Welcome to Ballina Veterinary Hospital Our Mission Everyone at Ballina Veterinary Hospital is animal oriented.  Our first priority is to your furry companion but we like to think that we care for you, the owner, as well.  We aim to provide a quality service at a reasonable price.  Ian King B.V.Sc. [Syd]. Senior Veterinarian and Practice Principal is committed to:- Sensitive, conscientious & caring companion animal care - we treat your pets as we would treat our own. Service - Service is our No. 1 priority. Affordable Pet Care - we charge fair prices which offer value for money. We do not compete on price. Understandably, to offer your pet the very best pet care we need to constantly upgrade our equipment. Loyalty from our large client base allows us to keep up with modern technology. Cleanliness - a high standard of cleanliness is maintained to minimize odours often found on veterinary premises. Friendly staff - staff are carefully chosen for their expertise in public relations, knowledge, animal handling and care. Informed Advice - staff & veterinarians constantly increase their levels of knowledge through a variety of sources eg. Conferences, Seminars, Visiting Company Reps. Post Graduate Study or reading the latest veterinary publications. Preventative Health - we stock the latest pet health care products. Kennels - kennelling for dogs and cats is in stainless steel cages (easy clean) and for added comfort, soft bedding. We are blessed with caring clients who sometimes add to our collection of crochet blankets etc. Covered, large external runs provide additional kennelling for extra large dogs Same day routine surgery - patient is returned to your care - pm. We minimize the hospilisation of pets as we believe most pets enjoy their home comforts just as much as we do. Easy off street parking - and one wet weather undercover park.  Ian and wife, Gayle, purchased Ballina Veterinary Hospital in 1994 when the business was housed in a small converted cottage located in Tamar Street. Dedication and long hours quickly converted the business to a team of 5. Increasingly, space became a premium and a new site was sought. Ballina Veterinary Hospital today, arguably equals or betters many metropolitan practices. It provides country clients with a purpose built, modern, Class "A" hospital providing the latest equipment and facilities. It was the culmination of much experience and research on Ian's part. An Architect was employed to put the plan together and the result is a very attractive, modern building, painted in bright, fresh colours. It is conveniently located (next to the Police Station)in the main street of Ballina. The position is central to Alstonville, South Ballina, West Ballina, East Ballina, Lennox Head and rural areas of North Ballina. Off-street car parking is easily accessed from River Street and a choice of access to the main entry door is provided via steps or ramp. The ramp provides for wheelchair, pram, & scooter access. Clients are welcome to pop in and view merchandise products, nutrition products or check their pet's weight.
