Rye Veterinary Clinic
Established in 1987, Rye Vet Clinic has been caring for pets of the local community for over 30 years and has been owned and operated by Dr. Jaan Ackland and Dr Rachael Ackland since 2010. We are a small and personal family run clinic delivering high quality health care for the pets of Rye, Blairgowrie, Sorrento, Portsea, Tootgarook, Capel Sound, Rosebud, McCrae and surrounds.

We take great pleasure in developing close relationships with our clients and their pets. We are all pet owners ourselves, so we understand the loyalty, love and enjoyment that furry friends bring into peoples' lives. And what an amazing vet nurse Rachel is, we had two pets put down due to illness within three months, it was devastating, Rachel and Dr Jaan played a major role those days in our healing process.
Services
The Rye Vet Clinic is a family run business able to offer a high level of care for your pets along with personal service. You can be assured that you will be given all treatment options and that you will be supported in helping make the right decision for you and your pet. We understand that your pet is a vital part of your family and we are hear to listen to your concerns and to guide you towards the optimal wellness health plan for your pet.
At Rye Vet Clinic we pride ourselves in offering the best of care and service. It is our policy to offer our clients treatment options so that they can have an input into the most appropriate course of treatment for their pet. We make recommendations, go into detail about what we can offer, listen to clients' concerns and support our clients in making the right decision.
We pride ourselves on listening to our clients as we understand that no-one knows their pet like they do. Our vets have areas of special interest including geriatric care, surgery and medicine. Maintaining your pet's wellness is important to use. Consultations are by appointment, emergencies will be seen as a priority.
We recommend that pets are neutered unless they are intended to be bred from. Desexing prevents unwanted pregnancies and hence helps reduce the number of abandoned and stray animals euthanased each year. It helps unwanted attention from males and reduces their wandering instincts.

There are health benefits associated with desexing which include reducing the risk of certain cancers and preventing pyometra which is a life threatening infection of the uterus.Desexing can be done from 6 months of age. In female animals this is called a spey and in male animals is called castration.
Dental disease is the build up of plaque and calculus leading to gingivitis, inflammation of the gums and the loss of the supportive structures that hold teeth in place. Not only can it be painful, it can also be associated with other conditions such as heart disease and kidney disease, due to the increased bacteria in the mouth.

Fantastic service and very professional even though we are not existing customers! Couldn't get a booking over the Christmas break but the nurse gave me advice over the phone which has helped to ease our dogs cough. Thank you guys, most appreciated.

The employees are always extremely professional and compassionate towards our little pup.  The prices are very reasonable, and they always provide adequate information. I can't recommend them highly enough!!

We have recently moved away from the Mornington Peninsula and are yet to find a place as amazing as Rye Vet Clinic! The love and care given to our animals was just beautiful and l couldn’t recommend them enough. We haven’t out ruled the idea of keeping our vet, despite them being 45mins away now!

Rachel and Heather were great! Our dog had a grass seed deeply imbedded in his foot. Thank you to you both for returning a happy and healing Albert to us. Much appreciated!
