The clinic is known locally by many as "The Blue Clinic with the Cow!" and is easily found on East Boundary Road, down the road from the new GESAC Swimming Centre. We also operate the Black Rock Animal Hospital, and running two practices in conjunction helps to build up to a ‘critical mass'. This is vital in being able to provide our clients with a high level of investment required for sophisticated equipment and high levels of staffing to allow flexibility of appointments. The practice has been serving the needs of the pets of the Glen Eira area for over 30 years, and the clinic has always been in the ownership of the vets who work there. Dr. Damian McShane has been personally involved with our patients here since 1997, and Dr Michael Heath and Dr. Lisa Sander since 2000. Dr Paul Owens joined us in 2010 and Dr Robb Quinn in 2011 and are both very popular with our clients. The long periods we have been at the practice provides a great amount of "local knowledge" of your pets and family, and excellent continuity of care. It is important to know that we are a fully equipped Veterinary Hospital and pride ourselves on the sophisticated equipment that we have at our fingertips. If you want to be wowed by digital endoscopy, digital radiography, ultrasound, blood pressure monitoring, operating microscopes and amazing orthopaedic instrumentation, then please ask for a demonstration. We pride ourselves on our level of service, and going the extra mile to "get it right". We have great continuity of care in cases of illness, and whichever vet you see you can be sure that they are up to date with the subtleties of your case. We hope you enjoy all your routine visits with us, and that your non-routine visits, those stressful times, can be made as comfortable for you and your pet as possible. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Unprofessional! - Unsympathetic! - Disgraceful!!
If you care about the welfare of your pet, avoid this clinic at all cost! And If your pet requires surgery or medical care, Don’t even contemplate using the services of Dr. Micheal Health, as he invites clients into the surgery whilst operating on other patients pets. Not only is the unhygienic, but deeply concerning! - How can one divide time between two patients at the same time?
When this is mentioned, he has the arrogance to announce “I’M MANAGEMENT”, and not deal with the concerns of this clients!

The staff at Bentleigh East are always so friendly and considerate of my puppies curious and timid nature.

Lottie has just had her desexing operation where she received the best care and I was sent home with clear instructions and information on her expected recovery and follow up requirements.

They all make a special fuss of a very spoilt girl and have always treated any concerns I have with her health with great care and thoughtfulness and with super practical outcomes for my old girl.
