I have always found Hamish and the vet support team super friendly, attentive and caring. Special thanks to Catherine and the team today who had to pump my Pugs stomach after he got into a box of Favourties. Not an ideal job but no complaints. I've found the service reasonably priced too compared to other vets and the long opening hours help with booking appointments. - 02/11/20
The staff are so incredibly friendly, happy to help and reciprocate the same love that we have for our own pets. Blakehurst Vet not only has impeccable customer service, but it is also an inviting and clean veterinary clinic. The vets are so thorough and go into depth with all their service and explanations, the passion for their profession truly shows. - 20/10/20
Wouldn't take my pets anywhere else. My Aussies always hated the vets but now they find it a pleasant experience. Hamish and the staff are wonderful. They are not over priced and they will take the time to look after each pet and their individual needs. My boys enjoy going to the vet! They are great with our blind pup. I appreciate the follow up phone calls to see if everything is ok. Thank you to all the staff. - 23/09/20
I love this place. Have been coming here since my dog was a pup - he is 11 now and we wouldn't go anywhere else. The vets and nurses really know what their doing and are very kind. Everyone is super welcomming and know my boy so well. He is never scared or worried about going to vet. Highly recommended. - 03/09/20
Everyone is amazing! You all are so understanding and supportive! Tass & I are first time fur-parents and each day is a learning curve for us both. For the time we met Ally at Puppy Pre-School, we knew we were at the right & best Vet in Sydney! Hamish is wonderful as well as Catherine! The whole team at Blakehurst Vet is above and beyond! Boston loves you all and loves visiting you guys! Love the supportive environment :) - 30/07/20
I visited this vet for the first time for my 2 year old cats skin issues. The Nurse and the Vet were extremely warm and friendly. The nurse took the initiative to retrieve my cats medical history from her previous vet which I believe is important and I haven’t had other clinics do this before. The vet was very thorough and informative and offered several avenues of help. He was very warm and friendly with my little one which I appreciate. He took his time with explaining everything in detail and answered all of my questions. The clinic was clean and inviting, I loved the spa music in the waiting room and appreciated the seperate cat and dog waiting area. I will definitely be bringing my cat back here and make this her regular vet. - 30/07/20
Hamish is always so patient and thorough - he is so great with my dog she actually likes coming to the vet! The level of service is fantastic, right from the moment you step in the door. Reception staff are so friendly and helpful, and then during the consult nothing is too much trouble. Just a really great experience - always has been - 08/07/20
Very professional and caring practice highly recommended to look after your fur and feathered children. A very knowledgeable, informative and caring team. The advice and care for my dog when he injured his leg led to his surgery which greatly improved his health and wellbeing. He is like a puppy all over again he is so happy. - 06/07/20
For many years my sister and I have taken our pets to Hamish and his team to look after. Hamish is the most caring vet and looks after them as if they were his own. He has a great team working with him and I feel comfortable Leaving them knowing they are in a safe and professional environment. - 20/06/20

Very happy with our visit this morning. It was the first time we had met Catherine and were struck by her warmth, gentleness and professionalism. All the nurses were so friendly and obliging including quickly cleaning up the area where our puppy had an "accident". We're so happy we had Bkakehurst vet recommended to us. Having everything explained so clearly and the caring manner in which Zoie is attended to. - 02/06/20
The staff are exceptional. Karla is amazing but all the staff take great care of our 2 elderly cats. Both Hamish and Catherine have always provided wonderful care and advice. my cats are very senior and all the staff take their age into account and are able to accomodate even my silly requests - 02/06/20

We’ve been taking our cats to Hamish for many years and we love the care and attention we and our kitties receive at Blakehurst Vet.We recently also had one of our cats stay at the cat hotel. Whilst the cat didn’t appreciate being away from us for a week, it was very clear how much all the staff cared for our cat during his stay and were very attentive to his needs. - 23/01/20

How to begin this, how to say thank you to a team of people that have loved and cared for your animal as much as you did. 14 years ago we met Dr Hamish when we brought our scrawny rescue in and with his help we had a wonderful cat named Bruce. We have been seeing him ever since for regular check ups to emergencies and everything in between. Our trust in him never wavered and his advice was always welcome. This last year has been our hardest with Bruce becoming older and requiring a lot of extra attention. Hamish and his staff have gone above and beyond to help us, answering questions and accommodating her needs. When it was time to make the hard decisions he was kind and patient. He allowed her to have dignity in her final moments and as much as we have lost a friend, I would like to thank Hamish and his staff for everything they did for Bruce. - 23/07/19
Hamish is such a great vet who has an exceptional team working for him. Professional, caring and knowledgeable. We attended Puppy School and found the classes fun and engaging and loved that it included one on one follow up sessions after the course finished. Finally trips to the vet are not longer stressful, both dogs cant wait to get through the door! We are so glad we have found Hamish and his team, we feel like part of the family. - 23/06/19
The best vet in Sydney. Dr Hamish is so caring and compassionate. Our fur babies are so well looked after and the Hotel for Cats is something you would have to see to believe. It is beyond 5 star. If you need your fur babies cared for this is the place to take them. Also the girl on reception is the friendliest receptionist I've dealt with. 10/10 in all areas of service. Thanks so much Dr Hamish and your superstar team. My babies purr thank you too!!! - 23/06/19
Hamish and his team are truly wonderful - caring and compassionate. Our family dog had been unwell for awhile and injured himself and we had to make the awful decision every pet owner dreads. Hamish was very sensitive to how we were feeling and endeavoured to make things easier. In addition, the team sent us a lovely memorial card sometime after....would recommend him and his team to anyone looking for a vet - 23/06/19
I have entrusted the care of my pets to Dr. Hamish and the staff st Blakehurst Vet for the last 12 years. In that time we have known Hamish to always provide our pets, whether it be our guinea pigs or beloved dog Henry, with expert veterinary care and attention. They have always made time for appointments even at short notice and they have provided follow up care after treatment plans were put in place. I recommend Blakehurst Vet to anyone who loves their pets and wants the best possible care for them. Thankyou Dr. Hamish....... - 23/06/17
I have been taking my dog Teddy to Hamish for about 4 years. The service is always outstanding and the nurses are so friendly and caring. Teddy loves going to the vet, as they always fuss over him and make him feel at home. What more could a dog owner want. Thanks Blakehurst Vet. - 23/06/17
I was at the end of my tether with my vet but I'm sooo glad that I found Hamish at Blakehurst. He is very caring and has such a natural way with my dog Johnnie. His years of experience shows. He was able to fix Johnnies ear infection when others have failed. I can always get into see him so Johnnie always has the same doctor which I just love. You will never find a better vet than this one. Do your pet a favour!! - 23/06/16
Dr Hamish Bathgate is a wonderful vet. 4 years ago he saved my beautiful dog Niki when she had an Addisonian crisis. Addison’s disease is very difficult to diagnose and I am most grateful that Hamish had the expertise to solve her illness before it was too late.He is a caring, compassionate and experienced vet and I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a top rate vet then Hamish is the one. - 23/06/16
