Our History

Kalamunda Veterinary Clinic first opened its doors to the Perth Hills community in the 1990s – almost 40 years ago. In April 2009, John and Tracy Houghton purchased the clinic.

Today, it has been transformed from a small ‘country feel vet practice’ into a purpose-built, modern, equipped veterinary hospital that proudly serves the area with integrity, compassion and commitment.

What Our Clients Say

  • We love coming into the office, both of our dogs get excited as well. All the service and the medical treatment is fantastic as well. The new building is really designed well, especially being able to have the dog go out directly from the consult room, rather than into the area with other animals.
