About Us

The individual needs of the client and their companion are always at the heart of our experienced team. For more than 45 years, our hospital has been dedicated to providing veterinary care to the community of Newcastle.

Dr John Hayes opened the practice in 1977, providing companion animals of the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie region with a high standard of treatment. Originally Dr Hayes’ family home, the property was extended and converted into the veterinary hospital you see today. In October of 2012, Dr Hayes passed the privilege of ownership onto Dr David Larratt, where he functioned as senior surgeon and introduced a range of skills that were not previously available.

At present, Wallsend Vet is owned by Vet Partners, who are committed to striving for excellence in pet care.

The Wallsend Vet staff are devoted to working with both existing clients and new clients to provide high standards of veterinary care for our animal companions.
