Two by Two Veterinary Hospital

Dr Peter Lee and Dr Natasha Bilous

Tash and Pete met whilst studying Veterinary Science at the University of Sydney in 1995. Almost 2 decades later, they are married with two children and live locally on the Northern Beaches along with their considerable collection of animals.

More Recently

Tash and Pete have lived and practised as vets in many locations both here and overseas. After graduating, they both commenced work in mixed large and small animal practice in Sydney’s outskirts. This was followed by work in numerous different practices in the UK over a number of years. A particular highlight of both careers was working for a Horse and Donkey charity in Morocco where they were able to offer free veterinary care to the often forgotten four legged workers in North Africa.

The At-Home Experience

Pete and Tash have also worked in Hong Kong and a number of different Sydney locations. Having settled on the Northern Beach 12 years ago, they’ve never looked back!

Clinic Support Team

Peter enjoys all aspects of veterinary practice, but has a special interest in orthopaedic surgery including the most up to date cruciate ligament repair techniques.

Natasha loves EVERYTHING about being a vet- she loves the puppies and kittens, the oldies and the in-betweeners.

Feel free to contact us with any questions or come by for a guided tour and to meet our staff and discover a new standard of veterinary care

Health Checks

Whether your pet is a brand new baby or a long term family member, we are available to assess your pet’s needs and give up to date advice.
Call us to discuss your needs.

Vaccinations

There can be confusion over vaccination requirements for pets. Our aim at Two by Two Veterinary Hospital is to discuss your pet’s individual circumstances in detail and then tailor vaccination protocols to minimise infectious disease risk but avoid over vaccination of low risk animals.

Dental Care

Similar to people, pets often experience dental disease. Early intervention and then prevention of recurrence has been shown to increase both quality and length of life in pets.

Nutrition

Discuss your pets needs with our helpful vets and nurses. We stock a range of premium quality diets.

Cat Boarding

Come and see our cat boarding facilities- we welcome inspections. We are able to offer a far more personalised service than larger boarding facilities.

Felines are housed separately to minimise stress and allow them to settle quickly into their holiday accommodation.

Cats are housed in deluxe cat runs, double height with a hammock and viewing platform.
It can sometimes be convenient to schedule a dental or surgical procedure during your pet’s stay, knowing they will be able to recover under the watchful care of professionals. Call us to discuss your needs. We wouldn’t have surgery without pain relief and should expect the same for our pets. Our vets use up to date protocols and equipment to have your pet feeling great in no time.

Puppy and Kitten Advice

We love to talk puppies and kittens. If you would like to chat to a independent qualified professional before you get your pup or kitten, give us a call or drop by.
Perhaps you had questions about breed choice, health concerns or puppy/kitten care in general. We’re happy to give advice.

Microchips

This is a legal requirement for all dogs and cats in NSW and the best way of ensuring permanent identification of your pet. Placement is by a one off, simple injection but the benefits are life long.

Advise on parasite control

Get on top of fleas, ticks and worms… and all the creepy crawlies that call your pet home.
Protecting your pet from harmful parasites is essential to their long-term health and comfort. Parasite prevention helps guard against common threats like fleas, paralysis ticks, and intestinal worms. Whether it’s parasite control for dogs or cat parasite prevention, regular check-ups at your trusted vet in the Northern Beaches and year-round preventive care are key. Fleas can cause itching, skin infections and even trigger allergies, making timely flea treatment for dogs and cats a must.
Left untreated, parasites can also pose risks to people in your home. From heartworms to intestinal worms, early diagnosis and proper care make all the difference. We’ll work with you to create a personalised prevention plan so your furry friend stays safe, happy and healthy all year round.

How to Stop and Control Ticks on the Northern Beaches

The Northern Beaches has a lot of bushland and wildlife, which makes it a great place for paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus) to live. These ticks are a big hazard to our dogs all year long. Paralysis ticks can show up outside of these months, but the danger is highest between September and March. That’s why it’s important to prevent things all year round.
This is how pet owners can keep ahead of the game:

• Check for ticks every day: After every stroll, look at your dog or cat’s head, neck, ears, underarms, paws, tail base and crotch. Long-haired pets’ fur should be clipped or shaved in areas where it is weak.
• Safe ways to get rid of them: Use a tick removal tool or fine-tipped tweezers. Hold the tick close to the skin and draw it up slowly. Don’t squeeze or twist. After cleaning the bite location, keep a watchful eye on your pet.
• Managing the environment: Cut the grass, pick up leaves, and clear away plants along walks. Ticks can even live in gardens in the suburbs.
• Preventative treatments: Talk to your vet about the best way to address the problem, whether it’s by oral, topical, collar, or long-acting forms. The goal is to protect all year long.
• Know the warning signs: If your dog starts acting tired, weak in the limbs, having trouble breathing, vomiting, drooling, or changing its bark, you should take it to the clinic right away.

If your pet exhibits signs of illness, we can help you make a personalised preventative strategy, safely remove the problem, and get them to the vet right away. You may enjoy the outdoors without worrying about your dogs.

Diagnostics

Radiology and Ultrasound

These allow for fast and accurate diagnosis of a range of simple and complex problems. Our advanced digital X-ray and ultrasound equipment allow for fast, accurate diagnosis of a wide range of health concerns, from broken bones and joint issues to abdominal and chest problems. These imaging tools help us assess your pet’s internal organs, detect injuries, and identify conditions that aren’t visible during a physical examination. With these services available at our vet clinic in the Northern Beaches, you can be assured your pet’s health is assessed with precision and care, all in a familiar and comfortable environment.

Laboratory

Blood tests allow for fast and efficient diagnosis for your pet when there are more serious problems, or to provide peace of mind in association with routine health checks. Our in-house laboratory also enables us to perform additional tests such as urine analysis, faecal examinations, and cytology for skin and ear conditions. Having these facilities on-site means we can deliver same-day results in most cases, allowing us to begin treatment without unnecessary delays. At our vet clinic in the Northern Beaches, we use these tools to monitor ongoing conditions, detect illness early, and ensure your pet receives timely, professional care.
