About Us

Our hospital is independently owned and has been practising for over 60 years. We’re one of few non-corporate independently owned vet hospitals in nearby suburbs and our team is very proud of this. Our nurses are very proactive and efficient, leaving the vets to practice best medicine and surgeries for optimum patient outcome. This is why our team loves BAH!

We place great value on teamwork as our priority, and we want our team members to be happy to come to work. We support each other, we are respectful, we work together with fun and of course we care for our patients and their parents. You will be supported by our senior vets, and we routinely discuss our cases for patients’ benefit and our interests. We have a higher vet to supportive staff ratio, and this helps to keep our team morale healthy. We encourage and ensure our vets have a scheduled break each day and have a fully stocked lunchroom.

We have 20-minute consultations to work in a more relaxed fashion and to allow us to get to know more about our patients and owners. We don’t overbook you with consultations and you’ll have time to research and formulate a plan for your complicated cases. Plus, we take work-life balance seriously and we’re very supportive for family gatherings and requirements

We’re lucky to have excellent clientele (we really mean this); our clients are happy to come to us, happy to chat with us and discuss their lives with our team. We have become an extended family!! Most of our clients are willing to pursue the best diagnostics and surgeries for successful outcomes. A very high proportion of our patients are insured and friendly to handle.

What We Do Every Day

We use very safe and effective pain management, and this ensures our patients wake up relaxed. Our patients are incredibly happy to stay in our hospital or see us in consultations.

Advanced surgeries are performed on a regular basis. Orthopaedic surgeries include bone levelling techniques for ACL tears, MPL, simple fracture repairs and soft tissue surgeries such as anal sacculectomies, BOAS surgeries, tumour resection and eye surgeries.

Of course, we’re doing all the evidence-based diagnostic, treatment, and management of our patients every day. We treat many simple and complex medical cases.

Our Equipment
We have all the surgical tools you could hope for in general practice including heated surgical table, electrocautery and Striker sets. We recently purchased a brand-new ultrasound and have digital dental X-ray (so you don't have to guess what is happening under the gum!). Other equipment includes digital X-ray, endoscope, digital tonometry, blood pressure machine, ECG, in-house blood machines, ophthalmoscope, bair hugger and oxygen generator.
