About Us!
We build healthy families
Lake Road Veterinary Hospital is the only 24-hour veterinary hospital between Canberra/ACT, Bendigo/VIC and Adelaide/SA. We provide emergency veterinary care to companion animals and a diverse range of wildlife. Our mission is to deliver industry-leading veterinary and ancillary services to Wagga Wagga, the broader Riverina as well as regional and remote NSW.
Our passion is to build healthy families. This is broader than the veterinary patient as we understand the deep connection of furbabies with their people. The impact our pets have on our community's physical and physical and mental health is enormous and working through these challenges provides our team fulfilment.
We are a family-owned hospital and a female-dominated team with all senior managers being young women with young children. We are proud to engage women and families in business and leadership roles. We are passionate about training and development as well as the ability to provide career progression for junior leaders and trainees.
We offer a holistic approach to animal health and wellness that focuses on preventative medicine. We understand that things do not always go to plan and that emergencies do happen. It is essential to us that all families have access to emergency and timely veterinary care if and when a furbaby requires treatment.
Our dedicated team works hard throughout the night to ensure all patients are appropriately triaged and receive appropriate care.
