Hunter Veterinary Hospital

The RSPCA NSW Hunter Veterinary Hospital provides exceptional care to animals in need in the Hunter region. Since 2005, our hospital has served a crucial role in the community, offering a range of services designed to support both pets and shelter animals. No matter their background, every patient receives the highest level of care from our attentive, compassionate, and experienced veterinary team. 

Located in Rutherford, our hospital is equipped to meet any animals’ needs. Our dedicated teams offer a wide range of services, from x-rays and personalised consultations to major surgeries and more. 

Beyond medical care, our Hunter et hospital also serves as a hub for animal care education. By partnering with esteemed institutions, like TAFE and the University of Sydney, we provide valuable opportunities for aspiring veterinary professionals. Our hospital and its team also support the RSPCA NSW Hunter Shelter, which facilitates adoptions and ensures that our animals have the chance to find a loving home. 

Whether you’re a pet owner seeking assistance, or an advocate looking to make a difference, we invite you to help us care for the animals relying on us for aid. Indeed, by allowing our veterinary hospital to look after your pet, you can help provide ongoing support for the animals coming through our doors. The revenue made at our veterinary hospitals contributes to the care of our shelter animals, meaning your support helps create a brighter future for animals in need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all RSPCA NSW shelters have a veterinary hospital onsite?

Both our Sydney Adoption Centre and Hunter Shelter have veterinary hospitals located onsite. You can also reach out to the teams at our shelters and adoption centres if you’re in need of advice, supplies, or guidance with your pet.

Though our prices vary, we aim to make our services as affordable as possible. If you hold a health care card or pensioner card, we may be able to provide you with discounted services to further assist with your animal companion. Please contact your nearest veterinary hospital for additional information. 

The profits made at our veterinary hospitals contribute to the ongoing care and treatment of animals in need.
