History
Our hospital has been caring for the pets of
Ingleburn since 1983.
- 1983 The hospital
was established by
Mark Fetterplace.
The original site was in
Stanley
Rd opposite the railway station, when Oxford Rd had
a a level crossing over the railway line. Back then, the hospital was
staffed by only one vet (Mark) and one nurse.
- 1988 We moved to
92
Oxford
Rd, where a purpose-built veterinary hospital
was constructed. At that time we were known as
Oxford
Road
Veterinary
Hospital.
- 1993 We purchased
a small part-time clinic (Ingleburn Veterinary Clinic), incorporated it into
our hospital, and changed our name to Ingleburn Veterinary Hospital.
- 1995 Our
hospital, including all patient records and client accounts was fully
computerised.
- 1998 We switched
to an appointment system to provide better service to our clients and
patients. We also started our quarterly newsletters to all current
clients.

web site was launched!

joined us as a full time veterinarian
- 2006 In March 2006
we moved to Noonan Road, into a hospital 4 times the size of Oxford Rd.
