Medical > Vets
Established in 1962, Hornsby Veterinary Hospital is one of the oldest Veterinary practices in Sydney. In 2000 the hospital was demolished and a purpose-built Veterinary Hospital was designed to accommodate the high standard of Veterinary care that everyone at Hornsby Veterinary Hospital wanted to provide. We are proud that our hospital enables us to provide you and your family with an excellent standard of veterinary care. Our team has a burning love for animals. We have all undertaken this profession to care, nurture and heal pets of all shapes and sizes. We aim to combine our professionalism and skill with this innate love for animals to provide the best care for our patients and exceptional service to our clients. We strive to be approachable to all our clients and promote a friendly, caring environment. The human animal bond is an unbelievable relationship and we wish to foster this in all that we do. Our team looks forward to meeting you and your pets.
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. There is also a risk that fighting, and mating behaviour can transmit diseases, such as Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukaemia Virus in cats (to which there is currently no cure).
