About our clinic
Dr Nic Cher, BVMS
Principal Vet, South Brisbane Vet
Welcome to our vet clinic in West End. I'm Dr Nic, and I lead a wonderful team of veterinarians and nurses to provide tailored veterinary care for your pet. We're on the same page as you: our pets are our family, our fur children, and we want to give them the best possible care so they have the best quality of life at an affordable price.
​
I qualified as a veterinarian with a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVMS) from Murdoch University, and also hold a Bachelor of Wildlife Biology from the University of Queensland. Before I was treating pets full-time, I worked as an aquarium education officer, a dog walker and a groomer — jobs that taught me as much about animal behaviour as anything I learned in a lecture hall. I've now spent 15 years in clinical practice, and pet longevity has become something I care about deeply — not just professionally, but personally. Three of my own dogs lived to 18, 19 and 20 years old, and a lot of how I practise now comes from wanting to give your pet that same shot at a long, comfortable life. I am also fluent in Mandarin Chinese and English.
​
Our team's key strengths:
-
itchy pets,
-
senior pets (8+ years), particularly where you're looking to ensure quality of life and get a little more time with them, and
-
pets with sensitive stomachs.
-
preventative dental care
Our approach to veterinary care
Our approach to veterinary care
For us here at South Brisbane Vet, our starting point is Compassion. We live it, breathe it, and it permeates everything we do. We have a strong focus on:
-
pain management,
-
quality of life, and
-
reducing anaesthetic risk associated with sick geriatric patients.
We believe every veterinary patient is unique, and we tailor our treatment plan accordingly to your pet's needs. This means we listen — from our vet to our nurses — we're here for you and your furry loved ones. We also seek to inform, without the jargon, to tell you what you need to know and give you as much certainty as the circumstances allow. We strive to provide Gold Standard veterinary care at a budget-friendly price.
​
Located in the heart of West End, South Brisbane Vet is a trusted veterinary clinic serving pets and families throughout South Brisbane, Southbank, Woolloongabba, Highgate Hill, Dutton Park, Kangaroo Point, Paddington and surrounding inner-city Brisbane suburbs. We provide comprehensive veterinary services including pet vaccinations, dental treatments, surgery, diagnostics and wellness care at affordable prices.
​
We're also deeply passionate about being part of, and giving back to, the community in the same way pets are a big part of our lives. Our philosophy of Compassion extends beyond the four corners of our clinic — we advocate for inclusion, diversity, and most importantly, for the mental wellbeing of our community: our clients, our staff, and even our pets.
​
Our top priority is always the health and wellbeing of your pet. Come in and experience our compassionate care, our joy in being part of the community, and most importantly, our love for animals. We're for the pet-filled life.
