Simpson in the heart of the Heytesbury Settlement is an important service area for The Vet Group. Located 30 minutes from Colac, Simpson is one of the nation’s most productive dairy areas and was established in the 1950’s as a bold experiment in agricultural settlement. “Bolte’s Blunder” became “Bolte’s Bonanza”. Our Simpson clinic houses a small administrative team, and on occasion our large animal field services team. Companion animal services are provided at our nearby Timboon clinic.

HOW WE CARE

The Vet Group is a veterinary group and we believe in assisting our clients with the care of their animals and the environment which they reside.

The Vet Group recognises our responsibility to help protect the planet and the environment that we work in. As a group, we are committed to minimising the impact our veterinary clinics has on the environment and supporting those who are working to improve global environmental sustainability.

The Vet Group is committed to re-cycling and avoiding waste where ever possible.

The Vet Group has partnered with Zoetis on the recycling of Teatseal syringes. Farmers have been encouraged to bring back to our clinics their used Teatseal syringes and The Vet Group will assistance from Zoetis will forward these used syringes to appropriate recycling companies so that the plastics can be re-used. Great example of our commitment to sustainability.

Do it Once

We do not take short cuts – we do things the right way, the best way, first time round producing better outcomes for our clients & their animals.
