Vets on Crown, Your Vet near Paddington
Vet clinic 1.5km from Five Ways via Oxford Street. Built for active dogs and considered pet owners.
A Full Service clinic you can count on.
If you're running your dog in Centennial Park four times a week, or you've adopted a rescue with an incomplete history, or you've just been told your cat needs a $2,400 procedure and something about the recommendation didn't sit right — those are the reasons Paddington clients end up at Vets on Crown. The clinic is 1.5km west of Five Ways, reachable via Oxford Street and Crown Street. Dr Nima founded it in 2017. Most appointments run 20 to 30 minutes, and second opinions are a normal part of the week here, not an awkward one.

Got my cats hair cut. Very quick service
The vets are excellent, my dogs have always received excellent treatment from Dr Nima and Dr Michael. The nurses including Lisa, and all staff are very friendly and provide excellent care. Highly recommend their services.
lovely & casting. helped a friend who's cat was very unwell. The decision was to put Olly boy out of his suffering. Extremely kind towards my friend who couldn't afford the bill. Helped her. big time
Great STAFF WOULD NOT HESITATE TO TAKE YOUR THERE. WILL BE WELL LOOKED AFTER
Such a knowledgeable and supportive team! Our veterinarian Nima was amazing during a very difficult time. His calm, kind demeanour helped us support our very sick little kitten and provided the guidance to manage him successfully at home. Thanks guys, it was a relief to know you were there for our family 🙏🏻 …
The staff at Vets on Crown - receptionists, vets, nurses and groomers - are friendly, caring and professional and our Molly loves being there!
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 team at Vets on Crown are amazing. Not only are they really professional and courteous but you can tell that they honestly care about the pets they treat. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
VoC have been very helpful and professional in providing doggy day care and boarding for our diabetic dog - we would highly recommend them.
The doctors and staffs are very patient and friendly. They care and remember our cats.
Dear Team, We just wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for all the support you’ve given us during this challenging time with our little Buddy. It’s tough with all the health troubles, but knowing that we have such a caring team behind us is making a world of difference. A special shout-out to Bree for being particularly helpful and understanding, we can’t thank you enough. Carlo and Terry
My Willow had her spay procedure yesterday. She’s so loving and was taken care of so well by Dr Jueun and the team at vets on crown. I’m so pleased with the passion the team have when looking after the animals. Willow says thanks!
Getting Here from Redfern
- Walking: ~25–30 minutes from Five Ways via Oxford Street. Pleasant walk with a well-behaved dog, less so with a pet in a carrier.
- Bus: the 333 and 440 routes run along Oxford Street — get off at Taylor Square, then a 12-minute walk south down Crown Street.
- Driving: ~5–7 minutes depending on Oxford Street traffic. Metered street parking near 537 Crown St.
- Light rail: not a direct option from most of Paddington — bus or car is faster.
Tailored for Paddington pets
For Paddington households with two or more pets, combined-appointment slots are bookable. Two dogs in one visit, or the dog and the cat together if the cat tolerates it. Reception can allocate the right slot if you mention it at booking.
Frequently asked questions
About 1.5km west of Five Ways via Oxford Street and Crown Street — 5 to 7 minutes driving, 12 minutes from Taylor Square on the 333 or 440 bus, or a 25–30 minute walk.
Yes. Bring the referral letter and any imaging files — X-rays, ultrasound, blood results. The consult will walk through what the previous vet found, whether the recommendation stands up, and what the alternatives are if it doesn't. Flag at booking that it's a second opinion so reception allocates extra time.
Yes. Cruciate ligament issues, iliopsoas strains, pad injuries and early arthritis are a regular part of the caseload here. X-ray and ultrasound are available onsite. For cases that need orthopaedic surgery, we refer to a specialist surgeon.
No. Prescription diets are recommended when a condition calls for them, not by default. Same for joint supplements and behavioural products. You'll get a written estimate before any procedure and a call if costs change mid-treatment.
Yes. Flag it at booking so reception can allocate a longer slot. First visits for anxious or traumatised dogs are often meet-and-greets with no handling — treats on the floor, no examination if the dog isn't ready. The goal is the second visit being easier than the first.
Vets on Crown is not a 24/7 hospital. From Paddington, the closest overnight options are SASH Alexandria (~8 minutes by car) and the Animal Referral Hospital in Homebush (~20 minutes by car). Save both numbers before you need them.
