At Station Street Veterinary Clinic we have a special interest in all aspects of equine reproduction and breeding. We breed around 100 racing thoroughbreds at various studs in the West Gippsland and Bass regions of Victoria. We can also accommodate up to 40 mares per season at our Equine Facility in Loch for both Frozen and Fresh insemination cycles.

Foaling down is offered. The mares are under 24 hour monitoring in purpose built mare and foal paddocks. A vet is on the property at all times after dark which is when most mares will foal. Staff are within 20 minutes of the property if a mare should foal or activate the foaling alarms during daylight hours.

At Station Street Veterinary Clinic we don’t just cater for big farms and routine animals. If you are on a small acreage with just one or two animals we can still help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Variety is the spice of life, they say, and for us that’s seeing something a little different.

Between the staff at Station Street we own horses from Miniatures to Clydesdales, Cows from Angus and Brahman to Wagyus and X-breeds, we have Donkeys, Sheep, Goats and Alpacas - if you can name it someone in the clinic probably owns it and we can definitely treat it.

The only proviso is that you must be able to restrain the animal humanely and safely so that no harm can come to you, your animal, or to our staff.

To list all the procedures available would be impossible but needless to say, if it can be done we can do it or on the rare occasion we can’t, we will can always point you in the right direction.
