e have been using this practice for quite some time now even travelling for 20 minutes as they have always been very caring and always felt comfortable, unfortunately I had a bad experience recently and I wont go back, I did the right thing and called them to voice my concerns of the over charging and was not listened to and was told " we will speak to the staff member, how does that help me when I was told one price and staff member made an error, anyway they told me to come in for next injection and would not charge me the $32 consult fee which still wasn't what we were overcharged. I thought at least it was something, well when I went in, very cold no consult at all injection in 10 seconds and then I was stared at, I do wonder when you are told we "charge a consult because we need to check out the dog and ensure all is ok, well they were not interested how my dog went on the last injection and the care factor was thrown out the window, disappointed, they clearly are not set up for customer service, I thought they cared for my dog but not sure now, I believe I gave them the benefit by making the time to call and give them a chance before I posted I decided to attend another Practice who has my business now, such a shame, I did ask not once but twice about he charges, someone obviously decided I should pay more.. Frustrated...

Went here to get my cat desexed after a recommendation. My cat is now sore down there, aggressive and in pain weeks later. It got to a point where I got really worried so asked for a check up which I was told prior to arrival was free to check the wound,temperature and surrounding area. The staff kept referring to my male cat as female and the vet didnt visually examine the wound until after I picked up my cat and forced him. The vet said it was everything (cat fight(never been in one) cystitus, bowel issues) but not desexing -even though its the wound that is causing my cat issues and he could visually see my super scared cat wince while being examined. Was told he would be given painkillers and anti-inflammatory medicatiob then charged a $70 consultation fee+medication fees. Staff were rude and bullying. I Will Never go back here. They cant tell the difference between a male and a female cat and that really scares me.

We have known Dr Pat Cole since we were kids when he was imported from NZ to The Tatiara by the Farmers. After many years of his Amazing Dedication to All Creatures big & small he moved to "Springbank Road" where by word of mouth he was soon recognised again for his Caring & Dedicated Manner & this followed through with the Vets he trained. He still shares an interest & drops in from time to time, although he has officially retired...his love for animals will always be there & of course a lovely, polite, "Gentle Man". You are Amazing Dr Pat Cole & we Thank You from the bottom of our hearts...The Pilgrim Families

I have not had the best experience with finding the right vet however, colonel light is definitely the vet that my dogs will be going to from now on. I took my 7yr old greyhound (holly) to this clinic for surgery and I was so happy with everyone at the clinic. Both vets and nurses were very welcoming and caring which made Holly extremely comfortable for the first time in a vet clinic. Darren and Zoe who are the vets who looked after holly were extremely gentle and caring towards her. You can see they’re passionate about what they do. Very happy with my experience. Thank you colonel light vet! :)

Good vet until we came across Paul. Rough with needle making our dog cry.She never has with any other vet with injections.Also negative in his opinions,talking with him about our dog getting skin irritations during hayfever season and how she seemed to be getting better as she matured, mentioned that I read that they sometimes grow out of that problem as their immune systems develop,he commented that sometimes it gets worse as well.Well Paul she has grown out of it mate.Also other dog owners in the Blackwood area have had similar experiences with him.

Always helpful, reception are always caring and all the veterinarians I have dealt with are brillant, but dont like say but I do have my favourites, we lost our JRT of almost 18 years and Chihuahua of 15 years, Colonel Light Veterinary was with us through their lifes journey of both much loved members of family (better known as our Fur babies), the veterinarians were caring and supportive until we had to say goodbye. If you are need to see a vet, I would highly recommend the team, you won't be disappointed

My dog was sent home with blood stained ears no medication after 2 lots of grass seed removed. I returned 2days later as my dog could not walk straight and was beside himself. I asked about any medication when l collected my dog and was told oh he shall be fine. Very expensive exercise and he is just getting back on track now and my other question about my dog did not get approached as my dog was whisked into another room for me then to be told he shall need anaesthetic. Quite disappointed

We have been using this clinic for well over 10 years. In that time we have had Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and Birds all whom have been treated at some stage or other. The staff here are among the most compassionate and caring professionals that I have ever had the pleasure of encountering. This is a veterinary clinic that puts the care of the animal above all else. Despite their superior service prices are surprisingly reasonable. I would'nt have my animals treated by anyone else

My family have been taking my dog Missy and previous pets to Colonel Light Vet Clinic for most of my life. After each appointment my family and I leave feeling like our pets have been cared for and that we are being looked after in an honest and compassionate manor. We tried going to another clinic when we moved an hour away but it wasn't the same, so now we just drive an hour to Colonel Light Gardens knowing we get the best affordable service and care right here. Thank you!!

Fantastic, empathetic and thorough vets and nurses. Open til 7.30 Monday to Friday and don't charge after hour fees. Saved our pockets when our shihtzus claw was snapped and almost ripped out when our dogs were playing, they fit me in and helped us out. Been going there since my cat had her eye removed. They've also treated her renal failure and treat all 4 of my animals over the last 4 and a half years. I will never go anywhere else. All the vets here are fantastic.

A friend recommended this Veterinary to me and i would recommend it also, very caring beautiful staff and prices are extremely good compared to elsewhere, especially coming from a country town where there is only one veterinary clinic, who will charge top dollar because they dont have any other competition. I was quoted $1000 for my dog in murray bridge and colonel lights charged my just under half for the same procedure! Extremely happy!

My little dog wasn't been well all week. She got worse early hours of this morning. I took her straight to Colonel light Gardens vet at 8am. (which is her regular vet clinic) I didn’t have an appointment and they saw her within 15 min of arriving. Very caring and understanding as I was so stressed and worried. Thank goodness it’s only a tummy bug and she will be ok. Was a very good price for a Saturday as well. Highly recommend this vet.

Have been going to this clinic with our previous dog Max who had to be put down in Apr this year. The service is good and the staff and vets are all very friendly and lovely. They even sent a little condolences card when Max was put down there. I've since got a new puppy and have taken Cody to the vet for his vaccinations and desex procedure. The staff are ever so friendly and helpful. Keep up the good service and work!

Better than the previous vets we went to, but it always seemed that they were trying to squeeze as much money out of us as possible. One of our cats is diabetic and we had very mixed experiences with some vets displaying care while others she seemed to just be a number. Our new vet always want to do what's best for our cat and their insulin is much cheaper too ($24 vs. $36).

Nicest staff anywhere been coming here for 27 years with 3 different dogs, all my dogs used to get excited when we turned in Springbank road as they knew where they were going, only had to open the car door and they would run to the vets door and try to open it, All the vets are wonderful, we had to recently say goodbye to our best mate and they were so lovely and wonderful,

Best vet ever! I had someone different every time and they have all been amazing. They also fit you in quickly. I even had to put my beloved cat down and everyone was so supportive, even the little touch of getting a card afterwards. Would recommend to anyone, and glad they were recommend to me, as I didn’t like the last vet I used to go to.

Practice is staffed by compassionate, experienced staff and vetinarians. Will make some concessions and payment arrangements for established clients with Health Care and Pension Cards in genuine need. Have accompanied several friends on their pet's 'final trip' and was touched by the sensitivity shown to both pet and owner.

Great parking fabulous staff and services information and l would recommend this practice to anyone who is looking for somewhere to take their pet and know that they will get the best treatment and support if the worst was to happen. I have been happy with them with all 6 dogs l have had over the past 24 years

We’ve been using this practice since we moved to Adelaide 14years ago. Always caring and can usually fit one of our babies in, in an emergency. However last time I rang to make an appointment the lady I spoke to on the phone was very rude, so now am not sure if I’ll keep going back to this clinic.

We have always found this clinic and its staff to be professional and very caring. They have looked after our animals for many years and over that time I have seen many different vets and nurses. They have all been very good with us and our animals. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone

I always take my dogs here for their checkups and they are treated very well. Also the last couple of times my dogs have needed urgent trips to the vet they have been able to see us very promptly meaning my dogs aren't left waiting in pain or sick. I think their prices are quite reasonable too.

Have been there many times over the years and always happy with the care provided to different pets. Great surgery, caring, professionals. Sadly the last time was to get the cat put to sleep, they were really empathetic and so nice to deal with thru the whole process. Thankyou.

We’re devastated, having to say a sudden goodbye to our beloved Murphy but Dr Caitlyn and Sam were incredibly supportive. Their empathy, understanding and caring attitude helped us through, and the information provided along the way was greatly appreciated. First class vets.

A very kind caring and good pet chiropractor ...he has done wonders for my dog Carlos..... I would recommend this family practice to anyone who is interested in a great chiropractor... The receptionist his wife is also very helpful and kind... No hesitation to give 5 stars ✨

We truly valued the care given to our beautiful dog over the past 14 years by Dr Suzanne Bloch and her team. Our dog LOVED her Vet visits! When we needed to make difficult decisions their professional opinion, compassion and understanding were very much appreciated.

Another fabulous experience (although more follow-up may lead to tears) these vets are respectful, honest and don't write off small pets like birds unlike some Hills vet has before. That is why I drive 45 minutes from the hills, bypassing 3 close vet clinics.

They care about what they do, the animals and the adult/children who accompany their patient. There are no 'dumb questions' and they keep within schedule. They are aware of potential waiting room problems and will find a separate space if necessary.

Took an abandoned /stray cat to Colonel Light Veterinary Surgery .The cat had an injury. Resulting in infection. Obviously in pain as well as starving. Staff were empathetic........poor cat . WHY ABANDON YOUR PET! Thanks to CLINIC for their care

Staff are real animal lovers, and always keen to hear your pet's story. Photo wall of all their patients is testimony to their trusted relationship with the pets and their families. Have been taken all of our menagerie there for decades now!

After several attempts to find a new veterinary practice (after retirement of vet of 30 years) finally found this practice. Only 2 consultations to date but would recommend. ( We found this practice through a word of mouth recommendation)

On day of my dogs operation price quoted during consult jumped up by $200.  Walked out and they lost me as a customer. Went to Bird & Smith myVET and the total bill was less than half - very impressed with their honesty and service.

You can be sure that your pets will receive excellent veterinary care from the team of happy, friendly and highly experienced vets and nurses at the Colonel Light Veterinary Clinic We wouldn't take our dogs or cat anywhere else.

Thank you so much for your care of our big boof head Mr Floki! We always feel so welcomed at this veterinary surgery. All of the staff are professional, friendly and courteous. Highly recommend this veterinary clinic.

Hands down the best vets I've ever been to. Would not take my pets anywhere else after having been here. Caring nursing staff, vets are efficient without being cold, and not as expensive as some places I've been.

I had never used a vet, until I recently purchased a cat and needed to have her wormed and vaccinated. I found both the vet and staff to be very friendly and warm towards both me and Echo. Would happily go back.

I had a very good experience with Colonel Light vet clinic. They were very calm and caring for my nervous dog, she got diagnosed quickly and they seem organised and respectful. I will come back with my dog.

These guys are great, always compassionate and really friendly. The vets, the nurses and the admin staff are all really good. Pricing is very reasonable for a vet and they truly look after your animal.

Terrible service, the staff at front desk are rude and inpatient. Vet doctor did ring warm check rapidly without any patience. She also wrote wrong anti-fungus cream name which really wasted our time.

Very compassionate, kind and caring staff. Very rare Veterinary Clinic that has its heart still in the right place with honest and sympathetic Veterinarians and Nursing Staff. Thank you ♥️

I've been taking my rabbits here for years and couldn't be happier with the service. From the friendly admin staff to the knowledgeable and skilled vets. Many thanks from my wife and I.

Had a few issues with my dog chip on her.They were quick to come to my rescue.The team were very friendly and helpful and came to my aid.Thank you so much for straightening things out.

I recently had to make the decision to have my elderly cat euthanased. The team here were so caring, they talked me through everything and made a hard day more bearable. Thank you

Both vet and vet nurse did the vaccination injection so well that Casper did not even know it was done. He was very calm the whole time and everything was great. Highly recommend

I took my cat, who I grew up with since birth, here on his last few days. The staff were so kind, helpful, and respectful and I'm so happy that he was treated with such kindness.

We have been coming here for 12years now and they have always been so accommodating, kind, and take good care of our dog. They understand your pet is family. Highly recommend

We’ve been going here for all our pets since the 80’s. All the staff over the years have been so caring and loving to our pets. They’ve treated them more like family members.

This was my first vet visit with my new kitten. The staff were so friendly and patiently answered my questions about her health & care. Thank you for looking after us both!

Wonderful veterinary practice. Great vets and nurses... caring, empathetic, skilled and experienced. Have had 3 dogs over thirty plus years and wouldn't go anywhere else.

We took our cat there after we went to that horrid one on Marion road near Mitchell park . Our cat was nearly dead because of the miss diagnosis from that other vet.

Fantastic caring and supportive staff. So nice to have vets and nurses that genuinely care about our furry members of the family. You guys are the best!! ❤ …

Colonel Light VET has always taken wonderful care of our family pets. They are always friendly, helpful and understanding. No better place to send your loved ones.

Highly recommend. They are absolutely lovely, very reasonably priced and always give frank advice about what is needed (and what isn’t) which we really appreciate

Best vets and nurses. Totally dedicated care to all facets of having a family pet at all stages from babies to end of life. Been going there for over 20 years.

Friendly staff and affordable pet care. My family have been using this clinic for 40 years for our various furry members. I’d never recommend anywhere else.

We have been going to this Vet Practice for over 30 years even though it is out of our way. Vets and staff are always good. We have got no reason to change.

Excellent service, great Vets and staff. Fully recommend them. The removed this stone from my dog's bladder. Dog well on way for full recovery. Thank you

Might want to change your opening times if no one is at the desk at the said opening time. I'm frantically trying to call for an emergency and no answer.

Very caring and clever people. They have looked after our pets for years, with good treatment and easy to understand explanations of what is going on

Been to a few vets over the years and this is by far one of the better ones. Very knowledgeable staff that actually care and amazing veterinarians!

Friendly and helpful staff. Very good with the animals. Clean and accessible. Off street parking back and front of premises. Highly recommended.

I would recommend these guys to everyone - friendly, professional, no bull and also very reasonably priced. Dr Sue and her team are the best!

Excellent prompt service for our cat surgery, at a very good price compared to our previous vet, with unprompted followup, very happy!! …

Really happy with the Service they managed to get our dog in quite quickly for an Emergency Visit Lovely Caring Vets Will definitely go back

Always Very Kind, Professional, Nothing is a bother and absolutely lovely to our adorable family member, Sketch. Thankyou, The Jones Family.

I've been bringing my puggle here since he was a pup. Great staff, excellent service and reasonably priced. My dog loves visiting this vet.

We've been visiting this wonderful vet clinic for over 20 years they are always caring and efficient. Well priced compared to some places.

Fabulous caring staff. Vets are excellent. Give discount for pensioners but seem to be less expensive than any other vets I have been to.

Lovely, compassionate and friendly staff. A great Vet that has the best interest of the animals at heart. Pricing is very reasonable too.

All the staff are kind and friendly. We've been using this vet for over 20 years. They have cared for cat, chook,frog and dog with TLC.

Kendall is an awesome Vet, looks after our little girl just wonderfully. Thoroughly recommend you take your fur baby there too.....

Amazing staff, brilliant care. Always lovely and helpful. Possibly more focused on my dogs than me, which is totally fine with me!

We've been coming here for over 30 years. Even after moving to the other side of town, we are happy to make the half hour drive.

Have been coming here for 10 years with 3 Dogs, Guinea pigs and Tortoises. I am very happy with this Practice and it's care.

Friendly, helpful and compassionate staff. The practice is light and airy and very clean! Very happy with my first visit!

A very caring and knowledgeable vet clinic. We know our pets will always be well cared for and well looked after.

Very expensive , especially when the vets can't get diagnosis right after paying out over $320 on a family pet

We take our kitten here & she is always well looked after. The staff are lovely & they are reasonably priced.

My pets have been coming here for over 30 years Wonderful staff ..they look after my fur babies really well.

Great surgery, with a variety of fantastic vets. Always so friendly and so knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Very good vet. Have been taken my dogs there for over 10 years and still very happy with them. …
