Welcome to the Black Rock Animal Hospital

The clinic is known locally by many as "The Blue Clinic with the Cow!" and is easily found just up Balcombe Road from the Black Rock Village Shops, next-door to Jet Fuel Service Station.  We also operate the East Bentleigh Veterinary Clinic, and running two practices together helps to build up to a ‘critical mass'.  This is vital in being able to provide our clients with a high level of investment required for sophisticated equipment and high levels of staffing to allow flexibility of appointments.

The practice has been serving the needs of the pets of the Bayside area for over 30 years, and the clinic has always been in the ownership of the vets who work there. Dr. Damian McShane has been personally involved with our patients here since 1995, and Dr Michael Heath and Dr. Lisa Sander since 2000. This provides a great amount of "local knowledge" of your pets and family, and excellent continuity of care.

It is important to know that we are a fully equipped Veterinary Hospital and pride ourselves on the sophisticated equipment that we have at our fingertips. If you want to be wowed by digital endoscopy, digital radiography, ultrasound, blood pressure monitoring, operating microscopes and amazing orthopaedic instrumentation, then please ask for a demonstration.

We pride ourselves on our level of service, and going the extra mile to "get it right". We have great continuity of care in cases of illness, and whichever vet you see you can be sure that they are up to date with the subtleties of your case.

We hope you enjoy all your routine visits with us, and that your non-routine visits, those stressful times, can be made as comfortable for you and your pet as possible.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
