All itching resolved!

Rated 5 out of 5
We took our then two and half year old Bichon (Louie) to see The Natural Vets due to allergy issues which had been getting progressively worse even though he was being prescribed steroids and other medication by our previous vet. ⠀ ⠀ Dr Renee was very thorough in assessing Louie and recommended a change to a single protein raw food diet. Along with some herbal remedies to assist with boosting the dog's immunity and some skin soothing cream to help alleviate the itching on his ears and feet. Over the following year, with The Natural Vets team's guidance by both email and phone, we succeeded in extending Louie's diet to four main single protein complete meals, he no longer requires herbal supplements and his itching has completed resolved. ⠀ ⠀ Louie is now a much happier and healthier dog. We are so appreciative having the help of Dr Renee and the other staff at The Natural Vets and would recommend them to anyone seeking the professional services of a empathetic, caring and considerate veterinary team. -

All ailments cured!

Rated 5 out of 5
Dr Renee is the most amazing vet I have ever had the privilege of dealing with. I have two Maine Coons, a little rescue Ella and a Rough Collie; they are my furry children and I completely trust her with their care.

Not only has Dr Renee repeatedly cured each of them of different ailments, she goes above and beyond, and actually cares about every one of them.

Watching her work is impressive; I raw feed my tribe and her knowledge of species appropriate diets is phenomenal, she also has such a thorough knowledge of mainstream medicine and alternative medicine that I am always offered the best treatment, whether it be one, the other or both, and she also has a way of making connections from seemingly completely unrelated things, to get to the root cause of an issue.

But it’s the little things she does that show just how much she loves and understands animals. On one visit she stopped the appointment and had me take Zeke for a sniff around the clinic because he wasn’t settling. Those few minutes of exploring calmed him down and we went right back to it with a content dog.

I’ve also seen Dr Viki for body work on Zeke, she has an amazing way with animals and watching her work, you can see she has an extremely in-depth knowledge of every inch of their bodies. The nursing staff are also absolutely lovely. Most animals don’t like going to the vet, Zeke LOVES going to The Natural Vets. I have a thousand stories by now of their excellent care but all of these little gestures, their extensive knowledge and true love of animals is why I drive an hour to this clinic and can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you for everything you do, guys!

Holistic Plan helped Gypsy

Rated 5 out of 5
We took our elderly dog, Gypsy, to the Natural Vets as she had been diagnosed with Cushing's disease. A few years ago Gypsy had Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) and had aggressive traditional treatment over a period of 18 months. That treatment saved her life but it really took the 'life' out of her and we did not want to put her through anything like that again. We wanted to help her but not at the expense of her happiness. After doing some research we found The Natural Vets. We made the trip up from Brisbane to Forest Glen and we are so glad we did. Everyone at the Surgery was wonderful. Doctor Catherine was very thorough and so very gentle with Gypsy. Doctor Catherine provided us with a holistic plan to help Gypsy cope with her symptoms. It has been less than a week but we couldn't be happier with the difference it has made to Gypsy. We are very grateful ❤.

Minnie was quite relaxed & recovered quickly from her dental procedure. Being my Service Dog her welfare is my biggest priority. She is my Wonder Woman.
Response from the owner:Ah Jo this is lovely to hear. Minnie is such a sweet girl and clearly cherished. She will feel better now too with such beautiful clean teeth!
I rang and asked for a quote so I could be prepared, to microchip and vaccinate 9 puppies. Was told $1153.06. I thought this is very reasonable and similar to other vets, so went ahead and booked. On the day, only 6 puppies got vaccinated and total for the day was $1869.39. You would think If you asked for a quote you would get the TOTAL COST of outlay. No, its not just the consultation fee of $440 that they dont include in the quote, its the cost for a nurse, Yes a nurse is extra cost not disclosed in a quote. And the homeopathics given after are $20 extra a pup for single dose of a few drops. This is daylight robbery!!! Homeopathics are very very cheap and 1 pillule can go a long way making a whole bottle of drops .. $20 for a few drops!!!!! per pup!!! And dont say it's your expertise as these are given after every single vaccination and you are a natural vet and the cost is so so minimal to you. Adding up the cost on the day per pup for vaccination and microchip alone was $1129.89 for 6 puppies vaccinated so why was I quoted $1153.06 for all 9 of them? That alone does not add up and is yet to be explained. All this has left such a very bad taste in my mouth. I believe in natural therapies and was going to recommend you, having brought up my puppies holistically ... but not now. Nine puppy owners will hear how money hungry you are instead. The team were great with the puppies but the business side leaves a lot to be desired!!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry you feel dissatisfied with your experience and our dedicated team effort. We understand how important transparency around costs is for everyone including breeders and pet owners. The verbal quote provided was for brief wellness exams, vaccination and microchipping procedures only, based on eight puppies. On the day, the consultation for the nine puppies that visited extended to nearly two hours—well beyond the booked time—due to detailed discussions, individual assessments, and your informed decision not to vaccinate three puppies, which was fully supported by our veterinarian and team. The final invoice reflected the extended consultation time, dedicated nursing support throughout the visit, and optional treatments chosen on the day. While our pricing reflects professional expertise, time, and clinical oversight—not just product cost—we acknowledge that pricing clarity around the homeopathic support could have been communicated more clearly. As a one-time gesture of goodwill, we are happy to offer a refund for the homeopathic remedies provided. We appreciate your comments about our team’s care of the puppies and take feedback regarding cost transparency seriously. Should you wish to accept the goodwill refund or discuss this privately, please give the practice a call. - Dr Renée James.
I would not take my dog anywhere else. Sure it is a bit more expensive but you get so much more than a regular GP Vet. We have a much longer consultation with a Vet who cares about my dog and also about how I am feeling. They respect my ethics around cooperative care and do their best to honour my wishes. I am a professional in the Canine Behaviour field and have been trying to tell Vets for years that there is a problem with my dog structurally. Recently, the lovely Vet that we saw confirmed my suspicions and agreed with me. Finally we have some answers and can now follow a treatment plan. I recommend The Natural Vets to all my clients and am pleasantly surprised to hear that some of them already take their loved companions there. Thank you Natural Vets for listening and caring
Response from the owner:Joanne, thank you so much for your heartfelt words, for valuing what we do, and for taking the time to express this. We are so happy to hear we have been able to help you on so many levels.
The kindest, most caring and knowledgeable people work here. They listen to their clients both the furry ones and their parents. They offer, wonderful alternatives in treatment as well as traditional ones and follow-up is impressive.
Response from the owner:Thank you Pamela! Such lovely feedback for our team.
They are the best vets and nurses in Australia! They really care and use holistic approaches, so I know my furbabies aren't being poisoned but cared for. They are 40 minutes away from me, but it is worth the drive. They are worth every cent, and you get what you pay for.
Response from the owner:Thank you Julie! It is so nice to hear this feedback for our team.
The Natural vets charged an extreme mark-up on the chinese herbal pills prescribed for my cat. It does not sit well with me as a reflection of the heart of this business. I bought online the same brand of herbal pills 300 for under $30. The natural vets charged me over $30 for 30 of them!! (from memory it was like $45) Essentially they were charging me $1.50 per pill for a pill I could buy for 10c!! As I paid over $400 for a telephone consultation, to then be overcharged so extremely for an ongoing prescription just seems well cruel, greedy and heartless. It serves them well doesn't it, if I'm giving two pills a day, essentially they are then making $2.80 profit off me a day! And god knows how many other poor clients trying to do the right thing for their pets on a tight budget. There was also a miscommunication in the prescription of the herbs and it took me three times of questioning the same prescription before they were able to clarify there had actually been a mistake and I had been giving my cat twice the amount.
Response from the owner:Hi Sonia. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. We understand this was disappointing for you, and we’d like to offer some clarity and insight. We know pricing can feel confusing when comparing online marketplaces with a full-service veterinary hospital. As an independent, Australian owned clinic, our costs reflect not only the medicine itself but also the professional time, safety checks, and compliance involved in sourcing, prescribing, and dispensing as part of a tailored treatment plan — things that online retailers don’t provide. Our apologies for the miscommunication with your cat’s prescription. That shouldn’t have happened, and we’ve taken steps to make sure it doesn’t occur again. Our team’s heart is fully invested in providing the best possible care for pets and their people with tailored solutions and expertise that other vets cannot offer. We can never compete with online sellers on pricing, but we trust that the expert guidance and support our team provides is unparalleled. We wish you all the best on your pet's healing journey. Warmly, The Natural Vets Team
If you want your pets to live a long and healthy life I cannot recommend The Natural Vets enough. I found them at a time where my middle aged dogs had a few ailments and were abandoned by my normal vets and told to euthanise one of them. I fortunately learned from TNV all the correct ways to feed and treat my dogs. They totally changed and lived happy long lives. With combinations of traditional and holistic daily lifestyle changes my dogs have lived a good life to 18yrs old (one is still going). Ive recently had my new dog spayed. After learning to wait until she was at least 12 months old I have put her body on the road to a strong and healthy life. I wish all pet owners could benefit from the knowledge The Natural Vets can offer. Its a real eye opener once I learned all the right ways I should have been looking after my pets for decades!
Response from the owner:Daniella, thank you! This is the BEST review, as this is exactly why we exist! To educate pet families about what their pets' need so they can live long, happy, healthy lives. So blessed to have pet owners like you who seek us out, take the information on board, and action it. It makes us happy to know we have had such a positive impact. Thank you.
The team is always so kind to me. They were were so accommodating to me and my whippet Sid who had injured himself yesterday. In particular, Sophie (I hope I remembered her name right) was so unbelievably kind and caring knowing I was really distressed so thank you so much!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for this beautiful review Gemma! It's always distressing when your pet injures themself, and you have an unexpected vet bill! Glad we were able to help, and isn't Sophie amazing, we love her too.
We have been taking our dog Toki to the natural vets for over a year now and each and every visit is made comfortable by the incredible nurses staff and vets. Due to his diagnosis we do go a lot! With monthly visits, the girls make Toki feel loved and welcomed each and every time making a not so nice diagnosis that little bit easier. Thank you for all you do for our boy ❤️
Response from the owner:Thank you Tori, we all love when Toki visits, he is such a beautiful soul, with such dedicated, caring fur parents. We are blessed to be chosen as his veterinary care team! Updated August 2025: RIP Toki 🙁
Thankyou for recognising Grace as the Star of the Day. As she is the star of my house, it is therefore important for me to have loving, caring Vets looking after her health and wellbeing. The calm and happy atmosphere in the rooms soothes both me and Grace when we visit the Natural Vets or when there is a planned procedure. I am also grateful for the photos taken at every stage of her operation, accompanied by a comprehensive explanation of the sequence of events and instructions for aftercare. Five stars from me!
Response from the owner:Thank you Dianne. She was such a little star, and it sounds like that's always the case!
All the staff are caring and very professional. We wouldn't go anywhere else Patch responds very well to natural medicine and all the cuddles she gets
Response from the owner:Thank you Helen. We adore our cuddles with Patch too, she is such a sweetheart!
I travel 100km from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast to bring my dog, Maisy, to The Natural Vets and it's absolutely worth it! Their integrative approach - combining conventional medicine with homeopathy, acupuncture, herbs and nutrition - has significantly improved Maisy's health and well-being. The entire team is so lovely, friendly and supportive and I have complete trust in Dr Renee – her expertise and genuine care are unparalleled. I usually show up to my appointments armed with enough questions to make a vet reconsider their career choices, but Dr Renee patiently works through every question. If you're looking for compassionate, knowledgeable care, The Natural Vets are the best choice!
Response from the owner:Julie, we love your commitment to always doing the best for Maisy, and all your questions 🤣. Thank you for your continued loyalty, you have been part of us for so long now whenever you and Maisy visit it feels like I am catching up with old friends! -Renee.
We first encountered The Natural Vets, after receiving a devastating "terminal cancer" diagnosis for our beloved 11 yr old rescue dog, Murphy - who had been sent home to "palliate". At that time I had no idea that "integrative, holistic" veterinary care was available - but was thrilled to discover that we had such an extraordinary service, right here on the Sunshine Coast! The treatment plan for Murphy was supportive and comprehensive - Homoeopathy, Acupuncture, IV Vitamin C, Chinese Herbs etc .... all of which gave Murphy, and us, another six and a half "great quality" months ... which we were so very grateful for! Since then, sadly, we had a terminal diagnosis for Bowie, another beautiful rescue boy. The only clinic we considered taking him to was The Natural Vets. I cannot speak highly enough about the whole team at this clinic - their kindness and obvious love for animals , knowledge and professionalism is absolutely second to none.
Response from the owner:Thank you Jacqui, for your trust in us, especially at such critical times in your pets' lives facing cancer. May Murphy and Bowie both rest in peace. And we are delighted to now care for the gorgeous Bonnie - such a sweetheart she is!
It’s been wonderful to finally find a vet practice that is supportive of a more natural approach to health care and diet. Dr Vikki has been wonderful with our two dogs Bella & Basil, and all of the staff are so kind and caring. Basil was in the very best of hands during his recent stay for a dental procedure and made a fast recovery. Edited 06-03-2025: We have now been going to The Natural Vets for 7 years and are truly blessed to have such an amazing team to take care of our pets. Always providing such a high standard of care with such love and compassion at every step. A special thankyou to Dr Renee and Dr Henry in particular who go above and beyond to ensure our babies get the best of care.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for your kind feedback Ann-Marie. We are blessed to have a wonderful team here at The Natural Vets all dedicated to the compassionate care of pets like Basil. And he was such a trooper yesterday, a dental at 16 years of age with a heart condition! Oh my! He did so well.
had our golden retriever there for over a year now started with one vet who put us in there “magic” homeopathic treatment and changed to an all natural diet. the diet is good for him. homeopathic did not do anything even after lots of adjustments to the treatment , was told he would be fixed in approx 12 months and that yes he can be fixed for his skin issue , we persisted but very hard to get an appointment with same vet so was told we can change to one of there other vets , ok so we did and that vet wanted to start over like she didn’t agree with harry’s diagnoses so we did what she wanted to do.(chinese herbs) at this point it was costing us approxr $600 every 3 weeks. so we tried to book him back in to see this same vet but was told she is away for around 2 months but we can use one of there other vets. at this stage we pretty much had enough of there constant mis diagnoses and stuffing us around with there bookings. we would make a booking then they would change it at al later date. we drive 1 hour to them every time for the appointment. was told these guys were great but had nothing but bad experience with them they care more if lining there pockets them actually helping pets get better. i suppose we should of done some better research of this buisness stay away people they are full of false hope. it’s a very stressful time watching your pet go through this and told they will fix them but just take your money and don’t care at all.
Response from the owner:Hi Ben, thanks for the feedback, for "Dr Harry" (we don't have a Dr Harry lol) and the rest of our team. It's never easy having a pet suffer with ongoing skin troubles, especially when the proposed solutions don't achieve the hoped for outcomes. I can see in Caesar's record you have been committed to trying to sort out his chronic pre-existing skin issues. I also see that we have never promised it would be easy, or magical. (It would be lovely if we did have magic wands for these difficult cases, but sadly we don't.) We hope that if you choose to continue working with us, we can achieve a more optimal outcome for Caesar and sort out his issues, once and for all.
The veterinary care is good and thorough, but how the clinic handles supplements leaves a fair bit to be desired. Over a relatively short amount of time (~ 4-6 months) I’ve had supplements either: i) not being sent ii) sent without insulation/ice pack/keep-in-shade-label and/or tracking, resulting in the homeopathics being left in full sun for hours by the postman therefore obviously being very warm, but apparently somehow that didn’t affect their efficacy, despite the clinic’s own instructions stating they were to be kept cool (among a whole other number of strict storing requirements) iii) a $50 supplement was prescribed only to be changed 3 weeks after receiving it. Dosage is miniscule, meaning a complete waste of $50 and a bag of practically unused supplement iv) herbs that according to instructions are “to be kept with lid tightly closed and shaken before use” and given in very small dose, arrive in hard clumps that are impossible to separate and therefore shake as instructed and dose properly. No assistance was given with this except to say that despite the herbs not being shakable and properly measurable their efficacy remained unchanged. Personally I found the above frustrating, especially as it required a lot of time back and forth trying to work things out. Despite being gracious and understanding about issues in the first couple of instances, there was no acknowledgment (let alone apology or gesture of good will) for the inconveniences caused (except for some acknowledgment in the last episode, but only after being prompted to it by me). Also one particular mushroom supplement I was able to buy at half the price elsewhere online (most of the other supplements are custom sold by TNV only, so not price-comparable). I get that vet clinics generally have a substantial markup, but double the price is off-putting. Lastly, communication between staff appears to be average, necessitating multiple back & forth correspondence various times and a ten day wait for a vet answer in one particular instance. I could just have had bad luck on a string of occasions, but unfortunately for me it was enough to seriously question the effectiveness of the treatment and now having to look for an alternative holistic vet while in the midst of my ill cat’s care plan. Overall I’m not sure I would recommend them.
Response from the owner:Thank you Giordana for this comprehensive feedback. I can see you have experienced a number of difficulties, and your input is both valued and appreciated. I will be taking this review back to my team to discuss all the finer details and improve the systems we have in place, with the goal being to resolve them all! Good luck with your search for a replacement holistic vet for Betibu! We recommend Dr Kathy Cornack, based in Newcastle, for NSW-based clients. - Dr Renee.
Very thorough vet service using natural remedies where possible
Response from the owner:Thanks Karen for the 5-stars!
Good vets & staff Look after my last Poodle now my senour rescue
Response from the owner:Thanks Judy, we love seeing what is possible with a holistic approach, glad we could help Bella where nobody else could.
The Natural vet is by far not your typical vet, the amount of care, consideration attention to detail is outstanding, the entire team has a really holistic approach, they are calm and they really put the time in for you and your pet. We have been getting treatments here for our Lab for some time and we are very happy with his progress. Also this is the first ever clinic he has liked coming to. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Love hearing this thanks Nick, and so glad we have been able to improve the outcome for Ollie! We love it when he visits too, he is such a happy chap.

We began going to Dr Henry when he was flying solo at Kawana Waters with only Amanda many years ago with our gorgeous rottweiler girl Abbey to keep her in peak condition. He helped her immensely with hip dysplasia and arthritis. Since then, our beautiful greyhound girl Daphne was diagnosed with Insulinoma (Pancreatic Cancer) at the age of 12 with a prognosis of only 6 months. She was put on a lifetime course of glucocorticoids by a conventional vet as an offer of chemotherapy at $450 / month was a bit out of reach and would have affected her bone marrow. Daphne, being a very nervous dog would have endured overwhelming stress having visits to the vet for endless blood tests. She would have been a good candidate to receive Dr Henry's Intravenous Vit C Infusions but this also meant continually visiting the vet. The stress was just not worth it so we thought the best thing to do would be online consults with Dr Henry. This worked out super! With the caring and careful advice from Dr Henry and a view to heal her, he took his time and prescribed homeopathic treatments, along with mushrooms Chinese herbs and a prescribed tweaked keto diet, we were extremely lucky to have Daphne not for only 6 months, but a year and 6 months! We couldn't have done better for such an aggressive cancer thanks to Dr Henry and staff. Unfortunately, Daphne did succumb to breathing difficulties in the end as it was such an aggressive cancer and we decided to let her go at the age of 13.
I can’t rate high enough to The Natural Vets, particularly Dr. Donna!!! My cat, Soda suffered from continuous UTI problem (urine with blood), we gave her antibiotic which was given by our previous vet. It did stopped her blood every time until the treatment finished and few days later, the blood came back! I realized that it wasn’t really treat her from the root of the problem but cure the symptom only. Giving my cat antibiotics would also lead negative impact to her health. So I started to google if there’s any vet who provides treatments in natural ways. Luck me!!! I found The Natural Vets!!!! They spent around 2.5 hours in the first consultation which included understanding my cat’s background, analyzing the balancing inside her body and giving her acupuncture. She was also given homeopathic remedies, natural herbs and supplements. And now, she’s 100% recovered with only 3 visits!!! That’s soooo amazing!!! Thank you Dr Donna and those professional nurses. You all are the best!!!
Response from the owner:This is so great to hear Phoebe, thanks for the feedback, and well done Soda and Dr Donna!
So greatful that we found this vet. They take the time to genuinely assess your pets overall health, environment, diet, behaviour etc. Highly recommend the natural vets and their services
Response from the owner:Thanks Bex for taking the time to review us, this means a lot to our team! Hope Fynn is doing well.
Dr Henry you are an amazing, kind and very knowledgeable Vet. Im so grateful for your care and expertise and wonderful results with Jack Bear. Im so glad you are his saving grace in many times that his needed it. And, he loves you.
Response from the owner:Thanks Jasmyn, glad Dr Henry has been able to be of such support to Jack Bear, we love him too!
I would highly recommend the natural vet, in particular Dr.Donna. Our young and very active dog Koa had an impact on his spine and right shoulder. Dr. Donna treated him with both acupuncture and chiropractic work. He is well and truly on the way to recovery.
Response from the owner:Thank you Gena for your kind words for our beautiful gentle Dr Donna and for your exceptional commitment Koa's care.
Dr Henri, was amazing, super knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you Maria, he certainly is! We all benefit from his wisdom.
Great vet and vet nurses. So kind and generous with their time. Great options for preventative healthcare too
Response from the owner:Thank you Jess, it's nice to hear that our whole team and our approach is so appreciated.
Love being able to get natural health choices for our pets.
Response from the owner:Thank you, we love offering them!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the 5 stars Jan! And for your exceptional dedication to your pets. We hope Lucy is doing well!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the 5 stars and for your dedication to Freddie's care, travelling all the way from Brisbane to see us!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the 5 stars Kynah, and for bringing the lost dog in - we found their owner!
Wow. The Natural Vets are amazing! When we took our American staffy puppy named Abby to the Natural Vets for the first time, we were expecting it to be stressful for her as she hadn’t been to the vets since she was 7 weeks (she was 6 months old at the time). But we were pleasantly surprised that she was mostly calm. Dr. Nicole took time to not only give her a very thorough physical exam, but she also wanted to know Abby’s personality and her tendencies. We didn’t want to give Abby any shots and the vet was very respectful of that. Abby had a titre test to make sure that she was protected from diseases as she did have 2 shots when she was 7 weeks old. The vet had a mat on the floor and did all the physical exam on the ground which Abby liked a lot. I mean who wants to be high of the ground on a table with a stranger poking and prodding you. Abby being a staffy likes to jump up a lot on people and give punch kisses, but the vet didn’t seem as bothered by Abby’s naughty behaviour as much as me and my mum were. Abby had Chinese herbs which she didn’t like, but as she had hurt her leg, we had to give her something to help with the pain. Taking Abby to The Natural Vets cost a lot of money but well worth it. We have just recently taken Abby to the vet again (she is now 1 year old) because she had bad skin issues that were making her uncomfortable. Again, Dr. Nicole not only wanted to know what she has been eating but what emotional stress Abby had recently experienced. After a bit more was done to see what else it could be, we concluded that the antibiotics she had when she had an emergency spay at another clinic, and the trauma of the pyometra, both had caused her gut health to become unhealthy and imbalanced. So now she is on some probiotics, Chinese herbs (which she likes this time!), flax seed oil and a homeopathic remedy. I mean who would have guessed that animals too needed Chinese herbs. A big thank you to Dr Nicole and the rest of the team! The Natural Vets gives you and your fur Baby the best care and they actually care about you and your fur baby. They love your fur baby as much as you do. I have full trust in them with Abby. Animal health over profit. We will keep taking her here but when it comes to surgeries The Natural Vet can be a little costly, but it might be worth it in the long run? Thank you guys, once again for making our experience and Abby experience wonderful. Abby even fell asleep at her appointment. That just says a lot for the calming environment at the vet clinic as Abby is a party animal and loves people but even she felt the calm energy.
Response from the owner:Oh my gosh we love that she fell asleep in the consult room! She certainly must have felt at ease. What beautiful feedback for Dr Nicole and our team, thank you Kira & Abby for joining our tribe, for loving what we do, and for writing us a review!
Best vet I've been to. They take the time to explain things to you. Have great recommendations on how to treat various things. Super friendly staff.
Response from the owner:Thankyou Michael, what lovely feedback!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the 5 stars Jye!
This was our first visit to Natural Vets since relocating to the Sunshine Coast. Donna and Bec were fantastic with our dog. I am so glad we found this place and highly recommend them to others.
Response from the owner:Thanks Joe, lovely to hear. We hope Jazz enjoyed her visit too!
Very compassionate and experienced staff. You see they genuinely care about your fur babies. I highly recommend them!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this beautiful feedback Simone!
Very caring. I'm positive my dogs life has been extended over 2 years due to the care received. She is 16 and still runs around, so good to see.
Response from the owner:We love hearing these stories of how we can support the oldies to continue to enjoy life well beyond usual expectations. Thanks Kerry!

Dr. Henry is such an incredibly valuable member of our community. I find it hard to put into words, the gratitude I have for this genuinely compassionate vet with considerable knowledge in his field. He has provided such wonderful support for my dog Skip for some time now. Skip has been on a long, remarkable journey with Henry which started with Skip's mast cell tumours. Skippy had endured very traumatic experiences with conventional vets and at that stage we had very little faith left. 4 years later and Skip's wellbeing has been remarkable! Henry has supported skip's wellbeing over the years in the most therapeutic ways with nutritional supplements and homeopathic remedies that have enabled Skip to manage to thrive 'over and over'. Dr Henry has always treated Skip's whole body, not just necessarily the affected area. He identifies the cause of the problem rather than just treating symptoms. Dr Henry always examines Skip, advises, educates and encourages me to improve through lifestyle, nutrition and the incredible homeopathic remedies he provides us with. When on the operating table over the years he is always supported with accupuncture, intravenous vitamin c etc to ensure he makes a speeding recovery as well as receiving tests/bloods and quality supplements prior to any surgery to ensure his organs are strong enough to get through the operation successfully and make a good recovery. Henry always listens to my intimate knowledge of my dog and gives his complete attention and answers all the questions I have so I can better support Skip. I think of Skippy as my son and am forever grateful to Dr Henry for his considerable knowledge, which has most certainly prolonged the years we have had with out precious boy. Now, Skip has a new challenge to work through...bowel cancer!! Athough we have moved a long way from the practice and unable to see Henry face to face, his support from afar has allowed us to feel safe and supported to tackle the next stages of Skip's journey. Dr Henry truly is such a 'wonderful vet' and a 'quality person' and we are incredibly grateful to have had him as such an integral part of Skip's journey. Henry you have given us more than you wil ever know! We are forever grateful to you always! Skippy and Aimee, Atherton Tablelands.
Response from the owner:Thank you Aimee, so glad to hear you and Skip are doing well and continuing to find benefit from our supportive and natural therapies, even from the greater distance now!
Response from the owner:Thank you Justin for the 5 stars!
Very caring vets. Great to have clever minds in holistic approach to remedies. Friendly staff who will take the time to explain and always follow up. Can not recommend better.

Highly qualified and experienced staff who genuinely care about your pet. They look for causes and solutions, rather than just treating symptoms. They offer alternative therapies as well. My 13 year old Ridgeback is much more mobile and has reduced pain after massage therapy and acupuncture, combined with herbal remedies. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you Kerry, it is wonderful to see the results we get with integrated care, especially where conventional options can sometimes fail or offer only limited solutions.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the 5 stars Kristo! Always a pleasure having Diesel in the clinic, he is such a champion.

The Natural Vets were great in supporting our little dog during a long couple of weeks at another vet who was too ill to be transferred. Amanda and the team went out of their way to provide what we needed. They have been compassionate and caring to us during this difficult time. Thanks Guys
Response from the owner:Thanks for this beautiful feedback Norm and the mention particularly of Amanda's care.
We've recently taken our very sick German Shepherd Meggs to se Dr Catherine. As soon as you walk into the clinic, you feel immediately optimistic and calm. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help in any way. Dr Catherine and her team went above and beyond with all the information and treatment plan for Meggs. Giving us plenty of information and steps to try get her back on track. Even receiving a follow up call to check on how Meggs is going and contacting us when they say they will. Highly recommend to anyone who seeking much needed help for their animal families.
Response from the owner:Thankyou Cherice for this feedback. Meggs is battling some major troubles and Dr Catherine will love hearing how well supported you felt. We are so blessed to have her, she is amazing!
We took our elderly dog, Gypsy, to the Natural Vets as she had been diagnosed with Cushing's disease. A few years ago Gypsy had Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) and had aggressive traditional treatment over a period of 18 months. That treatment saved her life but it really took the 'life' out of her and we did not want to put her through anything like that again. We wanted to help her but not at the expense of her happiness. After doing some research we found The Natural Vets. We made the trip up from Brisbane to Forest Glen and we are so glad we did. Everyone at the Surgery was wonderful. Doctor Catherine was very thorough and so very gentle with Gypsy. Doctor Catherine provided us with a holistic plan to help Gypsy cope with her symptoms. It has been less than a week but we couldn't be happier with the difference it has made to Gypsy. We are very grateful ❤.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your feedback Lesley. We are so happy Gypsy is already feeling better. Dr Catherine is amazing, and she cares so much!!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the 1 star review! Would love to know if we have seen you in the clinic as we don't have anything on file in your name Ana.
Response from the owner:Thanks for your 5 star review David 🐾
We drove 400km round trip to see Dr Henry for our 2 senior dog’s. I’ve never met a vet like him before, he spent 1.5 hours per dog reading all their previous files, test results, doing full blood panels, asking me so many questions, diet, exercise, habits, sleep etc etc. He did chinese acupuncture on each dog and made up homeopathic remedies for me to add to their diet: Our next appointment will be via zoom. This vet is so through with each animal we were there half a day with 2 dogs. Highly recommend Dr Henry and his awesome team, they are not desensitised and really care about your pets and you. I’m so glad I did my research and found them. Thank you.
Response from the owner:Thanks for your kind review Luana. Hopefully we can get their health improving quickly.
Expensive
Response from the owner:Thanks for the feedback Frank. Based on industry surveys, we are not the most expensive vet in our region. We offer unique services not found elsewhere and hope our patients benefit from these options.

Lovely people who really understand animals and take great care in looking after our fur baby.

In May 2020 Dr Henry was the fourth vet I visited with my dog Pippa, who had been unwell and miserable for some time. He was the only one who diagnosed her with cancer and immediately put her on a herbs, supplements, vit c and homeopathic regimen. Pip recovered and became once more the happy, energetic dog she'd always been, all signs of cancer gone. I can't recommend The Natural Vets highly enough. Not only because of the treatments, but because of the kindness, care and helpfulness of all of the staff members. Pippa was recently PTS because of her bad arthritis. Pippa was like a loving sister to me. Losing her has been a deeply traumatic experience. The love and care everyone involved showed me and my baby was just wonderful and in stark and direct contrast to the way other vets handled my previous dog's death. A heartfelt thank you to The Natural Vets for all you have have done for Pippa and me.
Response from the owner:Thank you Hanita for your very kind words. We were blessed to have known Pippa, such a gentle soul she was. Although the arthritis and ligament rupture was too much for her to bear in the end, we were able to honour her time of passing with the care and compassion she deserved. May the memories of her time here continue to comfort your heart forever more.

Response from the owner:Thanks for the 5 star review!
This is the best vets we've ever taken our dogs to. I hardly ever write reviews but it was worth it to us to spread the word of this great clinic. Previous vets haven't been very thorough with our dogs and left out important info which made us feel in the dark - the COMPLETE opposite is true of The Natural Vets! They inform you about everything, they go through the condition with great detail, let you know about costs, different treatment options etc and also offer alternative therapies which has been very beneficial to our pets healing. I think the biggest thing is that this clinic takes their TIME with your animals and they truly care for animals as much as humans. We are so happy with the treatment of Peanut and will keep coming back and spreading the word on how great it is. Thank you guys! 🙂
Response from the owner:Thank you Emma, Peanut completely won all the staff's hearts she is just the cutest little dame! So glad she is feeling better than ever now.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5 star review Jerry!
Really wonderful vet, traditional vet medicine is often more harmful than good. My cat needed specialist heart surgery and it was able to be done right on the premises by a specialist rather than having to go to Brisbane. They gave her natural potions to take before the surgery to help her through and recover quickly - she was nearly 13 at the time and came through with flying colours. I wish all vets had the training and holistic experience that these guys do!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the great feedback!! We hope Madeleine Rose, the jetsetting glamourpuss (who loves nothing more than rolling in sheep poo), is enjoying her new life in England!⁠
Our dog was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given around 3 months to live. We were in the process of moving to the Sunshine Coast and our vet back home suggested The Natural Vet. Right now the lumps have shrunk and we can’t find them! He is happy and has a new sparkle in his eye. The regime is time consuming and takes a bit to get into the swing of, however, we have our fur baby with us and living a good quality of life. The staff are all lovely and compassionate, I am so happy to have found this option for our pets.
Response from the owner:What a great outcome Dianne, so glad we were able to help. Dr Viki will be very pleased to hear the outcome.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the gold stars!
Sarsha's favourite place to go. We love them very caring about your pet. So good we travel an hour to get there.

Extremely professional, caring and helpful. We drive from Brisbane to see (the amazing) Dr Henry for our 11 year old ShihTzu, Bentley who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't been recommended to The Natural Vets as they have been nothing short of amazing with the way that they are treating Bentley, so compassionate, helpful and caring. Bentley is stronger and healthier than ever thanks to the treatment he is receiving from Dr Henry and the brilliant Team at the Natural Vets. Thank you so much 🙂
Response from the owner:So glad Bentley is doing so well; he certainly has a strong spirit and keeps us all entertained during his visits. Caring for cancer patients is one of our passions, the options in conventional practice are so limited. Well done Bentley for fighting this and becoming stronger and healthier in the process!
Thanks so much for taking such great care of Mittens and following up to see how she was doing. Really appreciate what a great service you have.
Response from the owner:Thanks Georgie for the lovely feedback (and for being our surprise film extra on the day!). I see from Mittens file that she is doing well so far - great news! We will see you back soon for her recheck.
A very efficient and friendly team!

Recently I have had a long talk with Dr Vicky about vaccination and tick protection and I am very confident now to go a chemical free way for my doggy girl. We are doing regular titre tests and heart worm larvae tests from now on and as long as the results are great I avoid vaccines and chemicals like nextguard etc. So far everything is going well with sucker punch for worming and tick resist and I couldn’t wish for better advice on my dog’s health and wellbeing. I am so glad to be able to work with a vet who uses a holistic approach in addition to conventional veterinary medicine.
Response from the owner:Glad to hear we could help you reduce the toxic inputs for your pets and give you confidence in walking the natural path. 🙏

Dr Henry has been looking after our dogs for about 30 years. We have so much confidence in his recommendations for the well being of our dogs we now drive 150 ks each way to see him. Just recently we took our 16 year old poodle to him as she was not well and we were heading overseas so concerned about leaving her with the dog sitters. Her kidney results weren't good but within a week of his hands on treatment and daily use of homeopathic treatment she has bounced back and full of life. So happy to recommend the whole team at the Natural Vets.
Response from the owner:Christine we are so blessed to have long-term clients like yourselves who understand the benefits of a holistic path. Thankyou (and your animals) for being a wonderful advocate for what we do!
We took our then two and half year old bichon (Louie) to see Dr Renee approx. 2 years ago due to allergy issues which had been getting progressively worse even though he was being prescribed steroids and other medication by our previous vet. Dr Renee was very thorough in assessing Louie and recommended a change to a single protein raw food diet along with some herbal remedies to assist with boosting the dog's immunity and some skin soothing cream to help alleviate the itching on his ears and feet. Over the following year, with Dr Renee's guidance by both email and phone, we succeeded in extending Louie's diet to four main single protein complete meals, he no longer requires herbal supplements and his itching has completed resolved. Louie is now a much happier and healthier dog. We are so appreciative having the help of Dr Renee and the other staff at the Natural Vets and would recommend them to anyone seeking the professional services of a empathetic, caring and considerate veterinary team.
Response from the owner:Awww this warms my heart thank you Gary. I am so pleased with the results we achieved together for Louie. He is such a delight! - Dr Renee.

Our Mini Schnauzer Gemma was diagnosed with Leukemia in March 2018 and 14 months later, under the special care of Dr Henry Stephenson, she has done amazingly well. Following a strict regime of holistic treatment, Gemma is testament to Dr Stephenson's knowledge and care. He NEVER gave up on her and we are forever thankful.
Response from the owner:Thankyou Noela. You have had a rough time with Gemma getting so sick, and then losing Barney to cancer as well so suddenly. We hope that Gemma will continue to be strong and healthy for many years to come yet.

We’re so glad we took our 10 year old cat Cosy to The Natural Vet when she fell sick recently. They were very attentive, helpful and we love the alternative medicines that they gave us to make her better. We will never go anywhere else! 🐱🐱

Marley had been experiencing an issue that I couldn't get resolved. I didn't want to put him on medication, steroids etc. if there was a natural solution. I was referred to Dr Henry by my homeopath. Dr Henry was thorough and I found he really cared about helping Marley. After a couple of visits and me making a comment that Marley always gets bitten by ants, Dr Henry was able to match the remedy that solved Marley's ongoing problem. I now understand why it is necessary to take note of what is happening with our pets, it delivers a picture for the vet. Homeopathy is wonderful and so is The Natural Vets. Thanks Dr Henry and team.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback, what a great result for Marley!

Our dog is so sensitive and over the years he has been called 'boy in the bubble' I thought we would just have to put up with his issues. About four years ago we discovered The Natural Vets and the care they have given our furbaby is second to none. I can't recommend these guys enough. I know I still have my little mate due to the care he has been given. For that I am truly grateful
Response from the owner:Bear certainly has thrown plenty of challenges our way Kerrilee! So glad we could help him discover that life outside the bubble is so much better!
the best vet ever
Response from the owner:Aww thanks Andy, that is great to hear!
We had a very bad experience at this vet nearly resulting in the loss of our beautiful greyhound. They didn't act on obvious signs of pain and distress, and advised us to have $1400 worth of tests and treatments that made our greyhound worse. After consulting with a different vet for a second opinion, five months later with a correct diagnosis, our greyhound is still going strong and very happy.
Response from the owner:Hi Jen, thanks for the feedback. It is great to hear that Sammie is going strong now. Dr Viki had only seen him for an initial visit and was very concerned at the time about a possible disc prolapse. The tests that were done on the day included bloods, x-rays and an ultrasound by our consultant, and the costs of these do certainly add up - especially when other treatments are done on the same day. Our clinic policy is to communicate all costs before proceeding and I trust this was done. Due to Sammie's stress levels with vet visits and the distance you needed to travel, we were unable to assist further. We are glad you have found a solution closer to home that works for you and Sammie and that he has now recovered. Greyhounds are beautiful animals and we adore them.

My long coat German Shepherd Kaiser, first attended The Natural Vets in November last year. He is now ten years old and he has been an amazing animal. He has had roles in two feature films, two short films, tv commercials, and to top it off he’s been an American calendar boy! To say that he is the light of our lives is an understatement. He has had quite a few health issues and our recent move from interstate meant we needed to find a new vet for him. After considerable research we decided to give The Natural Vets a try. We travel from Noosa on a regular basis so he can see Dr. Henry and we would not take him anywhere else now. He is doing really well and we expect only the best for our star. We can’t recommend them highly enough for anyone who is looking for the best care for their precious animals.
Response from the owner:Kaiser certainly is a handsome fellow with so many achievements! We are thankful for your commitment to a holistic path, and so pleased he is continuing to be a star in every way.

I can't say enough about how much we appreciate the care Renee and all the team have given our dogs Tom and Lola. They all care so much for the animals. Tom was revived from the brink of death recently, we didn't think he would survive...all due to the love and dedication of the team at The Natural Vets....I think a good way to judge a good vet is if your pet is happy to go there...our dogs love it. Thank you so much.
Response from the owner:Awww, thanks Diane. Love Tom and Lola, they are such gorgeous souls to treat, and Tom just keeps battling on when any challenge arises. Amazing dogs you have!
Highly recommend this practice. Have been a client of Dr Henry for 10 years with my whippet now 14 and my Italian Greyhound 11 years old, which Henry was able to save with homeopathic remedies when she was very ill. Extremely caring and helpful over the years. Amanda has been there the entire time I have been going and is so lovely and caring and my interactions with the other staff have always been professional yet warm and friendly.
Response from the owner:Thankyou Aeon for your kind words. Amanda has been a long-term loyal staff member and genuinely cares about all our clients and patients. She will be grateful for this feedback, as will Dr Henry and the rest of our team.

I have been a client of The Natural Vets for almost 2 years now, I initially came to the clinic seeking alternative therapies for my Dog who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and given 3 months maximum to live and would be medicated over this time to keep him comfortable. Dr Renee and Dr Henry treated my dog with Chinese herbs, homeopathy, Vitamin C infusions, acupuncture and a raw diet change, we ended up having my boy around for 7 months with a high quality of life (in fact up until the last month and his visual skin lesions you wouldn't have know he was sick!). All the staff at the clinic are amazing, each time we visited which was quiet regularly! We were made to feel so welcome, nothing was ever to much trouble and both my dogs always got so excited when we arrived getting plenty of smooches and treats from the nurses. I can't thank the nursing staff enough for making what can be quiet a stressful experience a pleasant one. Dr Renee & Dr Henry's support during the time my dogs quality of life started to deteriorate was short of amazing, with regular check ins and support whenever I needed it. Dr Renee did a house visit and laid my boy to rest in our home, extremely peaceful and just went that extra mile to make the process as stress free as possible. Dr Renee & Dr Henry, now treat all my animals....even our chickens have visited a few times! Thank you to everyone at The Natural Vets, I highly recommend the clinic
Response from the owner:What beautiful feedback for our whole team, thankyou! Has been amazing being part of your journey into animal wellness.

Kaiser is a dashing chap, he is a movie star and part time dog model. Kaiser recently relocated from Melbourne to Noosa to enjoy his retirement. Over the years he has been on a lot of heavy medication for his joint and allergy issues. He is now nearly ten years old and it appears that the strong medication was impacting on his health generally and specifically. It was not surprising, however, hearing that he was in the early stages of kidney disease was very sobering. The choice was to continue with the steroids, meloxicam and apoquel and consequently put more stress on his suffering kidneys or embark on a new path altogether, one that included slowly withdrawing him from the “heavy stuff” and putting him on homeopathic medication and natural herbs. I was worried that his pain levels would increase and that his skin would drive him crazy, I was a little sceptical about the change but I thought it was worth a go! It requires diligence, I made sure he got exactly what was prescribed and I monitored his reactions. He had a number of blood tests to check his kidney function and initially the nasty levels kept rising. I felt that his pain level was greater too, but it’s hard to tell with a stoic dog. I thought this was the beginning of a downhill slide for him. He also had a saliva test which was sent to the USA to find out what foods he was allergic too and the results were amazing. I had always fed him a natural diet but I was actually giving him the things he had reactions too, like white fish, salmon, venison. He is now off all those things, free range chicken and beef are his main stay now and his itchiness has gone! At the time of writing, he has just had another blood test to check his kidney function, the results were all completely within a normal healthy range! To say that I’m thrilled is an understatement, I think Dr Henry, his vet, was a little chuffed too. So the new more natural path to health has probably given him the chance for a longer healthier life. He will continue to go to the Natural Vet for the rest of his life, nothing but the best for him. I cannot recommend them highly enough if Kaiser’s experience is anything to go by. He has been put on a new path to total wellness. P.S the steroids, apoquel and meloxicam have safely been thrown out!
Response from the owner:What a fabulous result for Kaiser! So glad to hear he is responding so well and no longer needs the "heavy stuff"!
Ok
Response from the owner:5 stars! Thank you Angelika.

I booked a phone consult as I live interstate and was extremely happy with the insightful education I received about how to better care for my dog, and how to prevent future illness. I learned heaps and education is always an investment. I really appreciated how empowered I felt, Im able to be a more informed consumer coz I was so dis-empowered and felt helpless due to conventional vets prescribing nothing but antibiotics repeatedly for everything. I wish more vets would offer a more holistic approach to pet care, instead of just suppressive therapies.Thank you so much for your individual approach, its time and money well spent. I highly recommend this clinic

Response from the owner:Wow, what amazing feedback thank John!
A few years back Henry treated a dog called Louise that we were looking after for a friend. For many years she had experienced horrific skin problems and used to experience an infection between her paws and in her ears. She had seen countless vets to no avail and one local vet even called her jokingly "a milking cow" because her condition could never be cured and she would always be in need of expensive steroids!!! So I researched and came upon Henry and took her for a couple of visits to Warana. His receptionist/ vet nurse were very welcoming and helpful. We had a very long consultation where Henry asked me extensive questions about Louise but then he really focused on her and her movements, her behaviour, her smelland really tuned into the essence of this poor long suffering dog with an "incurable chronic condition". He is not one if those vets who is there for all the social chat with the owner he is there for THE PET THEMSELVES. Henry recommended various things to rectify the problem plus gave us some natural medications and after about a month the problem had gone and never returned again. In my book Henry performed a miracle. After this we took our own dog to Henry for any treatment she needed. When she died it was lovely to receive a card from the surgery offering g their condolences, which I thought was a lovely touch too.
Response from the owner:June thanks for this incredible feedback. Dr Henry certainly is a wizard when it comes to healing animals!
Very supportive staffs.
Response from the owner:Thankyou Ayca, we love our team!
I highly recommend this vet practice. I have seen 3 of the vets at various times with our cat and chickens, and received great care and treatment.

Really top quality care and attention. We have a Devon Rex cat which has had plenty of issues not treated well by traditional vets. It took me some time to accept that animals respond to both traditional and herbal medicine but I'm convinced due to a huge improvement in my pet's health.

Great for Charlie the dog when he had to be unzipped to remove a corn cob that had plugged him up. Always friendly. Priced a bit more but I'd say worth it. If your dog isn't into Chinese spices and homoeopathic pain killers then probably not your place. Having said this they do use proper vet tactics so your animal is in good hands!

All the staff at the Natural vets are hands down the most loviest caring people/vets/nurses we have ever been to and wow we have been to a few. They go above and beyond to make you and you pet feel welcome and cared for. I know for sure my animals will be getting the best treatment available. THANKS GUYS!
Response from the owner:Thanks Leonie-Jo, it's so nice to hear when our efforts are appreciated!
I have no problems making the five hour round trip to The Natural Vets to make sure my dog gets the best possible veterinary care.
Response from the owner:We love having Zoe at the clinic, and only wished you lived closer so she could visit us more! She is such a darling girl. Thanks for the great review Bruce, and for your dedication to Zoe's well-being.
Dr Renee is very caring for any animals
Response from the owner:Thanks Clarke - yes Dr Renee is a gem!
Henry, Viki and the team at Natural Vet are very caring and professional, highly recommend them.
Response from the owner:Thanks Trevor for your kind words of recommendation.

Henry has been our chosen vet for many years and now Renee has come on board, we know our pets cannot be in better hands. We are so grateful for their 'natural' approach to pet care ...it is how animals should be treated! Sound advice on natural treatments, diet and exercise has meant long and healthy lives for our pets. A huge thank you to Henry and Renee, Amanda and Tammy...we so appreciate your experience and your kind, loving manner.
Fantastic service! It's so refreshing to have found a vet that have your pets best interest in check. Caring and knowledgeable team, we couldn't have asked for more, we love The Natural Vets!
Response from the owner:Thankyou Adriana. It's always lovely to see you and Vida at the clinic, and we love following your photography work as well!
Even though we have moved 150ks from Sunshine coast we still return to Henry Stevenson, His knowledge and holistic care for our dogs is worth the drive. Also Tammy and Amanda the nurses are fantastic
Response from the owner:Thankyou Christine for your loyalty, travelling all the way from Tin Can Bay so we can look after your girls!
The best there is
Response from the owner:Thankyou Melinda, we think you're awesome too!

We have been customers for 20 years, in this time Henry has cared for our 5 Cavaliers. I have a Cav with SM and the results with on going treatment in the last four years have given my girl Penny a better quality of life and her seizures are now only occasional. Henry and his dedicated Team are truly outstanding in providing the very best in Veterinary care.
Fantastic service that provides alternatives for all pets.
Response from the owner:Thanks Jenny for continuing to be a champion of our service.
Only vets I've ever been to that generally care and value your pets welbeing (and guardian) as a whole...love your work 💖
Response from the owner:Thankyou Amanda for acknowledging our authentic care and compassion.

Minnie was quite relaxed & recovered quickly from her dental procedure. Being my Service Dog her welfare is my biggest priority. She is my Wonder Woman.
Response from the owner:Ah Jo this is lovely to hear. Minnie is such a sweet girl and clearly cherished. She will feel better now too with such beautiful clean teeth!
I rang and asked for a quote so I could be prepared, to microchip and vaccinate 9 puppies. Was told $1153.06. I thought this is very reasonable and similar to other vets, so went ahead and booked. On the day, only 6 puppies got vaccinated and total for the day was $1869.39. You would think If you asked for a quote you would get the TOTAL COST of outlay. No, its not just the consultation fee of $440 that they dont include in the quote, its the cost for a nurse, Yes a nurse is extra cost not disclosed in a quote. And the homeopathics given after are $20 extra a pup for single dose of a few drops. This is daylight robbery!!! Homeopathics are very very cheap and 1 pillule can go a long way making a whole bottle of drops .. $20 for a few drops!!!!! per pup!!! And dont say it's your expertise as these are given after every single vaccination and you are a natural vet and the cost is so so minimal to you. Adding up the cost on the day per pup for vaccination and microchip alone was $1129.89 for 6 puppies vaccinated so why was I quoted $1153.06 for all 9 of them? That alone does not add up and is yet to be explained. All this has left such a very bad taste in my mouth. I believe in natural therapies and was going to recommend you, having brought up my puppies holistically ... but not now. Nine puppy owners will hear how money hungry you are instead. The team were great with the puppies but the business side leaves a lot to be desired!!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry you feel dissatisfied with your experience and our dedicated team effort. We understand how important transparency around costs is for everyone including breeders and pet owners. The verbal quote provided was for brief wellness exams, vaccination and microchipping procedures only, based on eight puppies. On the day, the consultation for the nine puppies that visited extended to nearly two hours—well beyond the booked time—due to detailed discussions, individual assessments, and your informed decision not to vaccinate three puppies, which was fully supported by our veterinarian and team. The final invoice reflected the extended consultation time, dedicated nursing support throughout the visit, and optional treatments chosen on the day. While our pricing reflects professional expertise, time, and clinical oversight—not just product cost—we acknowledge that pricing clarity around the homeopathic support could have been communicated more clearly. As a one-time gesture of goodwill, we are happy to offer a refund for the homeopathic remedies provided. We appreciate your comments about our team’s care of the puppies and take feedback regarding cost transparency seriously. Should you wish to accept the goodwill refund or discuss this privately, please give the practice a call. - Dr Renée James.
I would not take my dog anywhere else. Sure it is a bit more expensive but you get so much more than a regular GP Vet. We have a much longer consultation with a Vet who cares about my dog and also about how I am feeling. They respect my ethics around cooperative care and do their best to honour my wishes. I am a professional in the Canine Behaviour field and have been trying to tell Vets for years that there is a problem with my dog structurally. Recently, the lovely Vet that we saw confirmed my suspicions and agreed with me. Finally we have some answers and can now follow a treatment plan. I recommend The Natural Vets to all my clients and am pleasantly surprised to hear that some of them already take their loved companions there. Thank you Natural Vets for listening and caring
Response from the owner:Joanne, thank you so much for your heartfelt words, for valuing what we do, and for taking the time to express this. We are so happy to hear we have been able to help you on so many levels.
The kindest, most caring and knowledgeable people work here. They listen to their clients both the furry ones and their parents. They offer, wonderful alternatives in treatment as well as traditional ones and follow-up is impressive.
Response from the owner:Thank you Pamela! Such lovely feedback for our team.
They are the best vets and nurses in Australia! They really care and use holistic approaches, so I know my furbabies aren't being poisoned but cared for. They are 40 minutes away from me, but it is worth the drive. They are worth every cent, and you get what you pay for.
Response from the owner:Thank you Julie! It is so nice to hear this feedback for our team.
The Natural vets charged an extreme mark-up on the chinese herbal pills prescribed for my cat. It does not sit well with me as a reflection of the heart of this business. I bought online the same brand of herbal pills 300 for under $30. The natural vets charged me over $30 for 30 of them!! (from memory it was like $45) Essentially they were charging me $1.50 per pill for a pill I could buy for 10c!! As I paid over $400 for a telephone consultation, to then be overcharged so extremely for an ongoing prescription just seems well cruel, greedy and heartless. It serves them well doesn't it, if I'm giving two pills a day, essentially they are then making $2.80 profit off me a day! And god knows how many other poor clients trying to do the right thing for their pets on a tight budget. There was also a miscommunication in the prescription of the herbs and it took me three times of questioning the same prescription before they were able to clarify there had actually been a mistake and I had been giving my cat twice the amount.
Response from the owner:Hi Sonia. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. We understand this was disappointing for you, and we’d like to offer some clarity and insight. We know pricing can feel confusing when comparing online marketplaces with a full-service veterinary hospital. As an independent, Australian owned clinic, our costs reflect not only the medicine itself but also the professional time, safety checks, and compliance involved in sourcing, prescribing, and dispensing as part of a tailored treatment plan — things that online retailers don’t provide. Our apologies for the miscommunication with your cat’s prescription. That shouldn’t have happened, and we’ve taken steps to make sure it doesn’t occur again. Our team’s heart is fully invested in providing the best possible care for pets and their people with tailored solutions and expertise that other vets cannot offer. We can never compete with online sellers on pricing, but we trust that the expert guidance and support our team provides is unparalleled. We wish you all the best on your pet's healing journey. Warmly, The Natural Vets Team
If you want your pets to live a long and healthy life I cannot recommend The Natural Vets enough. I found them at a time where my middle aged dogs had a few ailments and were abandoned by my normal vets and told to euthanise one of them. I fortunately learned from TNV all the correct ways to feed and treat my dogs. They totally changed and lived happy long lives. With combinations of traditional and holistic daily lifestyle changes my dogs have lived a good life to 18yrs old (one is still going). Ive recently had my new dog spayed. After learning to wait until she was at least 12 months old I have put her body on the road to a strong and healthy life. I wish all pet owners could benefit from the knowledge The Natural Vets can offer. Its a real eye opener once I learned all the right ways I should have been looking after my pets for decades!
Response from the owner:Daniella, thank you! This is the BEST review, as this is exactly why we exist! To educate pet families about what their pets' need so they can live long, happy, healthy lives. So blessed to have pet owners like you who seek us out, take the information on board, and action it. It makes us happy to know we have had such a positive impact. Thank you.
The team is always so kind to me. They were were so accommodating to me and my whippet Sid who had injured himself yesterday. In particular, Sophie (I hope I remembered her name right) was so unbelievably kind and caring knowing I was really distressed so thank you so much!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for this beautiful review Gemma! It's always distressing when your pet injures themself, and you have an unexpected vet bill! Glad we were able to help, and isn't Sophie amazing, we love her too.
We have been taking our dog Toki to the natural vets for over a year now and each and every visit is made comfortable by the incredible nurses staff and vets. Due to his diagnosis we do go a lot! With monthly visits, the girls make Toki feel loved and welcomed each and every time making a not so nice diagnosis that little bit easier. Thank you for all you do for our boy ❤️
Response from the owner:Thank you Tori, we all love when Toki visits, he is such a beautiful soul, with such dedicated, caring fur parents. We are blessed to be chosen as his veterinary care team! Updated August 2025: RIP Toki 🙁
Thankyou for recognising Grace as the Star of the Day. As she is the star of my house, it is therefore important for me to have loving, caring Vets looking after her health and wellbeing. The calm and happy atmosphere in the rooms soothes both me and Grace when we visit the Natural Vets or when there is a planned procedure. I am also grateful for the photos taken at every stage of her operation, accompanied by a comprehensive explanation of the sequence of events and instructions for aftercare. Five stars from me!
Response from the owner:Thank you Dianne. She was such a little star, and it sounds like that's always the case!
All the staff are caring and very professional. We wouldn't go anywhere else Patch responds very well to natural medicine and all the cuddles she gets
Response from the owner:Thank you Helen. We adore our cuddles with Patch too, she is such a sweetheart!
I travel 100km from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast to bring my dog, Maisy, to The Natural Vets and it's absolutely worth it! Their integrative approach - combining conventional medicine with homeopathy, acupuncture, herbs and nutrition - has significantly improved Maisy's health and well-being. The entire team is so lovely, friendly and supportive and I have complete trust in Dr Renee – her expertise and genuine care are unparalleled. I usually show up to my appointments armed with enough questions to make a vet reconsider their career choices, but Dr Renee patiently works through every question. If you're looking for compassionate, knowledgeable care, The Natural Vets are the best choice!
Response from the owner:Julie, we love your commitment to always doing the best for Maisy, and all your questions 🤣. Thank you for your continued loyalty, you have been part of us for so long now whenever you and Maisy visit it feels like I am catching up with old friends! -Renee.
We first encountered The Natural Vets, after receiving a devastating "terminal cancer" diagnosis for our beloved 11 yr old rescue dog, Murphy - who had been sent home to "palliate". At that time I had no idea that "integrative, holistic" veterinary care was available - but was thrilled to discover that we had such an extraordinary service, right here on the Sunshine Coast! The treatment plan for Murphy was supportive and comprehensive - Homoeopathy, Acupuncture, IV Vitamin C, Chinese Herbs etc .... all of which gave Murphy, and us, another six and a half "great quality" months ... which we were so very grateful for! Since then, sadly, we had a terminal diagnosis for Bowie, another beautiful rescue boy. The only clinic we considered taking him to was The Natural Vets. I cannot speak highly enough about the whole team at this clinic - their kindness and obvious love for animals , knowledge and professionalism is absolutely second to none.
Response from the owner:Thank you Jacqui, for your trust in us, especially at such critical times in your pets' lives facing cancer. May Murphy and Bowie both rest in peace. And we are delighted to now care for the gorgeous Bonnie - such a sweetheart she is!
It’s been wonderful to finally find a vet practice that is supportive of a more natural approach to health care and diet. Dr Vikki has been wonderful with our two dogs Bella & Basil, and all of the staff are so kind and caring. Basil was in the very best of hands during his recent stay for a dental procedure and made a fast recovery. Edited 06-03-2025: We have now been going to The Natural Vets for 7 years and are truly blessed to have such an amazing team to take care of our pets. Always providing such a high standard of care with such love and compassion at every step. A special thankyou to Dr Renee and Dr Henry in particular who go above and beyond to ensure our babies get the best of care.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for your kind feedback Ann-Marie. We are blessed to have a wonderful team here at The Natural Vets all dedicated to the compassionate care of pets like Basil. And he was such a trooper yesterday, a dental at 16 years of age with a heart condition! Oh my! He did so well.
had our golden retriever there for over a year now started with one vet who put us in there “magic” homeopathic treatment and changed to an all natural diet. the diet is good for him. homeopathic did not do anything even after lots of adjustments to the treatment , was told he would be fixed in approx 12 months and that yes he can be fixed for his skin issue , we persisted but very hard to get an appointment with same vet so was told we can change to one of there other vets , ok so we did and that vet wanted to start over like she didn’t agree with harry’s diagnoses so we did what she wanted to do.(chinese herbs) at this point it was costing us approxr $600 every 3 weeks. so we tried to book him back in to see this same vet but was told she is away for around 2 months but we can use one of there other vets. at this stage we pretty much had enough of there constant mis diagnoses and stuffing us around with there bookings. we would make a booking then they would change it at al later date. we drive 1 hour to them every time for the appointment. was told these guys were great but had nothing but bad experience with them they care more if lining there pockets them actually helping pets get better. i suppose we should of done some better research of this buisness stay away people they are full of false hope. it’s a very stressful time watching your pet go through this and told they will fix them but just take your money and don’t care at all.
Response from the owner:Hi Ben, thanks for the feedback, for "Dr Harry" (we don't have a Dr Harry lol) and the rest of our team. It's never easy having a pet suffer with ongoing skin troubles, especially when the proposed solutions don't achieve the hoped for outcomes. I can see in Caesar's record you have been committed to trying to sort out his chronic pre-existing skin issues. I also see that we have never promised it would be easy, or magical. (It would be lovely if we did have magic wands for these difficult cases, but sadly we don't.) We hope that if you choose to continue working with us, we can achieve a more optimal outcome for Caesar and sort out his issues, once and for all.
The veterinary care is good and thorough, but how the clinic handles supplements leaves a fair bit to be desired. Over a relatively short amount of time (~ 4-6 months) I’ve had supplements either: i) not being sent ii) sent without insulation/ice pack/keep-in-shade-label and/or tracking, resulting in the homeopathics being left in full sun for hours by the postman therefore obviously being very warm, but apparently somehow that didn’t affect their efficacy, despite the clinic’s own instructions stating they were to be kept cool (among a whole other number of strict storing requirements) iii) a $50 supplement was prescribed only to be changed 3 weeks after receiving it. Dosage is miniscule, meaning a complete waste of $50 and a bag of practically unused supplement iv) herbs that according to instructions are “to be kept with lid tightly closed and shaken before use” and given in very small dose, arrive in hard clumps that are impossible to separate and therefore shake as instructed and dose properly. No assistance was given with this except to say that despite the herbs not being shakable and properly measurable their efficacy remained unchanged. Personally I found the above frustrating, especially as it required a lot of time back and forth trying to work things out. Despite being gracious and understanding about issues in the first couple of instances, there was no acknowledgment (let alone apology or gesture of good will) for the inconveniences caused (except for some acknowledgment in the last episode, but only after being prompted to it by me). Also one particular mushroom supplement I was able to buy at half the price elsewhere online (most of the other supplements are custom sold by TNV only, so not price-comparable). I get that vet clinics generally have a substantial markup, but double the price is off-putting. Lastly, communication between staff appears to be average, necessitating multiple back & forth correspondence various times and a ten day wait for a vet answer in one particular instance. I could just have had bad luck on a string of occasions, but unfortunately for me it was enough to seriously question the effectiveness of the treatment and now having to look for an alternative holistic vet while in the midst of my ill cat’s care plan. Overall I’m not sure I would recommend them.
Response from the owner:Thank you Giordana for this comprehensive feedback. I can see you have experienced a number of difficulties, and your input is both valued and appreciated. I will be taking this review back to my team to discuss all the finer details and improve the systems we have in place, with the goal being to resolve them all! Good luck with your search for a replacement holistic vet for Betibu! We recommend Dr Kathy Cornack, based in Newcastle, for NSW-based clients. - Dr Renee.
Very thorough vet service using natural remedies where possible
Response from the owner:Thanks Karen for the 5-stars!
Good vets & staff Look after my last Poodle now my senour rescue
Response from the owner:Thanks Judy, we love seeing what is possible with a holistic approach, glad we could help Bella where nobody else could.
The Natural vet is by far not your typical vet, the amount of care, consideration attention to detail is outstanding, the entire team has a really holistic approach, they are calm and they really put the time in for you and your pet. We have been getting treatments here for our Lab for some time and we are very happy with his progress. Also this is the first ever clinic he has liked coming to. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Love hearing this thanks Nick, and so glad we have been able to improve the outcome for Ollie! We love it when he visits too, he is such a happy chap.

We began going to Dr Henry when he was flying solo at Kawana Waters with only Amanda many years ago with our gorgeous rottweiler girl Abbey to keep her in peak condition. He helped her immensely with hip dysplasia and arthritis. Since then, our beautiful greyhound girl Daphne was diagnosed with Insulinoma (Pancreatic Cancer) at the age of 12 with a prognosis of only 6 months. She was put on a lifetime course of glucocorticoids by a conventional vet as an offer of chemotherapy at $450 / month was a bit out of reach and would have affected her bone marrow. Daphne, being a very nervous dog would have endured overwhelming stress having visits to the vet for endless blood tests. She would have been a good candidate to receive Dr Henry's Intravenous Vit C Infusions but this also meant continually visiting the vet. The stress was just not worth it so we thought the best thing to do would be online consults with Dr Henry. This worked out super! With the caring and careful advice from Dr Henry and a view to heal her, he took his time and prescribed homeopathic treatments, along with mushrooms Chinese herbs and a prescribed tweaked keto diet, we were extremely lucky to have Daphne not for only 6 months, but a year and 6 months! We couldn't have done better for such an aggressive cancer thanks to Dr Henry and staff. Unfortunately, Daphne did succumb to breathing difficulties in the end as it was such an aggressive cancer and we decided to let her go at the age of 13.
I can’t rate high enough to The Natural Vets, particularly Dr. Donna!!! My cat, Soda suffered from continuous UTI problem (urine with blood), we gave her antibiotic which was given by our previous vet. It did stopped her blood every time until the treatment finished and few days later, the blood came back! I realized that it wasn’t really treat her from the root of the problem but cure the symptom only. Giving my cat antibiotics would also lead negative impact to her health. So I started to google if there’s any vet who provides treatments in natural ways. Luck me!!! I found The Natural Vets!!!! They spent around 2.5 hours in the first consultation which included understanding my cat’s background, analyzing the balancing inside her body and giving her acupuncture. She was also given homeopathic remedies, natural herbs and supplements. And now, she’s 100% recovered with only 3 visits!!! That’s soooo amazing!!! Thank you Dr Donna and those professional nurses. You all are the best!!!
Response from the owner:This is so great to hear Phoebe, thanks for the feedback, and well done Soda and Dr Donna!
So greatful that we found this vet. They take the time to genuinely assess your pets overall health, environment, diet, behaviour etc. Highly recommend the natural vets and their services
Response from the owner:Thanks Bex for taking the time to review us, this means a lot to our team! Hope Fynn is doing well.
Dr Henry you are an amazing, kind and very knowledgeable Vet. Im so grateful for your care and expertise and wonderful results with Jack Bear. Im so glad you are his saving grace in many times that his needed it. And, he loves you.
Response from the owner:Thanks Jasmyn, glad Dr Henry has been able to be of such support to Jack Bear, we love him too!
I would highly recommend the natural vet, in particular Dr.Donna. Our young and very active dog Koa had an impact on his spine and right shoulder. Dr. Donna treated him with both acupuncture and chiropractic work. He is well and truly on the way to recovery.
Response from the owner:Thank you Gena for your kind words for our beautiful gentle Dr Donna and for your exceptional commitment Koa's care.

Wow. The Natural Vets are amazing! When we took our American staffy puppy named Abby to the Natural Vets for the first time, we were expecting it to be stressful for her as she hadn’t been to the vets since she was 7 weeks (she was 6 months old at the time). But we were pleasantly surprised that she was mostly calm. Dr. Nicole took time to not only give her a very thorough physical exam, but she also wanted to know Abby’s personality and her tendencies. We didn’t want to give Abby any shots and the vet was very respectful of that. Abby had a titre test to make sure that she was protected from diseases as she did have 2 shots when she was 7 weeks old. The vet had a mat on the floor and did all the physical exam on the ground which Abby liked a lot. I mean who wants to be high of the ground on a table with a stranger poking and prodding you. Abby being a staffy likes to jump up a lot on people and give punch kisses, but the vet didn’t seem as bothered by Abby’s naughty behaviour as much as me and my mum were. Abby had Chinese herbs which she didn’t like, but as she had hurt her leg, we had to give her something to help with the pain. Taking Abby to The Natural Vets cost a lot of money but well worth it. We have just recently taken Abby to the vet again (she is now 1 year old) because she had bad skin issues that were making her uncomfortable. Again, Dr. Nicole not only wanted to know what she has been eating but what emotional stress Abby had recently experienced. After a bit more was done to see what else it could be, we concluded that the antibiotics she had when she had an emergency spay at another clinic, and the trauma of the pyometra, both had caused her gut health to become unhealthy and imbalanced. So now she is on some probiotics, Chinese herbs (which she likes this time!), flax seed oil and a homeopathic remedy. I mean who would have guessed that animals too needed Chinese herbs. A big thank you to Dr Nicole and the rest of the team! The Natural Vets gives you and your fur Baby the best care and they actually care about you and your fur baby. They love your fur baby as much as you do. I have full trust in them with Abby. Animal health over profit. We will keep taking her here but when it comes to surgeries The Natural Vet can be a little costly, but it might be worth it in the long run? Thank you guys, once again for making our experience and Abby experience wonderful. Abby even fell asleep at her appointment. That just says a lot for the calming environment at the vet clinic as Abby is a party animal and loves people but even she felt the calm energy.
Response from the owner:Oh my gosh we love that she fell asleep in the consult room! She certainly must have felt at ease. What beautiful feedback for Dr Nicole and our team, thank you Kira & Abby for joining our tribe, for loving what we do, and for writing us a review!
Best vet I've been to. They take the time to explain things to you. Have great recommendations on how to treat various things. Super friendly staff.

Dr. Henry is such an incredibly valuable member of our community. I find it hard to put into words, the gratitude I have for this genuinely compassionate vet with considerable knowledge in his field. He has provided such wonderful support for my dog Skip for some time now. Skip has been on a long, remarkable journey with Henry which started with Skip's mast cell tumours. Skippy had endured very traumatic experiences with conventional vets and at that stage we had very little faith left. 4 years later and Skip's wellbeing has been remarkable! Henry has supported skip's wellbeing over the years in the most therapeutic ways with nutritional supplements and homeopathic remedies that have enabled Skip to manage to thrive 'over and over'. Dr Henry has always treated Skip's whole body, not just necessarily the affected area. He identifies the cause of the problem rather than just treating symptoms. Dr Henry always examines Skip, advises, educates and encourages me to improve through lifestyle, nutrition and the incredible homeopathic remedies he provides us with. When on the operating table over the years he is always supported with accupuncture, intravenous vitamin c etc to ensure he makes a speeding recovery as well as receiving tests/bloods and quality supplements prior to any surgery to ensure his organs are strong enough to get through the operation successfully and make a good recovery. Henry always listens to my intimate knowledge of my dog and gives his complete attention and answers all the questions I have so I can better support Skip. I think of Skippy as my son and am forever grateful to Dr Henry for his considerable knowledge, which has most certainly prolonged the years we have had with out precious boy. Now, Skip has a new challenge to work through...bowel cancer!! Athough we have moved a long way from the practice and unable to see Henry face to face, his support from afar has allowed us to feel safe and supported to tackle the next stages of Skip's journey. Dr Henry truly is such a 'wonderful vet' and a 'quality person' and we are incredibly grateful to have had him as such an integral part of Skip's journey. Henry you have given us more than you wil ever know! We are forever grateful to you always! Skippy and Aimee, Atherton Tablelands.
Response from the owner:Thank you Aimee, so glad to hear you and Skip are doing well and continuing to find benefit from our supportive and natural therapies, even from the greater distance now!
Response from the owner:Thank you Justin for the 5 stars!
Very caring vets. Great to have clever minds in holistic approach to remedies. Friendly staff who will take the time to explain and always follow up. Can not recommend better.

Excellent
Response from the owner:Thank you Mary for the 5 stars!
Highly qualified and experienced staff who genuinely care about your pet. They look for causes and solutions, rather than just treating symptoms. They offer alternative therapies as well. My 13 year old Ridgeback is much more mobile and has reduced pain after massage therapy and acupuncture, combined with herbal remedies. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you Kerry, it is wonderful to see the results we get with integrated care, especially where conventional options can sometimes fail or offer only limited solutions.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the 5 stars Kristo! Always a pleasure having Diesel in the clinic, he is such a champion.

We've recently taken our very sick German Shepherd Meggs to se Dr Catherine. As soon as you walk into the clinic, you feel immediately optimistic and calm. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help in any way. Dr Catherine and her team went above and beyond with all the information and treatment plan for Meggs. Giving us plenty of information and steps to try get her back on track. Even receiving a follow up call to check on how Meggs is going and contacting us when they say they will. Highly recommend to anyone who seeking much needed help for their animal families.
Response from the owner:Thankyou Cherice for this feedback. Meggs is battling some major troubles and Dr Catherine will love hearing how well supported you felt. We are so blessed to have her, she is amazing!
We took our elderly dog, Gypsy, to the Natural Vets as she had been diagnosed with Cushing's disease. A few years ago Gypsy had Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) and had aggressive traditional treatment over a period of 18 months. That treatment saved her life but it really took the 'life' out of her and we did not want to put her through anything like that again. We wanted to help her but not at the expense of her happiness. After doing some research we found The Natural Vets. We made the trip up from Brisbane to Forest Glen and we are so glad we did. Everyone at the Surgery was wonderful. Doctor Catherine was very thorough and so very gentle with Gypsy. Doctor Catherine provided us with a holistic plan to help Gypsy cope with her symptoms. It has been less than a week but we couldn't be happier with the difference it has made to Gypsy. We are very grateful ❤.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your feedback Lesley. We are so happy Gypsy is already feeling better. Dr Catherine is amazing, and she cares so much!!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the 1 star review! Would love to know if we have seen you in the clinic as we don't have anything on file in your name Ana.
Response from the owner:Thanks for your 5 star review David 🐾
We drove 400km round trip to see Dr Henry for our 2 senior dog’s. I’ve never met a vet like him before, he spent 1.5 hours per dog reading all their previous files, test results, doing full blood panels, asking me so many questions, diet, exercise, habits, sleep etc etc. He did chinese acupuncture on each dog and made up homeopathic remedies for me to add to their diet: Our next appointment will be via zoom. This vet is so through with each animal we were there half a day with 2 dogs. Highly recommend Dr Henry and his awesome team, they are not desensitised and really care about your pets and you. I’m so glad I did my research and found them. Thank you.
Response from the owner:Thanks for your kind review Luana. Hopefully we can get their health improving quickly.
Expensive
Response from the owner:Thanks for the feedback Frank. Based on industry surveys, we are not the most expensive vet in our region. We offer unique services not found elsewhere and hope our patients benefit from these options.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the 5 star review Fiona!
Lovely people who really understand animals and take great care in looking after our fur baby.

In May 2020 Dr Henry was the fourth vet I visited with my dog Pippa, who had been unwell and miserable for some time. He was the only one who diagnosed her with cancer and immediately put her on a herbs, supplements, vit c and homeopathic regimen. Pip recovered and became once more the happy, energetic dog she'd always been, all signs of cancer gone. I can't recommend The Natural Vets highly enough. Not only because of the treatments, but because of the kindness, care and helpfulness of all of the staff members. Pippa was recently PTS because of her bad arthritis. Pippa was like a loving sister to me. Losing her has been a deeply traumatic experience. The love and care everyone involved showed me and my baby was just wonderful and in stark and direct contrast to the way other vets handled my previous dog's death. A heartfelt thank you to The Natural Vets for all you have have done for Pippa and me.
Response from the owner:Thank you Hanita for your very kind words. We were blessed to have known Pippa, such a gentle soul she was. Although the arthritis and ligament rupture was too much for her to bear in the end, we were able to honour her time of passing with the care and compassion she deserved. May the memories of her time here continue to comfort your heart forever more.

Our little rescue guy, Benny Diggles came to us with pretty bad teeth and lots of anxiety and irritable behaviour. After a dental treatment with Dr Renee he is so calm and happy, such a positive change in his whole demeanour. We are so rapt !!! 🙏❤️

This is the best vets we've ever taken our dogs to. I hardly ever write reviews but it was worth it to us to spread the word of this great clinic. Previous vets haven't been very thorough with our dogs and left out important info which made us feel in the dark - the COMPLETE opposite is true of The Natural Vets! They inform you about everything, they go through the condition with great detail, let you know about costs, different treatment options etc and also offer alternative therapies which has been very beneficial to our pets healing. I think the biggest thing is that this clinic takes their TIME with your animals and they truly care for animals as much as humans. We are so happy with the treatment of Peanut and will keep coming back and spreading the word on how great it is. Thank you guys! 🙂
Response from the owner:Thank you Emma, Peanut completely won all the staff's hearts she is just the cutest little dame! So glad she is feeling better than ever now.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5 star review Jerry!
Really wonderful vet, traditional vet medicine is often more harmful than good. My cat needed specialist heart surgery and it was able to be done right on the premises by a specialist rather than having to go to Brisbane. They gave her natural potions to take before the surgery to help her through and recover quickly - she was nearly 13 at the time and came through with flying colours. I wish all vets had the training and holistic experience that these guys do!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the great feedback!! We hope Madeleine Rose, the jetsetting glamourpuss (who loves nothing more than rolling in sheep poo), is enjoying her new life in England!⁠
Our dog was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given around 3 months to live. We were in the process of moving to the Sunshine Coast and our vet back home suggested The Natural Vet. Right now the lumps have shrunk and we can’t find them! He is happy and has a new sparkle in his eye. The regime is time consuming and takes a bit to get into the swing of, however, we have our fur baby with us and living a good quality of life. The staff are all lovely and compassionate, I am so happy to have found this option for our pets.
Response from the owner:What a great outcome Dianne, so glad we were able to help. Dr Viki will be very pleased to hear the outcome.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the gold stars!
Sarsha's favourite place to go. We love them very caring about your pet. So good we travel an hour to get there.

Extremely professional, caring and helpful. We drive from Brisbane to see (the amazing) Dr Henry for our 11 year old ShihTzu, Bentley who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't been recommended to The Natural Vets as they have been nothing short of amazing with the way that they are treating Bentley, so compassionate, helpful and caring. Bentley is stronger and healthier than ever thanks to the treatment he is receiving from Dr Henry and the brilliant Team at the Natural Vets. Thank you so much 🙂
Response from the owner:So glad Bentley is doing so well; he certainly has a strong spirit and keeps us all entertained during his visits. Caring for cancer patients is one of our passions, the options in conventional practice are so limited. Well done Bentley for fighting this and becoming stronger and healthier in the process!
Thanks so much for taking such great care of Mittens and following up to see how she was doing. Really appreciate what a great service you have.
Response from the owner:Thanks Georgie for the lovely feedback (and for being our surprise film extra on the day!). I see from Mittens file that she is doing well so far - great news! We will see you back soon for her recheck.
A very efficient and friendly team!

Recently I have had a long talk with Dr Vicky about vaccination and tick protection and I am very confident now to go a chemical free way for my doggy girl. We are doing regular titre tests and heart worm larvae tests from now on and as long as the results are great I avoid vaccines and chemicals like nextguard etc. So far everything is going well with sucker punch for worming and tick resist and I couldn’t wish for better advice on my dog’s health and wellbeing. I am so glad to be able to work with a vet who uses a holistic approach in addition to conventional veterinary medicine.
Response from the owner:Glad to hear we could help you reduce the toxic inputs for your pets and give you confidence in walking the natural path. 🙏

Dr Henry has been looking after our dogs for about 30 years. We have so much confidence in his recommendations for the well being of our dogs we now drive 150 ks each way to see him. Just recently we took our 16 year old poodle to him as she was not well and we were heading overseas so concerned about leaving her with the dog sitters. Her kidney results weren't good but within a week of his hands on treatment and daily use of homeopathic treatment she has bounced back and full of life. So happy to recommend the whole team at the Natural Vets.
Response from the owner:Christine we are so blessed to have long-term clients like yourselves who understand the benefits of a holistic path. Thankyou (and your animals) for being a wonderful advocate for what we do!
We took our then two and half year old bichon (Louie) to see Dr Renee approx. 2 years ago due to allergy issues which had been getting progressively worse even though he was being prescribed steroids and other medication by our previous vet. Dr Renee was very thorough in assessing Louie and recommended a change to a single protein raw food diet along with some herbal remedies to assist with boosting the dog's immunity and some skin soothing cream to help alleviate the itching on his ears and feet. Over the following year, with Dr Renee's guidance by both email and phone, we succeeded in extending Louie's diet to four main single protein complete meals, he no longer requires herbal supplements and his itching has completed resolved. Louie is now a much happier and healthier dog. We are so appreciative having the help of Dr Renee and the other staff at the Natural Vets and would recommend them to anyone seeking the professional services of a empathetic, caring and considerate veterinary team.
Response from the owner:Awww this warms my heart thank you Gary. I am so pleased with the results we achieved together for Louie. He is such a delight! - Dr Renee.

Our Mini Schnauzer Gemma was diagnosed with Leukemia in March 2018 and 14 months later, under the special care of Dr Henry Stephenson, she has done amazingly well. Following a strict regime of holistic treatment, Gemma is testament to Dr Stephenson's knowledge and care. He NEVER gave up on her and we are forever thankful.
Response from the owner:Thankyou Noela. You have had a rough time with Gemma getting so sick, and then losing Barney to cancer as well so suddenly. We hope that Gemma will continue to be strong and healthy for many years to come yet.

We’re so glad we took our 10 year old cat Cosy to The Natural Vet when she fell sick recently. They were very attentive, helpful and we love the alternative medicines that they gave us to make her better. We will never go anywhere else! 🐱🐱
Response from the owner:So glad we were able to help Cosy feel better and start pooing again! We hope she has continued to feel well and is enjoying life in her senior years.
Marley had been experiencing an issue that I couldn't get resolved. I didn't want to put him on medication, steroids etc. if there was a natural solution. I was referred to Dr Henry by my homeopath. Dr Henry was thorough and I found he really cared about helping Marley. After a couple of visits and me making a comment that Marley always gets bitten by ants, Dr Henry was able to match the remedy that solved Marley's ongoing problem. I now understand why it is necessary to take note of what is happening with our pets, it delivers a picture for the vet. Homeopathy is wonderful and so is The Natural Vets. Thanks Dr Henry and team.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback, what a great result for Marley!

Esther May now enjoys a natural diet & fasts one day a week. She is happy & healthy. We highly recommend Dr Henry & the team at The Natural Vets.

Our dog is so sensitive and over the years he has been called 'boy in the bubble' I thought we would just have to put up with his issues. About four years ago we discovered The Natural Vets and the care they have given our furbaby is second to none. I can't recommend these guys enough. I know I still have my little mate due to the care he has been given. For that I am truly grateful
Response from the owner:Bear certainly has thrown plenty of challenges our way Kerrilee! So glad we could help him discover that life outside the bubble is so much better!
the best vet ever
Response from the owner:Aww thanks Andy, that is great to hear!
We had a very bad experience at this vet nearly resulting in the loss of our beautiful greyhound. They didn't act on obvious signs of pain and distress, and advised us to have $1400 worth of tests and treatments that made our greyhound worse. After consulting with a different vet for a second opinion, five months later with a correct diagnosis, our greyhound is still going strong and very happy.
Response from the owner:Hi Jen, thanks for the feedback. It is great to hear that Sammie is going strong now. Dr Viki had only seen him for an initial visit and was very concerned at the time about a possible disc prolapse. The tests that were done on the day included bloods, x-rays and an ultrasound by our consultant, and the costs of these do certainly add up - especially when other treatments are done on the same day. Our clinic policy is to communicate all costs before proceeding and I trust this was done. Due to Sammie's stress levels with vet visits and the distance you needed to travel, we were unable to assist further. We are glad you have found a solution closer to home that works for you and Sammie and that he has now recovered. Greyhounds are beautiful animals and we adore them.

My long coat German Shepherd Kaiser, first attended The Natural Vets in November last year. He is now ten years old and he has been an amazing animal. He has had roles in two feature films, two short films, tv commercials, and to top it off he’s been an American calendar boy! To say that he is the light of our lives is an understatement. He has had quite a few health issues and our recent move from interstate meant we needed to find a new vet for him. After considerable research we decided to give The Natural Vets a try. We travel from Noosa on a regular basis so he can see Dr. Henry and we would not take him anywhere else now. He is doing really well and we expect only the best for our star. We can’t recommend them highly enough for anyone who is looking for the best care for their precious animals.
Response from the owner:Kaiser certainly is a handsome fellow with so many achievements! We are thankful for your commitment to a holistic path, and so pleased he is continuing to be a star in every way.

I can't say enough about how much we appreciate the care Renee and all the team have given our dogs Tom and Lola. They all care so much for the animals. Tom was revived from the brink of death recently, we didn't think he would survive...all due to the love and dedication of the team at The Natural Vets....I think a good way to judge a good vet is if your pet is happy to go there...our dogs love it. Thank you so much.
Response from the owner:Awww, thanks Diane. Love Tom and Lola, they are such gorgeous souls to treat, and Tom just keeps battling on when any challenge arises. Amazing dogs you have!
Highly recommend this practice. Have been a client of Dr Henry for 10 years with my whippet now 14 and my Italian Greyhound 11 years old, which Henry was able to save with homeopathic remedies when she was very ill. Extremely caring and helpful over the years. Amanda has been there the entire time I have been going and is so lovely and caring and my interactions with the other staff have always been professional yet warm and friendly.
Response from the owner:Thankyou Aeon for your kind words. Amanda has been a long-term loyal staff member and genuinely cares about all our clients and patients. She will be grateful for this feedback, as will Dr Henry and the rest of our team.

I have been a client of The Natural Vets for almost 2 years now, I initially came to the clinic seeking alternative therapies for my Dog who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and given 3 months maximum to live and would be medicated over this time to keep him comfortable. Dr Renee and Dr Henry treated my dog with Chinese herbs, homeopathy, Vitamin C infusions, acupuncture and a raw diet change, we ended up having my boy around for 7 months with a high quality of life (in fact up until the last month and his visual skin lesions you wouldn't have know he was sick!). All the staff at the clinic are amazing, each time we visited which was quiet regularly! We were made to feel so welcome, nothing was ever to much trouble and both my dogs always got so excited when we arrived getting plenty of smooches and treats from the nurses. I can't thank the nursing staff enough for making what can be quiet a stressful experience a pleasant one. Dr Renee & Dr Henry's support during the time my dogs quality of life started to deteriorate was short of amazing, with regular check ins and support whenever I needed it. Dr Renee did a house visit and laid my boy to rest in our home, extremely peaceful and just went that extra mile to make the process as stress free as possible. Dr Renee & Dr Henry, now treat all my animals....even our chickens have visited a few times! Thank you to everyone at The Natural Vets, I highly recommend the clinic
Response from the owner:What beautiful feedback for our whole team, thankyou! Has been amazing being part of your journey into animal wellness.

Kaiser is a dashing chap, he is a movie star and part time dog model. Kaiser recently relocated from Melbourne to Noosa to enjoy his retirement. Over the years he has been on a lot of heavy medication for his joint and allergy issues. He is now nearly ten years old and it appears that the strong medication was impacting on his health generally and specifically. It was not surprising, however, hearing that he was in the early stages of kidney disease was very sobering. The choice was to continue with the steroids, meloxicam and apoquel and consequently put more stress on his suffering kidneys or embark on a new path altogether, one that included slowly withdrawing him from the “heavy stuff” and putting him on homeopathic medication and natural herbs. I was worried that his pain levels would increase and that his skin would drive him crazy, I was a little sceptical about the change but I thought it was worth a go! It requires diligence, I made sure he got exactly what was prescribed and I monitored his reactions. He had a number of blood tests to check his kidney function and initially the nasty levels kept rising. I felt that his pain level was greater too, but it’s hard to tell with a stoic dog. I thought this was the beginning of a downhill slide for him. He also had a saliva test which was sent to the USA to find out what foods he was allergic too and the results were amazing. I had always fed him a natural diet but I was actually giving him the things he had reactions too, like white fish, salmon, venison. He is now off all those things, free range chicken and beef are his main stay now and his itchiness has gone! At the time of writing, he has just had another blood test to check his kidney function, the results were all completely within a normal healthy range! To say that I’m thrilled is an understatement, I think Dr Henry, his vet, was a little chuffed too. So the new more natural path to health has probably given him the chance for a longer healthier life. He will continue to go to the Natural Vet for the rest of his life, nothing but the best for him. I cannot recommend them highly enough if Kaiser’s experience is anything to go by. He has been put on a new path to total wellness. P.S the steroids, apoquel and meloxicam have safely been thrown out!
Response from the owner:What a fabulous result for Kaiser! So glad to hear he is responding so well and no longer needs the "heavy stuff"!
Ok
Response from the owner:5 stars! Thank you Angelika.

I booked a phone consult as I live interstate and was extremely happy with the insightful education I received about how to better care for my dog, and how to prevent future illness. I learned heaps and education is always an investment. I really appreciated how empowered I felt, Im able to be a more informed consumer coz I was so dis-empowered and felt helpless due to conventional vets prescribing nothing but antibiotics repeatedly for everything. I wish more vets would offer a more holistic approach to pet care, instead of just suppressive therapies.Thank you so much for your individual approach, its time and money well spent. I highly recommend this clinic

Response from the owner:Wow, what amazing feedback thank John!
A few years back Henry treated a dog called Louise that we were looking after for a friend. For many years she had experienced horrific skin problems and used to experience an infection between her paws and in her ears. She had seen countless vets to no avail and one local vet even called her jokingly "a milking cow" because her condition could never be cured and she would always be in need of expensive steroids!!! So I researched and came upon Henry and took her for a couple of visits to Warana. His receptionist/ vet nurse were very welcoming and helpful. We had a very long consultation where Henry asked me extensive questions about Louise but then he really focused on her and her movements, her behaviour, her smelland really tuned into the essence of this poor long suffering dog with an "incurable chronic condition". He is not one if those vets who is there for all the social chat with the owner he is there for THE PET THEMSELVES. Henry recommended various things to rectify the problem plus gave us some natural medications and after about a month the problem had gone and never returned again. In my book Henry performed a miracle. After this we took our own dog to Henry for any treatment she needed. When she died it was lovely to receive a card from the surgery offering g their condolences, which I thought was a lovely touch too.
Response from the owner:June thanks for this incredible feedback. Dr Henry certainly is a wizard when it comes to healing animals!
Very supportive staffs.
Response from the owner:Thankyou Ayca, we love our team!
I highly recommend this vet practice. I have seen 3 of the vets at various times with our cat and chickens, and received great care and treatment.

Really top quality care and attention. We have a Devon Rex cat which has had plenty of issues not treated well by traditional vets. It took me some time to accept that animals respond to both traditional and herbal medicine but I'm convinced due to a huge improvement in my pet's health.

Great for Charlie the dog when he had to be unzipped to remove a corn cob that had plugged him up. Always friendly. Priced a bit more but I'd say worth it. If your dog isn't into Chinese spices and homoeopathic pain killers then probably not your place. Having said this they do use proper vet tactics so your animal is in good hands!

Henry has been our chosen vet for many years and now Renee has come on board, we know our pets cannot be in better hands. We are so grateful for their 'natural' approach to pet care ...it is how animals should be treated! Sound advice on natural treatments, diet and exercise has meant long and healthy lives for our pets. A huge thank you to Henry and Renee, Amanda and Tammy...we so appreciate your experience and your kind, loving manner.

We have been customers for 20 years, in this time Henry has cared for our 5 Cavaliers. I have a Cav with SM and the results with on going treatment in the last four years have given my girl Penny a better quality of life and her seizures are now only occasional. Henry and his dedicated Team are truly outstanding in providing the very best in Veterinary care.
Fantastic service that provides alternatives for all pets.
