Bird Vet Melbourne

Thanks Dr Phil Mel and the team for helping save the Rainbow Lorrikeet . You're just awesome !

We are so grateful to Dr Phil for giving our pet chicken, Sarah, a fantastic, extended quality of life, despite living with a chronic heart condition. I took Sarah here nearly 3 years ago, when I noticed she was experiencing shortness of breath. Dr Phil diagnosed her with heart disease, and started Sarah on medications which relieved her breathing difficulties, and greatly improved her energy levels.
Amazingly, Sarah is still active and happy now, at 11 years of age, thanks to being given her medications twice a day. While this is a commitment, we see Sarah as an equal member of the family to our other pets, and equally worthy of the best care possible.
Dr Phil and the other staff at this clinic always impress me with their warmth, expertise, genuine care and dedication. I can trust them to be gentle and experienced when handling Sarah, and for any procedures, so that her visits to the vet are stress free. I travel over 80 km each way to come here, and consider it well worth it. Highly recommend.

I found Birdy in my garden 11 years ago this year, and she has become such a huge part of my family. Our vet has helped Birdy get the most out of her life at her age. With the wide range of Bird products they stock, we've created an enriching home for Birdy, as she can no longer fly or see very well.
The vets at the clinic express love and care for animals, and I feel comfortable knowing that Birdy shows minimal stress during her vet visits. They have always gone above and beyond to address Birdy's needs.

Dr. Phil Sacks did a wonderful beak trimming to my bird Mr. B. You can easily see the different before and after photos of the trimming. Highly recommend Pet Vet to look after your pet. They even have Wellness Programs to regularly take care of your birds, cats and dogs.

I found this business on Word of Mouth

Watching the vets and nurses put so much effort to save and rescue the 6 duckling and rear them has been amazing - even doing a CT scan on 1 with neurological disease = 5 stars from me .

Approximate cost: $300

Extremely thankful and grateful for Pet Medical Crisis and the team at Bird Vet Melbourne for funding and taking care of my baby when she really needed help to remove a lump. Without PMC's help, I would never have been able to afford to get her the surgery she needed. Dr Phil is amazing, knowledgeable, caring and very professional. The team at Bird Vet Melbourne specialise in birds and are extremely passionate about being able to help sick birds in need. Highly recommended if you have a sick bird. Also recommend talking to the lovely team at Pet Medical Crisis if you have an emergency and need help funding it!

I highly recommend Dr Phil and Dr Ruth. They are very knowledgeable and passionate about the care they deliver. I must thank Dr Ruth for looking after my sick cockatiel so well recently. My bird had a blood test one Saturday morning which turned out to be quite abnormal. I received a phone call at about 7pm that night and was given the bad news. She was very kind, in no hurry to go and answered all my questions. With the treatment she started he is now back to his old self but with ongoing health problems.

The most caring vets and nurses. Very highly recommended

Thank you Bird Vet Melbourne for saving my bird!

I took my cockatiel Peako to the vet when I noticed he was vomiting.

After a few seconds into the examination, the vet knew immediately what was wrong.
Peako had been chewing on natural rope that I used in his cage to tie toys/branches. He had ingested a concerning amount of this fibre & if not acted on fast by an Avarian specialist, would have resulted in death as it was sitting in his stomach impacting his digestion.

I adore my little guy to bits & would never dream of doing anything to harm him.

Unfortunately, Avarian vets see fibre impaction regularly as almost all bird toys contain some element of rope.

If you have rope in your birds cage I highly recommend removing it immediately.

Please please please be aware of what you are providing your bird. Rope toys look pretty & fun but they are just not worth it.

Over many years this practice, Dr. Phil and the staff, have provided outstanding service and care for whatever creatures we have brought to the clinic, whether mammalian or avian, and always at a reasonable cost. We cannot recommend them highly enough, and hope that they flourish so we can be assured of being able to access the continuing high level of expert care that we owe to our birds and animals.

The Vets are good with chickens, and understand the great relationship that people have with chickens and they they are pets.

Amazing clinic, can really feel the love & care from the staff. Great overall experience.

Dr Phil and the amazing nurses here are awesome. I had a very sick cockatiel and from the moment we arrived they were awesome. Very caring and treatment was started immediately as she wasn't very well at all. After a couple of days with them she came home in much better health. The service here was top notch. Was even given a mobile number when we came home to send updates over the weekend or ask any questions while the clinic was closed. Don't get that kind of service many places these days.

They may be called 'Bird Vet Melbourne', but I have been taking my dog here for over a decade.

It is a small practice, and so they do get to know their clients better than many larger vets. They are all friendly and thoroughly competent.

I have no hesitation in recommending bird-vet.com to others for general vet practice

Can't speak any more highly of Dr Phil, and their amazing staff . We had our spoodle Lucy desexed. The updates with texts, photos and phone calls have been so appreciated. It's comforting to know that Lucy is being cared for with such compassion and care. she is back at home, as active as ever, and completely over her surgery. It was comforting knowing that we could contact Dr Phil the Vet literally at any time we needed guidance or had any concerns; We had his mobile number!! Thanks"

great service, friendly and concerning about there work with there unwell little guys, that come in unwell. Looks after Zorka our Galah very well, and when he comes homes, its great he is always happy . Keep up the great work

Dr Esther, nurse Georgina and all the vet nurses were fantastic, helpful and full of immediate information regarding helping my Canaries get over their respiritory illnesses. Extremely accessible in person and over the phone. They saved all 6 canaries lives with quick,accurate and timely diagnosis, treatment and aftercare. They genuinely were interested in helping me and my birds. Thankyou.

Went to see Dr Esther in relation to my 13yo Staffy's bad teeth. We had appt Thursday evening and he had surgery Friday am. Fantastic service for half the price of our long time vet. Thank you everyone. We will be back in the future.

You Guys are the greatest XXXXX.
And i like your work XXXXX
Thanks for helping with all our many varied patients

Excellent care of my pet Canary - needing an operation on his feather cysts.
Excellent pre-operative information and discussion of the pros and cons of the procedure.
Excellent post procedure care and notes.
Excellent information to pass on to my usual vets - on the other side of town.

Nothing is to much trouble, and the extra care and advice, is far beyond the minimum required or expected. The great service is consistent. Con't thank Dr Phil enough for all the help he has provided through the years.

My 4 year old Dog was Quite challenging in that he was anxious to be at Burwood vet. Dr Esther did an Excellent Job!

Approximate cost: $160.

Bird Vet Melbourne - Professional, Caring, Compassionate. Honesty, caring for a very special family member aged 45 yrs. Our "Barney" a Sulphur crested cockatoo, has "Beak and Feather" disease, and her care here is superb! Experts in the field of Avian medicine, I would not even think about taking my bird anywhere else

Without the caring help from Burwood Bird and Animal Hospital I would find it almost impossible to look after my chickens alone. Dr Phil Sacks has always been a great man to deal with. Highly recommended, they are thorough friendly caring and always helpful.

I have brought many animals to see the vets and nurses at Burwood Bird and Animal Hospital and have always had the most amazing experiences and care ! I would highly recommend bringing any animal to see the veterinary team at this clinic.

Burwood bird and Animal hospital is the most amazing clinic. The staff and highly experienced, professional and compassionate.
I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone with a companion animal.

I came to Bird vet Melbourne as a novice Budgie owner.
A fist year apprentice !
I learned so much about bird handling, bird feeding, parrot training and housing.
I felt my bird was cared for and my own needs also; were addressed.
