Balcatta Veterinary Hospital first opened its doors to the pet owners of Perth in April 1974. Over the ensuing 36 years there have been multiple facelifts to transform a small three vet practice into one of the largest veterinary hospitals in the Perth metropolitan area.

Situated adjacent to a major arterial road and freeway, Balcatta Veterinary Hospital provides a convenient and comprehensive service for Perth's pet owners. Together with the Northern Suburbs Small Animal Emergency Centre, Balcatta Veterinary Hospital is Perth's only private 24-hour veterinary hospital.

The Northern Suburbs Small Animal Emergency Centre was established in 1989 to provide an after-hours service on weekends for the veterinarians and pet owners of Perth's northern and surrounding suburbs.

In 1990 the Emergency Centre extended its hours to include weeknights. The Emergency Centre provides a comprehensive after-hours service and monitoring facility for referring veterinarians and our clients. The Emergency Centre has a veterinarian and support staff on premises 24 hours a day, every day of the year to accept emergency cases for diagnosis and treatment.
