Mitcham Pet Hospital
It is with deep sadness and reluctance that we have to now temporarily close the doors of Mitcham Pet Hospital. It has been an honour and a privilege to serve the community for the past 39 years. Due to a massive shortage of veterinarians in Victoria and across the nation, we have been unable to secure veterinarians to work in the practice and keep our services open.

This problem has been apparent for several years and is getting worse. Practices across the state are desperately seeking veterinarians. We have tried to hang on for as long as possible not wanting to disappoint you, our clients. We cannot offer veterinary care without veterinarians; so, we have had to take this extreme measure.

Absolutely amazing Place for all your Pet/Animal needs. The team is fantastic and such nice freindly caring people. Dr. Hootan is very good and very experiened and will treat your pets just like his own. Its the positive, freindly environment and mood that really affects the animals experience which this place has and makes such a difference. Highly recommend 👍

I moved over to Mitcham Vet Hospital with the vet as he was so personable with not only myself but my dog also. He loves the vet where he’s always greeted with love, happiness and care.
When you take your dog to the vet, it’s not always for nice reasons so you want to make sure you find a vet who understands this and puts your animal at ease. They definitely tick these boxes here at Mitcham Vet Hospital!
Would highly recommend A+++

Always glad and grateful to have Dr Hootan look after Udon my Samoyed. So much so we followed him to Mitcham Pet Hospital as we know Udon will always get the best care possible. He treats all his patients with attention to detail, providing great insights and arming you with the knowledge you need to help your babies recover with a peace of mind.

Amazing vet. Finally! I've tried a number of vets in my area and have not been happy with any of them. Eventually went to the Mitcham vet and found a person who actually likes dogs! Who would have thought! Would definitely recommend.

I'm really happy with the excellent service that I received at Mitcham Pet Hospital. Dr Hootan was very caring and gentle with my dog who is old and was quite nervous and the nurses were very courteous and kind too. I can highly recommend this vet clinic, they'll take the best care of your pet.

You feel welcome from the time you walk in with your four legged babies. The nurses are friendly and evidently love animals.
My dogs love Hootan the vet. He is so gentle with them and he does a very good check up on them even though we were just there for their booster shots.
I was able to get some solid advice from Hootan with regards to one of my dogs continual behavioural issues which he seemed to have suffered during lockdown.
If you want your fur babies to receive good care from a vet that evidently does this profession because of his love for animals then pay this practice a visit. You

I took my new precious Cavalier puppy Teddy to Hooten Shar at Mitcham Pet Hospital for the first time this week. Hooten is a wonderful, very knowledgeable vet who is absolutely passionate about the health of animals. I know I have made the right choice about entrusting Teddy’s long term health to Hooten at Mitcham Pet Hospital. I highly recommend this Vet practice to everyone who has a pet and looking for an excellent and caring vet.

Dr Hootan Shah is the best veterinarian I have ever met. He and his team are very professional, friendly, kind, reliable and responsible. If you want your pet to be taken great quality care of in a professional and friendly environment with the best techniques and equipment, Mitcham Pet Hospital is the best place to go. I can not recommend Dr Hootan Shah and his team highly enough!

Thank you Dr Hootan and the team for accomodating a last minute appointment to see Ari! We arrived super worried and panicking, but Dr Hootan reassured us and took us through the treatments in detail. And best of all, Ari loves coming to the vet! 🤣

Hootan is amazing and professional. He looks after your pet like his own. He picks them up, hugs them and talks to them. Treats them the way you treat your pets, and gives them the best care you can ask for. I highly recommend taking your beloved pets to him and his team.

In my Cats early years this was her primary Vet and I always received good service here. Recently she passed and I rushed her here in an emergency and the ladies attended to her immediately. I really appreciate the condolence card I received, signed by all the staff, it meant a lot while I'm grieving my beautiful girl.

We are travelling from interstate and noticed something wrong with our pups eye upon arrival to Melbourne. Called up the vet at about 6pm and they told us to head over. The female vet was lovely, thorough and reasonable and we are so grateful for her assistance this arvo. Thanks so much!

Thank you to the staff at Mitcham Pet Hospital. Our dog Chief had some surgery and the service we received was fantastic. Staff were so courteous, caring and provided Chief (and us) with great post surgery care and advice. I've never had a dog that races in to see the vet and staff. Thank you from us and Chief!
