Not all veterinarians are created equal

Your pet is always the most important thing to us and we want them to be happy coming to the clinic…even those a bit nervous. That’s why we do floor consults, outside consults and even in-home consults wherever we can. Our family-owned practice is holistic in our approach and has one of the few qualified Animal Acupuncturists, Dr John. We listen, we help, we heal.

  • “ Caring for my pets for over 10 years ”

    “I’ve been taking my pets to the Point Vet for 10 years and I would never go anywhere else. Their kindness and care of all my pets is so wonderful, even when I had to have my pet chicken put to sleep they were so kind and gentle with her. With all the staff you can see that their job is a labour of love!”

  • “ All the nurses & vets are so amazing! ”

    So friendly & kind. I love how they always interact with our animals & make them feel very loved!! My Great Dane is quite nervous in vets & gets a bit barky, but that never seems to bother them. Other vets we have gone too always muzzle her, which elevates her stress so much however they never do because they can tell she is just nervous & can read her body language so well & know she isn’t going to bite which I love!! They always explain everything so well & truly care about every animal they treat + the clinic is so beautiful. We are always willing to make the trip to this vet, despite it being a bit of a drive.

  • “ There aren't enough stars to rate this practice ”

    I am so grateful for the love and care everyone has constantly shown towards my beloved and somewhat senior girl Layla. The entire staff are wonderful and always so welcoming and I know that my dog is in the best of hands when ever I have had to leave her for any procedure. I have found Dr. John Rigley to be an exceptional vet and diagnostitian, highly professional and deeply compassionate as well as a man of integrity and true heart. Our animals are blessed to have him.

  • “ All the staff are wonderful ”

    If I could give the point more than 5 stars I would. I have been going to the point ever since I adopted my rescue cat Bunny a few years ago. All the staff are wonderful, honest and respectable. They keep you completely informed with what is happening with your pet. Most recently due to a minor emergency I had to rush my cat into the clinic. They were more than accommodating and did not think twice about getting her an appointment. I cannot thank them enough for not only taking care of Bunny but easing my nerves through the situation.

  • “ Reasonably priced and so accommodating ”

    Dr John and his team are so friendly, welcoming, know you and your pet by name. You can see they are there for your pets, keep you updated with everything related to what's happening with your furfriend. Reasonably priced and so accommodating for last minute bookings. I have been seeing Dr John for 10yrs now and would highly recommend The Pet Vet.

  • “ Dr John is so thorough, patient and honest ”

    We have been going to Dr John @ The Point Vet for over a decade. The level of care and expertise from every member of the team is always phenomenal. Dr John is so thorough, patient and honest. And never shies away from a lick in the mouth. The other Vets and Nurses are just as amazing. Honestly couldn't imagine taking our 3 fur babies anywhere else.

  • “ I have truly met the most amazing vet ”

    Having 3 dogs and 2 cats, I have truly met the most amazing vet. Dr John saved my cat with his amazing veterinary experience and so happy and privileged to find such an excellent team, they will go out of their way to help and with such compassion and willingness in the love they have for your pets. Never experienced the kindness and love they have. Highly recommended, they are certainly best Veterinary for the Gold Coast and Brisbane. Service is impeccable and best of all is the most updated knowledge than any Vet I have ever been to before. When you meet John, you know straight away his honesty and extensive experience will make you know you chose the best Vet ever.

  • “ The drive to The Point Vet team is worth it ”

    Simply cannot fault Dr John and his amazing team. From advice given by the team, the care and dedication shown to both our Boston and Angus and my daughter when she lost Angus, is beyond what you could ever expect. Highly recommend and if your not in the area, the drive to The Point Vet team is worth it.

    Allison Halbert

  • “ They saved Georgie’s life ”

    John has known our Labrador, Georgie, from when we first moved to the GC and he opened his clinic at Paradise Point. The team are second to none and their care and consideration cannot be faulted. They saved Georgie’s life when her spleen ruptured three years ago and John gave her the gentlest of exits when she went over the rainbow bridge last month at 14 1/2.

The best little vet on the coast

BASED in the heart of Paradise Point Village, we’re a family-owned vet clinic and at our heart, our core focus is putting the health and well-being of our fur friendies first. Always. Over 12 years ago, our famous Dr John Rigley opened his own practice with a desire to help heal all the beautiful pets of our wonderful little community with both a medical and holistic approach using a range of different therapies, surgeries and medicines. And so Paradise Point Vet was born. Since then, we’ve grown to over six devoted vets and a huge team of 12 incredible nurses who not only love what they do but feel every emotion, loss and difficult decision our clients are faced with. We do whatever we can to ease the burden of fear, anxiety and stress for both you and your pets. To us, you and your fur friendie matter.

Commitment to your pets

OUR pets can’t tell us what’s wrong with them so that’s why they rely on the expertise and highly-skilled minds of our wonderful team to diagnose, treat and improve their lives. We talk through your pet’s health with you and develop incredible bonds with not just our fur friendies but our clients too. Their trust is vital to how we are able to then go on to treat or if necessary, perform surgeries and develop ongoing plans to improve their pet’s health.
