About Us

Who Are We?

Welcome to Whites Hill Veterinary Surgery – where pets are family too!

We are a friendly team of animal enthusiasts who aim to provide gold-standard care not just for pets but for the people who love them too. We understand that there is no ‘one-size fits all’, and tailor  care plans to suit your needs. We are firm believers that prevention is better than cure and will highlight the importance of preventative medicine. In addition, we offer a range of services from in-house diagnostic tests to surgical procedures (desexing, dentals, lump removals). We have a visiting orthopaedic surgeon for things like cruciate tears and fracture repairs and collaborate with various veterinary specialist centres.

Being pet owners ourselves we have great respect for the human-animal bond, and we look forward to building a lasting one with your pet. Our aim is that your pet has the longest, happiest and healthiest life possible.

If you don’t need an appointment yet, we invite you to bring your pet to meet our team – we are always stocked up on treats.

Last but certainly not the least, we are proud to offer the ‘Best for Pet’ program which makes routine veterinary care more affordable, spreading the love across the year at an economical monthly payment.
