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.
(21)

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.

🐾Meet Ronni🐾

Ronni wasn't feeling like himself, and came into the clinic for a check up👩‍🔬

Upon arrival, he was a bit shy and unsure of the staff and surroundings. But after some big cuddles, he quickly got comfortable with our great nurses, and earned himself a 🏅Bravery Award!

Meet Pua and Sooty! 🐾

These handsome guinea pigs came in this week for castrations and what amazing patients they were! 😍

Neutering male guinea pigs not only prevents unwanted pregnancies in females but also reduces the risk of certain health issues such as testicular cancer and faecal impaction whilst greatly reducing unwanted behavioural issues.

If you're thinking about getting your guinea pig neutered, give us a call and we'll take care of everything.
Our team is dedicated to providing the best care for your fur babies, no matter how small they may be. 🐾

Hey everyone! Did you know that today is World Cassowary Day? 🌴🐦 As a proud residents of Cairns, Queensland, we couldn't be more excited to celebrate these unique and beautiful birds that call our tropical rainforest home. 🌿 Fun fact: Did you know that cassowaries are the third tallest and second heaviest bird in the world? That's right, they can grow up to 6 feet tall and weigh over 60kgs! 💪🏼 And their colorful casque (the horn on their head) is not just for show, it actually helps amplify their deep booming calls. 🗣️ But let's not forget the important role they play in our ecosystem. 🌎 As seed dispersers, cassowaries help maintain the balance of our rainforest by spreading seeds of various plant species. 🌱🌿 So to celebrate World Cassowary Day and show our appreciation for our cassowaries, share in the comments any photos you may have captured of these beautiful birds. #worldcassowaryday #tropicalparadise #rainforest #cassowary #cairnsqueensland
