Welcome to Ellenbrook Animal Clinic
Our friendly team are here to serve you...
The Ellenbrook Animal Clinic began life in the 1990’s as the original vet centre in Ellenbrook..In the early days of Ellenbrook,the clinic operated as a branch of the Landsdale Animal Hosital,primarily as consulting rooms.However as the district developed,so did the need for a more complete veterinary service.
In August 2006,Dr Greg Gale took over management and developed the clinic into a fully equipped veterinary centre capable of in house surgery,medical care,xrays,ultrasound and laboratory work.As a result our small unit became a tight fit.However in 2007 an opportunity arose for us to lease the neighbouring unit and to allow us to expand our premises.
Since that time we have grown steadily in the services we provide and now have clients visiting us from neighbouring Aveley,The Vines,Henley Brook,Belhus,Brigadoon,Beechboro,Upper Swan,Bullsbrook and Lower Chittering and of course from Ellenbrook itself.
Our team has a wealth of experience and a broad range of knowledge so please feel welcome to speak with us on any ‘pet concern’ you may have.
