Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the vets’ skill, thorough diagnostics and successful outcomes, including complex surgeries and spot‑on diagnoses where others had missed issues. The team is widely described as kind, compassionate and patient, taking time to explain options and ease owner anxiety, with especially gentle handling of cats. Many mention fair, reasonable pricing and a lack of pressure to pursue unnecessary procedures. Long‑term clients highlight years of reliable care and say they highly recommend the clinic.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with only a few recurring concerns. A handful of owners reported difficulty getting through on the phone, trouble booking at times (including not taking new clients on occasion), and limited parking due to popularity. There were isolated comments about curt or rude reception interactions and one case of a missed parasite diagnosis, plus a lone complaint about a high desexing quote. Aside from these outliers, sentiment is strongly favourable.

99mFrequently Asked Questions
Here are the questions pet owners ask most often — tap a question to read the full answer. For other concerns, please consult a licensed veterinarian.
Labrador Veterinary Surgery is at 1 Clayton Street, Labrador QLD 4215 on the Gold Coast. There isn’t a train, metro or light-rail station within easy walking distance, so driving is usually easiest. The Chirn Park Carpark is about a 1-minute walk away for convenient parking, and as it can be busy at peak times it’s wise to allow a little extra time. If you’re using public transport, check Google Maps for the nearest bus route and stop.
They’re open Monday to Friday 9:00 AM–5:30 PM and Saturday 9:00–11:30 AM; closed Sundays. Weekly hours: Monday–Friday: 9:00 AM–5:30 PM; Saturday: 9:00–11:30 AM; Sunday: Closed.
You can contact the clinic by phone on (07) 5591 2255 and via their website at http://www.localvet.com.au/Labrador/.
Book by calling the clinic during opening hours. They can be busy, so it helps to book ahead; if phones are hard to get through, try calling earlier in the day, and if you’re a new client ask about the next available time or a waitlist.
Consultation fees for vets in Australia aren’t government-regulated and can vary by clinic, so the best way to get the current price is to call the clinic for a quote. For any procedures or surgery, ask for an itemised written estimate beforehand. Medicare doesn’t cover pets; consider pet insurance and, if needed, enquire generally about payment-plan options (e.g. VetPay, AfterPay, GapOnly) with the clinic or your insurer.
Most Australian vet clinics commonly accept EFTPOS, Visa/Mastercard and tap-and-go (Apple Pay/Google Pay); some also support pet-insurance gap claims or payment plans. Policies vary, so call ahead to confirm what this clinic currently accepts.
