Patterson River Veterinary Centre

Welcome to Patterson River Veterinary Centre, located at 15 McLeod Road, Carrum, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, we specialize in providing top-notch veterinary care for your beloved pets. Our dedicated staff are all passionate pet lovers, and we take pride in offering personalized care to both our clients and their furry companions.

Our practice owners, Greg and Kerrie Rodgers, have been caring for pets in the Carrum and Patterson Lakes area since 1991. We believe in the importance of continuity of care, and whenever possible, we strive to provide the same veterinarian for your pet. This ensures a more personal and consistent level of service, something that sets us apart from other veterinary clinics.

At Patterson River Veterinary Centre, we offer a comprehensive range of services to keep your pets healthy and happy. From vaccinations, desexing, and microchipping to parasite control, dedicated hydrobath room, puppy classes, soft tissue surgery, dentistry, orthopaedic surgery, radiology, ultrasound, pathology, and premium pet foods, we have everything your pet needs under one roof.

Our veterinarians have a passion for all aspects of small animal medicine and surgery. We perform various types of surgery on-site and always discuss options with you when your pet requires testing, treatment, or surgery. We understand the importance of communication, and we work closely with you to ensure the highest level of care for your furry friend. We will keep you informed about the costs involved and any changes that may occur during the course of treatment.

As members of the AVA (Australian Veterinary Association), ASAVA (Australian Small Animal Veterinary Association), and ISFM (International Society of Feline Medicine), we believe in the importance of continuing education to provide the best possible care for your pet.

At Patterson River Veterinary Centre, we are passionate about animal welfare. We proudly support several animal rescue organizations, including Pawfect Pals Animal Rescue, Dogs 4 Jobs, Oscars Law, and Vets against Live Export. By choosing us, you are supporting these worthy causes as well.
