Our Customers

Meet our amazing customers. Here’s what they had to say about us.

Testimonials
Testimonial #3

“The extraordinary care shown to our big lad Dusty has been a comfort to us all, especially him! He is now both sitting and standing with ease, and no more scream/yelping. Gary and his empathetic staff make us feel as though our dog is as important to them as to us. Here he is at home in confinement (laundry), loving being back in the family, a great deal more comfortable than he was. He’s even wagging his tail again!!”

Melanie Bateson

Testimonial #4

“Gary is the best vet I have ever known and more like a friend than a vet. I've known Gary for a good 20 or so years now and he has treated many of my pets over the years, horses, dogs, cats, and seen me through some of my toughest times in saying goodbye to my babies. He will always go over and beyond to help your pets. I couldn't recommend Gary enough”

Joyce DB

Testimonial #7

“Gary is an outstanding vet and always goes above and beyond. I have two (very) problematic Bulldogs and have frequently been seeing Gary for 4 years now. He has so much time for his clients and his consults are thorough and never rushed. My dogs love going to visit and Gary and his staff always greet them with plenty of scratches and hugs. His prices are fantastic and Gary will do as much as possible to avoid expensive treatments, procedures and medications unless absolutely necessary. Gary has done multiple surgeries and procedures on my dogs and they have always recovered quickly and have had no issues. The clinic has fantastic facilities and the staff and nurses are always friendly and very helpful. I couldn't speak any higher of WoofPurNay!”

Testimonial #6

“Arthur the vet was just so lovely to my puppy Evie and myself. I highly recommend this vet to everyone. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Arthur the vet. Such a lovely human.”

Michelle Stuart

Testimonial #5

“Gary and his staff are absolutely fantastic. They did surgery within 2 days to save my girl when other vets that I have used for 10 years wouldn’t. I cannot recommend high enough. An amazing man with great great staff. Thank you so so much. 5 STARS.”

Chris Dcruz

Testimonial #2

“We have known Gary for many years and he is one of nature's gentlemen. He's genuine, kind and very knowledgable and has a true affinity with animals. Cannot recommend him and his team highly enough! So glad he's back doing what he does best! We know our pets are in good hands here.”

Susie Edmond

Testimonial #1

“I first met Gary many years ago when he treated my much loved cat. He showed enormous compassion and took excellent care of my boy who went on to live many more happy, healthy years. His honesty, knowledge and care cemented my willingness to follow him wherever he went and my current babies continue to receive his care. Cannot speak highly enough of this man both on a professional level and on a personal one. He deserves our full support to make WoofPurNay a great success!”

We now offer GapOnly

We’re excited to now offer GapOnly at our clinic, making your pet’s care even more accessible and stress‑free.

GapOnly allows you to claim your eligible pet insurance on the spot, so you only pay the “gap” between your invoice and your insurer’s contribution. It’s a simple way to reduce upfront costs and focus on what matters most — your pet’s health and comfort.

If you’d like to use GapOnly at your next visit, just let our team know and we’ll take care of the rest.

Puppy school & obedience classes

Did you know we offer puppy school and dog obedience classes? Our puppy school program runs for 5 consecutive weeks at our clinic on Wednesday nights. The cost of the class is $170 which is payable in full prior to the class commencing and to confirm your booking.

Call us to find out when the next class starts.

We also offer a beginners obedience class, plus an intermediate/advanced obedience class. Call us to find out more.

Puppy school is run by Liv from Klever K9 Dog Training who has been offering private and group training sessions for the past 3 years.

Bookings are essential. Call us to reserve your spot on 03 8784 4444 or click on the link below to find out more.
