Ramsgate Vet, Your Vet near Monterey
Vet clinic on your doorstep. Walk or drive to 231 Rocky Point Rd in under 5 minutes. In-house diagnostics, experienced vets, open till 7pm weekdays.
Most Monterey residents can walk to the beach in five minutes. The Grand Parade runs through the middle, lined with Mediterranean-style homes built when this stretch of Botany Bay was still quiet. Dogs walk along the foreshore at sunrise. Cats watch the water from first-floor balconies.
The rhythm is reliable until it isn't: the dog who always bounds ahead suddenly slows down, the cat who grooms twice a day stops bothering, they're drinking more water or refusing food, or they're just off.
Ramsgate Veterinary Hospital is less than 1km from central Monterey, about 5 minutes by car or a 10-minute walk along Rocky Point Road. The clinic has been at 231 Rocky Point Rd for decades. The current team runs it as a full-service hospital with diagnostic imaging, surgical theatres, and the kind of vet continuity that makes managing long-term conditions simpler.
What Ramsgate Vet brings to Monterey pet owners
You can walk here
The clinic is less than 1km from the heart of Monterey. Walk your dog to the appointment, or carry your cat in a carrier without needing to drive across suburbs. For Monterey's elderly residents and those without cars, proximity matters. This isn't a 20-minute drive across traffic, it's a short walk or a brief trip on the 478 bus.Full diagnostics without referral delays
X-rays, ultrasounds, and blood work happen on-site. When your vet needs imaging to work out what's wrong, they book the machine for later that day or the next morning. Results come back within hours. There's no waiting days for an external lab report or driving to another clinic for scans. The turnaround is fast because everything runs under the same roof.Surgical capability for routine and complex procedures
Desexing, dental surgery, soft tissue procedures, and orthopaedic work all happen here. Drop your pet off in the morning, collect them the same afternoon. The clinic has two surgical theatres, anaesthetic monitoring equipment, and post-operative care facilities. For routine surgeries like desexing or dental work, there's no need to travel elsewhere. For complex cases, the vets consult with visiting specialists who operate on-site.Pricing published before you book
Consults from $98. Puppy vaccinations from $119. Cat desexing from $180. Dental with full X-rays from $670. Every service price is listed on the website. If additional work is needed during a visit, you'll receive a written estimate and a phone call before anything proceeds. No surprises.

Loved by the community, here in Monterey and everywhere else.
Very quick service and friendly stuff
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 ! 🐈 …
I have recently moved to the area and needed to take my reactive little chihuahua to a new vet. RVH has been the first Vet we've gone to that's pointed out my little dogs heart problems. This team are all angels sent from heaven, I can't thank them enough for treating my boy with urgency and truly going above and beyond. After receiving quite confronting news regarding my dog during my first visit to RVH, these angels have shown nothing but kindness, empathy and compassion to my dog and I. My dogs primary care team has been Nurse Jess and Dr Marnie with v special mention to Dr Tiffany <3
Amazing vets , they saw me straight away, vey helpful and informative, I’ve been looking for a new vet in my area and definitely found one today, so relieved my Jack Russell is in reliable hands, also there fees are also much cheaper than my old vets. Highly recommended these guys for so many reasons, thank you Ramsgate Vets.
First time to this vet. From the friendly call to having an available appointment I was greeted at the practice by the vet nurse Tahlia. Dr Tiffany so lovely and attentive . Really felt at ease with her and caring disposition for my pug. I will be back in September. Well priced and the decor of the clinic is spacious.
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.

Grateful to Dr Clarence Ng for everything you’ve done to Benson,our sixk boy
Our beautiful little dog was hit by a car last Friday, The team at Ramsgate vet including Jess and Clarence did everything they could for our little boy as soon as he arrived to them. They went over and above to try and help him and save his life. Unfortunately we did end up losing our little one and we are absolutely heartbroken by this sudden loss. The team has continued to offer us all of the support we need during this grieving process. We will be forever grateful for them for doing everything they could. They are a team with heart and they truly care about pets and their owners. Thank you endlessly to the team 🤍
Precisely what Monterey pet owners need
The clinic is closest to Monterey residents, which means walkability matters. For older pet owners who no longer drive, or for households without a second car during weekdays, being able to walk a dog to the vet or carry a cat carrier on foot removes a logistical barrier. It's practical infrastructure, not a marketing point.The clinic also sees a lot of multi-pet households. Families with two dogs or a dog and a cat often book consecutive appointments or bring both at once. The vets here are used to managing sibling dynamics and coordinating treatment plans across pets who live together. They know which vaccines can be done on the same day, which medications interact, and how to schedule follow-ups efficiently when you're juggling more than one animal.
