Leading Brisbane Veterinary Clinic and Equine Hospital
WestVETs was established in 1999 as the Anstead Veterinary Practice and since then has grown to become a multi-veterinarian practice providing services for all animals. In 2012, Anstead Practice expanded by opening a second small animal hospital as well as Equine Reproduction Centre at Marburg on the Warrego Highway. The practice changed its name to WestVETS Animal Hospital to reflect the expansion. WestVETS is committed to providing compassionate, quality and affordable veterinary care for family pets, horses and farm animals in the Brisbane and Ipswich areas.
