We have been bringing our pets to Vet Hq in Darlinghurst for almost a decade because, simply, they are the best! Dr Jess Green treats all her patients with thoroughness, compassion and true care. The entire nursing team are also spectacular and we will not be taking our pets anywhere else as long as Vet Hq is around.

FAQs for our Vet HQ family

How often should my pet have a health check?

Most pets benefit from a full health check at least once a year. Seniors and pets with chronic conditions or certain breeds may require more frequent visits. We’ll let you know what’s best for your pet’s stage of life.

What pet vaccinations do you recommend?

We follow Australian vaccination guidelines for dogs and cats and tailor schedules based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors. At each appointment, your vet will discuss what’s due and why.

Do you offer pet dental checks and cleaning?

Yes, dental care is part of our routine services. We offer dental assessments, scaling and polishing procedures, and advanced dental treatments when required. Regular checks help prevent pain and long-term disease.

Do you provide pet preventive care for ageing pets?

Yes. Both clinics offer senior health checks, mobility support, pain management, and geriatric-focused nursing care. Our upcoming rehab and physio services will further support older pets at Double Bay.

Can you help a pet with behaviour concerns?

Yes, we offer behaviour consultations for everyday issues like anxiety, toileting changes, and settling new pets. If needed, we can refer to trusted trainers or external behaviour specialists.

Do you offer nutrition or weight-management advice for pet owners?

Absolutely. We can tailor feeding plans, run weight-loss programs, and support pets that require nutrition adjustments due to age, allergies, or medical conditions. Our rehab program at Double Bay also supports exercise-based weight management.
