Monthly staff training
Because the team Struggletown always pride ourselves on giving both the best and most up to date care for your pet, as well as the amazing customer service to go along with this, we will be closing our doors, and turning our phones off for 2 hrs in the middle of the day for staff training/meetings towards the end of each month so that we are able to service our clients in the best possible way. We will of course re-open like normal at the end of this.

Our family have been long time patients of Struggletown Vet. They do an amazing job of caring for our fur family. They do everything from puppy school to caring for complicated heart problems. Their staff are amazing, kind and knowledgeable. We trust and love them.
Wonderful vet practice. Clear and good communication. All the vets we’ve met have been great and the staff are all kind and competent and we feel we can absolutely trust them with our dog. Our dog recently had a procedure and start to end process was smooth and they gave us helpful advice about insurance claim etc.
Such a great and helpful staff! They helped us get our dog to and from Hawaii twice! They were our vet the entire time we lived in Sydney, not matter what part we lived in we made the drive cause they were just so good and helpful. Can’t recommend enough.
