Smith Street Vet Hospital

Veterinary clinic in Chatswood with Gold Cat-Friendly accreditation

Smith Street Vet Hospital is a purpose-built veterinary clinic located on the corner of Smith and High Street in Chatswood, New South Wales. It opened its doors in 2005 under the name Chatswood Vetfriends and today operates with a team of veterinarians and nurses who, according to their own presentation, care for pets as if they were their own. The clinic describes itself as a tight-knit and close team.

Its approach to care focuses on improving animals' quality of life through high-quality clinical care, up-to-date knowledge and equipment, while keeping owners informed with clear, personal communication. The clinic holds a Gold Cat-Friendly accreditation awarded by the International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM), which means its facilities have been redesigned and its staff trained to reduce stress for feline patients during visits.

Veterinary services

The clinic offers general consultations, dentistry, desexing and cat boarding, among other services. Care is complemented by a close relationship with Willoughby Veterinary Hospital, allowing collaboration and access to additional resources and expertise when needed. It also maintains links with a specialist and 24-hour hospital: the clinic is equipped to care for pets overnight, but when intensive care is required, it can be provided by North Shore Veterinary Hospital, which also offers a pet ambulance service.

Team and customer care

The team is led by Alex, lead veterinarian, with Brandi as practice manager, plus Ella and Tiffany as animal attendants. The clinic presents itself as a friendly, experienced team dedicated to caring for pets as part of the family. Amenities for owners include designated parking underneath the clinic.

Service area

Thanks to its location in Chatswood, the clinic is a popular choice for pets from Chatswood, Roseville, Middle Cove, Willoughby, Castlecrag, Lindfield and their surrounding suburbs.

Consultation hours

The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. It is closed on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
