Testimonials

I cannot rate the team at Marlin Coast Veterinary Hospital high enough. The two vets I see, Dr Ash and Dr Steven, are amazing. They take wonderful care of my dogs and as their owner, I am always treated with respect and all avenues of treatment are discussed in such detail. I've been to multiple vet clinics over the years and MCVH rate up there as one of the best.

I have utmost praise for Veterinary Surgeon,  Dr Steven, and the wonderful team members at Marlin Coast Veterinary Hospital. The facility is large, clean and inviting, and has a dedicated carpark on the premises with grass and shady trees for dogs to enjoy.  Most importantly, my husband and I are extremely happy with our dog Benny's knee surgery (and post operative care and treatment) by Steven. Such a lovely young man, so qualified and admirable. Benny's op site looks so clean and neat, and healed very quickly without any issues, and had him using that leg in the first/second week after surgery. Thank you, Steven, for a job well done!  All the staff are very friendly and helpful, too.

Solid and confident in their assessment of our fur baby.  Loved how each vet introduced themselves to our dog first. Clear, concise in how they explained everything to us.  We knew we made the right discussion in choosing Marlin Coast because Henry was happy to meet each of the vets that have assessed and treated him since last Thursday. Always trust your dog’s judgement.

I cannot rate Dr Steven Porep and the Marlin Coast Veterinary Hospital team highly enough.  We needed their expertise and care for emergency surgery for Storm, our 6 year old German shepherd who had a twisted stomach (GDV).  This happened on a Friday night and we are grateful for the excellent after hours care we received.  To all those involved in Storm’s care, we thank you very much.

Thanks to Liam, the other vet's & nurse's that took care of Cookie! They did an amazing job and were holistic in their approach, providing care for Cookie but also caring about the relationship we have with our dog. Taking time to listen to what was happening and diagnosing him. Highly recommended by our family and much gratitude to the team x

We have been using Marlin Coast Vets for many years with our old dog Trixy who passed away recently and with our new puppy Levi.  I could not be happier with the service.   Even when Trixy was very ill they explained everything she was going through and what we were to expect in her last days.  I appreciated at those times just knowing the truth of what was happening and the genuine compassion they shared with us.


Now we have a new puppy on our life I confident with the professionalism and advice they give.  I know when I need someone that Marlin Coast Vets will give me what I need
