Thomastown Veterinary Clinic

Thomastown Veterinary Clinic describes itself as a second-generation, family-run practice established in 1987 and focused exclusively on companion animals. The website highlights “advanced modern medicine and surgery,” with in-house digital X‑rays and a grooming parlour, and it’s listed as a Gold accredited Cat Friendly Clinic.

From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe smooth routine visits (including vaccination and microchipping) and prompt help in urgent situations (one review describes the clinic taking a dog straight back in and treating injuries immediately after a dog attack). A major point of conflict is around end-of-life decisions: one reviewer alleges their cat was euthanised without enough effort to find an owner because the cat wasn’t microchipped, while another describes a vet diagnosing a large stomach tumour and providing compassionate euthanasia when surgery wouldn’t resolve the illness.
