Veterinary Care
Comprehensive medical treatment for pets including routine checkups, chronic condition management, and emergency referrals. Our services combine advanced diagnostics with compassionate care, ensuring tailored treatment plans for dogs, cats, and exotic pets. With over two decades of local experience, we prioritise preventive care and early intervention to maintain long-term pet wellness.
Pet Dentistry
Advanced dental treatments including cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery performed under safe anaesthesia. We utilise modern equipment to address periodontal disease and maintain oral health, which directly impacts overall pet wellbeing. Regular dental checkups help prevent systemic health issues in companion animals.
Diagnostic Testing
In-house blood testing and imaging services for rapid, accurate diagnosis of health conditions. Our laboratory capabilities support immediate treatment decisions, while ultrasound and X-ray facilities enable detailed internal examinations. This technology allows precise monitoring of chronic conditions and treatment effectiveness.
Puppy Preschool
Socialisation programs developed in partnership with the RSPCA to build essential behavioural skills in young dogs. Structured classes focus on obedience, confidence building, and positive human-animal interactions. Early training establishes lifelong good behaviour and strengthens pet-owner relationships through professional guidance.

Our team specialises in soft tissue surgery, orthopaedics, and emergency interventions using strict anaesthetic protocols.

She has some major issues. Completly unprofessional and dislike intently. Like to see her take me to court anyday. Would not advise anyone to take a mouse there let alone other animals.

Dr Sam and the team at Yanchep Vet Hospital have always been incredibly dedicated and professional. I work with a dog rescue and take several of my difficult, reactive, large dogs to the clinic and we are always made to feel welcome and accommodated for.
Dr Sam and nurse Annette supported us through a difficult end of life last year with my heart dog Harley. He couldn't have been in better hands!
Everyone went over and above for us, making sure we knew every detail and were in constant contact throughout. I have worked with animals for many years in all areas of Perth and have driven long distances

Amazing Vet hospital with some of the most knowledgeable staff I've encountered in the industry.
Genuinely caring and empathetic service with excellent attention to detail. My dog loves traveling out to Yanchep Vet - even though it's a long way from home for me it's reassuring to know he's getting the best treatment. I highly recommend!

The best Vets in town. Your business has so much integrity, professionalism, knowledge and kindness. I am always greeted with a smile and the follow up care after any surgeries is fantastic. You always get to the bottom of the problem and explain everything clearly and calmly. We have two dogs that you look after and they love coming and seeing you and the girls. Both dogs have come to you since they were puppies. The way you have upheld this integrity and professionalism during the Pandemic is impressive, it is a credit to you and your businesss values and work ethics. I have so
