Gloucester Veterinary Hospital

Gloucester Veterinary Hospital is the first private veterinary practice in Gloucester commenced in 1952. From a practice that serviced 300 dairies by a single practitioner, the practice has expanded to now employing 3 full time veterinarians and 2 full time veterinary nurses as well as a full time practice manager.

Whilst there is still a large component of dairy vet services, the nature of this service has changed from “fire-brigade” to include preventative and herd health medicine as well.

Gloucester also has a large number of beef properties which require veterinary assistance as needed or for regular pregnancy testing and bull soundness examinations.

The pleasure horse/working stockhorse is still a very important species in a rural practice and full ambulatory service is provided.

Surgical and medical services are comprehensively available for companion animals as well and this is now a significant component of the Gloucester Veterinary Hospital business and focus.

Other species attended by the practice include native fauna, birds and sheep, goats and alpacas – in fact, we will endeavour to attend to all animals requiring veterinary care.
