We can’t recommend West Toowoomba Veterinary Surgery highly enough! Michael, Christine and the vet nurses are all wonderful. They have supported us through some really difficult times with our dogs and cats. They genuinely care for us and our precious pets. The best by far!

Prompt and thorough attention to my best mate. Options were clearly explained, with great followup
West Toowoomba Vets is the best Vet in Toowoomba. Don’t go to anyone else as they listen to why you are there and care about my pet. Best vet.
