About Us

A local, family-owned practice caring for the animals of Western Victoria

Western Victoria Vets is a family-owned mixed practice based in Ararat, with a second clinic in Beaufort. We care for every kind of animal in our region - from much-loved pets to the cattle, sheep and horses that are part of local life and livelihoods. For us, good veterinary care is personal. We get to know your animals, your family and your farm, and we are here for the long haul.

Our Story

You may know us as Ararat Veterinary Clinic. For years we have been one of Ararat's two vet clinics, looking after the district's pets and production animals. As the practice has grown, so has the need for a bigger, better-equipped home - and a name that reflects the whole region we serve.
That is how Western Victoria Vets came to be.

What We Stand For

We are proudly family-owned and locally run. That means when you call us, you talk to people who live here, farm here and care about this community.

As a mixed practice we bring genuine breadth - the same team that looks after your pets understands stock and horses too. And because roaming and visiting specialists work alongside us, we can offer advanced care without you having to travel far from home.

Family-owned and community-minded
A true mixed practice - companion pets through to production animals

Part of the Western Victoria Community

We are lucky to call this part of the world home - the country between the Grampians, Mt Langi Ghiran and Mt Cole, with Ararat and Beaufort at its heart.
It is sheep and cattle country, wine country and a great place to raise a family and a few animals. Being local is not a marketing line for us; it is who we are, and it shapes the care we give.

Let's Look After Your Animals Together

Whether it is a routine check-up, a sick pet or a paddock full of stock, we are ready to help.

Give us a call or send an enquiry and our friendly team will take care of the rest.
