Cheltenham Veterinary Clinic

The team at Cheltenham Vet Clinic were so kind and helpful when my 17 year old cat got sick and ultimately needed to be put down. I appreciate the knowledge and care from Dr Cindy in giving me all the information I needed and for the rest of the team that were so friendly at all times.I highly recommend the team and will bring any future pets I have here.

I cannot speak highly enough of Cheltenham Vet Clinic and would recommend them to anyone seeking a vet clinic that provides the utmost care for your pets. Dr David Stasiuk has looked after my two beautiful british short hair cats Ruprecht and Sookie from when I first got them. On one particular occasion my cat Sookie was horrifically mauled by a dog and had to undergo emergency surgery and a facial reconstruction. The whole team so so quick to respond and attend to her needs, and Dr Stasiuk not only saved her life, but performed a very complicated and delicate surgery that involved having to reattach her skin back to her jaw. Now you could never tell that she has even experienced any kind of trauma as she has healed up beautifully and was back to the same Sookie we knew and loved within a few weeks.I am so grateful to Dr Stasiuk for his amazing surgical skills and his wonderful team for their continued support and care of my beloved fur babies!

We have been with Cheltenham Vet Clinic for over 13 years now. I have always understood that there are Vet clinics that treat their practice as a business and then there are those that have a genuine love for the animals in their care. Cheltenham Vet is most definitely the later, with a team of amazing staff who treat my dogs with love and respect. Our primary vet, David S has given two of our now sadly departed bulldogs the absolute best care they could possibly have had throughout their lives. There has never been a push for unnecessary procedures, tests or surgeries and any that did need to be performed (especially with Barney’s complicated health history) were referred on to an in-house bulldog vet or a specialist surgical practice if David felt that this would be safer for a brachy breed. The brief time we did stray to a specialist bulldog vet practice on misguided advice and the belief that a “Bulldog” clinic may be better, there was a world of difference in the personalised approach to animal care and level of compassion we received. Although in no way “bad”, it did feel like a bit of an animal production line situation where the vet never recognised me nor my pet. We soon returned to Cheltenham where I trust implicitly that David and team always have my dogs best interests at heart. Thank you so much for taking care of Oscar yesterday morning and letting him cross the rainbow bridge with dignity, patience and compassion even though we did not have an appointment. He was comfortable and loved by everyone in the room until his very last breath. Thank you also for the beautiful flowers and card received this afternoon, they were very much appreciated. We will continue to bring Monty and any other future pets to Cheltenham as we know the level of care will be the best in Melbourne.

We switched to Cheltenham Vets after a terrible experience with a different vet nearby.Dr Stasiuk and his team have been so kind and caring. We had to make the heart breaking decision to put our beautiful elderly Great Dane to sleep recently. Dr Stasiuk took such great care of her and was so supportive. He advised us about a home euthanasia service so our baby could pass peacefully in the comfort of our home.We feel so much comfort knowing she was cared for so well by the Team at Cheltenham Vets, and have been so touched by the kindness shown to us following her passing.If you are looking for a good caring Vet, this is definitely the place to go.

I take my guinea-pigs here for less complex piggie vet needs. Dr David (sorry don't know last name) is compassionate and caring, and has lot's of experience with piggies. It is quick to get in (you can wait a long time for exotic vet) and half the cost.

The best most welcoming vet. Everytime I have taken my kitty to this vet they feel like family. They all show such a genuine care for all animals and patients. Every visit has been rewarding for my kitty and I always have peace of mind knowing she is in the hands of such kind professionals. I now live in the city and still make the trip down to this vet! A big thank you! Boodhi and Tara xx

I took my big puppy Oscar to check his twisted arm a month ago, Dr Cindy gave him a nice and patient check. Also translated some difficult words into Chinese for me on computer, made me fully understand what happened to my puppy and how to treat him well at home. I did it according to Dr Cindy’s advice and Oscar recovered in only one week. I kept doing in two weeks as Dr Cindy said and Oscar now is fully recovered and back to a normal big boy as usual.Many thanks to Cheltenham Vet clinic and Dr Cindy. Highly recommended!

I followed Dr David Wilson from another vet clinic to Cheltenham Vet Clinic when he and Dr David Stasiuk started their own practice at this clinic many years ago. I have been a visitor often weekly, sometimes daily, and at least once a month for so many years with all my pets. And the care both Davids provide to my pets is exceptional.Dr Wilson has known some of my oldest pets including those who have now passed on as long as I’ve had them. He’s been there when I rescued them and when they’ve gone to sleep. Dr Wilson cares for my pets as though they are his own. And words in a review like this, on his Christmas and other thank you cards will never be enough to express how much I respect him and appreciate him for caring for my 16 yo Emmy pup or 24 yo Bessie cat with all his heart. And Tully, Gretel, Patrick, Poppy, Finnegan and Bridget. He is steadfast, thorough, gentle, smart, kind, warm and most of all, has such integrity.Dr Stasiuk has also been there in some of the hardest moments of my pets’ lives. Treating my very old Emmy dog with vestibular, he was encouraging and confident it would pass. And it did. Being there with Emmy at the end he was so gentle,, kind and respectful. He also helped save one of my dog’s Iives by sending me straight to the emergency vets for critical care after a quick check of Poppy’s gums one morning before opening time after she had been sick. Such quick thinking, a reflection of his years of experience, helped to save Poppy’s life.Both Dr Wilson and Dr Stasiuk are helping treat my now 13 yo Poppy pup. They’ve dealt with other specialists including Poppy’s cardiologist and vet acupuncturist to help Poppy be as healthy and comfortable as possible in her senior years. They are truly an exceptional partnership.And the entire team of vet nurses and reception are second to none. They love my dogs and my cats as their own and are warm, funny, kind and so caring including towards me. Laurene, Lara, Becca, Chrissy and Maria have been such constants in all our lives and we consider them friends. We all adore them. And are so thankful for each of them.I honestly can’t say enough about Dr Wilson, Dr Stasiuk, Laurene and all the vet nurses. Thank you for all you do for my tribe of darlings. And me.

What a great experience! Today I took my 8 week old kitten in for her overall health check and first immunisation and all I can say is that I will not consider going anywhere else!Whilst on the phone actually making the appointment earlier during the week, I had a great conversation with the receptionist, Laurene. Laurene was very helpful and answered my questions without hassle.Laurene, a second receptionist and the vet, Billy (I believe), greeted us with smiles the second we walked in. Billy treated Jessie so well and I think she really liked her experience just as much as we did!Eleni

We have just had to send our beautiful cat over the rainbow bridge and the Doctor and staff could not have been any more caring. I did not go to the vets very often but I always went to Cheltenham Vets, wouldn't go anywhere else. You will never find nicer or more caring people.
