OUR STORY
Nowra Veterinary Hospital was established in 1976 in a small house on Kinghorne Street. As the demand for quality veterinary care grew, the clinic moved to a larger premises nearby, undergoing several major renovations over the years.
In 2019, we opened the doors to our current location, a brand new, purpose built veterinary hospital at 209 Kinghorne Street, designed to meet the evolving needs of our patients and provide a calm, modern space for animals and their people.
In 2005, we expanded our services to the Bay & Basin area with the opening of Bay & Basin Animal Hospital, a branch that continues to grow and support local pet owners and holidaymakers in the region.
ONE MISSION: BETTER CARE FOR EVERY ANIMAL
Whether it’s a sick calf, an ageing cat, a horse with lameness, or a new litter of pups - we approach every patient with empathy, experience, and a genuine love of animals.
