About Us

In 2022, Dr Conor Brand and Dr Mark Reeve took ownership of Newton Veterinary Centre, bringing fresh energy and a deep commitment to pets and the local community. Dr Conor joined us from Tea Tree Gully Veterinary Hospital, where he and Dr Mark worked closely for five years before coming together to lead Newton Vet.

We provide a full range of general veterinary services—including health checks, vaccinations, desexing, dental care, surgery, and parasite control. From a puppy’s first visit to ongoing care for senior pets, we pride ourselves on genuine relationships, a down-to-earth approach, and gold-standard care.

At Newton Veterinary Centre, your pet’s wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do—and we're looking for a nurse who shares that ethos.
