Keysborough Veterinary Practice

Keysborough Veterinary Practice has provided outstanding veterinary care to Keysborough and the surrounding suburbs since 1988. The clinic is purpose built and fully equipped, but the most important part of our practice is our people. Our dedicated team of Veterinarians, Nurses and Receptionists are committed to making your trip to the vet as positive an experience as possible for the whole family, both 2 and 4-legged.

Our aim is to help you enjoy life with your pets, by providing a low stress and welcoming place to help you with all life stages of your pet.  We provide personalised care tailored to you and your pet, whether it be an emergency presentation, wellness care, or advice on a new addition to the family. Compassion, understanding and a commitment to client education compliment out exceptional veterinary services.
