"A huge thanks to Dr Tristram, Dr Steven, Dr Alex, Brianna at reception, the nursing staff & surgical team for taking such amazing care of Treasure. We are amazed at the high level of service & professionalism. The communication made this difficult time that much easier. We couldn’t recommend SASH more highly."

"SASH took outstanding care of my very sick dog Lily, they talked me through her health issues and kept me constantly updated on her progress. They accommodated all my concerns and I never felt pressured in my decision making. I am very grateful for their medical expertise and kindness.Thank you also to the lovely receptionists.”

"Very fortunate to have this specialist animal hospital nearby. Had a close call with our dog after hours when our normal vets were closed and SASH was truly a lifesaver. It’s not cheap but well worth it. The facilities are top-notch and the nurses and on site vets were very professional and experienced. Could not recommend enough."

✨Elroy's story ✨ Elroy was surrendered to the $✨Elroy's story ✨ Elroy was surrendered to the RSPCA at only 6-months-old with a fractured jaw and broken leg. It was unknown how he sustained these injuries, but @rspcaaustralia did a great job to provide Elroy with all the treatment he needed prior to finding his forever home. Elroy was adopted at 9-months-old by SASH CEO and Internal Medicine Vet, Dr Justin Wimpole. A typical chocolate Labrador, Elroy the “big brown bear” loves everyone he meets, every place he visits and everything about life in general. Naturally, he became an integral part of the SASH family – coming to hang out at work with Dr. Justin and our team AND helping those in need by being one of SASH’s first and most honourable blood donors. Over the years of his life, Elroy’s blood has helped over 20 dogs in need! Now, at 11 years old, he spends most his days running at the beach and embarrassing his family at the dog park! Recently, Elroy was found collapsed at home. His family brought him straight to SASH Emergency. Dr. Dominique Chan (Emergency Vet) assessed Elroy and found he was bleeding internally – he required emergency surgery from Specialist Surgeon and good friend of Elroy’s, Dr Andrew Marchevsky. In addition to surgery, Elroy required a blood transfusion and hospitalisation in the SASH ICU, being looked after by our Critical Care team. Elroy recovered nicely from his surgery. However, was diagnosed with haemangiosarcoma (a cancer of blood vessels and the cause of Elroy’s unfortunate episode) and is now undergoing chemotherapy at the SASH Cancer Centre. Despite recent dramas, Elroy is still living his best possible life. He loves coming to work with his dad and seeing all our wonderful team members. The blood Elroy received came from a generous Labrador cross, named Enzo. Without the help and generosity from Enzo, Elroy’s outcome may have not been the same. It was fortunate that Enzo’s owners originally nominated him for our Blood Bank program after seeing one of our posts. Swipe to see Elroy's hero, @enzotheborador$
