About Us
The team your pets would choose
Our Vision
At Fairford road Animal Hospital we aim to be the vet of choice within our community and exceed expectations. We strive to continuously innovate and expand our knowledge and services.
Established in 1970, Fairford Road Animal Hospital has been part of the Bankstown and surrounding community for many years. In more recent times the hospital has been fully renovated, upgrading to the best possible facilities in which to provide animal care.
We offer an extensive range of Professional Veterinary Services, Animal Care Products and Boarding Facilities. Our qualified staff are passionate about animal health and continually complete further training and development to increase their knowledge and remain up to date with current products and procedures. We promote best practice for the pets we care for, as they are part of the Fairford Road Family. Through our many wellness programs and services by “putting your pet’s paws in our hands” they may live happy and healthy lives.
