Melville Animal Hospital is a well-established veterinary practice that has been serving the Melville community for many years, making it one of the first animal hospitals south of the river. Originally a smaller facility with just a waiting area, a single consulting room, and basic surgical capabilities, the hospital underwent significant redevelopment in 1995, expanding its space and services. Today, it boasts three consulting rooms, comprehensive treatment areas, surgery and x-ray rooms, and a dedicated grooming department, all designed to provide the highest level of care for pets. With a team of 30 dedicated staff members, including veterinarians, nurses, kennel hands, and groomers, the hospital is equipped to handle a wide range of veterinary needs.
The services offered at Melville Animal Hospital are diverse and tailored to meet the needs of pets at every stage of life. From routine consultations for new puppy checks to more complex evaluations for persistent health issues, the hospital is committed to providing thorough and compassionate care. Their offerings include quick nail clips, comprehensive 30-minute workups, and a four-week training course for dogs over 14 weeks of age, aimed at fostering well-adjusted and responsible pets. The hospital prides itself on utilizing the latest clinical knowledge, anaesthetic, and surgical techniques to ensure the best outcomes for their furry patients.
As a family-owned practice, Melville Animal Hospital emphasizes a community-focused philosophy, with many staff members residing locally and actively supporting nearby businesses. The hospital’s commitment to exceptional service is reflected in its long-standing staff, many of whom have been with the practice for years and have returned after raising their own families. This continuity fosters a warm and welcoming environment for both pets and their owners, making each visit a positive experience. The dedication of the team, combined with the trust and loyalty of their clients, has made Melville Animal Hospital a beloved institution in the community.
