Established in October 2009 by Dr. Matt Young, a local who’s as much a part of Dapto as the community itself, this hospital is more than just a veterinary practice; it’s a place where every pet is treated like a member of our family.
The journey of Companion Animal Veterinary Hospital began over a decade ago, born out of a vision by Matt Young. After graduating from Sydney University in 1997, Matt felt a deep calling.
Recognizing the unique bond between Dapto’s residents and their pets, Matt created a space that combines top-notch veterinary care with a heartwarming, empathetic understanding of the needs of pets and their families.
Our team is trained in gentle, cat-friendly handling techniques, we never scruff, and we always work to reduce stress and anxiety. Being cat friendly is a big part of our commitment to providing truly fear-free care.
