A man has been critically injured following an attack involving six dogs at a house in Sydney this morning.

Emergency services were called to a property on Kildare Rd in Doonside around 11am following reports of a dog attack.

The 54-year-old was treated at the scene before being taken to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition.

Six dogs were seized from the property by the Blacktown City Council following the incident.

A council spokesperson told Nine three of the dogs – believed to be Bull Arab crosses – were "voluntarily surrendered" at the owners' request and "have been euthanised".

"Preliminary information indicates the incident began when several large dogs attacked smaller dogs on the property," the spokesperson said.

"[The] council is committed to community safety and will continue to support police as enquiries continue."
