Beachside Veterinary Hospital

Beachside Veterinary Hospital After graduating with honours from the University of Sydney in 1994 Cate moved to Northern Victoria to work in a mixed dairy practice.

She worked there for the next 3 years developing her skills in both small and large animal medicine and surgery. It was here she met her husband. At the beginning of 1998 they moved to the United Kingdom where Cate worked as a locum in a variety of small and mixed practices for almost 2 years gaining broad experience and exposure to varying techniques. On her return to Australia she was invited to

become a partner in the Northern Victorian practice where she had worked as a new graduate. At that time a branch practice was purchased which became Cate’s “baby” and with the assistance of dedicated staff it grew into a strong performing practice in its own right. Throughout the past 17 years Cate has done all the required continuing education plus extra study in both small animal surgery and ultrasonography. In 2011 she completed a 4 year Masters degree in small animal practice through Murdoch University in Perth. During this period she and her husband have been raising 3 beautiful daughters and their family dog “Kevin the Kelpie”. In 2015 following the devastating ANZAC Day earthquake Cate volunteered to travel to Nepal to be one of only three experienced cattle vets to be in the country to provide veterinary support for the sacred animals which represent the backbone of Nepalese society. It was the most professionally rewarding experience of her career and she hopes to be able to do more volunteering in the future. Cate moved north in 2016 to avoid the cold weather of Victoria and after six months working in a local clinic she recognises she has something different to offer, taking advantage of her broad experience, her commitment to professionalism and the latest techniques. After starting Beachside in January 2017, the business has grown from a mobile service to a small clinic in Yorkeys K**b, and since July 2023 the fully equiped hospital facility in Smithfield from which we operate today

Cate projects a bright and cheery manner and has a strong passion for animal care and support for clients. She and her highly dedicated team will always strive for the best outcome for both owner and pet.

We had another deciduous tooth removal! 🦷✨

(Not-so-little) Lenny came in to have his baby canines removed after they failed to fall out on their own and were starting to impact his upper gums.

And just look at those roots! 🫣🦷 These baby canines were around 3cm long, with only 0.5cm visible above the gumline!

If you've got a teething puppy, bring them in for a free dental check today!

🐶💤This snoozy pooch is Daisy!

🌸Daisy came in with a broken nail and a pesky hotspot, but she was such a brave girl while we clipped, cleaned and treated her ailments. 💕🐾

🤕Of course, she quickly worked her charm on our nurses and scored herself some extra cuddles… and she absolutely LOVED being rocked like a baby! 🥹💗

If your pooch is licking themselves, they may be in pain! Give us a call, we can help.

💙💛 Talk about making an entrance! It’s hard to miss Yoshi with those gorgeous colours! 🦜✨

Yoshi is a Blue-and-Gold Macaw and belongs to Dr Tony, who brought him along for a visit to the clinic the other day.

Did you know…
🦜 Macaws can live for 50+ years with the right care — that’s a seriously long-term friendship!
🧠 They’re incredibly intelligent and can learn words, sounds, tricks and problem-solving skills.
🦷 Their powerful beaks can crack open tough nuts and seeds, while their tongues help them manipulate their food.

It was lovely having this colourful character around the clinic! 💙💛

Little Benny came in for his desexing! ✂️🐹💙

Did you know male guinea pigs can reach sexual maturity from just 3–4 months old? 😳 Your little boy could become a dad sooner than you think!

We think Benny scrubs up pretty well, even after surgery! 😍🐹

Where has the time gone?! 😭 Axe isn’t so little anymore! 🐾

At 8 weeks, he was just 7kg. Now, at 6 months, he’s a whopping 33kg! 😳

And he’s still growing! Cane Corsos can reach around 70cm at the shoulder and weigh 45kg+ as adults. 💪

We can’t wait to see this handsome boy all grown up! ❤️
