Ramsgate Vet, Your Vet near Kogarah
Vet clinic 2.8km from Kogarah. Same vet every visit, prices on the website before you book. Open till 7pm weekdays.
Pet owners in Kogarah know the rhythm: the morning dog walk around Carss Park before work, the weekend trips to Oatley Bay with a terrier who can't resist the water, the cat who's claimed the window ledge overlooking Gray Street. When something's not right, it's usually obvious. The dog who normally pulls you down the street suddenly lags behind. The cat stops grooming. They're off their food, or they're drinking more, or they're just not themselves. Ramsgate Veterinary Hospital is 2.8km south of Kogarah, about 10 minutes by car or a quick bus ride down Rocky Point Road.
There's been a vet practice at 231 Rocky Point Rd for decades. The current team took over the site and has been building it into a full-service clinic with in-house diagnostics, surgical capabilities, and the sort of continuity you don't get from seeing a different vet every time.
Why Kogarah pet owners prefers us
Same vet every visit
Book with the same vet who saw your pet last time. They already know your dog's arthritis history, your cat's food sensitivities, and what worked last time. You're not starting from scratch every visit explaining the backstory. Continuity like this isn't a luxury when you're managing a chronic condition, it's the baseline.Diagnostic work done on-site
Blood tests, X-rays, and ultrasounds happen here. Results come back the same day. If your vet needs imaging to confirm what's going on, you're not being sent across town for an appointment later in the week. The clinic runs its own lab and radiology suite, which means faster answers and less waiting.Prices on the website before you book
Consults from $98. Vaccinations from $119. Desexing from $180. Dental with X-rays from $670. All pricing is listed on the site. When you call to book, you'll be told the cost before the appointment. If further work is needed during the visit, you'll receive a written estimate before anything proceeds.Open till 7pm on weekdays, weekends too

Loved by the community, here in Kogarah and everywhere else.
I received a quality service and I recommend it to everyone.
I first a attended this Vet when we noticed our Cavalier was having issues with her mobility. The vets and nurses were incredibly supportive and attentive to our little girl. The care and compassion they provided to treat her was exceptional. I found my little girl to be very comfortable and quite spoiled here by the beautiful staff who work here. They explained very clearly what was going on with her, the treatment required, the pros and cons and how best to manage her condition going forward. I feel very lucky to have found Ramsgate Vet Hospital and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
I wanted to thank Jess, Gabby and the team at Ramsgate Vet for their outstanding care. Jess is such a kind and caring person who went above and beyond to help us and our 2 cats. I will never forget the kindness and compassion we were shown, I am truly thankful
Excellent Service by Gabby who warmly greeted and helped with everything required. Really professional, kind and loving service. I highly recommend this vet clinic ! 🐈 …
Very quick service and friendly stuff
Thank you to Dr Clarence for everything you’ve done for Cali. Thank you for making the time to see him when no one else would. I was getting married on Saturday when I noticed something seriously wrong with our puppy Cali. I called numerous clinics and no one would take him on short notice. Dr Clarence and Jess when out of their way and instantly agreed to see him. They looked after him while I had my wedding while giving me constant updates during the day. Amazing clinic with amazing people! Thank you so much. Forever grateful to them as Cali is now home with us and in high spirits again.
Excellent vet! Great team from the nurses to the Dr. Everyone was kind, happy to help and pleasant to talk to even over the phone. Dr. McMahon was very knowledged and explained everything during consultation with my dog Haldo. I have found my regular vet now!
I would recommend this vet to anyone looking for a place to take your pet your pet would be well taken care of. The staff are helpful and friendly. They also have a clinic in Surry Hills. They are helpful in every way they can be. My dog went for surgery and he was treated with care. They are in contact with you letting you know each step of the way. The facilities are clean and inviting. If you are looking to take your pet somewhere I would highly recommend Ramsgate veterinary hospital.
Treated my cat
Great experience for our cat
This was our first time attending here after moving into the area. We were finding our existing “chain-owned” vet practice too impersonal / not responsive / hard to get info from etc so wanted to try something new. We were relieved to find a vet practice that still has that personal/caring/human feel. Greeted by a lovely receptionist and given practical/pragmatic and objective advice by the fantastic vet (eg no sales tactics of us buying vet products from associated companies, like some of the vet chains). Highly recommend!
Staff were friendly and thorough with checking my dog and making her feel comfortable during the examination
Understanding the lifestyle of Kogarah pet owners
The clinic sees a lot of first-time pet owners who've just moved into the area and aren't sure when a limp needs an X-ray or when vomiting can wait until tomorrow. The vets here don't assume you already know the drill. They walk you through what's happening, what the options are, and what it'll cost. For the households managing older dogs with mobility issues or cats with kidney disease, continuity matters. Seeing the same vet means they're tracking trends, not reacting to single data points. They know when something's different because they know what normal looks like for your pet.
