Who are we?

The Benetook Veterinary Clinic was established in 1985, as a small single vet practice servicing Mildura and the surrounding areas. It has always been a very busy mixed practice with a high medical and surgical caseload.

 

With the principle of providing ever improving, timely, high quality veterinary care, the clinic has continued to expand with an increase in the number of staff and the size of our building footprint. We now have six dedicated small animal consulting rooms and three surgical suites. There is a full service laboratory on site and both small and large animal imaging services of x-ray and ultrasound to help with the diagnostic work up of difficult cases. Six anaesthetic machines with patient monitoring allows for multiple urgent surgical cases to be dealt with quickly.

Our facilities offer:

• Digital x-ray machine
• Ultrasound with colour doppler
• Multiparameter anaesthetic monitoring equipment
• In-house laboratory and cytology
• Endoscope
• Im3 dental equipment
• Orthopedic instruments

Our large animal facility has ten irrigated holding paddocks in addition to undercover stabling, and medical and limited surgical facilities in our large equine shed. Equine reproductive work is carried out here in a safe equine crush.

It is set on acreage on the outskirts of Mildura, allowing us to have both large and small animals on site. Our veterinarians and nurses provide a passionate and professional service for your pets and production animals. This may be just advice over the phone, or with the full veterinary work up of complicated medical and surgical cases.
