Ramsgate Vet, Your Vet near Sans Souci
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.
Sans Souci sits on a peninsula between Botany Bay and Kogarah Bay. The French name translates to 'without worry', which is fitting for a suburb where mornings are spent walking dogs along Lady Robinsons Beach, afternoons involve sailing or kayaking, and the pace is slower than suburbs closer to the city. Many residents here have been in the same house for decades. Others are retirees who moved for the water views and the permanent holiday feel. Dogs get walked along the foreshore at sunrise and sunset. Cats stay indoors watching boats through the windows. When something's wrong, it shows up quickly. The dog who normally bounds toward the water hesitates. The cat who always sits by the window stops moving to that spot. They're off their food or drinking more, or they're just not themselves.
Ramsgate Veterinary Hospital is less than 1km from central Sans Souci, about 5 minutes by car or a short walk along Rocky Point Road. The clinic has full surgical theatres, diagnostic imaging, and a team that includes visiting specialists who operate on-site. It's built for the kind of comprehensive care that waterfront suburbs with established pet populations need.
The Ramsgate Vet difference for Sans Souci pets
Visiting specialists operate on-site
When your pet needs specialist surgery or advanced diagnostics, the specialists come here. Orthopaedic surgeons, ophthalmologists, and internal medicine specialists consult and operate at this clinic. You're not driving across Sydney for a referral appointment. The specialist works in the same theatre your regular vet uses, with the same nursing team assisting. Post-operative care happens here too, which means continuity from diagnosis through recovery.Two surgical theatres, full anaesthetic monitoring
The clinic runs two fully equipped surgical theatres with multiparameter anaesthetic monitoring, surgical tables, and recovery facilities. Routine procedures like desexing and dental work happen in one theatre while complex surgeries run in the other. The setup allows the clinic to handle multiple cases per day without compromising on monitoring or sterility. Every surgery includes pre-anaesthetic blood work, IV catheter placement, and continuous monitoring throughout the procedure.Emergency care during business hours
Walk-in emergencies are accepted during open hours. The clinic has oxygen therapy equipment, IV fluid pumps, emergency drug stocks, and a team trained in critical care stabilisation. For acute cases that arrive during business hours, triage happens immediately and treatment begins while you're still in the room. After-hours emergencies go to SASH Alexandria or Sydney University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, both about 20 minutes away.Cat boarding with separate accommodation
The clinic runs a cat boarding facility separate from the main hospital ward. Each cat gets their own enclosure with bedding, litter, and elevated perches. The boarding area is quiet, climate-controlled, and away from the barking and foot traffic of the main clinic. For Sans Souci residents who travel frequently or who need somewhere safe to board their cat during renovations, this setup works better than leaving them at home with a pet sitter checking in once a day.

Loved by the community, here in Sans Souci and everywhere else.
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.
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!
There are very experienced and friendly staff working there, and they provide highly professional and skilled services. I am very happy that I chose this place.
Thank you Dr Tiffany for your amazing service. You always go above and beyond to make sure our little Clara is looked after. We really appreciate your holistic care approach.
Very quick service and friendly stuff
Grateful to Dr Clarence Ng for everything you’ve done to Benson,our sixk boy
We can't thank the team at Ramsgate enough for everything they did for our dog Biscuit during his TPLO surgery and recovery.
From the very first consultation right through to the surgery, every single person we dealt with was caring and incredibly helpful. We'd been told by other vets that sedation would be required to diagnose Biscuits injury, so it was a huge relief that the Ramsgate team could assess him properly and diagnose the injury without sedation. They took the time to clearly explain the injury, the surgery, what to expect afterwards, and answered every question we had.
The day of the surgery was stressful for us, but the team made it so much easier. They explained the whole process before we left Biscuit in their care and kept us updated throughout the day. We received calls letting us know when the surgery was about to begin, when it had finished, and how Biscuit was doing afterwards. Those updates meant a lot and gave us real peace of mind during what was a very worrying day.
When we collected Biscuit, the team carefully went through everything we needed to know for his recovery. They made sure we felt comfortable and confident about caring for him at home and never made us feel rushed. Since then, all of his follow-up appointments have gone smoothly, and he has been improving day by day.
A huge thank you to everyone at Ramsgate for taking such great care of Biscuit. It's obvious how much you all genuinely care about the animals you treat, and we're incredibly grateful for the support and expertise you've shown throughout the whole process 🙂
The team are friendly, professional and competent. My puppy has visited twice and loves the vets as he gets treats, cuddles and lots of scratches. They prioritise care in a safe and friendly environment for the animals. The reception team are efficient, proactive and super friendly. Everyone here loves animals and it shows.
5 star. Highly recommend. Amazing team. Car park available at the back of Vet.
Great experience for our cat
Great caring staff, looked after my dog so well. No stress, and lovely clean premises. Thank you
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
Understanding Sans Souci pets
The clinic sees a lot of long-term patients. Dogs who've been coming here since they were puppies, now seniors with chronic conditions being managed over years. The vets track trends over time rather than reacting to individual symptoms. They know which treatments worked before, which medications your dog tolerates, and what baseline bloodwork looks like for comparison. That continuity is the reason many Sans Souci residents drive past closer clinics to keep coming here.
