Services
Dr Bill Robinson established Karingal Veterinary Hospital at 210 Karingal Drive and operated from this converted display home until 1995. In that year the Hospital was purchased by Dr Scott Tinson with the objective of developing one of the premier veterinary hospitals in Australia.
Realising the original facility could not grow and provide the necessary level of services and equipment for the future, a vacant block of land on the corner of Cranbourne Road and Karingal Drive was purchased from the City of Frankston in 1997.With all the practice staff present, along with many family, friends and of course long standing loyal clients the ribbon-cutting service was held with great excitement.

Purpose-built in 2000, Karingal Veterinary Hospital is the Mornington Peninsula's only accredited Hospital of Excellence by the Australian Small Animal Veterinary Association. The hospital's facility includes a large waiting area with an extensive retail area offering pet foods, shampoos, leads, toys, treats and other products.
Dr Shane Simpson is a Melbourne born and bred but graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Hons) in 1996. Literally less than a week after finishing university he moved back to Melbourne to join Karingal Veterinary Hospital and has been here ever since! In 2012 he joined Dr Scott Tinson as a partner in both Karingal Veterinary Hospital and Ballam Park Veterinary Clinic.
Dr Jennifer Hutchinson graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science in 2006 and joined us shortly afterwards. With the purchase of Ballam Park Veterinary Clinic in 2010 Jennifer moved there full time as the head veterinarian but is now employed part-time across our two practices.
Dr Nancy Britto graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2014 with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and joined our team shortly afterwards. Her interests at work are general practice, managing long term medical cases and orthopaedics. Nancy is a bit of foodie and enjoys nothing more than having dinner at a great restaurant with her friends and family.

I took my elderly Father’s beloved dog to see Dr Ben today after concerns he was loosing too weight too quickly. After spending over an hour and Dr Ben meticulously testing Harry and diagnosing his problem …. I have only accolades, for all the staff from the reception ladies to the nurses. I highly recommend this Veterinary Practice 🤩 Dr Ben you are pretty awesome!

The staff are amazing, the service second to none. Pricing of their services is acceptable. Unlike other surgeries that tend to bleed your dry.
Their care plans are amazing value.
If you don't have your pet on a care plan, ask yourself whilst staring lovingly into your pets eyes, why you don't.
Someone in the Western Suburbs needs to replicate this business.
We now live 70km from there but would not hesitate to make the trip across town should any non emergency treatment be required..

We have nothing but praise and thanks for the staff at KVH. From reception to the nurses to the vets themselves, everyone we deal with for our two Shar Pei puppies take the time to answer all our questions and show genuine care and affection to our fury children. They go an extra mile for urgent case appointments and will do their best to accommodate extra requests. Really not much more that we could ask for.

All the staff at Karingal Vetinary Hospital are a delight to have treating my dog. They are so caring, professional and supportive. When my dog was in hospital for the day l was kept updated on his progress and informed of my choices. The vet went above and beyond in working with my dog and accommodating my family.
