Narraweena, Vet-O Pet Services is near you
Narraweena is one of the Northern Beaches’ least-transient suburbs: a high owner-occupier rate, families with children in freestanding houses on larger blocks, and a median age of 43 that reflects long-term residents rather than constant turnover. Pets here tend to be proper household members: backyard dogs with territories they know well, cats who patrol the garden, and the occasional family rabbit. Many of them have been at the same address for years.
Vet-O Pet Services is at 626 Pittwater Road in Brookvale, inside the PetO complex — about 5 minutes by car from Narraweena, or under 20 minutes on foot. Dr Chris Hong founded the clinic to give Northern Beaches pet owners consistent, quality vet care at prices they can see before they book. He has been at the same clinic since it opened and sees patients every day the clinic is open.

Narraweena is a suburb of houses, not apartments. The typical pet here has a garden, a routine, and a family who has known it for years. That creates a specific health pattern: gradual changes that are easy to miss because they happen so slowly. An annual wellness check provides a baseline that makes those changes visible. The vet who sees your dog every year can tell you whether the change in their coat, energy or weight sits within normal ageing or needs attention.
Families with children and pets face a particular logistical challenge: the vet visit often has to happen around school runs, work, and other commitments. Vet-O Pet Services’ hours were designed for this. The Saturday morning session covers weekend drop-offs. The Sunday session covers those who can’t make it during the week. The weekday evening window (7pm to 10pm) covers the parent who gets home at 6:30 and notices something is wrong.
Narraweena sits directly between Dee Why and Brookvale, and the clinic is on Pittwater Road — the main artery that connects all three. The drive is short and the PetO complex has ample free parking, which matters when you’re loading a large dog or a nervous cat into the car.
The clinic is at 626 Pittwater Road, inside the PetO complex in Brookvale — about 5 minutes by car from Narraweena, or walkable in under 20 minutes for those who prefer it.
