Caring for Animals Across the Mornington Peninsula Since 1980

About Main Ridge Veterinary Clinic

For more than four decades, Main Ridge Veterinary Clinic has been a trusted provider of veterinary care for pets, horses, and farm animals throughout the Mornington Peninsula. Established in 1980, our clinic has grown from a small country practice into a recognised leader in mixed animal care, while staying true to our roots of compassion, integrity, and personalised service.

Our Story

What began as a small veterinary practice in Main Ridge has evolved into a comprehensive, modern clinic offering care for animals of all sizes — from beloved family pets to working farm stock. With over 70 years of combined veterinary experience, our team brings together a wealth of knowledge, hands-on skills, and a genuine love for animals.

Over the years, we’ve expanded our facilities to better serve the community. Our renovated small animal hospital is equipped for a wide range of medical, diagnostic, and surgical treatments, while our purpose-built equine hospital and large animal barn allow us to deliver efficient and cost-effective care for horses and farm animals — including overnight treatment when needed.

Our Commitment to Animals and Their Owners

At Main Ridge Vet, we believe that quality veterinary care goes beyond treating illness. It’s about building relationships based on trust, respect, and understanding.

We aim to:

  • ZProvide high-quality, compassionate care for every animal.
  • ZSupport owners with clear communication and practical advice.
  • ZDeliver veterinary services that are accessible, efficient, and effective.
  • ZContinue to evolve with the latest veterinary knowledge and techniques.

Whether it’s a new puppy’s first check-up, emergency care for a horse, or herd health management on the farm, our mission is always the same: to help animals live healthier, happier lives.

Our Role in the Community

As long-standing members of the Mornington Peninsula community, we take pride in being more than just a veterinary clinic. Many of our clients have been with us for generations, and we value the trust placed in our team. We regularly engage with local animal owners, farmers, and families to provide education, advice, and support, and we’re always looking for ways to give back to the community that has supported us for so many years.
