled to find a Vet that loves Pets and People and took such great care of my beautiful Julie. They went above and beyond, I highly recommend them to anyone for great affordable Pet care. Thank you Dr Liz !!

Thank you, I feel safe now knowing Julie is in such good hands. The bad experience at the big Vet Clinic down here really upset me. Thank you again.

My daughter recommended me to the Russel Vale Animal Clinic. I have been extremely impressed with the way Dr Liz cares for my animals-with empathy, compassion and love. She treats each one as if it was her own beloved pet and I have complete trust in her diagnoses and after-care advice. She's an angel.

My cat had a yearly check-up and vaccinations. You can see the staff in the clinic are very interested in your pet's wellbeing. The doctor is passionate about animals. My cat received a very detailed check-up, although she is a healthy animal in general, plus she got her teeth checked! I had a few questions regarding my pet and all of them were answered clearly.

Have been taking our cat and dog here since they were babies . Both 7 years old now . Have moved house twice since further out of the area , but would never go anywhere else. Now have to travel about 40 mins to get there but changing vets is not a consideration. Liz and Dirk have created a real family atmosphere . I feel like they love our pets as much as we do . Liz is always furthering her studies and is up to date on all the latest treatments and advice . All charges are reasonable. Liz always has great advice on behavioural issues. She was not even fazed when 6 yrs ago my teenage dog cocked his leg and peed on her , very embarrassing . This is the veterinary clinic for you if you want care that looks after your animals and you . The clinic is full of love and kindness . Dr Liz is a great vet with a big heart and has good taste in assistants.

These guys really went out of their way for our lost dog.

She was microchipped, but we had moved and forgotten to change our address and phone numbers. The Vet tracked us down and held her until we could go in and get her.

He offered free advice on a lump he noticed on her, had fed her and she was VERY happy. He wouldn't accept any money for food.

While the vet was very "intense" and we did feel very chastised about not changing her rego, I love that he is so passionate about his work and animals.

This will be our new vet for all our animals.
