Darlinghurst's Nearest Vet on Crown Street — Check-Ups, Emergency Care, Desexing, Pet Dentistry, X-Rays, Grooming & Cat Boarding in Surry Hills, Open 7 Days
Last updated: 1 November, 2025
Always here for you
rown Street runs directly from Darlinghurst into Surry Hills, and our clinic at number 537 sits just a few blocks south of Oxford Street — most Darlo pet owners can walk here in under 10 minutes. We offer the full range of veterinary care, from wellness exams and vaccinations to surgery, emergency treatment, and diagnostic imaging, alongside dog grooming, daycare, and boarding for both cats and dogs. With over 37 years of combined experience and more than 25 years at this location, our team understands the realities of inner-city pet ownership — apartment cats, reactive dogs, tight schedules — and we're set up to handle all of it.
Why Vets On Crown?
You're Already on the Right Street
Crown Street is one of Darlinghurst's main roads, and our clinic sits on the same street — no detours, no unfamiliar address. That proximity matters when you're carrying a cat carrier, managing a dog on-lead, or dealing with an emergency where minutes count.
Built for Apartment Pet Owners
Most Darlo residents live in apartments or terraces. We have separate areas to keep cats calm, dedicated cat boarding suites, and vets experienced with the health issues common in indoor pets — weight management, dental disease, skin conditions, and behavioural concerns. For dogs, our daycare provides the exercise and socialisation a small apartment can't.
A Team That Knows Your Pet
We're family-run, not a corporate chain. Our team builds ongoing relationships with pets and their owners, so you're not starting from scratch at every visit. With over 320 Google reviews and more than two decades at the same address, we're part of this neighbourhood.
Years of experience, hundreds of Satisfied Customers
Amazing Team! They took time to listen to all the questions I had and made sure that my pets are on top of their health while in boarding. They have sent me regular updates on my pets' stay which made me very happy. Highly recommend this vet clinic :)
Great Vet, even when they are busy they will take the time to show that they care for the animals that come through the door. Although Penny is often nervous for the vet, she has been getting more confident every time thanks to the care of the professionals here.
Genuinely cannot say enough great things about this vet. My dog Winnie is 5, has always be a poorly dog and now has diabetes. After moving i now drive to Vets on Crown, as the vet in my new suburb wasn't the same standard. Yes they are not the cheapest (you'll need to go out west for that) but they are far cheaper than others in the area. Having been at the vets A LOT, i have encountered nearly all vets/nurses/receptionists and everyone is always lovely/genuinely accomodating to your needs. When costs got high they always go directly through my insurance (often very last minute), always call with updates, offer me options, never pressure me to get further testing and offer me options around my budget. They are always on the end of the phone, call to check in and i'm 100% confident in the care Winnie has received. They are a busy vet and have always made time to see Winnie (again often last minute). As someone that has unfortunately been at this vets for weeks at a time with a very poorly pup, and spent a fair bit of $$$, i truly advocate for them and their care.
The vets are great there. Always get an appointment and they love their animals.
I always have a great experience going to Vets on Crown. Amazing people, they really take time to listen to you and understand your pet's needs. My dog also loves to go to daycare there as well and has plenty of playtime with other dogs. Loving and caring team, I highly recommend this clinic.
Tomoko’s grooming at Vets on Crown is top rate. My dog is quite anxious but he always has a good time when he’s there and always comes out looking so clean and handsome. The whole process is seamless, with very kind and caring staff. Highly recommend.
We can only pay gap bill which is so great!!! They can call insurance and tell us exact amount we should pay, and they do the rest, let the insurance pay their share.
Very helpful, efficient and friendly service. They always look after my girl 🐈⬛ They have a room just for cats with feliway plugged in too which is good for calming visits down. …
Our dog loves the daycare here!
The best service, always very thorough and wonderful team of vets and staff. Thanks Omid and Nima for looking after us. We can’t thank you enough for looking after River.
I wanted to say a big thank you to both the vets I saw with Bingo. (My apologies I didn’t get their names) Plus all the staff at the front counter. I wasn’t always the most pleasant customer, yet both the vets we saw, were lovely. Right till the end, and even after - the compassion & care was beautiful. Thank you
Great vets to take care of your beloved puppies or kittens. Love the staff and their patience to explain everything to new pet owners
