About us
For over 28 years, Mount Hutton Pet Hospital has delivered Veterinary excellence and has developed a well-earned reputation for attracting, retaining and developing quality Vets and Vet Nurses. We welcome new graduating veterinarians to start their careers here, ensuring a high level of support and ongoing education. For all Veterinarians, we offer interesting, diverse and challenging cases with manageable caseloads and a fair Work-Life Balance.
We are a family business that strives to provide excellence in all fields of veterinary care. We aim to achieve the highest standard of personal, friendly and affordable service for each and every pet.
Our veterinarians and qualified nurses are committed to caring. As pet owners ourselves, we understand and respect the special bond our clients share with their pets, as well as the love, loyalty and pleasure they bring to their life. Our aim is to provide them with cutting edge medicine and surgery, and the very best customer service.
I worked at Mount Hutton Veterinary Clinic as a locum vet earlier this year. The clinic was busy with a varied caseload and was an awesome learning experience. All the staff were incredibly helpful and supportive – all I had to do was ask and somebody would gladly help me find an answer regardless of the question. All the vets were incredibly knowledgeable and were willing to share this knowledge amongst each other if a difficult case came in. I can highly recommend Mount Hutton Pet Hospital as a workplace and would gladly take a job here if I was looking at permanent work in the Newcastle area. – Kylie Thurlow – Locum Veterinarian
