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.

My little dog broke her tail and the service at Vets on Crown has been amazing! They worked with me over several weeks to try and correct the issue with splinting and when that didn't work they helped me make an informed decision about partial amputation. They comforted me when I was upset, and gave Ginny so much love and attention that she still loves going there, despite everything she's been through. When one of her bandages flew off 30 mins after being refreshed, they even came and collected her from home to fix it immediately, as I was frantic trying to attend an important work meeting. Amazing service and great communication too. Despite numerous vets having to treat Ginny over the 6 weeks, they always communicated well with each other and gave consistent advice. They also checked if I already had certain medications so as not to over charge me. Highly recommend!
If you own a pet and live in the city, this is the best vet to go to. They have helped me and my dog for years now. They also have an in-house groomer. Hands down the best vet this side of the bridge.
Been using the vet there since my dog was a puppy and have noting but good experiences from puppy school to doggy daycare to the vet
Highly recommended! Dealt with five team members from booking, drop-off, to pickup, all were friendly, helpful and highly professional. Left us feeling very conformable our 1yo staffy would be well looked after, and she was! She was very happy, and very tired from the socialisation, slept like a baby that night! Boarding rates are very good and having the vets available is a huge convenience too. Well done team for delivering an exceptional service.
Very good vets. My dog has gone here a few time and we have always had a good experience. Decent prices and wonderful service.
We are so grateful to Dr Luke and the team at Vets on Crown for taking such good care of our little Virgil. He came in so sick, with gastro and pancreatitis (diagnosed by Luke) he's now entirely on the mend after such great care from Dr. Luke, the best advice and support. Forever grateful! x
Thank you all so much for looking after my Ruby, my cat. Dr Nema thank you for your thorough investigation. Much gratitude to Dr Chole for emotional support and gentle care in seeing My Ruby through her journey. Thank you all for the lovely card with Ruby's paw prints and little bottle of fur. I took that to work and showed it to everyone. That's so special to me. 🙏❤️

Cheers Dr Rhami does his best for me and Choo Choo who is 12 and is going great thanks to all staff at crown st vets who help me as well as my pet,
Rebecca and my previous vet at this clinic have been spot on with their advice, care and treatment. I feel very lucky to have found these wonderful, experienced vets after moving to Sydney from the Illawarra. There amazing hours of operation, genuine compassion, advice and practical yet affordable prices make them a top veterinarian service provider.
Great care. We take our Max there every week for day care. He loves it! And so do we! We recently had to have his teeth cleaned and the whole procedure was handled so well. We were well informed and kept up to date all the way through. Including advice and education on cleaning his teeth at home. Andrew the Vet was exceptionally helpful and great at explaining things . Five stars well deserved.
Been using Dr Nema and Vets on Crown since they opened. Exceptional Vets, Caring Staff, Have treated my Animals with Care and Love. ALLWAYS done everything possible for them and their treatment.
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
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.
