Why Choose an Independent Vet?
Personalised Care
Don't just search for a vet near me, find an independent vet near you. Independent clinics love building relationships with you and your pet – you’re not just another appointment in the system.
Community Focused
Local vets are part of your community. They support neighbourhood initiatives, get to know families, and often treat multiple generations of pets.
No Corporate Pressure
Large corporate-owned clinics often face business targets and upselling pressures. Independent vets have more flexibility to recommend the best option for your pet.
Search Independent Vets
Search by suburb, postcode, or state, filter by services such as emergency, surgery, dental, or exotics, and view detailed clinic profiles with team bios and services.
The Cats Who Got the Cream
Independent Vet was founded by Adam Clune and Ilana Borsje - animal lovers, parents, and partners in both life and business.
Together, they run the digital agency DeCODE Digital, but their real passion lies with the animals they’ve cared for over the years. Their personal journey through veterinary care revealed some uncomfortable truths about the changing landscape of the industry in Australia.
