Read some of their nominations:

“I truly believe this clinic deserves to win Clinic of the Year. The team has built an incredible 2,000 sqm state-of-the-art veterinary hospital that has transformed the level of care available to animals in our community. The facilities are outstanding, but what really stands out is the dedication of the staff and the sense that they genuinely care about every animal and owner who walks through the doors.”

“The team at vets on Riverbank are extraordinary! They are the only vet clinic in the region who go above and beyond for EVERYONE… not just their own clients… but other clinics clients too. They have exceptional customer service. The nurses and vets are kind, compassionate, phenomenal human beings who only want the best for our pets and are willing to do anything and everything to help them and us out. Without a doubt the most deserving of this award for sure.”

“Have been clients of this clinic for 22 years. Can not speak highly enough of this clinic. Total dedication from all the Vets, nurses & staff. They go well above and beyond so many times. It is more of a warm family atmosphere, which they have managed to keep over all these years. Totally would recommend and would never change.”

Read some of their nominations:

“We have a Bach in the Sounds. Boat access only. Our dog ate 250g of fruit and nut chocolate. Communication with their 24 hour team meant the vet was there. They accepted us into their clinic, they came in after hours and sat with our wee boy and watched over him. These guys are such caring people.”

“Christine and her small, dedicated team work tirelessly to provide excellent care to not only domestic pets but any animal brought into their clinic. She organises regular dog walks, education sessions for first aid, YouTube talks and more.”

“Christine and her team are so proactive and engaging with the local community to grow and establish an amazing network of caring animal owners.”
