Our policy has always been to provide our clients and patients with the best possible levels of diagnostic work-up and treatment, whilst offering a range of treatment options to allow our clients to make well-judged decisions based upon their individual priorities.

One of the first practices South of the river, we first opened in 1966, when Dr David Parkinson left his practice in England to start Melville Animal Hospital. Roseanne Hughes, one of Melville’s founding veterinary nurses, still works with us today.

Dr Howard Hughes joined the practice in 1969, and in 1973 Dr Murray Reid came on board.

After Dr Parkinson left to explore other interests, Drs Hughes and Reid took over ownership.
In 1994, bringing with him vision and a contemporary outlook on veterinary care.

The ‘new look’ hospital was opened in September 1995, to the benefit of pets, their owners and staff alike.

In July 2005 Dr Murray Reid decided to sell his interest in the hospital and Jodi Thomas who has managed the practice for the last 3 years was able to fulfill her dream of becoming a part owner of "the best practice in Perth!"
Dr Murray Reid is continuing on in the practice part time and is enjoying his well earned "time off" during the week.

Our service has continued to grow:

With all of our nursing staff now qualified and registered (or in nursing training) we are extremely proud to provide you with a knowledgeable and confident team.
