WELCOME TO HOLDEN HILL VET CLINIC

​

The Holden Hill Vet Story

Founded in 2002, the Holden Hill Veterinary Clinic has been a trusted name in animal care for over two decades. Our mission is simple: to provide exceptional and affordable medical and surgical care for your pets. We understand that pets are much more than animals—they are beloved family members.

Starting out as a family-owned clinic, we’ve worked hard to maintain that personal touch. Although our clinic is small, we pack it with advanced services, state-of-the-art equipment, and expert knowledge, all focused on delivering the highest standard of care. We take a calm and gentle approach to each patient, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable in our hands.

Our dedicated team of vets and vet nurses is committed to providing you with clear, thoughtful advice and support, empowering you to make the best decisions for your pet’s health and wellbeing. We believe in treating pets with the care they deserve and never offer unnecessary treatments. We pride ourselves on ethical care, not sales tactics!
