Welcome to West Footscray Veterinary Clinic, a well-established veterinary practice that has been serving the community since the 1950s. Our clinic, located at 689 Barkly Street West Footscray VIC 3012, has a long history of providing exceptional care for all kinds of animals, from common pets like cats and dogs to more exotic ones such as birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents, ferrets, fish, and reptiles.
Our clinic has undergone significant changes over the years, including an extension and renovation in 1985 and a relocation of our sister clinic, St. Albans Veterinary Clinic, in 1991. In 2006, the St. Albans Veterinary Clinic was replaced with a new, purpose-built clinic. Today, both clinics are home to a team of 9 veterinarians and 10 veterinary nurses who are dedicated to the well-being of animals and committed to providing the highest standard of care for your pets.
