Hospital-level veterinary care, with the warmth of a local vet.
At Gawler Animal Hospital, we believe it is not only what we do for your pet that matters, but how we make them, and you, feel while we do it.
From routine health care through to complex medical and surgical treatment, our experienced team provides comprehensive veterinary care in a hospital designed around the needs of pets and their people.
Because how they feel matters too.
Care that considers the whole patient
We understand that coming to the vet can be stressful. That’s why we deliberately design our environment, our processes and the way we care for patients around their emotional wellbeing.
From nervous dogs who benefit from a quiet garden consultation, to cats who have their own dedicated waiting areas, consult rooms and hospital accommodation, we look for ways to make every visit as calm and comfortable as possible.
Our team are trained in Fear Free practices, with accredited and qualified team members helping us continue to improve the way we care for our patients.
Because exceptional veterinary care isn’t just about treating an illness or injury. It’s about caring for the whole patient, and the people who love them.
Experienced people. Comprehensive care.
Our veterinary and nursing teams bring together a wide range of knowledge, experience and areas of interest, supported by modern hospital facilities and ongoing professional development.
We provide everything from preventative and routine health care through to surgery, dentistry, diagnostic imaging, hospitalisation and more complex medical cases.
We also have particular experience caring for cats and exotic animals, because we know that not every pet fits into the usual mould.
We want you to feel confident in our care.
We take the time to listen, explain and answer your questions, so you can make informed decisions about your pet’s health.
Our clients tell us that we:
- Listen.
- Explain.
- Remember their pets.
- Make them feel less stressed.
- Go above and beyond.
- Treat their animals like their own.
That is the experience we want every client and every patient to have when they walk through our doors.
Your pet is more than a patient.
They are part of your family, and we understand how much they mean to you.
Whether you are bringing them in for their first vaccination, seeking advice about a change in their health, or needing more complex treatment, our team are here to provide knowledgeable, compassionate care at every stage of their life.
