Pet Owners

Trusted Veterinary Specialists, Right Here When You Need Us Most

At VSOS, we understand how frightening it is when your pet is unwell or injured - especially when you can’t see what’s wrong or don’t know what comes next. We’re pet owners too, and we’ve built our service around the care we’d want for our own animals.

That’s why we’ve created something rare in Australia - a specialist referral centre that combines world-class expertise, compassion, and accessibility. Whether it’s an emergency or a complex condition, you can trust us to guide your pet’s care every step of the way.

Advanced Treatment Centre (ATC): Expert Care Under One Roof

Located in the Sutherland Shire, our Advanced Treatment Centre is a purpose-built veterinary hospital with some of the most advanced technology in the country - including MRI, CT, fluoroscopy and on-site pathology. But more importantly, it’s home to a passionate team of specialists, nurses, and emergency vets working together to achieve the best outcomes for your pet.

We're the only specialist hospital in this region offering the full suite of services:

  • 24/7 Emergency & Critical Care
  • Advanced Surgery (orthopaedic, soft tissue, neurological)
  • Internal Medicine & Diagnostics
  • Cardiology, Dermatology & Ophthalmology
  • Interventional Radiology (including world-first procedures)
  • Rehabilitation & Pain Management Programs
  • Patient Transport Services
  • Mobile Specialist Visits to GP Vet Clinics

Whether your pet needs to stay overnight or can be treated as a day patient, we’re equipped to deliver timely, exceptional care.

Why Choose VSOS?

Compassion and Clinical Excellence

Our hand-picked team of veterinary specialists and emergency clinicians are among the most respected in their fields, and they’re also warm, approachable, and animal lovers first. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll feel supported and informed.

Independently Owned - Not Corporate

We’re not part of a large chain. VSOS was founded by veterinarians who wanted to provide better access to specialist care and that mission drives everything we do. It means more personalised care, more flexibility, and decisions made for the right reasons.

Seamless Support With Your Local Vet

VSOS works closely with your regular vet. We don’t replace them - we complement their care when things become complex. You can be confident knowing your pet’s journey is shared with the team who already knows them best.

Mobile Services for Less Stress

When appropriate, we can bring specialist care to your local vet’s clinic. It’s less stressful for your pet and often more convenient for you, especially if travel is difficult or you live further from Sydney.

Affordable Access to Specialist Care

We believe advanced veterinary care shouldn’t be out of reach. We offer competitive, transparent pricing and even complimentary patient transport for stable pets where possible. You’ll always receive clear cost information before any procedure or test is done.

Smarter Surgery, Faster Recovery

VSOS goes beyond traditional surgery, offering minimally invasive procedures that reduce stress, pain, and recovery time for your pet.

Our advanced interventional radiology service uses tiny instruments and real-time imaging to treat internal conditions through natural pathways or small incisions. That means:

  • No large wounds or stitches
  • Less need for pain relief or rest
  • Faster returns home - often the same day
  • Ideal for pets that can’t tolerate major surgery

We’ve used this approach to treat bladder obstructions, nasal tumours, liver and prostate cancers, and even severe arthritis.

One of our most remarkable cases was Hunter, a young dog crippled by elbow arthritis. After a pioneering embolisation procedure, he was walking within hours  and back to beach runs just weeks later.

This is surgery reimagined - safer, gentler, and led by one of the most advanced veterinary teams in Australia.

Your Journey With VSOS

From referral to recovery, we’re here to guide and support you:

Referral from your local vet
Your primary vet may recommend VSOS for further diagnostics or specialist care.

Consultation & diagnosis
Our team will examine your pet, explain the options, and design a treatment plan - often within the same visit.

Specialist treatment or surgery
If required, treatment can often happen on the same day. We aim to minimise hospital time where possible.

Ongoing support
You’ll be kept informed every step of the way, and we’ll share detailed updates with your referring vet.

Discharge & recovery
Many patients go home the same day. If recovery support is needed, we offer tailored rehabilitation and recheck options.

Emergency? Walk In, 24/7

If your pet needs urgent care, our emergency centre is open 24 hours, 7 days a week - no appointment needed. Just head straight to our Advanced Treatment Centre in Miranda. Our emergency and critical care team is always on-site, ready to help.

Real Care. Real Results.

Every week, we see complex cases walk back out our doors with tails wagging and purrs humming - thanks to the trust of owners like you and the expertise of our team.
