ABOUT US

We at Heathmont Animal Hospital are a team that is dedicated to outstanding service to both animals and their owners.

At our hospital, we recognise the importance of the bond that exists between people and their pets.
As our motto says, we gear our services to providing “special care” for those animals that are more than just pets but are in fact “special friends” of their owners.

Our commitment to excellent customer service was recognised by the Office of Fair Trading when we won an Award of Merit in the Victorian Fair Trading Awards as well as being a finalist 2 years running in the Maroondah Business Awards.

We see our role as helping you as our client to keep your pet in the best of health. This means we endeavour to involve you in decisions concerning the treatment and care of your pet. We believe in recommending the best, but also offering other options according to clients’ individual circumstances.
