The Benetook Veterinary Clinic, established in 1985 by Dr. William Sutherland, has been a cornerstone of veterinary care in Mildura and its surrounding areas for nearly four decades. Initially a small single-vet practice located in part of an old farmhouse on a vineyard, the clinic has grown significantly in response to the high demand for both large and small animal care. Over the years, it has expanded its facilities and staff, now boasting six dedicated small animal consulting rooms, three surgical suites, and a full-service laboratory. The clinic’s commitment to providing high-quality, timely veterinary care has been a driving force behind its growth and success.
At Benetook Veterinary Clinic, a wide range of services is offered to cater to the diverse needs of pets and production animals. The clinic is equipped with advanced imaging services, including x-ray and ultrasound, to assist in diagnosing complex medical cases. With six anaesthetic machines and patient monitoring systems, the clinic is well-prepared to handle multiple urgent surgical cases efficiently. Additionally, the large animal facility features ten irrigated holding paddocks and specialized medical and surgical facilities for equine care, including a safe equine crush for reproductive work. The dedicated team of veterinarians and veterinary nurses is passionate about providing exceptional care, whether through phone consultations or comprehensive veterinary workups.
The philosophy of Benetook Veterinary Clinic centers around the belief that pets are family, and this ethos is reflected in the compassionate and professional service provided by the staff. Following Dr. Sutherland’s retirement in 2021, the clinic is now managed by Dr. Ealasaid Manson and a team of experienced veterinary nurses who have been integral to the practice since 2012. The clinic continues to prioritize the well-being of animals, offering not only routine care but also emergency services during weekends and public holidays. With a rich history and a commitment to excellence, Benetook Veterinary Clinic remains dedicated to serving the community and ensuring the health and happiness of the animals under their care.
