About our clinic

Our clinic features:
A dedicated surgical theatre
Separate dog ward
Digital X-ray and ultrasound
Full in-house laboratory
Thoughtful, fear‐free design elements
We are a busy clinic with a steady and growing client base.
Our puppy preschool brings plenty of new faces through the doors each week, and we've built solid, long‐term relationships with many of our clients.
What stands out is the team.
It's a friendly, supportive group that works closely together and doesn't take itself too seriously.
The clinic has a genuinely happy feel, where people enjoy coming to work, help each other out, and share a laugh during the day.
The WA network
Teams across clinics regularly collaborate, share knowledge, and support each other when needed.
It's a network where people know each other, not just a group of separate clinics.

We're happy to have open conversations to ensure your pay reflects your experience and contribution.
