Hello!

We’re a private, family-owned Practice bucking the trend of increasing corporate Veterinary Practice ownership.

our values

we have the time

We aren’t about bums on seats.

Our appointment times are some of the longest in Melbourne – and if you need extra time, we’ll make it.

we understand

We’re a down-to earth bunch who understand how worrying it is when you visit the Vet.

We’re about being honest and open about both treatment options and the cost of your pets care.

we help

We know treatment options and decisions are difficult to make at times. We’re here to help – mostly, we’ll tell you what we would do if our own pet was ill.

we do it all

Dr. Haydn Sharratt, Dr Morag White and Dr Emily Ryder, bring with them over 50 years of combined General Practitioner experience gained in Ireland, the UK, South Africa and Australia – but with additional post-graduate qualifications and experience in Orthopaedics, Soft Tissue Surgery, Internal Medicine and Oncology

With a range of the most modern equipment on-site, we can provide your pet with everything they need to keep them healthy – from nail clipping and vaccinations, to complex orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery – all under one roof…

what our clients say

We’ve been seeing Haydn for most of our vet needs since getting our first puppy just over a year ago, before he opened this practice. We continue visiting him, even though he works further away from our home now because he’s excellent. Our golden Willow loves the vet because of the friendly reception, gentle care and treats. Haydn keeps up to date with current knowledge and is very honest and informative. He has also reassured us through a few freak-outs that we’ve had as first time dog owners....

I trust Vets on Koornang and Dr Haydn 100% with my sweet senior boy Bobby and I highly recommend this practice to anyone who lives in the Southeastern suburbs hesitating to choose a local vet, your pet will be in the best hands. After a horrible experience with a big local hospital that cost $1,800 but Bobby ended up worse both physically and mentally, my friend suggested me this practice. Vets on Koornang put my mind at ease as soon as I walked in. The environment is clean and tidy. Staff at reception(especially Carla) is friendly, proactive and efficient.......click on stars to read more...

We went to see Dr Haydn for the first time today for a vaccination for our cat and to chat through some other ongoing concerns. I was really impressed by his demeanour (we may or may not have been fat shamed by previous vets on occasion) and he also seemed very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend.

Recently our girl Mishka a small Siberian Husky fell ill and needed surgical intervention. Again the team at Vets on Koornang were amazing. They went above and beyond for our girl and made sure we were well informed the whole time. Our girl is feeling better than ever and I could not possibly foresee her better care anywhere. I'm so greatful to the team. Thankyou so much. Great experience with our newly adopted dog. I even forgot out paperwork and was given time to retrieve it (sorry about that). Very honest and open.

Such a friendly and caring vet. Was sad to leave our old vet when we moved from Richmond but these guys are even better! Really happy with Hayden’s expertise and service and the friendly vibe of the whole operation. Great location too with easy parking and great coffee over the road! Make this your vet - you won’t be disappointed.

I am so glad we decided to see Dr. Hayden. Very thorough, very patient and very honest. He spent a lot of time with us and answered all our questions! The clinic is very clean and the nurse/receptionist very very nice and sweet. Thank you so much 🙂
