Kaleen Veterinary Hospital, established in 1978 by Dr. Steve Connell, has been a cornerstone of the Kaleen community for over four decades. With a commitment to providing high-quality medical, surgical, and dental care, the hospital has built a reputation for excellence in veterinary services. In 2016, Dr. Connell passed the leadership to Dr. Alison Taylor and Dr. Michael Archinal, who continue to uphold the values and standards that have defined the practice since its inception. The hospital’s dedication to the well-being of pets and their owners is evident in every aspect of their service.
At Kaleen Vet, the philosophy centers around treating every pet as if they were a member of the family. Understanding that visits to the veterinarian can be stressful for both pets and their owners, the team prioritizes creating a welcoming and calming environment. The staff takes the time to ensure that each patient receives personalized attention and care, fostering trust and comfort during their visits. This compassionate approach has endeared the hospital to the local community, making it a preferred choice for pet owners in the area.
In addition to their core veterinary services, Kaleen Veterinary Hospital acknowledges and respects the cultural heritage of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which they operate. This commitment to reconciliation reflects the hospital’s deep-rooted connection to the community and its values. By combining high-quality veterinary care with a strong sense of community responsibility, Kaleen Vet continues to thrive as a trusted partner in pet health and wellness.
