Balcatta Veterinary Hospital first opened its doors to the pet owners of Perth in April 1974. We soon established ourselves as a provider of quality veterinary care and grew rapidly in popularity as a result. By the late 1980's Balcatta Vet had become so busy that we opened 24 hours a day to enable ourselves to give the best possible care to many of our critical patients. In the early 1990's, we established our referral service, which allowed other Perth veterinary hospitals to refer to us their own patients who required emergency treatment at any time of the night. To this day, Balcatta Veterinary Hospital still remains the only private 24 hour full-service veterinary hospital in Perth, and we currently accept emergency referrals from a large number of veterinary clinics from all over the metropolitan and country areas.

In recent times, Balcatta Vet has been busy with extensive renovations to expand our hospital , enabling us to cater for our increased critical care and emergency case load, as well as our normal general practice clients. With much excitement in early 2009 we opened our first stage of renovations, which included a spacious new modern reception with several waiting areas, four consulting rooms, a grooming wing and a new viewing zone for our cat adoption program. Our sleek new renovations were welcomed warmly by clients, patients and staff alike. Currently we are completing stage two of the renovations, which will include a state-of-the-art hospital with a new critical care unit, a new radiology and ultrasound wing, extended treatment rooms with large numbers of cages, two new surgery suites and owner visiting rooms.

From its early beginnings as a small three-vet practice, Balcatta Veterinary Hospital has grown to one of the largest and best equipped veterinary hospitals in Western Australia. We now employ 66 staff members including 27 veterinarians and 21 registered veterinary nurses. We pride ourselves on constantly improving our facilities, equipment and most importantly the skill and knowledge of our staff members. The result is an outstanding veterinary hospital with an impressive record of quality veterinary care and compassionate service.
