DOG BOARDING
For Dog Boarding we recommend the Hanrob Pet Hotels. Where you can arrange Free Pick up and Drop off from our clinic.
Pet Insurance
We recommend pet insurance to give you peace of mind when your pet is ill. Please don’t wait until your pet has been diagnosed with a problem. Once a condition is pre-existing it is too late to get any benefit for this disorder from your pet insurance. One of the conditions most commonly claimed for is skin allergies and tick paralysis.
Although we do not recommend one particular pet insurance company we are able to sign-up any cat or dog from 8 weeks of age to 12 months of age for 4weeks FREE COVER whilst you do your research and decide which insurance company is best for you.

Lawrence actually did work experience here with Dr Martine when he was as a young Barker Student in year 11 and it was then that he set his sights on Veterinary Medicine. After completing high school he jumped straight into the combined Bachelor of Veterinary Biology and the Doctor of Veterinary Science at the University of Sydney. Now, having finished his degree and having graduated from the University of Sydney Lawrence has returned to us at the clinic as a full-time Veterinarian.
Having worked at a busy aquarium during his first few years of veterinary school he was initially very focused on aquatic medicine. Since completing his final years at University and working in several busy small animal clinics he has gained a strong focus in small animal medicine and surgery!
Lawrence has quickly become an integral member of the team and is enjoying working at Pymble Veterinary Clinic immensely, appreciating the mentorship that the senior veterinarians provide.
