The Vets on Crown Team, located 1km away from Darlinghurst.

Vets on Crown is just a street away from Darlinghurst

If you've taken your pet to three different locums in the past six months, or you've had to re-tell their full medical history every time you walk in — that's not normal, even if it's common. Vets on Crown is 1km south down Crown Street, about 12 minutes on foot from Taylor Square. Dr Nima founded the clinic at 537 Crown St in 2017 and still sees patients every day the clinic is open. Most of our Darlinghurst clients see the same vet from their pet's first puppy visit through to their last.

Why Darlinghurst pet owners switch to us

Built for apartment pets

Most of our Darlinghurst patients are cavoodles, dachshunds, frenchies and indoor cats. That shapes the medicine — small-breed dental disease gets flagged earlier, and indoor cats get screened for the urinary and weight-related issues outdoor cats rarely present with. The cat-only consult zone has calming pheromones, so the cat you can barely wrestle into the carrier isn't also the one who hides under the bed for three days afterwards.

Each question is golden

A standard consultation here runs 20 to 30 minutes, not 10. That's long enough to walk through blood results, weigh up three treatment options instead of one, and answer the questions you'd already written down in Notes on the way in.

Same team, same clinic, same phone number

Nine years in the same spot on Crown Street. Dr Nima founded the clinic in 2017 and still consults most weekdays — if your dog saw him last year, he'll remember. For Darlinghurst residents who've watched three cafés and a bookshop turn over on the same block, a vet clinic that's still the same vet clinic matters.

Protocols for nervous pets

If the carrier takes two humans and a towel, tell reception when you book. Longer slot, quiet consult room, no waiting among six other dogs — and if handling is going to make things worse, we stop and talk through options instead of pushing through.

Thanks for the super quick painless visit following a nasty cat fight. Hopefully we won’t need a return visit but it’s good to know you are close by.

I can’t recommend this vet clinic enough! My cat was very sick, and they took amazing care of her for a week, she came back completely healthy. The doctors and staff are so kind and professional. Even though I live over an hour away, I always make the drive because I know my cat is in the best hands here.

Great service and very friendly staff. Will definitely use again, we had a great experience when we brought our dog in for a check up when he wasn’t acting himself - turned out to be nothing major but the vet and staff helped us feel more comfortable from the moment we brought him in.

These guys are awesome, I just have to say "do you want to go to Vets on Crown" and my dog Rocco gets excited about their boarding service. He loves the place and the staff there all know him well. He gets lots of play time and walks. There's never been a problem over the last 5 years and now he's there also monthly with our busy schedule. My wife and I live out past Windsor, so it's a long trip to drop him off, but it's a great drop off point on our way to the airport. We've tried the likes of Mad Paws and other boarding kenells out our way, but find them hugely over priced, without the same care and attention and it's great to have full vetenary service available if the need arises. The team at Vets On Crown are always welcoming, bookings are easy and feedback back on how he's going is just a phone call. Well done to the team, we love your service with a doggy cuddle.

Popular with Darlinghurst pet owners

For long-term Darlinghurst residents whose dog or cat is now 12 or 13, geriatric care is a substantial part of the day-to-day work here: arthritis management, kidney monitoring, dental work appropriate for older patients, and the harder conversations about quality of life when they need to happen.
For first-time pet owners and newer residents around Oxford Street and Victoria Street — puppy school runs on-site, and you'll be walked through the vaccination schedule in person rather than handed a printout.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get to Vets on Crown from Darlinghurst?

About 1km south down Crown Street — 12 minutes on foot from Taylor Square, or 4 minutes by car.

My cat hates the vet — can you handle anxious pets?

Yes. Flag it when you book so reception can allocate a longer slot and a quiet consult room. The cat-only zone has calming pheromones, and we work slowly enough that the pet isn't being pinned down to get through the appointment. If handling is making things worse, we stop and talk through options rather than push through.

Do you accept walk-in emergencies from Darlinghurst?

Yes, during business hours (Mon–Fri 7:30am–8pm, Sat/Sun 10am–4pm). Call (02) 9133 1300 first if you can, so we can triage before you arrive.

Will I see the same vet each time?

If you ask for a specific vet at booking, yes. Dr Nima has been consulting here since he founded the clinic in 2017, and most of our vets have been on the team for years. Even if your regular vet isn't in that day, the whole team works out of one physical clinic and shares notes on every patient — so whoever you see will know your pet's history.

Do you handle older pets — kidney disease, arthritis, end-of-life care?

Yes. Geriatric medicine is a substantial part of day-to-day work here. We handle ongoing monitoring, pain management, and quality-of-life conversations. If home euthanasia is the right option, we can refer to a colleague who provides this in the Darlinghurst area.

Where do I go for after-hours emergencies?

Vets on Crown is not a 24/7 hospital. From Darlinghurst, the closest overnight options are SASH Alexandria (~10 minutes by car) and the Sydney University Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Camperdown (~12 minutes by car). Save both numbers before you need them.
