The Animal Referral Hospital (ARH) Minchinbury has opened. The new animal hospital was established to meet the growing needs of pet parents in Western Sydney. The site, purpose-built for Greencross, features nine consultation rooms, three operating theatres, a Critical Care Unit and dedicated cat and dog waiting areas as well as separate wards for both feline and canine pets.
ARH Minchinbury has been built to Australian Small Animal Veterinarians Accredited hospital standards as well as the International Society for Feline medicine standards.
Led by Kyle Song BVSc, MANZCVS (Surgery), Head of Surgery Service and Hospital Director, ARH Minchinbury features the newest and latest technology with an advanced diagnostic imaging suite, featuring a brand-new human grade 1.5 Tesla MRI, CT, X-Ray, Fluoroscopy, Ultrasound, Endoscopy as well as an onsite laboratory.
“The opportunity to lead the team at ARH Minchinbury is a humbling experience. Australia has one of the highest pet ownerships in the world and being able to have such a profound impact on their lives and that of their owners is really special,” Song said.
GP and specialist referral services are available for small animals and wildlife, with 24/7 emergency services expected to be added in the coming months.
ARH Minchinbury will also be adding additional specialist services including neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, and internal medicine. The size of ARH Minchinbury means a range of specialists will be available onsite ensuring the most advanced pet health care and services for clients in the Blacktown area.
